Kimura Y, Wallet J, Bouyer B, Jongbloed MRM, Bertels R, Hazekamp MG, Thambo JB, Iriart X, Cochet H, Sacher F, Lamb HJ, Blom NA, Zeppenfeld K
Background and aims: Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot remain at risk of life-threatening ventricular tachycardia related to slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses (SCAIs). Preventive ablation of SCAI identified by invasive electroanatomical mapping is increasingly performed. This study aimed to non-invasively identify SCAI using 3D late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (3D-LGE-CMR). Methods: Consecutive tetralogy of Fallot patients who underwent right ventricular electro...

de Frel DL, Schroijen MA, Aardoom JJ, van Gils W, Huisman SD, Janssen VR, Versluis A, Kleinsmann MS, Atsma DE, Pijl H
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) tremendously affects patient health and health care globally. Changing lifestyle behaviors can help curb the burden of T2D. However, health behavior change is a complex interplay of medical, behavioral, and psychological factors. Personalized lifestyle advice and promotion of self-management can help patients change their health behavior and improve glucose regulation. Digital tools are effective in areas of self-management and have great potential to support pa...

Characterizing Longitudinal Patterns in Cognition, Mood, And Activity in Depression With 6-Week High-Frequency Wearable Assessment: Observational Study.
Cormack F, McCue M, Skirrow C, Cashdollar N, Taptiklis N, van Schaik T, Fehnert B, King J, Chrones L, Sarkey S, Kroll J, Barnett JH
Background: Cognitive symptoms are an underrecognized aspect of depression that are often untreated. High-frequency cognitive assessment holds promise for improving disease and treatment monitoring. Although we have previously found it feasible to remotely assess cognition and mood in this capacity, further work is needed to ascertain the optimal methodology to implement and synthesize these techniques. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine (1) longitudinal changes in mood, cogni...

A Case Study for Determination of the Best Underground Dam Sites, Bursa Province, Turkey.
Aras E, Boz B, Vaheddoost B, Yılmaz D
Water constitutes an indispensable resource vital for sustaining life. In this context, groundwater stands out as a paramount global water source. Throughout history, underground dams (UGDs) have been employed to augment the storage capacity of local aquifers. This study employs a multistep elimination approach to identify optimal locations for constructing UGDs in the Bursa district, Turkey. Initially, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is utilized to pinpoint the potential construction sites at...

Direct Fabrication of Atomically Defined Pores in MXenes Using Feedback-Driven STEM.
Boebinger MG, Yilmaz DE, Ghosh A, Misra S, Mathis TS, Kalinin SV, Jesse S, Gogotsi Y, van Duin ACT, Unocic RR
Controlled fabrication of nanopores in 2D materials offer the means to create robust membranes needed for ion transport and nanofiltration. Techniques for creating nanopores have relied upon either plasma etching or direct irradiation; however, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) offers the advantage of combining a sub-Å sized electron beam for atomic manipulation along with atomic resolution imaging. Here, a method for automated nanopore fabrication is utilized...

Understanding the Remarkable Stability of Well-Defined Dinuclear Copper(I) Carbene Complexes.
Bienenmann RLM, de Vries MR, Lutz M, Broere DLJ
The synthesis of a well-defined dicopper carbene complex supported by the PNNP (2,7-bis(di-tert-butylphosphaneyl)methyl-1,8-naphthyridine) expanded pincer ligand is reported. This carbene complex is remarkably stable, even in the presence of air and water. The reactivity of this complex was explored towards typical carbene transfer substrates and its electronic structure was investigated. Using a combination of experiments and DFT calculations, the principles that underly the stability of dinucl...

Myocardial Bridging as a Trigger in Angina With No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease.
Beijk MAM, Woudstra J, Vink AS, Bijsterveld NR, de Lind van Wijngaarden RAF, Klautz RJM
We present 2 patients with angina with no obstructive coronary artery disease and concomitant myocardial bridging. Despite maximal tolerated pharmacotherapy, symptoms remained. Invasive anatomical and hemodynamic assessment identified myocardial bridging as a contributing cause of angina. Following heart team discussion, both patients underwent successful coronary artery unroofing of the left anterior descending artery.

Sensational Dreams: The Prevalence of Sensory Experiences in Dreaming.
van der Heijden AC, Thevis J, Verhaegen J, Talamini LM
Dreaming, a widely researched aspect of sleep, often mirrors waking-life experiences. Despite the prevalence of sensory perception during wakefulness, sensory experiences in dreams remain relatively unexplored. Free recall dream reports, where individuals describe their dreams freely, may not fully capture sensory dream experiences. In this study, we developed a dream diary with direct questions about sensory dream experiences. Participants reported sensory experiences in their dreams upon awake...

Aims: Interatrial shunts are under evaluation as a treatment for heart failure (HF); however, their in vivo flow performance has not been quantitatively studied. We aimed to investigate the fluid dynamics properties of the 0.51 cm orifice diameter Ventura shunt and assess its lumen integrity with serial transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods and results: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and bench flow tests were used to establish the flow-pressure relationship of the shunt. Open-label...

Background: Functional mitral regurgitation induces adverse effects on the left ventricle and the left atrium. Left atrial (LA) dilatation and reduced LA strain are associated with poor outcomes in heart failure (HF). Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of the mitral valve reduces heart failure hospitalization (HFH) and all-cause death in selected HF patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of LA strain improvement 6 months after TEER on the outcomes of patient...
