Feature-tracking computed tomography left atrial strain and long-term survival after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Hirasawa K, Singh GK, Kuneman JH, Gegenava T, van der Kley F, Hautemann D, Reiber JHC, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Aortic stenosis (AS) induces left atrial (LA) remodelling through the increase of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. Peak LA longitudinal strain (PALS), reflecting LA reservoir function, has been proposed as a prognostic marker in patients with AS. Feature-tracking (FT) multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) allows assessment of LA strain from MDCT data. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PALS using FT MDCT and survival in patients with severe AS who u...

Butcher SC, Vos JL, Fortuni F, Galloo X, Liem SIE, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Vonk MC, van Leuven SI, Snoeren M, El Messaoudi S, de Vries-Bouwstra JK, Nijveldt R, Ajmone Marsan N
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether lower values of feature-tracking cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived left atrial reservoir strain (LARS) and impaired left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) were associated with the presence of symptoms and long-term prognosis in patients with SSc. Methods: A total of 100 patients {54 [interquartile range (IQR) 46-64] years, 42% male} with SSc who underwent CMR imaging at two tertiary referral centres were included. All...

Setting your clock: associations between timing of objective physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk in the general population.
Albalak G, Stijntjes M, van Bodegom D, Jukema JW, Atsma DE, van Heemst D, Noordam R
Aims: Little is known about the impact of daily physical activity timing (here referred to as 'chronoactivity') on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We aimed to examined the associations between chronoactivity and multiple CVD outcomes in the UK Biobank. Methods and results: physical activity data were collected in the UK-Biobank through triaxial accelerometer over a 7-day measurement period. We used K-means clustering to create clusters of participants with similar chronoactivity irr...

The root-knot nematode effector MiMSP32 targets host 12-oxophytodienoate reductase 2 to regulate plant susceptibility.
Verhoeven A, Finkers-Tomczak A, Prins P, Valkenburg-van Raaij DR, van Schaik CC, Overmars H, van Steenbrugge JJM, Tacken W, Varossieau K, Slootweg EJ, Kappers IF, Quentin M, Goverse A, Sterken MG, Smant G
To establish persistent infections in host plants, herbivorous invaders, such as root-knot nematodes, must rely on effectors for suppressing damage-induced jasmonate-dependent host defenses. However, at present, the effector mechanisms targeting the biosynthesis of biologically active jasmonates to avoid adverse host responses are unknown. Using yeast two-hybrid, in planta co-immunoprecipitation, and mutant analyses, we identified 12-oxophytodienoate reductase 2 (OPR2) as an important host targe...

Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia disorder in depressed patients treated at an outpatient clinic for mood disorders: protocol of a randomised controlled trial.
Schotanus AY, Dozeman E, Ikelaar SLC, van Straten A, Beekman ATF, van Nassau F, Bosmans JE, van Schaik A
Background: Major depression is a highly prevalent disorder causing severe personal distress, and high societal costs. Patients with depression often have comorbid insomnia disorder (ID) leading to even worse personal distress and worse treatment outcomes. Recent results from a non-randomised pilot study with internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBTi) for Insomnia (I-Sleep) added to regular depression care were promising regarding feasibility and initial effects on insomnia complain...

Quantitative perfusion assessment using indocyanine green during surgery - current applications and recommendations for future use.
Van Den Hoven P, Osterkamp J, Nerup N, Svendsen MBS, Vahrmeijer A, Van Der Vorst JR, Achiam MP
Purpose: Incorrect assessment of tissue perfusion carries a significant risk of complications in surgery. The use of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG) presents a possible solution. However, only through quantification of the fluorescence signal can an objective and reproducible evaluation of tissue perfusion be obtained. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the available quantification methods for perfusion assessment using ICG NIR fluorescence...

Background and hypothesis: The recently introduced Bayesian quantile regression (BQR) machine-learning method enables comprehensive analyzing the relationship among complex clinical variables. We analyzed the relationship between multiple cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and different stages of coronary artery disease (CAD) using the BQR model in a vessel-specific manner. Methods: From the data of 1,463 patients obtained from the PARADIGM (NCT02803411) registry, we analyzed the lumen diameter st...

Furosemide rescues hypercalciuria in familial hypomagnesaemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis model.
Kriuchkova N, Breiderhoff T, Müller D, Yilmaz DE, Demirci H, Drewell H, Günzel D, Himmerkus N, Bleich M, Persson PB, Mutig K
Aim: Perturbed calcium homeostasis limits life expectancy in familial hypomagnesaemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC). This rare disease occurs by loss-of-function mutations in CLDN16 or CLDN19 genes, causing impaired paracellular reabsorption of divalent cations along the cortical thick ascending limb (cTAL). Only partial compensation takes place in the ensuing late distal convoluted tubule, connecting tubule, and collecting duct, where the luminal transient receptor potential...

Antibiotic prescription patterns and non-clinical factors influencing antibiotic use by Ecuadorian veterinarians working on cattle and poultry farms: A cross-sectional study.
Martínez EP, Golding SE, van Rosmalen J, Vinueza-Burgos C, Verbon A, van Schaik G
Understanding antibiotic prescription patterns and non-clinical factors influencing antibiotic use is essential for implementing strategies to promote appropriate antibiotic use. There is, however, limited research exploring these issues with Ecuadorian veterinarians. Therefore, a questionnaire was developed and applied cross-sectionally to veterinarians (n = 173) from two professional organizations to explore the antibiotic prescription patterns and non-clinical factors (e.g., attitudes and per...

Mepolizumab improvements in health-related quality of life and disease symptoms in a patient population with very severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps: psychometric and efficacy analyses from the SYNAPSE study.
Fokkens W, Trigg A, Lee SE, Chan RH, Diamant Z, Hopkins C, Howarth P, Lund V, Mayer B, Sousa AR, Yancey S, Tabberer M, SYNAPSE study group
Background: Although the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures (e.g. the 22-item Sino-nasal Outcomes Test [SNOT-22]) in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) have been defined, these definitions have not been extensively studied in patients with very severe CRSwNP, as defined by recurrent disease despite ≥ 1 previous surgery and a current need for further surgery. Therefore, the psychometric properties of the symptoms visual analogue scales (VAS) were evaluated...

Background: Ta grade 3 (G3) non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a relatively rare diagnosis with an ambiguous character owing to the presence of an aggressive G3 component together with the lower malignant potential of the Ta component. The European Association of Urology (EAU) NMIBC guidelines recently changed the risk stratification for Ta G3 from high risk to intermediate, high, or very high risk. However, prognostic studies on Ta G3 carcinomas are limited and inconclusive. Objectiv...

Volume-Weighted Unipolar Voltage Predicts Heart Failure Mortality in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Ventricular Arrhythmias.
Kimura Y, Beukers HKC, Rademaker R, Chen HS, Ebert M, Jensen T, Piers SR, Wijnmaalen AP, de Riva M, Dekkers OM, Stevenson WG, Zeppenfeld K
Background: Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who are undergoing catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are at risk of rapidly progressive heart failure (HF). Endocardial voltages decrease with loss of viable myocardium. Global left ventricular (LV) voltage as a surrogate for the amount of remaining viable myocardium may predict prognosis. Objectives: This study evaluated whether the newly proposed parameter volume-weighted (vw) unipolar voltage (UV) can predict HF-related a...
