Optimizing Smoking Cessation Counseling in a University Hospital: Results and Pitfalls.
de Frel DL, Janssen VR, Meijer E, Atsma DE
Background: Healthcare professionals (HPs) can play a substantial role in smoking cessation counseling (SCC) but in practice often skip this task due to time constraints. This study evaluates the implementation of the rapid Ask-Advise-Connect (AAC) method in a University hospital setting. Methods: This mixed methods pre-post interventional study was performed at the Cardiology department of a University hospital and consisted of (1) a quantitative assessment of patient smoking registration and H...

Co-evolutionary adaptations of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> and a clinical carbapenemase-encoding plasmid during carbapenem exposure.
Zhang L, Fu Y, Zhang L, Xu Q, Yang Y, He J, Leptihn S, Loh B, Moran RA, van Schaik W, Toleman MA, Chen Q, Liu L, Yu Y, Hua X
OXA-23 is the predominant carbapenemase in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. The co-evolutionary dynamics of A. baumannii and OXA-23-encoding plasmids are poorly understood. Here, we transformed A. baumannii ATCC 17978 with pAZJ221, a bla OXA-23-containing plasmid from clinical A. baumannii isolate A221, and subjected the transformant to experimental evolution in the presence of a sub-inhibitory concentration of imipenem for nearly 400 generations. We used population sequencing to tr...

Sleep as a window to target traumatic memories.
van der Heijden AC, van den Heuvel OA, van der Werf YD, Talamini LM, van Marle HJF
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe psychiatric disorder in which traumatic memories result in flashbacks and nightmares. With one-third of patients not responding to standard exposure-based psychotherapy, new treatment strategies are needed. Sleep offers a unique time window to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Traumatic memories that are neutralized in therapy need to be stored back into memory (consolidated) during sleep to solidify the treatment effect. New basic research shows tha...

Nonpharmacological Applications During the Retinopathy of Prematurity Examination and Their Effects on Pain Control: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Erçelik ZE, Yilmaz D
Examination for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a very painful procedure. Therefore, pain management is essential given the possibility of sensory and behavioral problems in newborns, who are constantly exposed to painful stimuli. In this light, the use of nonpharmacological methods alone or in combination with pharmacological methods is recommended for pain control. This systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of nonpharmacological treatments on pain during ROP exami...

Akgül F, Er A, Çağlar A, Ulusoy E, Çitlenbik H, Duman M, Yılmaz D
Background: Thoracoabdominal injuries (TAI) are an important cause of trauma-related morbidity in children. Early and correct intervention is essential to reduce mortality. We aimed to determine factors associated with mortality and the need for intensive care in TAI. Methods: The children admitted to the pediatric emergency department of a tertiary care hospital with TAI in a 6-year-period were enrolled. Demographic data; mechanism of injuries; clinical, laboratory and imaging findings; length...

Reliability of bedside tests for diagnosing peripheral arterial disease in patients prone to medial arterial calcification: A systematic review.
Brouwers JJWM, Willems SA, Goncalves LN, Hamming JF, Schepers A
Background: Medial arterial calcification (MAC), frequently associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a systemic vascular disorder leading to stiffness and incompressible arteries. These changes impede the accuracy of bedside tests to diagnose peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This review aimed to evaluate the reliability of bedside tests for the detection of PAD in patients prone to MAC. Methods: A systematic search (Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, a...

Optical ventricular cardioversion by local optogenetic targeting and LED implantation in a cardiomyopathic rat model.
Nyns ECA, Jin T, Fontes MS, van den Heuvel T, Portero V, Ramsey C, Bart CI, Zeppenfeld K, Zeppenfeld K, Schalij MJ, van Brakel TJ, Ramkisoensing AA, Zhang G, Poelma RH, Ördög B, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA
Aims: Ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs) are common in the pathologically remodelled heart. These arrhythmias can be lethal, necessitating acute treatment like electrical cardioversion to restore normal rhythm. Recently, it has been proposed that cardioversion may also be realized via optically controlled generation of bioelectricity by the arrhythmic heart itself through optogenetics and therefore without the need of traumatizing high-voltage shocks. However, crucial mechanistic and translation...

Association between computed tomography-derived tricuspid annular dimensions and prognosis: insights from whole-beat computed tomography assessment.
Hirasawa K, Fortuni F, van Rosendael PJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has been associated with outcome in patients treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Tricuspid annulus (TA) dimensions are associated with TR. However, the TA is highly dynamic during the cardiac cycle, and the interaction between the TA dimensions, TR, and patient prognosis has never been evaluated. This study aimed to characterize the dynamics of the TA along with the cardiac cycle and its association with prognosis in patients undergoing...

<i>DPYD*7</i> as a Predictor of Severe Fluoropyrimidine-Related Adverse Events.
de With M, Brufau G, van den Berg LA, de Man FM, Trajkovic M, Thijs MF, Castel R, Vermeer HJ, El Bouazzaoui S, van Hemel A, Matic M, Mathijssen RHJ, Bins S, van Schaik RHN
Purpose: Around 20%-30% of patients treated with fluoropyrimidines develop severe treatment-related adverse events (AEs). These are mainly caused by deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, its main metabolizing enzyme. The DPYD*7 variant allele contains a frameshift mutation that leads to absence of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase. Clinical studies on this variant in patients treated with fluoropyrimidines are lacking because of its low minor allelic frequency. However, the DPYD*7 minor a...

Background: Efficient recovery of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) depends on the quantity and quality of circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA). Here, we evaluated whether various ccfDNA extraction methods routinely applied in Dutch laboratories affect ccfDNA yield, ccfDNA integrity, and mutant ctDNA detection, using identical lung cancer patient-derived plasma samples. Methods: Aliquots of 4 high-volume diagnostic leukapheresis plasma samples and one artificial reference plasma sample with predetermi...

Normal and abnormal development of the aortic valve and ascending aortic wall: a comprehensive overview of the embryology and pathology of the bicuspid aortic valve.
Grewal N, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Lindeman JH, Klautz A, Driessen A, Klautz RJM, Poelmann RE
A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most prevalent congenital cardiac anomaly, in which the valve has only two leaflets, instead of the normal three. Patients with a BAV have an increased risk of aneurysm formation and the development of an aortic dissection. Vascular smooth muscle cells in both the non- and dilated aortic wall are characterized by a maturation defect in all BAV patients, as compared to patients with a tricuspid aortic valve, which can contribute to inherent developmental susce...

Study of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Young Patients with Cryptogenic Stroke: Prevalence of Patent Foramen Ovale and Interpretation of the RoPE Score.
Arslan A, Yılmaz DÇ, Adıyaman M, Kara C, Örsçelik Ö, Yılmaz IA
Objective: Cryptogenic stroke (CS) is considered to be the most common stroke subtype in young patients. The Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) score is a tool that stratifies patients with CS according to the probability of patent foramen ovale (PFO). The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the prevalence of PFO in young patients with transesophageal echocardi- ography (TEE) and to evaluate the role of RoPE score in PFO-related strokes. Methods: The medical records of patients with...

Uncommon presentation of Meckel's diverticulum in a child with decompensated hypovolemic shock.
Şık N, Uzun A, Öztürk A, Aydın E, Karakuş OZ, Duman M, Yılmaz D
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and may cause serious complications such as intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, or inflammation with/without perforation, which can present with non-spe-cific symptoms and signs. We report on the case of a 2.5-year-old boy admitted to our emergency department in poor condition, with compatible signs of decompensated hypovolemic shock. This case finally resulted in intestinal volvu...
