A quantitative assessment of perfusion of the gastric conduit after oesophagectomy using near-infrared fluorescence with indocyanine green.
Galema HA, Faber RA, Tange FP, Hilling DE, van der Vorst JR, Upper-GI ICG quantification study group
Introduction: Anastomotic leakage is a severe complication after oesophageal resection with gastric conduit reconstruction. Poor perfusion of the gastric conduit plays an important role in the development of anastomotic leakage. Quantitative near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green (ICG-FA) is an objective technique that can be used for perfusion assessment. This study aims to assess perfusion patterns of the gastric conduit with quantitative ICG-FA. Methods: In this e...

Tjong FVY, Breeman KTN, Boersma LVA, Yap SC, van Erven L, van der Stoel MD, van Dijk VF, Maass AH, Knops RE, NL-EVDR Working Group and NHR Device Registration Committee
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy is an essential element in treating cardiac arrhythmias. Despite their benefits, conventional transvenous CIEDs are associated with a significant risk of mainly pocket- and lead-related complications. To overcome these complications, extravascular devices (EVDs), such as the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and intracardiac leadless pacemaker, have been developed. In the near future, several other innovative EVDs will become...

Release of Ammunition-Related Compounds from a Dutch Marine Dump Site.
den Otter JH, Pröfrock D, Bünning TH, Strehse JS, van der Heijden AEDM, Maser E
After World War II, large amounts of ammunition were dumped in surface waters worldwide, potentially releasing harmful and toxic compounds to the environment. To study their degradation, ammunition items dumped in the Eastern Scheldt in The Netherlands were surfaced. Severe damage due to corrosion and leak paths through the casings were observed, making the explosives in the ammunition accessible to sea water. Using novel techniques, the concentrations of ammunition-related compounds in the surr...

Unipolar voltage mapping in right ventricular cardiomyopathy: pitfalls, solutions and advantages.
Hoogendoorn JC, Venlet J, de Riva M, Wijnmaalen AP, Piers SRD, Zeppenfeld K, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: Endocardial unipolar and bipolar voltage mapping (UVM/BVM) of the right ventricle (RV) are used for transmural substrate delineation. However, far-field electrograms (EGMs) and EGM changes due to injury current may influence automatically generated UVM. Epicardial BVM is considered less accurate due to the impact of fat thickness (FT). Data on epicardial UVM are sparse. The aim of the study is two-fold: to assess the influence of the manually corrected window-of-interest on UVM and the pot...

Factors influencing post-surgical survival in degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Butcher SC, Essayagh B, Steyerberg EW, Benfari G, Antoine C, Grigioni F, Le Tourneau T, Roussel JC, van Wijngaarden A, Marsan NA, Tribouilloy C, Rusinaru D, Hochstadt A, Topilsky Y, Michelena HI, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Enriquez-Sarano M
Aims: Indications for surgery in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) are increasingly liberal in all clinical guidelines but the role of secondary outcome determinants (left atrial volume index ≥60 mL/m2, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary artery systolic pressure ≥50 mmHg and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation) and their impact on post-operative outcome remain disputed. Whether these secondary outcome markers are just reflective of the DMR severity or intrinsically affect...

Extended parental provisioning and variation in vertebrate brain sizes.
van Schaik CP, Song Z, Schuppli C, Drobniak SM, Heldstab SA, Griesser M
Large brains provide adaptive cognitive benefits but require unusually high, near-constant energy inputs and become fully functional well after their growth is completed. Consequently, young of most larger-brained endotherms should not be able to independently support the growth and development of their own brains. This paradox is solved if the evolution of extended parental provisioning facilitated brain size evolution. Comparative studies indeed show that extended parental provisioning coevolv...
