Adenovirus: from foe to friend.
Gonçalves MA, de Vries AA
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) can cause mild respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital and ocular disease. Knowledge about HAdVs has been expanding for more than five decades putting them amongst the most-studied viruses. This continued interest stems, to a great extent, from the fact that these double-stranded DNA viruses have proven to be a versatile tool to probe the basic phenomena of eukaryotic cells. HAdV research has led to the discovery of, for instance, RNA splicing and greatly contributed...

Baseline plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide is associated with the extent of stress-induced myocardial ischemia during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
Feringa HH, Elhendy A, Bax JJ, Boersma E, de Jonge R, Schouten O, Karagiannis SE, Schinkel AF, Lindemans J, Poldermans D
Objective: To determine the relationship between baseline plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels and the presence and extent of myocardial ischemia during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). Methods: NT-proBNP was measured in 170 consecutive patients prior to DSE. Rest wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs) and new wall motion abnormalities (NWMAs) were scored using a 5-point, 17-segment model. Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied to study differences in NT-proBNP leve...

Assessment of left ventricular dyssynchrony in patients with conduction delay and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: head-to-head comparison between tissue doppler imaging and velocity-encoded magnetic resonance imaging.
Westenberg JJ, Lamb HJ, van der Geest RJ, Bleeker GB, Holman ER, Schalij MJ, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Reiber JH, Bax JJ
Objectives: This study sought to compare tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) with velocity-encoded (VE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony assessment. Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is proposed for patients with heart failure, depressed LV function, and a wide QRS complex. Selection is based mainly on electrocardiogram criteria, but recent data suggest that intraventricular dyssynchrony may be preferred for selection. An LV dyssynchrony can adeq...

Elhendy A, Schinkel AF, van Domberg RT, Bax JJ, Valkema R, Poldermans D
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of stress 99m technetium tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion imaging for the diagnosis of in stent stenosis (ISS). Methods: We studied 72 patients who underwent exercise or dobutamine stress 99m technetium tetrofosmin imaging, 0.9+/-0.5 years after percutaneous coronary interventions in which stents were deployed. Coronary angiography was performed within 3 months of the stress test. ISS was defined as > or =50% stenosis in a coronary...

Costs of encephalization: the energy trade-off hypothesis tested on birds.
Isler K, van Schaik C
Costs and benefits of encephalization are a major topic of debate in the study of primate and human evolution. Comparative studies provide an opportunity to test the validity of a hypothesis as a general principle, rather than it being a special case in primate or hominid evolution. If a population evolves a larger brain, the metabolic costs of doing so must be paid for by either an increased energy turnover (direct metabolic constraint) or by a trade-off with other energetically expensive costs...

Impact of sympathetic innervation on recurrent life-threatening arrhythmias in the follow-up of patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
Paul M, Schäfers M, Kies P, Acil T, Schäfers K, Breithardt G, Schober O, Wichter T
Purpose: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is defined as VF in the absence of any identifiable structural or functional cardiac disease. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are unknown. This study was performed to investigate the potential impact of sympathetic dysfunction, assessed by (123)I-meta-iodo-benzylguanidine scintigraphy ((123)I-MIBG SPECT), on the long-term prognosis of patients with IVF. Methods: (123)I-MIBG SPECT was performed in 20 patients (mean age 37+/-13 years)...

Time-varying elastance concept applied to the relation of carotid arterial flow velocity and ventricular area.
Broscheit JA, Weidemann F, Strotmann J, Steendijk P, Karle H, Roewer N, Greim CA
Objective: In this study, the relationship V(f)AR, which was obtained from carotid blood-flow velocity (V(f)) and the cross-sectional area (A) of the left ventricle, was used to assess changes in left ventricular (LV) systolic performance as indicated by the LV pressure-volume relationship (PVR) and end-systolic LV elastance (E(es)). Background: The relationship of maximum systolic V(f) as a surrogate for LV pressure and end-systolic LV area as a surrogate for end-systolic LV volume may allow fo...

Introduction: Recent cross-sectional studies have documented an association between acromegaly and regurgitant valvular heart disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in prevalence of valvular heart disease in relation to the clinical activity, because the natural history of valvular changes in acromegaly is unknown. Patients and methods: Valvular regurgitation was assessed in 37 acromegalic patients (18 patients with active disease, and 19 with controlled disease) by convention...

Inhibition of the multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein improves seizure control in phenytoin-treated chronic epileptic rats.
van Vliet EA, van Schaik R, Edelbroek PM, Redeker S, Aronica E, Wadman WJ, Marchi N, Vezzani A, Gorter JA
Purpose: Overexpression of multidrug transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may play a significant role in pharmacoresistance, by preventing antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) from reaching their targets in the brain. Until now, many studies have described increased P-gp expression in epileptic tissue or have shown that several AEDs act as substrates for P-gp. However, definitive proof showing the functional involvement of P-gp in pharmacoresistance is still lacking. Here we tested whether P-gp cont...

Left ventricular dyssynchrony in patients with heart failure: pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.
Bleeker GB, Bax JJ, Steendijk P, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE
The number of patients with chronic heart failure is increasing rapidly in the Western world. Despite the introduction of new pharmacologic therapies, the prognosis of these patients remains poor. Left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony is a frequently observed feature in patients with heart failure, and is recognized as an important predictor of poor outcome if left untreated. The presence of LV dyssynchrony leads to inefficient LV contraction with a decreased cardiac output. Moreover, patients with...

Potential and toxicity of intravesical pemetrexed: a preclinical study in pigs.
Hendricksen K, Moonen PM, van der Heijden AG, Molkenboer-Kuenen J, Hulsbergen-van de Kaa CA, Witjes JA
Purpose: In search for a new drug for intravesical use in superficial urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder, a pig model is used for pharmacokinetics and toxicity measurements after intravesically administered pemetrexed. Experimental design: In the dose escalation phase, two groups of two pigs received 5 and 10 mg/kg pemetrexed intravesically; four groups of three pigs received 15, 20, 25, and 30 mg/kg, respectively. The well-being of the animals was monitored. Blood was studied for pharmaco...

Aneurysm sac pressure monitoring: effect of pulsatile motion of the pressure sensor on the interpretation of measurements.
Hinnen JW, Koning OH, Vlaanderen E, van Bockel JH, Hamming JF
Purpose: To determine the effect of pulsatile motion of graft-attached pressure sensors on the accuracy of aneurysm sac pressure measurement. Methods: Pressure inside a pressure box was measured with a sensor attached to a stent-graft (Sensorgraft) facing a sensor in fixed position (Sensorbox). Maximum inter-sensor variation of Sensorgraft and Sensorbox was determined in static experiments. Experiments with pulsatile circulation were performed with a compliant and a noncompliant stent-graft at 1...
