Quantification of the probability of reintroduction of IBR in the Netherlands through cattle imports.
Santman-Berends IMGA, Mars MH, Waldeck HWF, van Duijn L, Wever P, van den Broek KWH, van Schaik G
In the Netherlands, the feasibility of a national control program for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is discussed. The aim of this program would be to achieve freedom from BoHV1 circulation (the causal agent of IBR), in the Dutch cattle population. When IBR would be eradicated, maintaining the free status is essential and insight in the probability of introduction of IBR through cattle imports is crucial. Values for input parameters such as the number of imports per country of origin, h...

Body fat distribution, in particular visceral fat, is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in obese women.
Elffers TW, de Mutsert R, Lamb HJ, de Roos A, Willems van Dijk K, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, Trompet S
Background: Body fat distribution is, next to overall obesity, an important risk factor for cardiometabolic outcomes in the general population. In particular, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is strongly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. Since it is unclear whether body fat distribution is also important in men and women with obesity we investigated the associations between measures of body fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk factors in men and women with obesity. Methods: In this...

Thiopurine metabolite levels in patients with atopic dermatitis and/or chronic hand/foot eczema treated with azathioprine.
Garritsen FM, van der Schaft J, Bruijnzeel-Koomen CAF, van Schaik RH, de Graaf M, van den Broek MPH, de Bruin-Weller MS
Background: Azathioprine is frequently used in severe eczema. It is converted in the liver into active metabolites, including 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) and methylated 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP). In the past, the therapeutic potential of azathioprine may have not been fully utilized. Recent investigations on inflammatory bowel disease have led to a better understanding of azathioprine metabolism and optimizing treatment. Objective: To investigate whether measuring thiopurine metabolite...

The Ross reimplantation technique.
Schneider A, Klautz RJM, Hazekamp M
Pulmonary autograft replacement of a diseased aortic valve (the Ross procedure) is effective in children, where growth is essential, and in young patients for whom a biological solution is preferred. Long-term outcomes are generally good. However eventual autograft dilatation may necessitate reoperation. In order to diminish the risk of autograft dilatation, several 'wrapping' techniques have been developed. Here, we present our technique of choice: the reimplantation of the pulmonary...
