Effect of statins on aortic root growth rate in patients with bicuspid aortic valve anatomy.
Regeer MV, van Rosendael PJ, Kamperidis V, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Marsan NA, Delgado V
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy is associated with increased growth rate of the aortic root compared to tricuspid aortic valves. Statins decrease the growth rate of abdominal aneurysms; however their effect on the aortic root growth rate has not been elucidated. The present study evaluated the association between use of statins and aortic root growth in patients with BAV. A total of 199 patients (43 ± 15 years, 69% male) with BAV who underwent ≥ 2 echocardiographic measurements of the aortic...

Why do orangutans leave the trees? Terrestrial behavior among wild Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) at Tuanan, Central Kalimantan.
Ashbury AM, Posa MR, Dunkel LP, Spillmann B, Atmoko SS, van Schaik CP, van Noordwijk MA
Orangutans (genus Pongo) are the largest arboreal mammals, but Bornean orangutans (P. pygmaeus spp.) also spend time on the ground. Here, we investigate ground use among orangutans using 32,000 hr of direct focal animal observations from a well-habituated wild population of Bornean orangutans (P. p. wurmbii) living in a closed-canopy swamp forest at Tuanan, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Ground use did not change with increasing observation time of well-habituated individuals, suggesting it was...

Deletions in a ribosomal protein-coding gene are associated with tigecycline resistance in Enterococcus faecium.
Niebel M, Quick J, Prieto AM, Hill RL, Pike R, Huber D, David M, Hornsey M, Wareham D, Oppenheim B, Woodford N, van Schaik W, Loman N
Enterococcus faecium is an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with antibiotic therapy in the hospital environment. Whole-genome sequences were determined for three pairs of related, consecutively collected E. faecium clinical isolates to determine putative mechanisms of resistance to tigecycline. The first isolates (1S, 2S and 3S) in each of the three pairs were sensitive to tigecycline [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.125 mg/L]. Following tigecycline therapy, the second isolate...

Study of light-induced MscL gating by EPR spectroscopy.
Yilmaz D, Dimitrova AI, Walko M, Kocer A
A number of techniques developed to investigate protein structure and function depend on chemically modifying and/or labeling of proteins. However, in the case of homooligomeric proteins, the presence of multiple identical subunits obstructs the introduction of residue-specific labels to only one or several subunits, selectively. Here, in order to study the initial conformational changes of a homopentameric mechanosensitive ion channel during its gating, we developed a method for labeling a defi...

Viral metagenomics in drug-naïve, first-onset schizophrenia patients with prominent negative symptoms.
Canuti M, van Beveren NJ, Jazaeri Farsani SM, de Vries M, Deijs M, Jebbink MF, Zaaijer HL, van Schaik BD, van Kampen AH, van der Kuyl AC, de Haan L, Storosum JG, van der Hoek L
Although several studies suggest a virus or (endogenous) retrovirus involvement at the time of onset of schizophrenia, the unequivocal identification of one or more infectious agents, by means of an undirected catch-all technique, has never been conducted. In this study VIDISCA, a virus discovery method, was used in combination with Roche-454 high-throughput sequencing as a tool to determine the possible presence of viruses (known or unknown) in blood of first-onset drugs-naïve schizophrenic pat...
