Heart Failure Impacts Endothelial Cell Responses to Cardiac Surgery on Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
Papazisi O, Postma RJ, Dirven RJ, Beeres SLMA, Berendsen RR, Arbous SM, Klautz RJM, van Vessem ME, Bijkerk R, Lindeman JHN, Palmen M, van Zonneveld AJ
Patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are at an increased risk of developing postoperative hemodynamic instability and vasoplegia after surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Potentially pre-existing endothelial cell (EC) alterations due to chronic HF influence EC responses to cardiac surgery and might be responsible for the altered vascular responsiveness observed postoperatively. In this study, well-described EC activation markers were measured in blood samples...

Background and aims: Type 1 short QT syndrome (SQT1) is a genetic channelopathy caused by gain-of-function variants in KCNH2. This shortens cardiac repolarization and QT intervals, predisposing patients to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of KCNH2-specific suppression-and-replacement (KCNH2-SupRep) gene therapy in a transgenic rabbit model of SQT1. Methods: KCNH2-SupRep was developed by combining a KCNH2-shRNA with its cor...

Perspectives of adults aged 55+ on plant-based diets rich in protein.
van Oppenraaij SL, Putker M, van Schaik A, Weijs PJM, Verlaan S
An increased protein intake is required during aging to preserve muscle mass. A predominantly plant-based diet is beneficial for the climate and may lower the risk of certain non-communicable diseases, but could also lead to protein below recommendations. This study seeks to elucidate facilitators and barriers in adults aged 55+ adopting a diet that is both predominantly plant-based and provides sufficient protein to preserve muscle mass. Three focus groups were conducted with 30 Dutch adults, a...

Cost-Utility Analysis of Treatment Sequences for Moderate-to-Severe Crohn's Disease.
Versteegh MM, Huygens SA, Bermejo I, Grimm S, Pierik M, Römkens T, van Schaik F, Wahab P
Objectives: The clinical pathway for patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease (CD) typically includes sequential pharmacologic treatment as well as surgery, but positioning of different therapies within these sequences remains challenging. Cost-utility analysis rarely captures these sequences and does not incorporate registry data on long-term effectiveness. In this study, we aim to overcome these limitations. Methods: We developed an individual state transition model with four heal...

Interaction of CYP2C19 with the effect of clopidogrel in secondary prevention of major ischemic events: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Kremers F, van den Biggelaar J, Lingsma HF, van Schaik R, Roozenbeek B, Dippel D
Background and aims: Clopidogrel may be a less effective antiplatelet agent for secondary prevention after cardiovascular events in carriers of the CYP2C19 Loss of Function (LoF) allele. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of clopidogrel in patients with known CYP2C19 carrier status have provided inconsistent results. This meta-analysis aims to pool evidence on the effect of different antiplatelet strategies on outcomes according to CYP2C19 LoF status. Methods: We conducted a systematic review a...

Final clinical analysis of pre-operative ipilimumab and nivolumab in locally advanced urothelial cancer and exploration of tumor-draining lymph node composition: The NABUCCO trial.
Stockem CF, van Dorp J, van Dijk N, Vis DJ, Harkes R, van den Broek B, Alkemade M, Broeks A, Hendricksen K, Boellaard TN, de Feijter JM, van Montfoort ML, Daletzakis A, van der Heijden AG, Meijer RP, Mehra N, Wessels LFA, van Rhijn BWG, Suelmann BBM, van der Heijden MS
Background: Pre-operative immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with ipilimumab and nivolumab has shown encouraging pathological complete response (pCR) rates in stage III urothelial cancer (UC). A previous analysis of NABUCCO suggested that ipilimumab 3 mg/kg is more effective than ipilimumab 1 mg/kg. However, long-term progression-free and overall survival (PFS, OS) following pre-operative combination ICB are unknown. Methods: In NABUCCO, 54 patients received pre-operative ipilimumab plus nivolumab...
