Viral metagenomics in drug-naïve, first-onset schizophrenia patients with prominent negative symptoms.
Canuti M, van Beveren NJ, Jazaeri Farsani SM, de Vries M, Deijs M, Jebbink MF, Zaaijer HL, van Schaik BD, van Kampen AH, van der Kuyl AC, de Haan L, Storosum JG, van der Hoek L
Although several studies suggest a virus or (endogenous) retrovirus involvement at the time of onset of schizophrenia, the unequivocal identification of one or more infectious agents, by means of an undirected catch-all technique, has never been conducted. In this study VIDISCA, a virus discovery method, was used in combination with Roche-454 high-throughput sequencing as a tool to determine the possible presence of viruses (known or unknown) in blood of first-onset drugs-naïve schizophrenic pat...

Comparison of Changes in Global Longitudinal Peak Systolic Strain After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Versus Without Diabetes Mellitus.
Hoogslag GE, Abou R, Joyce E, Boden H, Kamperidis V, Regeer MV, van Rosendael PJ, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Marsan NA, Delgado V
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) measured by 2-dimensional longitudinal speckle-tracking echocardiography may be a more sensitive measure of left ventricular (LV) mechanics than conventional LV ejection fraction (EF) to characterize adverse post-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remodeling. The aim of the present evaluation was to compare changes in LV GLS in patients with versus without diabetes after the first STEMI. Patients with first STEMI and diabetes (n = 143; age 64 ± 12...

Multicentre randomized clinical trial to investigate the cost-effectiveness of an allogeneic single-donor fibrin sealant after coronary artery bypass grafting (FIBER Study).
Tavilla G, Bruggemans EF, Gielen CL, Brand A, van den Hout WB, Klautz RJ, van Hilten JA
Background: Reduction of blood transfusion in cardiac surgery is an important target. The aim of this study was to investigate the cost-effectiveness of the use of CryoSeal®, an allogeneic single-donor fibrin sealant, in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: This randomized clinical study involved seven cardiac surgery centres in the Netherlands. Patients undergoing elective isolated CABG with the use of at least one internal thoracic artery (ITA) graft were assign...

Objectives: To investigate, using a Mendelian randomisation approach, whether heavier smoking is associated with a range of regional adiposity phenotypes, in particular those related to abdominal adiposity. Design: Mendelian randomisation meta-analyses using a genetic variant (rs16969968/rs1051730 in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene region) as a proxy for smoking heaviness, of the associations of smoking heaviness with a range of adiposity phenotypes. Participants: 148,731 current, former and never...

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether changes in brain microstructure, detected by magnetization transfer imaging, are associated with cognition in older subjects at increased risk for vascular disease. Methods: One hundred ninety three nondemented subjects (105 men, mean age 77 ± 3 years) from the Prospective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk were included. To assess cross-sectional associations between magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) peak height and cogni...

Stopping antiplatelet medication before coronary artery bypass graft surgery: is there an optimal timing to minimize bleeding?
Gielen CL, Bruggemans EF, Stijnen T, Eikenboom J, Tavilla G, Brand A, Klautz RJ
Objectives: As the indication for antiplatelet medication expands, patients may be exposed to an increased risk of excessive blood loss when cardiac surgery is required. The optimal timing to stop acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or ASA combined with clopidogrel (ASA+Clo) before surgery is the subject of controversy. Methods: A total of 1065 patients were selected from a prospective randomized study on the effect of a fibrin sealant application in coronary artery bypass graft surgery [Fibrin sealant I...

Optimisations and Challenges Involved in the Creation of Various Bioluminescent and Fluorescent Influenza A Virus Strains for In Vitro and In Vivo Applications.
Spronken MI, Short KR, Herfst S, Bestebroer TM, Vaes VP, van der Hoeven B, Koster AJ, Kremers GJ, Scott DP, Gultyaev AP, Sorell EM, de Graaf M, Bárcena M, Rimmelzwaan GF, Fouchier RA
Bioluminescent and fluorescent influenza A viruses offer new opportunities to study influenza virus replication, tropism and pathogenesis. To date, several influenza A reporter viruses have been described. These strategies typically focused on a single reporter gene (either bioluminescent or fluorescent) in a single virus backbone. However, whilst bioluminescence is suited to in vivo imaging, fluorescent viruses are more appropriate for microscopy. Therefore, the idea l reporter virus varies dep...

Ticagrelor or prasugrel versus clopidogrel in elderly patients with an acute coronary syndrome: Optimization of antiplatelet treatment in patients 70 years and older--rationale and design of the POPular AGE study.
Qaderdan K, Ishak M, Heestermans AA, de Vrey E, Jukema JW, Voskuil M, de Boer MJ, van't Hof AW, Groenemeijer BE, Vos GJ, Janssen PW, Bergmeijer TO, Kelder JC, Deneer VH, ten Berg JM
Rationale: Dual antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid in combination with a more potent P2Y12- inhibitor (ticagrelor or prasugrel) is recommended in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation (NSTE-ACS) to prevent atherothrombotic complications. The evidence on which this recommendation is based shows that ticagrelor and prasugrel reduce atherothrombotic events at the expense of an increase in bleeding events when compared with clopidogrel. However, it remains un...

Serum Cardiac Troponin-I is Superior to Troponin-T as a Marker for Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Clinically Stable Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease.
Buiten MS, de Bie MK, Rotmans JI, Dekker FW, van Buren M, Rabelink TJ, Cobbaert CM, Schalij MJ, van der Laarse A, Jukema JW
Background: Serum troponin assays, widely used to detect acute cardiac ischemia, might be useful biomarkers to detect chronic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiac-specific troponin-I (cTnI) and troponin-T (cTnT) generally detect myocardial necrosis equally well. In dialysis patients however, serum cTnT levels are often elevated, unlike cTnI levels. The present study aims to elucidate the associations of cTnI and cTnT with CVD in clinically stable dialysis patients. Methods: Troponin levels were...

Repeated Intramyocardial Bone Marrow Cell Injection in Previously Responding Patients With Refractory Angina Again Improves Myocardial Perfusion, Anginal Complaints, and Quality of Life.
Mann I, Rodrigo SF, van Ramshorst J, Beeres SL, Dibbets-Schneider P, de Roos A, Wolterbeek R, Zwaginga JJ, Fibbe WE, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ, Atsma DE
Background: Intramyocardial bone marrow cell injection is associated with improvements in myocardial perfusion and anginal symptoms in patients with refractory angina pectoris. This study evaluates the effect of repeated intramyocardial bone marrow cell injection in patients with residual or recurrent myocardial ischemia. Methods and results: Twenty-three patients (17 men; 69±9 years) who had improved myocardial perfusion after the first injection but had residual or recurrent angina and ischemi...

Continuous Postoperative Pericardial Flushing: A Pilot Study on Safety, Feasibility, and Effect on Blood Loss.
Manshanden JS, Gielen CL, de Borgie CA, Klautz RJ, de Mol BA, Koolbergen DR
Background: Prolonged or excessive blood loss is a common complication after cardiac surgery. Blood remnants and clots, remaining in the pericardial space in spite of chest tube drainage, induce high fibrinolytic activity that may contribute to bleeding complications. Continuous postoperative pericardial flushing (CPPF) with an irrigation solution may reduce blood loss by preventing the accumulation of clots. In this pilot study, the safety and feasibility of CPPF were evaluated and the effect o...

Reported Outcome After Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement for Aortic Root Aneurysm: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Arabkhani B, Mookhoek A, Di Centa I, Lansac E, Bekkers JA, De Lind Van Wijngaarden R, Bogers AJ, Takkenberg JJ
Valve-sparing aortic root techniques have progressively gained ground in the treatment of aortic root aneurysm and aortic insufficiency. By avoiding anticoagulation therapy they offer a good alternative to composite graft replacement. This systematic review describes the reported outcome of valve-sparing aortic root replacement, focusing on the remodeling and reimplantation technique. A systematic literature search on the characteristics of and outcomes after valve-sparing aortic root replacemen...
