Virtual Reality for Pain and Anxiety Management in Cardiac Surgery and Interventional Cardiology.
El Mathari S, Hoekman A, Kharbanda RK, Sadeghi AH, de Lind van Wijngaarden R, Götte M, Klautz RJM, Kluin J
Pain and anxiety are common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and percutaneous cardiac interventions. Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging non-pharmacological tool for pain and anxiety management. However, its application around cardiac procedures remains relatively unexplored. In this review, we perform a targeted non-systematic literature review to assess the current state-of-the-art of VR for pain and anxiety management in patients undergoing cardiac procedures. Contexts of interest were...

Short-term Changes in Health-related Quality of Life of Patients Undergoing Radical Surgery for Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: Results from a Prospective Phase 2 Clinical Trial.
van Doeveren T, Remmers S, Atema V, van den Bergh RCN, Boevé ER, Cornel EB, van der Heijden AG, Hendricksen K, Cauberg ECC, Jacobs RAL, Kroon BK, Leliveld AM, Meijer RP, Merks B, Oddens JR, Roelofs L, Somford DM, de Vries P, Wijsman B, Windt WAKM, Zwaan PJ, van Leeuwen PJ, Boormans JL, Aben KKH
Background and objective: The possible negative impact of radical surgery on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) plays an important role in preoperative counseling. Here, we analyzed the HRQoL of patients treated for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in the context of a single-arm phase 2 multicenter study, in which the safety and efficacy of a single preoperative intravesical instillation with mitomycin C were investigated. Our objective was to investigate early...

Children's expectations about the stability of others' knowledge and preference states.
Kurupınar M, Serbest O, Yılmaz D, Soley G
It is a crucial ability to predict others' psychological states across time and contexts. Focusing on cultural inventions such as songs and stories, we contrasted children's attributions of stability with others' knowledge and preference states across time and space and whether these attributions change as a function of children's familiarity with the known/liked items. Children (91 4-year-olds and 97 6-year-olds) were introduced to characters who knew or liked a song, a stor...

Sex Differences in the Histopathology of Acute Type A Aortic Dissections.
Grewal N, Dolmaci OB, Klautz RJ, Poelmann RE
Background: Although sex-related differences in cardiovascular surgery outcomes have increasingly garnered attention in the past decades, knowledge about sex disparities in the pathophysiology of acute type A aortic dissections (ATAADs) remains sparse. In this study, we evaluate the histopathologic and atherosclerotic lesions in female and male ATAAD patients. Methods: A total of 68 patients were studied: 51 ATAAD patients (mean age: 62.5 ± 10.8 years; 49% women) and 17 control patients (mean ag...

Fast creation of data-driven low-order predictive cardiac tissue excitation models from recorded activation patterns.
Kabus D, De Coster T, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA, Dierckx H
Excitable systems give rise to important phenomena such as heat waves, epidemics and cardiac arrhythmias. Understanding, forecasting and controlling such systems requires reliable mathematical representations. For cardiac tissue, computational models are commonly generated in a reaction-diffusion framework based on detailed measurements of ionic currents in dedicated single-cell experiments. Here, we show that recorded movies at the tissue-level of stochastic pacing in a single variable are suff...

Fractional dosing can be a cost-effective vaccination strategy to accelerate individual and herd immunity in a pandemic. We assessed the immunogenicity and safety of primary intradermal (ID) vaccination, with a 1/5th dose compared with the standard intramuscular (IM) dose of mRNA-1273 in SARS-CoV-2 naïve persons. We conducted an open-label, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial in the Netherlands between June and December 2021. One hundred and fifty healthy and SARS-CoV-2 naïve participan...

TAPVR: Molecular Pathways and Animal Models.
Poelmann RE, Jongbloed MRM, DeRuiter MC
The venous pole of the heart where the pulmonary veins will develop encompasses the sinus venosus and the atrium. In the fourth week of development, the sinus venosus consists of a left and a right part receiving blood from the common cardinal vein, the omphalomesenteric and umbilical veins. Asymmetrical expansion of the common atrium corresponds with a rightward shift of the connection of the sinus to the atrium. The right-sided part of the sinus venosus including its tributing cardinal veins e...

Unusual neonatal case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome with Meckel's diverticulum and literature review.
Karaçay Ş, Yılmaz D, Mert M, Berber M
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a rare cause of duodenal obstruction which is characterized by compression of the duodenum due to narrowing of the space between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Incomplete duodenal obstruction due to SMAS in neonates is rarely reported in the literature. In this case, it is a full-term 2-day-old male with the complaint of recurrent vomiting starting soon after birth. The patient was diagnosed with SMAS and duodenoduodenostomy was performed....

Non-Detection of HCMV Total Genomic DNA in Human Glioma Cells Genome.
Gokturk D, Alkis M, Yilmaz DM
Aim: To demonstrate if the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genome, that is involved in the pathogenesis of gliomas, is part of the genomic DNA of glioma cells or not. Material and methods: The study included U87MG glioblastoma cell culture and tumor samples from glioma patients. The genomic DNA of tumor samples and U87MG cells were extracted and real-time quantitative PCR was used to assess the presence of the human cytomegalovirus genomic DNA. Results: Consequently, HCMV positivity was not detecte...

Reliability, Measurement Error, Responsiveness, and Minimal Important Change of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale 2.0 for Patients With Nonspecific Neck Pain.
Thoomes E, Cleland JA, Falla D, Bier J, de Graaf M
Objective: The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess functional limitations. Recently, the PSFS 2.0 was proposed; this instrument includes an inverse numeric rating scale and an additional list of activities that patients can choose. The aim of this study was to assess the test-retest reliability, measurement error, responsiveness, and minimal important change of the PSFS 2.0 when used by patients with nonspecific neck pain. Methods: Patien...

Therapeutic angiogenesis for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia: promising or hoax?
Peeters JAHM, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Quax PHA
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a critical end-stage disease that leads to high amputation rates. Over the past few decades, therapeutic angiogenesis has attracted a lot of attention as a means to reduce the necessity for amputations. Especially gene- and cell therapy are regarded to as possible treatment modalities to restore the hampered blood flow. So far, early-phase clinical trials often fail to prove a significant clinical improvement in mortality, amputation rate, and ulcer he...

Background: The lack of disease-modifying drugs is one of the major unmet needs in patients with heart failure (HF). Peptides are highly selective molecules with the potential to act directly on cardiomyocytes. However, a strategy for effective delivery of therapeutics to the heart is lacking. Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to assess tolerability and efficacy of an inhalable lung-to-heart nano-in-micro technology (LungToHeartNIM) for cardiac-specific targeting of a mimetic peptide...

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connections, Human Genetics.
Poelmann RE, Jongbloed MRM, DeRuiter MC
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections (PAVC) have been found after abnormal gene expressions involving several syndromes. Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is found in conjunction with heterotaxia syndrome as well as several other syndromes. It has been reported with an autosomal dominance with variable expression and incomplete penetrance. The occurrence is also related to environmental factors which may superimpose on a familial susceptibility for TAPVC. Many pathway...
