Optimal surgical mitral valve repair in Barlow's disease: the concept of functional prolapse.
Klautz RJ, Tomšič A, Palmen M, van Brakel TJ, Perier P
Barlow's disease presents the most severe form of degenerative mitral valve disease as it normally affects various valvular structures and segments. We discuss the technical aspects of mitral valve repair in this setting. Furthermore, the concept of "functional prolapse" of the mitral valve is discussed as well as recommendations on when to proceed with surgical correction of anterior leaflet prolapse.

Modeling the Human Scarred Heart In Vitro: Toward New Tissue Engineered Models.
Deddens JC, Sadeghi AH, Hjortnaes J, van Laake LW, Buijsrogge M, Doevendans PA, Khademhosseini A, Sluijter JP
Cardiac remodeling is critical for effective tissue healing, however, excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix components contribute to scarring and failing of the heart. Despite the fact that novel therapies have emerged, there are still no lifelong solutions for this problem. An urgent need exists to improve the understanding of adverse cardiac remodeling in order to develop new therapeutic interventions that will prevent, reverse, or regenerate the fibrotic changes in the f...

Judging the morality of utilitarian actions: How poor utilitarian accessibility makes judges irrational.
Kusev P, van Schaik P, Alzahrani S, Lonigro S, Purser H
Is it acceptable and moral to sacrifice a few people's lives to save many others? Research on moral dilemmas in psychology, experimental philosophy, and neuropsychology has shown that respondents judge utilitarian personal moral actions (footbridge dilemma) as less appropriate than equivalent utilitarian impersonal moral actions (trolley dilemma). Accordingly, theorists (e.g., Greene et al., 2001) have argued that judgments of appropriateness in personal moral dilemmas are more emotionally...

Implementing wildlife disease surveillance in the Netherlands, a One Health approach.
Maas M, Gröne A, Kuiken T, Van Schaik G, Roest HI, Van Der Giessen JW
The surveillance of (emerging) wildlife diseases can provide important, objective evidence of the circulation of pathogens of interest for veterinary and/or public health. The involvement of multiple research institutions in wildlife disease surveillance can ensure the best use of existing knowledge and expertise, but can also complicate or add challenges to the integration of wildlife disease surveillance components into a national programme. Documenting the existing efforts in a country's...

Tumor relapse is associated with dismal prognosis, but responsible biological principles remain incompletely understood. To isolate and characterize relapse-inducing cells, we used genetic engineering and proliferation-sensitive dyes in patient-derived xenografts of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We identified a rare subpopulation that resembled relapse-inducing cells with combined properties of long-term dormancy, treatment resistance, and stemness. Single-cell and bulk expression profilin...

RNA Contaminates Glycosaminoglycans Extracted from Cells and Tissues.
van Gemst JJ, Loeven MA, de Graaf MJ, Berden JH, Rabelink TJ, Smit CH, van der Vlag J
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear negatively charged polysaccharides and important components of extracellular matrices and cell surface glycan layers such as the endothelial glycocalyx. The GAG family includes sulfated heparin, heparan sulfate (HS), dermatan sulfate (DS), chondroitin sulfate (CS), keratan sulfate, and non-sulfated hyaluronan. Because relative expression of GAGs is dependent on cell-type and niche, isolating GAGs from cell cultures and tissues may provide insight into cell- a...

New strategies are needed to develop better tools to control TB, including identification of novel antigens for vaccination. Such Mtb antigens must be expressed during Mtb infection in the major target organ, the lung, and must be capable of eliciting human immune responses. Using genome-wide transcriptomics of Mtb infected lungs we developed data sets and methods to identify IVE-TB (in-vivo expressed Mtb) antigens expressed in the lung. Quantitative expression analysis of 2,068 Mtb genes from t...

Excessive alcohol consumption is a major public health problem worldwide. Although drinking habits are known to be inherited, few genes have been identified that are robustly linked to alcohol drinking. We conducted a genome-wide association metaanalysis and replication study among >105,000 individuals of European ancestry and identified β-Klotho (KLB) as a locus associated with alcohol consumption (rs11940694; P = 9.2 × 10-12). β-Klotho is an obligate coreceptor for the hormone FGF21, which...

Myocardial strain to detect subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Tops LF, Delgado V, Marsan NA, Bax JJ
In daily clinical practice, LV systolic function is routinely assessed with the use of two-dimensional echocardiography. Using biplane LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, LVEF is calculated. The introduction of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography has improved the accuracy of echocardiographic assessment of LVEF. However, calculated LVEF may not truly represent LV systolic function in specific cardiac diseases or when subtle LV dysfunction is present. Two-dimensional speckle track...

Germline mutation detection from human DNA sequence data is challenging due to the rarity of such events relative to the intrinsic error rates of sequencing technologies and the uneven coverage across the genome. We developed PhaseByTransmission (PBT) to identify de novo single nucleotide variants and short insertions and deletions (indels) from sequence data collected in parent-offspring trios. We compute the joint probability of the data given the genotype likelihoods in the individual family...
