[Bilateral femoral fractures due to bisphosphonate use].
Reijmer JFH, van Schaik TJA, Vermeulen MAR, van der Stappen WJM, Strang S
The risk of an atypical femoral fracture increases with the use of bisphosphonates for longer than 5 years. The typical presentation of an atypical femoral fracture consists of a transverse subtrochanteric femoral fracture originating from the lateral cortex with a medial spike, occurring after minimal or no trauma. For patients presenting with a spontaneous femoral fracture who are using bisphosphonates, it is recommended to discontinue bisphosphonate use and to determine the future fracture ri...

Intermittent compression devices as antithrombotic strategy in neurosurgical interventions: a prospective randomized controlled trial (Trial In Prevention of Post-Operative ThromboEmbolic Events).
Zhang Z, Marcano A, Huisman MV, van Schaik J, Cannegieter S, Vleggeert-Lankamp CLA
Background: Postoperative venous thrombosis is linked to high morbidity and mortality and the risk is heightened in neurosurgical patients due to prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulability, and long surgeries. Optimal prophylaxis under debate and variations in practices are prevalent. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of limb intermittent compression devices (ICD) combined with subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) compared with LMWH alone as a prophylactic strategy for venous...

Heart failure in patients with a systemic right ventricle: A multicentre study with long-term follow-up.
Ansari Ramandi MM, Budts W, Roos-Hesselink JW, Helbing WA, Egorova AD, Bouma BJ, Duijnhouwer A, van Kimmenade R, Sieswerda GT, Konings TC, Wagenaar LJ, Ubachs JFA, Berger RMF, Hoendermis ES, Voors AA, van Melle JP
Aims: Adult patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and an systemic right ventricle (sRV) are at risk for heart failure (HF). In this study, we investigated risk factors for HF hospitalization and developed a novel risk stratification tool to optimize risk prediction for clinical practice. Methods and results: In this international multicentre study, 522 patients with TGA and an sRV, without history of HF hospitalization, were followed retrospectively for a median of 17.9 years (...

Investigating the Anrep Effect in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy With Invasive Pressure-Volume Analysis.
Reil JC, Sequeira V, Reil GH, Scholtz S, Rudolph V, Maack C, Serruys P, Steendijk P
Background: The Anrep effect, an adaptation enhancing left ventricular (LV) contractility in response to raised afterload, is hypothesized to influence hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pathophysiology. Objectives: This study investigated the activation and reversibility of the Anrep effect in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) to relieve LV outflow tract obstruction. Methods: Invasive pressure-volume (PV) ana...

Major nuclear locales define nuclear genome organization and function beyond A and B compartments.
Gholamalamdari O, van Schaik T, Wang Y, Kumar P, Zhang L, Zhang Y, Gonzalez GAH, Vouzas AE, Zhao PA, Gilbert DM, Ma J, van Steensel B, Belmont AS
Models of nuclear genome organization often propose a binary division into active versus inactive compartments yet typically overlook nuclear bodies. Here, we integrated analysis of sequencing and image-based data to compare genome organization in four human cell types relative to three different nuclear locales: the nuclear lamina, nuclear speckles, and nucleoli. Although gene expression correlates mostly with nuclear speckle proximity, DNA replication timing correlates with proximity to multip...

Early versus late chest tube removal after surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax-a systematic review and meta-analysis.
van Steenwijk QCA, Spaans LN, Braun J, Dijkgraaf MGW, van den Broek FJC
Background: The optimal timing of postoperative chest tube removal remains disputable. Traditionally, chest tubes are left in place for several days for adequate pleurodesis and recurrence prevention after surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). Currently, early tube removal, defined as immediate removal upon cessation of air leakage, is increasingly practiced. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of early chest tube removal in terms of recurrence in these patients. Methods: MEDLI...

Brain age identification from diffusion MRI synergistically predicts neurodegenerative disease.
Gao C, Kim ME, Ramadass K, Kanakaraj P, Krishnan AR, Saunders AM, Newlin NR, Lee HH, Yang Q, Taylor WD, Boyd BD, Beason-Held LL, Resnick SM, Barnes LL, Bennett DA, Albert MS, Van Schaik KD, Archer DB, Hohman TJ, Jefferson AL, Išgum I, Moyer D, Huo Y, Schilling KG, Zuo L, Bao S, Mohd Khairi N, Li Z, Davatzikos C, Landman BA
Estimated brain age from magnetic resonance image (MRI) and its deviation from chronological age can provide early insights into potential neurodegenerative diseases, supporting early detection and implementation of prevention strategies to slow disease progression and onset. Diffusion MRI (dMRI), a widely used modality for brain age estimation, presents an opportunity to build an earlier biomarker for neurodegenerative disease prediction because it captures subtle microstructural changes that p...

Defibrillation Threshold Testing After ICD Implantation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.
Timal RJ, Osman L, Rotmans JI, Bootsma M, Mertens B, Schalij MJ, Rabelink TJ, Jukema JW
Introduction: Routine defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing at the time of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation is no longer recommended because testing did not improve shock efficacy or reduce arrhythmic death. However, patients with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) were not included in these trials and might benefit from DFT testing. International guidelines shed no light on the subject of the effect of kidney function on DFT testing in patients with CKD. Methods: In t...

Background: The relevant time frame for predicting future acute coronary syndrome (ACS) based on coronary lesion characteristics remains uncertain. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of lesion characteristics with test-to-event time and their prognostic impact on ACS. Methods: The EMERALD II (Exploring the Mechanism of Plaque Rupture in Acute Coronary Syndrome Using Coronary CT Angiography and Computational Fluid Dynamics II) study analyzed 351 patients who unde...

Plaque burden improves the detection of ischemic CAD over stenosis from coronary computed tomography angiography.
Kero T, Bär S, Saraste A, Klén R, Bax JJ, Knuuti J, Maaniitty T
In symptomatic patients undergoing coronary CTA for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), we assessed if quantification of plaque burden, in addition to luminal narrowing and clinical risk factors, offers incremental value for the identification of ischemic CAD on a per patient level. We evaluated 2145 patients who underwent coronary CTA for suspected CAD with sequential selective downstream 15O-water positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging. Coronary CTA scans were ana...

Current methods in the diagnosis of invasive meningococcal disease.
Ciftci E, Ocal D, Somer A, Tezer H, Yilmaz D, Bozkurt S, Dursun OU, Merter Ş, Dinleyici EC
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) remains a significant health concern due to its global distribution, potential for epidemic spread, unpredictable nature, rapid progression, and high mortality rates or permanent sequelae. The global elimination of meningococcal illness via immunization is a primary objective of the World Health Organization's strategy to defeat meningitis by 2030. Timely recognition of meningococcal infection and immediate, precise, and specific identification of Neisse...

Improving efficiency of a rheumatology outpatient clinic through classification of newly referred patients.
Dijkstra S, de Man YA, Braaksma A, de Graaf M, Bernelot Moens HJ, Boucherie RJ
Objectives: Diagnosing a rheumatological disease in patients newly referred by their general practitioner requires assessment by a rheumatologist and often diagnostic tests. Ideally, these tests are performed prior to the patient's first consultation with the rheumatologist, aiming for quick diagnosis and fewer visits. We retrospectively studied whether a pre-first visit digital patient questionnaire can lead to fewer consultations and faster diagnosis. Methods: We applied machine learning-...

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the spread of solid tumors and is often the first site of metastasis, as cancer cells typically invade nearby lymph nodes (LN) before potentially spreading to other LNs through the lymphatic system and distant organs through the bloodstream [...].
