Plaque Rupture in a Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivor without Cardiovascular Risk Factors 20 Years after Thoracic Radiotherapy: A Case Report.
Polomski EAS, de Graaf MA, Jukema JW, Antoni ML
Background: Major improvements in cancer therapies have significantly contributed to increased survival rates of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors, outweighing cardiovascular side effects and the risks of radiation-induced heart disease. Non-invasive screening for coronary artery disease (CAD) starting five years after irradiation is recommended, as plaque development and morphology may differ in this high-risk population. Due to rapid plaque progression and a possibly higher incidence of non-calc...

The Use of Autologous Subcutaneous Fat Tissue to Embolize an Infected Iliac Artery Pseudoaneurysm.
Reijnen MMPJ, van Werkum MH, Frans F, van Schaik PM
We describe a patient with a fistula between small bowel and a polyester patch of the common iliac artery. After emergency treatment with an endograft, the patch was replaced by a venous patch. Within 3-week a symptomatic pseudoaneurysm developed. It was decided to embolize the pseudoaneurysm using autologous subcutaneous fat, followed by a femoro-femoral crossover bypass using an allograft. Using this technique, the pseudoaneurysm was successfully excluded. This case shows that subcutaneous fat...

URM: Underrepresented or Underrecognized? A Case Study of Black Pediatric Critical Care Physicians.
Edwell A, Van Schaik S, Teherani A
Purpose: This study explored Black physicians' experience via an antideficit lens to gain new ideas for advancing minoritized physicians in academic medicine more broadly. Increasingly, systemic racism in academic medicine is intentionally acknowledged and named. However, many solutions to tackle racism and the overall paucity of Black physicians use a deficit framing, painting Black physicians and trainees as lacking preparation, interest, or experience and qualifications. Such solutions a...

The impact of coastal realignment on the availability of ecosystem services: gains, losses and trade-offs from a local community perspective.
Bax V, van de Lageweg WI, Terpstra T, Buijs JM, de Reus K, de Groot F, van Schaik R, Habte MA, Schram J, Hoogenboom T
Coastal realignment is the procedure of repositioning or removing coastal defense structures to restore tidal flooding and facilitate the development of intertidal ecosystems in a previously reclaimed area from the sea. A key policy objective of coastal realignment is to increase ecosystem services provided by intertidal ecosystems and thereby contribute to human well-being. However, the social response to coastal realignment is often negative, raising the question as to what extent communities...

van der Sangen NMR, Küçük IT, Sivanesan S, Appelman Y, Ten Berg JM, Verburg A, Azzahhafi J, Arkenbout EK, Kikkert WJ, Pisters R, Jukema JW, Arslan F, van 't Hof A, Ilhan M, Hoebers LP, van der Schaaf RJ, Damman P, Woudstra P, van de Hoef TP, Bax M, Anthonio RL, Polad J, Adriaenssens T, Dewilde W, Zivelonghi C, Laanmets P, Majas R, Dijkgraaf MGW, Claessen BEPM, Henriques JPS
Background: Early aspirin withdrawal, also known as P2Y12-inhibitor monotherapy, following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) can reduce bleeding without a trade-off in efficacy. Still the average daily bleeding risk is highest during the first months and it remains unclear if aspirin can be omitted immediately following PCI. Methods: The LEGACY study is an open-label, multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluating the saf...

Increased Aortic Exclusion in Endovascular Treatment of Complex Aortic Aneurysms.
Verhagen M, Eefting D, van Rijswijk C, van der Meer R, Hamming J, van der Vorst J, van Schaik J
Purpose: Perioperative risk assessments for complex aneurysms are based on the anatomical extent of the aneurysm and do not take the length of the aortic exclusion into account, as it was developed for open repair. Nevertheless, in the endovascular repair (ER) of complex aortic aneurysms, additional segments of healthy aorta are excluded compared with open repair (OR). The aim of this study was to assess differences in aortic exclusion between the ER and OR of complex aortic aneurysms, to subseq...

Establishing immunogenicity and safety of needle-free intradermal delivery by nanoporous ceramic skin patch of mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine as a revaccination strategy in healthy volunteers.
Prins MLM, Prins C, de Vries JJC, Visser LG, Roukens AHE
Introduction: Nanoporous microneedle arrays (npMNA) are being developed as skin patches for vaccine delivery. As alternative for needle-based immunisation, they may potentially result in higher vaccine acceptance, which is important for future mass vaccination campaigns to control outbreaks, such as COVID-19, and for public vaccination in general. In this study we investigated the safety and immunogenicity of needle-free intradermal delivery of a fractional third or fourth dose of mRNA-1273 vacc...

Alternative reproductive tactics of unflanged and flanged male orangutans revisited.
Kunz JA, Duvot GJ, Ashbury AM, Willems EP, Spillmann B, Dunkel LP, Bin Abdullah M, Schuppli C, Vogel ER, Utami Atmoko SS, van Noordwijk MA, van Schaik CP
In many slowly developing mammal species, males reach sexual maturity well before they develop secondary sexual characteristics. Sexually mature male orangutans have exceptionally long periods of developmental arrest. The two male morphs have been associated with behavioral alternative reproductive tactics, but this interpretation is based on cross-sectional analyses predominantly of Northwest Sumatran populations. Here we present the first longitudinal analyses of behavioral changes of 10 adult...
