Pericarditis prophylactic therapy after sinus node–sparing hybrid ablation for inappropriate sinus tachycardia/postural orthostatic sinus tachycardia Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Carlo De Asmundis, Lorenzo Marcon, Luigi Pannone, Domenico Giovanni Della Rocca, Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, Thomas M Beaver, Chad R Brodt, Cinzia Monaco, Antonio Sorgente, Charles Audiat, et al.
Background: Pericarditis is the most common complication following hybrid sinus node–sparing ablation for inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST)/postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Objective: The study sought to evaluate the association of prophylaxis therapy on the risk of symptomatic pericarditis following hybrid IST/POTS ablation. Methods: All consecutive patients undergoing to hybrid ablation of symptomatic IST/POTS refractory ...

Successful treatment of ulcerative colitis with anakinra : a case report Universiteit Gent

Marie Truyens, Levi Hoste, Jeroen Geldof, Anne Hoorens, Filomeen Haerynck, Triana Lobatón Ortega
Currently the effect of IL-1 blockade on ulcerative colitis (UC) is still ambiguous. This case report describes a patient with UC who developed severe complications after an episode of azathioprine-induced pancytopenia including cytomegalovirus pneumonitis, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and probable pulmonary aspergillosis. Imaging after the hospitalization revealed a severe disseminated chronic candidiasis and persisting inflammation was ...

Strength of small-bites abdominal wall closure using different suturing methods and materials in an experimental animal model Universiteit Gent

L. Visscher, F. P. J. den Hartog, P. J. Tanis, H. P. Theeuwes, Frederik Berrevoet, Hasan Eker
Purpose Using small instead of large bites for laparotomy closure results in lower incidence of incisional hernia, but no consensus exists on which suture material to use. This study aimed to compare five different closure strategies in a standardized experimental setting.Methods Fifty porcine abdominal walls were arranged into 5 groups: (A) running 2/0 polydioxanone; (B) interlocking 2/0 polydioxanone; (C) running size 0 barbed polydioxanone; ...

High-throughput nanoflow proteomics using a dual-column electrospray source Universiteit Gent Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie

An Staes, Katie Boucher, Sara Dufour, Teresa Maia, Evy Timmerman, Delphi Van Haver, Jarne Pauwels, Hans Demol, Jonathan Vandenbussche, Kris Gevaert, et al.
With current trends in proteomics, especially regarding clinical and low input (to single cell) samples, it is increasingly important to both maximize the throughput of the analysis and maintain as much sensitivity as possible. The new generation of mass spectrometers (MS) are taking a huge leap in sensitivity, allowing analysis of samples with shorter liquid chromatography (LC) methods while digging as deep in the proteome. However, the ...

Chikungunya infection in returned travellers: results from the geosentinel network, 2005-2020 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

R Bierbrier, Emilie Javelle, FF Norman, Lin H. Chen, Emmanuel Bottieau, Eli Schwartz, Karin Leder, Kristina M Angelo, Rhett J. Stoney, Michael Libman, et al.
Background
Chikungunya is an important travel-related disease because of its rapid geographical expansion and potential for prolonged morbidity. Improved understanding of the epidemiology of travel-related chikungunya infections may influence prevention strategies including education and vaccination.

Methods
We analysed data from travellers with confirmed or probable chikungunya reported to GeoSentinel sites from 2005 to ...

A short-term exposure to saxitoxin triggers a multitude of deleterious effects in Daphnia magna at levels deemed safe for human health Universiteit Gent

Albano Pinto, Inês P.E. Macário, Sérgio M. Marques, Joana Lourenço, Inês Domingues, Maria João Botelho, Jana Asselman, Patrícia Pereira, Joana L. Pereira
Harmful algal blooms and the toxins produced during these events are a human and environmental health concern worldwide. Saxitoxin and its derivatives are potent natural aquatic neurotoxins produced by certain freshwater cyanobacteria and marine algae species during these bloom events. Saxitoxins effects on human health are well studied, however its effects on aquatic biota are still largely unexplored. This work aims at evaluating the effects ...

Extreme silicon thinning for back side power delivery network : Si thinning stopping on scaled SiGe etch stop layer Universiteit Gent

Farid Sebaai, Roger Loo, Anne Jourdain, Eric Beyne, Hikaru Kawarazaki, Teppei Nakano, Efrain Altamirano Sanchez
This paper discusses the challenges relative to the silicon thinning which allows the back side power delivery integration (BSPDN). The back side silicon thinning stopping on a thin Si0.75Ge0.25 etch stop layer (ESL) has been investigated as it represents an alternative to the use of SOI wafers. Etch stop layers using 10 nm Si0.75Ge0.25 or 10 nm Si0.75Ge0.25 boron doped (Si0.75Ge0.25:B) have been studied for which different thinning process ...

Classifying the Percentage of Broken Magnets in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using Combined Short-Time Fourier Transform and a Pre-Trained Convolutional Neural Network Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Amin Ghafouri Matanagh, Salih Baris Ozturk, Taner Goktas, Omar Hegazy

In critical applications of electrical machines, ensuring validity and safety is paramount to prevent system failures with potentially hazardous consequences. The integration of machine learning (ML) technologies plays a crucial role in monitoring system performance and averting failures. Among various motor types, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are widely favored for their versatile speed range, enhanced power density, and ease ...

Transient abdominal telangiectasia of the newborn Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Mario Cutrone, Dirk Van Gysel

Transient abdominal telangiectasia of the newborn (TATN) is a recently described entity. The majority of cases had no specific clinical context or trigger identified, but a minority occurred in the clinical context of transient increased intraabdominal pressure. We report four additional cases of TATN, all in the presence of transient abdominal distension, further supporting the causative relationship of abdominal distension to TATN.
