Right ventricular myocardial work: proof-of-concept for non-invasive assessment of right ventricular function.
Butcher SC, Fortuni F, Montero-Cabezas JM, Abou R, El Mahdiui M, van der Bijl P, van der Velde ET, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Right ventricular myocardial work (RVMW) is a novel method for non-invasive assessment of right ventricular (RV) function utilizing RV pressure-strain loops. This study aimed to explore the relationship between RVMW and invasive indices of right heart catheterization (RHC) in a cohort of patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF), and to compare values of RVMW with those of a group of patients without cardiovascular disease. Methods and results: Non...

The relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and uric acid levels in multiple sclerosis patients.
Bolayir A, Cigdem B, Gokce SF, Yilmaz D
Background: In this study, we aimed to determine whether neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), obtained by dividing the number of neutrophils by the number of lymphocytes, and uric acid (UA) levels in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients vary compared with healthy controls and to establish correlations among these changes themselves as well as between such changes and MS subtypes, immunomodulatory drug use, the duration of the disease and prognosis. Methods: 150 patients who presented to our hospital...

Detection of Norovirus Variant GII.4 Hong Kong in Asia and Europe, 2017-2019.

We report a new norovirus GII.4 variant, GII.4 Hong Kong, with low-level circulation in 4 Eurasia countries since mid-2017. Amino acid substitutions in key residues on the virus capsid associated with the emergence of pandemic noroviruses suggest that GII.4 Hong Kong has the potential to become the next pandemic variant.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Risk of Atrial Arrhythmias After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
Goedemans L, Abou R, Montero-Cabezas JM, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, J Bax J
Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and cardiac arrhythmias frequently occur in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, little is known about the association of COPD with the occurrence of atrial arrhythmias after STEMI. Methods: This retrospective analysis consisted of 320 patients with first STEMI without a history of atrial arrhythmias, with available 24-hour holter-ECG at 3- and/or 6 months follow-up. In total, 80 COPD patients were com...

The cost of associating with males for Bornean and Sumatran female orangutans: a hidden form of sexual conflict?
Kunz JA, Duvot GJ, van Noordwijk MA, Willems EP, Townsend M, Mardianah N, Utami Atmoko SS, Vogel ER, Nugraha TP, Heistermann M, Agil M, Weingrill T, van Schaik CP
Abstract: Sexual coercion, in the form of forced copulations, is relatively frequently observed in orangutans and generally attributed to their semi-solitary lifestyle. High ecological costs of association for females may be responsible for this lifestyle and may have prevented the evolution of morphological fertility indicators (e.g., sexual swellings), which would attract (male) associates. Therefore, sexual conflict may arise not only about mating per se but also about associations, because m...

Malignant Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse: A Continuum of Clinical Challenges from Diagnosis to Risk Stratification and Patient Management.
Yedidya I, van Wijngaarden AL, Ajmone Marsan N
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disease, which may remain a benign condition for a long period of time. However, some patients experience malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is still largely unknown how to risk-stratify these patients, and no specific recommendations have been proposed to help the clinical decision-making. We present the case of a young man whose first clinical presentation was an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and was subsequent...

Five-year-olds' facial mimicry following social ostracism is modulated by attachment security.
Vacaru SV, van Schaik JE, de Water E, Hunnius S
Social ostracism triggers an increase in affiliative behaviours. One such behaviour is the rapid copying of others' facial expressions, called facial mimicry. Insofar, it remains unknown how individual differences in intrinsic affiliation motivation regulate responses to social ostracism during early development. We examined children's facial mimicry following ostracism as modulated by individual differences in the affiliation motivation, expressed in their attachment tendencies. Resis...

Isthmin1, a secreted signaling protein, acts downstream of diverse embryonic patterning centers in development.
Kesavan G, Raible F, Gupta M, Machate A, Yilmaz D, Brand M
Extracellular signals play essential roles during embryonic patterning by providing positional information in a concentration-dependent manner, and many such signals, like Wnt, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), Hedgehog (Hh), and retinoic acid, act by being secreted into the extracellular space, thereby triggering receptor-mediated responses in other cells. Isthmin1 (ism1) is a secreted protein whose gene expression pattern coincides with that of early dorsal determinants, nodal ligand genes like...

Nationwide Study to Predict Colonic Ischemia after Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in The Netherlands.
Willemsen SI, Ten Berge MG, Statius van Eps RG, Veger HTC, van Overhagen H, van Dijk LC, Putter H, Wever JJ, Dutch Society of Vascular Surgery, the Steering Committee of the Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit and the Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing
Background: Colonic ischemia remains a severe complication after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair and is associated with a high mortality. With open repair being one of the main risk factors of colonic ischemia, deciding between endovascular or open aneurysm repair should be based on tailor-made medicine. This study aims to identify high-risk patients of colonic ischemia, a risk that can be taken into account while deciding on AAA treatment strategy. Methods: A nationwide population-based...

Circulating tRNA Fragments as a Novel Biomarker Class to Distinguish Acute Stroke Subtypes.
Nguyen TTM, van der Bent ML, Wermer MJH, van den Wijngaard IR, van Zwet EW, de Groot B, Quax PHA, Kruyt ND, Nossent AY
: Early blood biomarkers to diagnose acute stroke could drastically reduce treatment delays. We investigated whether circulating small non-coding RNAs can serve as biomarkers to distinguish between acute ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and stroke mimics (SM). In an ongoing observational cohort study, we performed small RNA-sequencing in plasma obtained from a discovery cohort of 26 patients (9 IS, 8 ICH and 9 SM) presented to the emergency department within 6 h of symptom on...
