Global change biology, Volume 29, Issue 17, 20 3 2023, Pages 4939-4948 Heat over heritability: Increasing body size in response to global warming is not stabilized by genetic effects in Bechstein's bats. Mundinger C, van Schaik J, Scheuerlein A, Kerth G
How well populations can cope with global warming will often depend on the evolutionary potential and plasticity of their temperature-sensitive, fitness-relevant traits. In Bechstein's bats (Myotis bechsteinii), body size has increased over the last decades in response to warmer summers. If this trend continues it may threaten populations as larger females exhibit higher mortality. To assess the evolutionary potential of body size, we applied a Bayesian 'animal model' to estimate...

BMC ophthalmology, Volume 23, Issue 1, 16 3 2023, Pages 279 Effect of alirocumab on cataracts in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Suc G, Schwartz GG, Goodman SG, Jukema JW, Manvelian G, Poulouin Y, Pordy R, Scemama M, Szarek M, Steg PG, ODYSSEY OUTCOMES Investigators
Background: Some data suggest that low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with risk of cataracts. Proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors reduce LDL-C below levels achieved with statins alone. We determined whether the incidence of cataracts was influenced by treatment with the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab versus placebo, and whether that incidence was affected by achieved LDL-C levels. Methods: The ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial (NCT01663402) com... Abstract

Frontiers in medicine, Volume 10, 16 3 2023, Pages 1112573 Endoglin and squamous cell carcinomas. Hakuno SK, Janson SGT, Trietsch MD, de Graaf M, de Jonge-Muller E, Crobach S, Harryvan TJ, Boonstra JJ, Dinjens WNM, Slingerland M, Hawinkels LJAC
Despite the fact that the role of endoglin on endothelial cells has been extensively described, its expression and biological role on (epithelial) cancer cells is still debatable. Especially its function on squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells is largely unknown. Therefore, we investigated SCC endoglin expression and function in three types of SCCs; head and neck (HNSCC), esophageal (ESCC) and vulvar (VSCC) cancers. Endoglin expression was evaluated in tumor specimens and 14 patient-derived cell... Abstract

A global survey of coral reefs reveals that overfishing is driving resident shark species toward extinction, causing diversity deficits in reef elasmobranch (shark and ray) assemblages. Our species-level analysis revealed global declines of 60 to 73% for five common resident reef shark species and that individual shark species were not detected at 34 to 47% of surveyed reefs. As reefs become more shark-depleted, rays begin to dominate assemblages. Shark-dominated assemblages persist in wealthy n... Abstract

Journal of electrocardiology, Volume 80, 13 2 2023, Pages 133-138 Prolongation of the QTc interval is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases: The Hoorn study. Welten SJGC, van der Heijden AA, Remmelzwaal S, Blom MT, Nijpels G, Rutters F, Beulens JWJ, Elders PJM, ESCAPE-NET investigators
Background/objective: Prolonged heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) is maybe associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but the evidence is inconsistent. Therefore, we investigated whether baseline prolongation of the QTc interval is associated with CVD morbidity and mortality and its subtypes and whether glucose tolerance modifies this association in a population-based cohort study with a mean follow-up of 10.8 years. Methods: We analyzed... Abstract

Clinical pharmacokinetics, Volume 62, Issue 8, 13 2 2023, Pages 1129-1139 CYP3A4*22 Genotype-Guided Dosing of Kinase Inhibitors in Cancer Patients. van Eerden RAG, IJzerman NS, van Meekeren M, Oomen-de Hoop E, Guchelaar NAD, Visser AMW, Matic M, van Schaik RHN, de Bruijn P, Moes DAR, Jobse PA, Gelderblom H, Huitema ADR, Steeghs N, Mathijssen RHJ, Koolen SLW, Dutch Pharmacology Oncology Group
Introduction: A genetic variant explaining a part of the exposure of many kinase inhibitors (KIs) is the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) CYP3A4*22, resulting in less CYP3A4 enzyme activity. The primary aim of this study was to investigate if the systemic exposure is non-inferior after a dose reduction of KIs metabolized by CYP3A4 in CYP3A4*22 carriers compared to patients without this SNP (i.e., wildtype patients) receiving the standard dose. Methods: In this multicenter, prospective, non-i... Abstract

BMJ open, Volume 13, Issue 6, 8 2 2023, Pages e071822 Ruling out acute coronary syndrome in primary care with a clinical decision rule and a capillary, high-sensitive troponin I point of care test: study protocol of a diagnostic RCT in the Netherlands (POB HELP). van den Bulk S, Petrus AHJ, Willemsen RTA, Boogers MJ, Meeder JG, Rahel BM, van den Akker-van Marle ME, Numans ME, Dinant GJ, Bonten TN
Introduction: Chest pain is a common reason for consultation in primary care. To rule out acute coronary syndrome (ACS), general practitioners (GP) refer 40%-70% of patients with chest pain to the emergency department (ED). Only 10%-20% of those referred, are diagnosed with ACS. A clinical decision rule, including a high-sensitive cardiac troponin-I point-of-care test (hs-cTnI-POCT), may safely rule out ACS in primary care. Being able to safely rule out ACS at the GP level reduces referrals and... Abstract

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, Issue 196, 2 1 2023 Using a Combination of Indirect Calorimetry, Infrared Thermography, and Blood Glucose Levels to Measure Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis in Humans. Van Schaik L, Kettle C, Green RA, Irving HR, Rathner JA
In mammals, brown adipose tissue (BAT) is activated rapidly in response to cold in order to maintain body temperature. Although BAT has been studied greatly in small animals, it is difficult to measure the activity of BAT in humans. Therefore, little is known about the heat-generating capacity and physiological significance of BAT in humans, including the degree to which components of the diet can activate BAT. This is due to the limitations in the currently most used method to assess the activa... Abstract
