This International Consensus Classification and Nomenclature for the congenital bicuspid aortic valve condition recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valves: 1. The fused type (right-left cusp fusion, right-non-coronary cusp fusion and left-non-coronary cusp fusion phenotypes); 2. The 2-sinus type (latero-lateral and antero-posterior phenotypes); and 3. The partial-fusion (forme fruste) type. The presence of raphe and the symmetry of the fused type phenotypes are critical aspects to describe. The Inter... Abstract

The ISME journal, Volume 16, Issue 1, 21 3 2021, Pages 211-220 Evidence for methanobactin "Theft" and novel chalkophore production in methanotrophs: impact on methanotrophic-mediated methylmercury degradation. Kang-Yun CS, Liang X, Dershwitz P, Gu W, Schepers A, Flatley A, Lichtmannegger J, Zischka H, Zhang L, Lu X, Gu B, Ledesma JC, Pelger DJ, DiSpirito AA, Semrau JD

Aerobic methanotrophy is strongly controlled by copper, and methanotrophs are known to use different mechanisms for copper uptake. Some methanotrophs secrete a modified polypeptide-methanobactin-while others utilize a surface-bound protein (MopE) and a secreted form of it (MopE*) for copper collection. As different methanotrophs have different means of sequestering copper, competition for copper significantly impacts methanotrophic activity. Herein, we show that Methylomicrobium album BG8, Methy...

Netherlands heart journal : monthly journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology and the Netherlands Heart Foundation, Volume 30, Issue 1, 14 2 2021, Pages 47-57 The challenge of choosing in cardiovascular risk management.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many years guidelines have listed optimal preventive therapy. More recently, novel therapeutic options have broadened the options for state-of-the-art CV risk management (CVRM). In the majority of patients with CVD, risk lowering can be achieved by utilising standard preventive medication combined with lifestyle modifications. In a minority of patients, add-on therapies should be considered to further reduce... Abstract

Introduction: Brucella is a genus of aerobic Gram negative bacteria that causes the disease brucellosis. It is considered a zoonotic infection transmitted to humans by ingestion of unpasteurised dairy products. Although aortic involvement is rarely seen, it can be a life threatening complication of this disease.

T cells are among the most common cell types present in atherosclerotic plaques and are increasingly being recognized as a central mediator in atherosclerosis development and progression. At the same time, triglycerides and fatty acids have re-emerged as crucial risk factors for atherosclerosis. Triglycerides and fatty acids are important components of the milieu to which the T cell is exposed from the circulation to the plaque, and increasing evidence shows that fatty acids influence T cell fun...

This study examined the impact of stirrer speed and bead material loading on fenofibrate particle breakage during wet stirred media milling (WSMM) via three kinetic models and a microhydrodynamic model. Evolution of median particle size was tracked via laser diffraction during WSMM operating at 3000-4000 rpm with 35-50% (v/v) concentration of polystyrene or zirconia beads. Additional experiments were performed at the center points of the above conditions, as well as outside the range of these co... Abstract

Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, Volume 8, Issue 7, 8 2 2021, Pages 79 Superimposed Tissue Formation in Human Aortic Valve Disease: Differences between Regurgitant and Stenotic Valves. Kruithof BPT, van Wijngaarden AL, Mousavi Gourabi B, Hjortnaes J, Palmen M, Ajmone Marsan N

The formation of superimposed tissue (SIT), a layer on top of the original valve leaflet, has been described in patients with mitral regurgitation as a major contributor to valve thickening and possibly as a result of increased mechanical stresses. However, little is known whether SIT formation also occurs in aortic valve disease. We therefore performed histological analyses to assess SIT formation in aortic valve leaflets (n = 31) from patients with aortic stenosis (n = 17) or aortic regurgitat... Abstract

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 8, 7 1 2021, Pages 699492 Prognostic Value of Natriuretic Peptides for All-Cause Mortality, Right Ventricular Failure, Major Adverse Events, and Myocardial Recovery in Advanced Heart Failure Patients Receiving a Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Systematic Review. Janssen E, Jukema JW, Beeres SLMA, Schalij MJ, Tops LF

Aims: Major adverse event (MAE) rates during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy in advanced heart failure (HF) patients are high, and impair quality of life and survival. Prediction and risk stratification of MAEs in order to improve patient selection and thereby outcome during LVAD therapy is therefore warranted. Circulating natriuretic peptides (NPs) are strong predictors of MAEs and mortality in chronic HF patients. However, whether NPs can identify patients who are at risk of MAEs... Abstract

Bakker DS, de Graaf M, Nierkens S, Delemarre EM, Knol E, van Wijk F, de Bruin-Weller MS, Drylewicz J, Thijs JL

Background: Increasing evidence shows that pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) differs from adult AD on a biologic level. Broad biomarker profiling across a wide range of ages of pediatric patients with AD is lacking. Objective: Our aim was to identify serum biomarker profiles in children with AD aged 0 to 17 years and compare these profiles with those previously found in adults with AD. Methods: Luminex multiplex immunoassays were used to measure 145 biomarkers in serum from 240 children with AD (... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 154, 4 1 2021, Pages 92-98 Prognostic Value of Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Performance in Fontan Patients < 15 Years of Age. Terol Espinosa de Los Monteros C, Harteveld LM, Kuipers IM, Rammeloo L, Hazekamp MG, Blom NA, Ten Harkel ADJ

In patients after Fontan completion exercise capacity is significantly reduced. Although peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is a strong prognostic factor in many cardiovascular diseases, it requires the achievement of a maximal effort. Therefore, submaximal exercise parameters such as oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) may be of value. In the present observational study we evaluated the exercise capacity with maximal and submaximal parameters in a group of Fontan patients with an extracardiac... Abstract
