Plasmids Shaped the Recent Emergence of the Major Nosocomial Pathogen Enterococcus faecium.
Arredondo-Alonso S, Top J, McNally A, Puranen S, Pesonen M, Pensar J, Marttinen P, Braat JC, Rogers MRC, van Schaik W, Kaski S, Willems RJL, Corander J, Schürch AC
Enterococcus faecium is a gut commensal of humans and animals but is also listed on the WHO global priority list of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Many of its antibiotic resistance traits reside on plasmids and have the potential to be disseminated by horizontal gene transfer. Here, we present the first comprehensive population-wide analysis of the pan-plasmidome of a clinically important bacterium, by whole-genome sequence analysis of 1,644 isolates from hospital, commensal, and animal sources...

Surgical Management of Aorto-Ventricular Tunnel. A Multicenter Study.
Protopapas EM, Anderson RH, Backer CL, Fragata J, Hakim N, Vida VL, Sarris GE, European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association-World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (ECHSA-WSPCHS) Study Group, Barron DJ, Berggren H, Hazekamp MG, Ilyin V, Kornoukhov OJ, Kostolny M, Lazarov S, Lo Rito M, Monge MC, Mykychak Y, Nosal M, Prêtre R, Polimenakos AC, Sojak V, Stellin G, Veshti A, Yemets I
Aorto-ventricular tunnel (AoVT), a rare congenital anomaly, is a channel originating in the ascending aorta just above the sinotubular junction and leading to the cavity of the left ventricle (AoLVT), or, rarely, the right (AoRVT). This study reviews our collective 30-year experience with the surgical treatment of AoVT. Data were submitted by 15 participating centers on 42 patients who underwent correction of AoVT between 1987 and 2018. Of these, 36 had AoLVT, and 6 AoRVT. The tunnel originated...

Norovirus outbreak in a natural playground: A One Health approach.
Sips GJ, Dirven MJG, Donkervoort JT, van Kolfschoten FM, Schapendonk CME, Phan MVT, Bloem A, van Leeuwen AF, Trompenaars ME, Koopmans MPG, van der Eijk AA, de Graaf M, Fanoy EB
Norovirus constitutes the most frequently identified infectious cause of disease outbreaks associated with untreated recreational water. When investigating outbreaks related to surface water, a One Health approach is insightful. Historically, there has been a focus on potential contamination of recreational water by bird droppings and a recent publication demonstrating human noroviruses in bird faeces suggested this should be investigated in future water-related norovirus outbreaks. Here, we des...

PROMIS PF correlates with HOOS, JR in patients with hip pain.
Moore MLG, Kortlever JTP, Keulen MHF, Brigati DP, Bozic KJ, Koenig KM
Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly integrated into reporting requirements tied to reimbursement. There may be advantages to computer adaptive tests that apply to many different anatomical regions and diseases, provided that important information is not lost. Questions: 1) Does the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS PF) computer adaptive test correlate with the Hip injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint...

Two Cultural Models on Infant Motor Development: Middle Class Parents in Israel and the Netherlands.
Oudgenoeg-Paz O, Atun-Einy O, van Schaik SDM
Culture influences the way parents shape children's environment. Two studies examined cross-cultural differences in parental practices related to motor development in Israel and the Netherlands. In the first study, 198 Dutch and 206 Israeli parents of infants aged 1-7.5 months completed questionnaires measuring parental practices and beliefs regarding motor development. In the second study, 30 Dutch and 30 Israeli parents completed the same questionnaires when their children were 2 and 10 m...

Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients With Secondary Mitral Regurgitation.
Namazi F, van der Bijl P, Hirasawa K, Kamperidis V, van Wijngaarden SE, Mertens B, Leon MB, Hahn RT, Stone GW, Narula J, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Background: Left ventricular (LV) systolic function may be overestimated in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) when using LV ejection fraction (EF). LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a less load-dependent measure of LV function. However, the prognostic value of LV GLS in secondary MR has not been evaluated. Objectives: This study sought to demonstrate the prognostic value of LV GLS over LVEF in patients with secondary MR. Methods: A total of 650 patients (mean 66 ± 11 years o...

Tomšič A, Hiemstra YL, Arabkhani B, Mertens BJA, van Brakel TJ, Versteegh MIM, Marsan NA, Klautz RJM, Palmen M
Objectives: The risk factors and clinical effect of elevated mitral valve (MV) gradients after valve repair for degenerative valve disease remain insufficiently understood. Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2015, a total of 484 patients underwent valve repair for degenerative disease. A true-sized full annuloplasty ring was implanted in all cases. We analysed the effect of preoperative and intraoperative factors on the postrepair gradient. Additionally, we explored the effect of postrep...

Structural basis for osmotic regulation of the DNA binding properties of H-NS proteins.
Qin L, Bdira FB, Sterckx YGJ, Volkov AN, Vreede J, Giachin G, van Schaik P, Ubbink M, Dame RT
H-NS proteins act as osmotic sensors translating changes in osmolarity into altered DNA binding properties, thus, regulating enterobacterial genome organization and genes transcription. The molecular mechanism underlying the switching process and its conservation among H-NS family members remains elusive. Here, we focus on the H-NS family protein MvaT from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and demonstrate experimentally that its protomer exists in two different conformations, corresponding to two different...

"A Friendly Place to Grow as an Educator": A Qualitative Study of Community and Relationships Among Medical Student Coaches.
Sheu L, Hauer KE, Schreiner K, van Schaik SM, Chang A, O'Brien BC
Purpose: The rise of coaching programs in medical education sparks questions about ways to support physician coaches in learning new educational practices specific to coaching. How coaches learn from one another is of particular interest considering the potential value of social learning. Using communities of practice as a conceptual framework, the authors examine the sense of community and relationships among coaches in a new medical student coaching program, the value of this community, and th...

<i>OPRM1</i> and <i>COMT</i> polymorphisms: implications on postoperative acute, chronic and experimental pain after cardiac surgery.
Matic M, Matic M, de Hoogd S, de Wildt SN, Tibboel D, Knibbe CA, van Schaik RH
Aim: Investigate the potential role of OPRM1 (mu-opioid receptor) and COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase enzyme) polymorphisms in postoperative acute, chronic and experimental thermal pain. Methods: A secondary analysis of 125 adult cardiac surgery patients that were randomized between fentanyl and remifentanil during surgery and genotyped. Results: Patients in the fentanyl group with the COMT high-pain sensitivity haplotype required less postoperative morphine compared with the average-pain sen...

Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in the human gut microbiome.
McInnes RS, McCallum GE, Lamberte LE, van Schaik W
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a major threat to public health. The pathogens causing these infections can acquire antibiotic resistance genes in a process termed horizontal gene transfer (HGT). HGT is a common event in the human gut microbiome, that is, the microbial ecosystem of the human intestinal tract. HGT in the gut microbiome can occur via different mechanisms of which transduction and conjugation have been best characterised. Novel bioinformatic tools and experim...

Tandem amplification of the vanM gene cluster drives vancomycin resistance in vancomycin-variable enterococci.
Sun L, Chen Y, Hua X, Chen Y, Hong J, Wu X, Jiang Y, van Schaik W, Qu T, Yu Y
Background: Vancomycin-variable enterococci (VVE) are a potential risk factor for vancomycin resistance gene dissemination and clinical treatment failure. vanM has emerged as a new prevalent resistance determinant among clinical enterococci in China. A total of 54 vancomycin-susceptible enterococci (VSE) isolates carrying incomplete vanM gene clusters were isolated in our previous study. Objectives: To determine the potential of vanM-carrying VSE to develop vancomycin resistance and investigate...
