Conversion to below-elbow cast after 3 weeks is safe for diaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures in children.
Colaris JW, Allema JH, Biter LU, Reijman M, van de Ven CP, de Vries MR, Bloem RM, Kerver AJ, Verhaar JA
Background: It is unclear whether it is safe to convert above-elbow cast (AEC) to below-elbow cast (BEC) in a child who has sustained a displaced diaphyseal both-bone forearm fracture that is stable after reduction. In this multicenter study, we wanted to answer the question: does early conversion to BEC cause similar forearm rotation to that after treatment with AEC alone? Children and methods: Children were randomly allocated to 6 weeks of AEC, or 3 weeks of AEC followed by 3 weeks of BEC. The...

Increased cytokine response after toll-like receptor stimulation in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Elsenberg EH, Sels JE, Hillaert MA, Schoneveld AH, van den Dungen NA, van Holten TC, Roest M, Jukema JW, van Zonneveld AJ, de Groot PG, Pijls N, Pasterkamp G, Hoefer IE
Objective: Atherosclerosis is associated with increased levels of plasma cytokines and expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Yet, little is known about the potential use of TLR ligand induced cytokine release as a biomarker of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we investigated whether TLR ligand induced cytokine release is associated with atherosclerotic disease severity and its predictive value for future cardiovascular events. Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 260 patien...

An unexpected intriguing effect of Toll-like receptor regulator RP105 (CD180) on atherosclerosis formation with alterations on B-cell activation.
Karper JC, de Jager SC, Ewing MM, de Vries MR, Bot I, van Santbrink PJ, Redeker A, Mallat Z, Binder CJ, Arens R, Jukema JW, Kuiper J, Quax PH
Objective: In atherosclerosis, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are traditionally linked to effects on tissue macrophages or foam cells. RP105, a structural TLR4 homolog, is an important regulator of TLR signaling. The effects of RP105 on TLR signaling vary for different leukocyte subsets known to be involved in atherosclerosis, making it unique in its role of either suppressing (in myeloid cells) or enhancing (in B cells) TLR-regulated inflammation in different cell types. We aimed to identify a role...

Intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging of parathyroid adenomas with use of low-dose methylene blue.
van der Vorst JR, Schaafsma BE, Verbeek FP, Swijnenburg RJ, Tummers QR, Hutteman M, Hamming JF, Kievit J, Frangioni JV, van de Velde CJ, Vahrmeijer AL
Background: Intraoperative identification of parathyroid adenomas can be challenging. We hypothesized that low-doses methylene blue (MB) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging could be used to identify parathyroid adenomas intraoperatively. Methods: MB was injected intravenously after exploration at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg into 12 patients who underwent parathyroid surgery. NIRF imaging was performed using the Mini-FLARE imaging system. Results: In 10 of 12 patients, histology confirmed a par...

Echocardiographical determinants of an abnormal spatial QRS-T angle in chronic dialysis patients.
de Bie MK, Ajmone Marsan N, Gaasbeek A, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Rabelink TJ, Schalij MJ, Jukema JW
Background: The spatial QRS-T angle describes the relation between ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Having a wide (abnormal) angle is considered an important predictor of arrhythmic events. Given the high incidence of sudden cardiac death in dialysis patients, this parameter is of particular interest in this patient group. The objective of this study was to assess the association of (modifiable) echocardiographic parameters and an abnormal spatial QRS-T angle in dialysis patients....

Long term effects of epoetin alfa in patients with ST- elevation myocardial infarction.
Fokkema ML, Kleijn L, van der Meer P, Belonje AM, Achterhof SK, Hillege HL, van 't Hof A, Jukema JW, Peels HO, Henriques JP, ten Berg JM, Vos J, van Gilst WH, van Veldhuisen DJ, Voors AA
Purpose: The HEBE III trial showed that epoetin alfa administration in patients with a first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) did not improve left ventricular function at 6 weeks after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The long term effects of erythropoiesis- stimulating agents on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are unknown, therefore we evaluated clinical events at 1 year after PCI. Methods: A total of 529 patients with a first STEMI and successful primary PCI w...

Fritz H, Abdelsalam M, Ali KA, Bingen B, Collins AS, Fowler AR, Ghebreab W, Hauzenberger CA, Johnson PR, Kusky TM, Macey P, Muhongo S, Stern RJ, Viola G
The East African Orogen, extending from southern Israel, Sinai and Jordan in the north to Mozambique and Madagascar in the south, is the world́s largest Neoproterozoic to Cambrian orogenic complex. It comprises a collage of individual oceanic domains and continental fragments between the Archean Sahara-Congo-Kalahari Cratons in the west and Neoproterozoic India in the east. Orogen consolidation was achieved during distinct phases of orogeny between ∼850 and 550 Ma. The northern part of the oroge...

Determinants of virulence of influenza A virus.
Schrauwen EJ, de Graaf M, Herfst S, Rimmelzwaan GF, Osterhaus AD, Fouchier RA
Influenza A viruses cause yearly seasonal epidemics and occasional global pandemics in humans. In the last century, four human influenza A virus pandemics have occurred. Occasionally, influenza A viruses that circulate in other species cross the species barrier and infect humans. Virus reassortment (i.e. mixing of gene segments of multiple viruses) and the accumulation of mutations contribute to the emergence of new influenza A virus variants. Fortunately, most of these variants do not have the...

Primary closure using Redon drains for the treatment of post-sternotomy mediastinitis.
Vos RJ, van Putte BP, Sonker U, Kloppenburg GT
Objectives: Post-sternotomy mediastinitis is a severe complication of open heart surgery resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality. Vacuum-assisted closure is commonly used as treatment for post-sternotomy mediastinitis, but has some disadvantages. Primary closure over high vacuum suction Redon drains previously has shown to be an alternative approach with promising results. We report our short- and long-term results of Redon therapy-treated mediastinitis. Methods: We performe...
