The cooperative breeding perspective helps in pinning down when uniquely human evolutionary processes are necessary.
Burkart JM, van Schaik CP
The cultural group selection (CGS) approach provides a compelling explanation for recent changes in human societies, but has trouble explaining why our ancestors, rather than any other great ape, evolved into a hyper-cooperative niche. The cooperative breeding hypothesis can plug this gap and thus complement CGS, because recent comparative evidence suggests that it promoted proactive prosociality, social transmission, and communication in Pleistocene hominins.

"It may not cure you, it may not save your life, but it will help you".
van Schaik KD
In the modern world, we are experiencing an epidemiological shift represented by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases relative to that of acute diseases: more people are living longer, with more diseases, than ever before in human history. How are we to understand and to respond to this change? A study of provision of cancer treatment in Western Australia, especially among Indigenous populations, can illuminate ways in which healthcare providers and societies might better understand the...

Myocardial Infarction Alters Adaptation of the Tethered Mitral Valve.
Dal-Bianco JP, Aikawa E, Bischoff J, Guerrero JL, Hjortnaes J, Beaudoin J, Szymanski C, Bartko PE, Seybolt MM, Handschumacher MD, Sullivan S, Garcia ML, Mauskapf A, Titus JS, Wylie-Sears J, Irvin WS, Chaput M, Messas E, Hagège AA, Carpentier A, Levine RA, Leducq Transatlantic Mitral Network
Background: In patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leaflet tethering by displaced papillary muscles induces mitral regurgitation (MR), which doubles mortality. Mitral valves (MVs) are larger in such patients but fibrosis sets in counterproductively. The investigators previously reported that experimental tethering alone increases mitral valve area in association with endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the clinically relevant situation of...

Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Tailoring Aspirin Therapy for Primary Prevention of Atherosclerotic Events in Patients at High Risk With Diabetes Mellitus.
Dimitriu-Leen AC, Scholte AJ, van Rosendael AR, van den Hoogen IJ, Kharagjitsingh AV, Wolterbeek R, Knuuti J, Kroft LJ, Delgado V, Jukema JW, de Graaf MA, Bax JJ
Aspirin use for primary prevention in patients at high risk with diabetes mellitus (DM) is often recommended under the assumption that most patients with DM have coronary artery disease (CAD). However, not all patients may have CAD. The present study evaluated, in 425 patients at high risk with DM (without chest pain syndrome or a history of cardiac disease), the prevalence of CAD on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). Moreover, the association between the presence and number of trad...

Hemostatic alterations during coronary artery bypass grafting.
Gielen CLI, Brand A, van Heerde WL, Stijnen T, Klautz RJM, Eikenboom J
Introduction: The origination of blood loss after cardiac surgery is not fully explained, but is related to operation trauma and use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, the extent of their contribution is incompletely known and might differ between distinct operation procedures. Materials and methods: Three groups of CABG procedures were studied: 1) off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB, n=11) without CPB, 2) CABG with use of CPB (CABG, n=11) and 3) CABG with use of CPB combined w...

Salivary Antimicrobial Peptides in Early Detection of Periodontitis.
Güncü GN, Yilmaz D, Könönen E, Gürsoy UK
In the pathogenesis of periodontitis, an infection-induced inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues, there is a complex interaction between the subgingival microbiota and host tissues. A periodontal diagnostic tool for detecting the initiation and progression of the disease, monitoring the response to therapy, or measuring the degree of susceptibility to future disease progression has been of interest for a long time. The value of various enzymes, proteins, and immunoglobulins, which...

Non-response to (statin) therapy: the importance of distinguishing non-responders from non-adherers in pharmacogenetic studies.
Trompet S, Postmus I, Slagboom PE, Heijmans BT, Smit RA, Maier AB, Buckley BM, Sattar N, Stott DJ, Ford I, Westendorp RG, de Craen AJ, Jukema JW
Purpose: In pharmacogenetic research, genetic variation in non-responders and high responders is compared with the aim to identify the genetic loci responsible for this variation in response. However, an important question is whether the non-responders are truly biologically non-responsive or actually non-adherent? Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe, within the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER), characteristics of both non-responders and high respond...
