Separable mixing: The general formulation and a particular example focusing on mask efficiency.
Bootsma MCJ, Chan KMD, Diekmann O, Inaba H
The aim of this short note is twofold. First, we formulate the general Kermack-McKendrick epidemic model incorporating static heterogeneity and show how it simplifies to a scalar Renewal Equation (RE) when separable mixing is assumed. A key general feature is that all information about the heterogeneity is encoded in one nonlinear real valued function of a real variable. Next, we specialize the model ingredients so that we can study the efficiency of mask wearing as a non-pharmaceutical interven...

One-Year Mortality in Patients Undergoing an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pulse Generator Replacement: Identifying Patients at Risk.
Feijen M, Egorova AD, Kuijken T, Bootsma M, Schalij MJ, van Erven L
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) significantly contribute to the prevention of sudden cardiac death in selected patients. However, it is essential to identify those who are likely to not have benefit from an ICD and to defer a pulse generator exchange. Easily implementable guidelines for individual risk stratification and decision making are lacking. This study investigates the 1-year mortality of patients who underwent an ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator...

Duivenvoorden AAM, Clarysse M, Ceulemans LJ, Geelkerken RH, Derikx JPM, de Vries JPM, Buscher HCJL, Olde Damink SWM, van Schooten FJ, Lubbers T, Lenaerts K, Dutch Mesenteric Ischemia Study group (DMIS)
Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a life-threatening condition with short-term mortality of up to 80%. The diagnosis of AMI has remained troublesome due to the non-specific clinical presentation, symptoms and laboratory findings. Early unambiguous diagnosis of AMI is critical to prevent progression from reversible to irreversible transmural intestinal damage, thereby decreasing morbidity and improving survival. The present study aims to validate a panel of plasma biomarkers and i...
