Exploring the choroidal vascular labyrinth and its molecular and structural roles in health and disease.
Brinks J, van Dijk EHC, Klaassen I, Schlingemann RO, Kielbasa SM, Emri E, Quax PHA, Bergen AA, Meijer OC, Boon CJF
The choroid is a key player in maintaining ocular homeostasis and plays a role in a variety of chorioretinal diseases, many of which are poorly understood. Recent advances in the field of single-cell RNA sequencing have yielded valuable insights into the properties of choroidal endothelial cells (CECs). Here, we review the role of the choroid in various physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms, focusing on the role of CECs. We also discuss new insights regarding the phenotypic properties...

Predictive Added Value of Selected Plasma Lipids to a Re-estimated Minimal Risk Tool.
Bodini A, Michelucci E, Di Giorgi N, Caselli C, Signore G, Neglia D, Smit JM, Scholte AJHA, Mincarone P, Leo CG, Pelosi G, Rocchiccioli S
Background: Lipidomics is emerging for biomarker discovery in cardiovascular disease, and circulating lipids are increasingly incorporated in risk models to predict cardiovascular events. Moreover, specific classes of lipids, such as sphingomyelins, ceramides, and triglycerides, have been related to coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and plaque characteristics. To avoid unnecessary testing, it is important to identify individuals at low CAD risk. The only pretest model available so far to ru...

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...

Ruptured Aneurysm of the Common Iliac Artery Caused by <i>Brucella melitensis</i>: A Case Report.
Willems SA, Buntinx M, Gelinck LBS, van Schaik J, Eefting D
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. This case report describes a ruptured aneurysm of the common iliac artery (CIA) due to secondary infection by Brucella melitensis. Report: A 79 year old man with a known isolated aneurys...

Effects of fatty acids on T cell function: role in atherosclerosis.
Reilly NA, Lutgens E, Kuiper J, Heijmans BT, Jukema JW
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...

Kinetic and Microhydrodynamic Modeling of Fenofibrate Nanosuspension Production in a Wet Stirred Media Mill.
Guner G, Yilmaz D, Bilgili E
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...

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...

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...

Unraveling heterogeneity in pediatric atopic dermatitis: Identification of serum biomarker based patient clusters.
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 (...

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...

The natural history of primary progressive aphasia: beyond aphasia.
Ulugut H, Stek S, Wagemans LEE, Jutten RJ, Keulen MA, Bouwman FH, Prins ND, Lemstra AW, Krudop W, Teunissen CE, van Berckel BNM, Ossenkoppele R, Barkhof F, van der Flier WM, Scheltens P, Pijnenburg YAL
Introduction: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is divided into three prototypical subtypes that are all characterized by their single core symptom of aphasia. Although later in their course, other cognitive, behavioral, and motor domains may become involved, little is known about the progression profile of each subtype relative to the other subtypes. Methods: In this longitudinal retrospective cohort study, based on the recent biomarker-supported diagnostic criteria, 24 subjects diagnosed with...

Aims: The aim of this study was to develop, validate, and illustrate an updated prediction model (SCORE2) to estimate 10-year fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals without previous CVD or diabetes aged 40-69 years in Europe. Methods and results: We derived risk prediction models using individual-participant data from 45 cohorts in 13 countries (677 684 individuals, 30 121 CVD events). We used sex-specific and competing risk-adjusted models, including age, smoking s...
