Meucci MC, Mantegazza V, Wu HW, van Wijngaarden AL, Garlaschè A, Tamborini G, Pepi M, Bax JJ, Ajmone Marsan N
Aims: This study aims to explore the presence of left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) morphological and functional abnormalities in patients with Barlow's disease (BD) without significant mitral regurgitation (MR) and to investigate whether these abnormalities may predict MR progression. Methods and results: Consecutive patients with BD were retrospectively identified from two tertiary centres; those with MR graded from trivial to mild-to-moderate were selected and matched with health...

The TRAIN Health Awareness Clinical Trial: Baseline Findings and Cardiovascular Risk Management in Aortic Dissection Patients.
Bacour N, Grewal S, Tirpan AU, Theijse R, Erp OV, Klautz RJM, Sakalihasan N, Hultgren R, Grewal N
Acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening condition requiring timely surgical intervention. Despite successful surgery, postoperative outcomes are frequently suboptimal due to the high frequency of cardiovascular risk factors. This study examines baseline cardiovascular risk factors in a population of ATAAD patients in the Netherlands. Additionally, this study outlines the protocol for a randomized controlled trial, designed to improve postoperative management.Baseline data we...

Daily rhythms in metabolic and locomotor behaviour of prematurely ageing PolgA mice.
Singh A, Yilmaz D, Wehrle E, Kuhn GA, Müller R
Ageing is an inherent and intricate biological process that takes place in living organisms as time progresses. It involves the decline of multiple physiological functions, leading to body structure and overall performance modifications. The ageing process differs among individuals and is influenced by various factors, including lifestyle, environment and genetic makeup. Metabolic changes and reduced locomotor activity are common hallmarks of ageing. Our study focuses on exploring these phenomen...

The impact of statin use on sepsis mortality.
Li M, Noordam R, Trompet S, Winter EM, Jukema JW, Arbous MS, Rensen PCN, Kooijman S
Background: Statins exert pleiotropic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in addition to their cholesterol-lowering properties. This study aimed to investigate whether statin use is associated with improved outcomes of sepsis. Methods: Data from patients with sepsis were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. Patients with a history of receiving prescriptions for statins (i.e., atorvastatin, lovastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, or simvas...

Willems SA, Pruim JD, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Brouwers JJWM
Background: The accurate prediction of foot ulcer healing remains a major challenge in clinical practice. To date, no reliable bedside tests are available. The primary aim of this study was to determine the prognostic performance of the maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) to predict ulcer healing. Secondary objectives comprised the investigation of the prognostic accuracy in patients prone to medial arterial calcification and to assess the potential risk of amputation. Methods: A single-cente...

A genome-wide association meta-analysis of all-cause and vascular dementia.
Mega Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (MEGAVCID) consortium
Introduction: Dementia is a multifactorial disease with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) pathologies making the largest contributions. Yet, most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focus on AD. Methods: We conducted a GWAS of all-cause dementia (ACD) and examined the genetic overlap with VaD. Our dataset includes 800,597 individuals, with 46,902 and 8702 cases of ACD and VaD, respectively. Known AD loci for ACD and VaD were replicated. Bioinformatic analyses prioritiz...

Intravascular lithotripsy for the treatment of peri-stent calcific lesions in saphenous vein grafts: A case series report.
Meijer M, Oliveri F, van Oort MJH, Bingen BO, van der Kley F, Jukema JW, Al Amri I, Montero-Cabezas JM
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a cornerstone treatment for coronary artery disease, with the use of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) being prevalent. However, SVGs are susceptible to high failure rates due to graft inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, and atherosclerosis, leading to a substantial number of patients requiring revascularization. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of SVGs poses unique challenges, including increased risk of distal embolization and perforation...

Mitral valve repair with resection and non-resection techniques in Barlow's disease: A multi-center study.
Tomšič A, Holubec T, Sandoval E, Pham T, Castella M, Klautz RJM, Marsan NA, Pereda D, Palmen M
Background: Various mitral valve (MV) repair techniques are nowadays in use. Non-resection techniques, that rely exclusively on Gore-Tex® neochords and annuloplasty, have been popularized; however, their efficacy in Barlow's disease, characterized by large myxomatous leaflets, is yet unclear. Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing MV repair for Barlow's disease between 2011 and 2019 were selected on the basis of being eligible for resection and non-resection techniques. Study endpoin...

Biofilm mitigation in hybrid chemical-biological upcycling of waste polymers.
Stoddard H, Kulas D, Zolghadr A, Aloba S, Schaerer LG, Putman L, Valencia I, Lacey JA, Shonnard DR, Techtmann SM, Ong RG
Introduction: Accumulation of plastic waste in the environment is a serious global issue. To deal with this, there is a need for improved and more efficient methods for plastic waste recycling. One approach is to depolymerize plastic using pyrolysis or chemical deconstruction followed by microbial-upcycling of the monomers into more valuable products. Microbial consortia may be able to increase stability in response to process perturbations and adapt to diverse carbon sources, but may be more li...

Accumulation of airborne microplastics on leaves of different tree species in the urban environment.
Leitão IA, Van Schaik L, Iwasaki S, Ferreira AJD, Geissen V
Microplastics (MPs) are omnipresent in the environment and they are linked to ecosystem and human health problems. The atmospheric transport of MPs and the role of tree leaves in MP atmospheric deposition has not been adequately studied. MP concentrations on the leaves of different tree species in urban regions of the Netherlands and Portugal, along with related MP deposition, were investigated in this study. We collected leaves from cedar, eucalyptus, oak, pine and willow trees, together with m...

The impact of the bluetongue serotype 3 outbreak on sheep and goat mortality in the Netherlands in 2023.
Santman-Berends IMGA, van den Brink KMJA, Dijkstra E, van Schaik G, Spierenburg MAH, van den Brom R
In September 2023, bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) emerged in the Netherlands, infecting over five thousand livestock farms. In sheep, high morbidity and mortality rates were reported that were unlike previously described bluetongue outbreaks. This study aimed to quantify the impact of BTV-3 in the small ruminant population in the Netherlands in 2023. Sheep and goat movement census data and BTV-3 notification data were available from 2020 until the end of 2023. Data were aggregated to farm a...
