Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 10, 16 3 2023, Pages 1264319 High residual cardiovascular risk after lipid-lowering: prime time for Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory, and Psycho-cognitive medicine. Reijnders E, van der Laarse A, Jukema JW, Cobbaert CM

As time has come to translate trial results into individualized medical diagnosis and therapy, we analyzed how to minimize residual risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by reviewing papers on "residual cardiovascular disease risk". During this review process we found 989 papers that started off with residual CVD risk after initiating statin therapy, continued with papers on residual CVD risk after initiating therapy to increase high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), followed by...

Microbiome, Volume 11, Issue 1, 14 2 2023, Pages 224 Coexistence of specialist and generalist species within mixed plastic derivative-utilizing microbial communities. Schaerer L, Putman L, Bigcraft I, Byrne E, Kulas D, Zolghadr A, Aloba S, Ong R, Shonnard D, Techtmann S

Background: Plastic-degrading microbial isolates offer great potential to degrade, transform, and upcycle plastic waste. Tandem chemical and biological processing of plastic wastes has been shown to substantially increase the rates of plastic degradation; however, the focus of this work has been almost entirely on microbial isolates (either bioengineered or naturally occurring). We propose that a microbial community has even greater potential for plastic upcycling. A microbial community has grea... Abstract

Influenza infection increases the risk of cardiovascular complications and mortality in patients with heart disease. In patients with coronary artery disease influenza vaccination has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality, but high-quality evidence was missing. New trial data from a RCT in patients shortly after myocardial infarction has confirmed the significant reduction of the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cardiovascular death after influenza vaccination.

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 208, 10 2 2023, Pages 92-100 Evaluation of Clinical Applicability of Coronary Artery Calcium Assessment on Non-Gated Chest Computed Tomography, Compared With the Classic Agatston Score on Cardiac Computed Tomography. Groen RA, Jukema JW, van Dijkman PRM, Timmermans PT, Bax JJ, Lamb HJ, de Graaf MA

Given current pretest probability (PTP) estimations tend to overestimate patients' risk for obstructive coronary artery disease, evaluation of patients' coronary artery calcium (CAC) is more precise. The value of CAC assessment with the Agatston score on cardiac computed tomography (CT) for risk estimation has been well indicated in patients with stable chest pain. CAC can be equally well assessed on routine non-gated chest CT, which is often available. This study aims to determine the... Abstract

International journal of cardiology, Volume 395, 5 1 2023, Pages 131414 Impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on right ventricular function and remodeling after aortic valve replacement. Myagmardorj R, Stassen J, Nabeta T, Hirasawa K, Singh GK, van der Kley F, de Weger A, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ

Background: Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are common factors that have been associated with poor prognosis after aortic valve replacement (AVR). Since there is still uncertainty about the impact of COPD on RV function and dilatation in patients undergoing AVR, we sought to explore RV function and remodeling in the presence and absence of COPD as well as their prognostic implications. Methods: Patients who received surgical or transcathet... Abstract

The Lancet. Infectious diseases, Volume 24, Issue 2, 3 1 2023, Pages 206-216 Boostability after single-visit pre-exposure prophylaxis with rabies vaccine: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial. Overduin LA, Koopman JPR, Prins C, Verbeek-Menken PH, De Pijper CA, Eblé PL, Heerink F, van Genderen PJJ, Grobusch MP, Visser LG

Background: After rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) vaccination, scarcely available rabies immunoglobulins are not required for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). However, PrEP is not sufficiently accessible as it is cost-intensive and time-intensive. This study investigates whether rabies PrEP schedules can be shortened to one visit, removing some of these barriers. Methods: In a block-randomised (2:2:2:1) controlled, multicentre non-inferiority trial, healthy adult travellers (aged 18-50 ye... Abstract
