Abstract
GATOR1 (GAP Activity TOward Rag 1) is an evolutionarily conserved GTPase-activating protein complex that controls the activity of mTORC1 (mammalian Target Of Rapamycin Complex 1) in response to amino acid availability in cells. Genetic mutations in the GATOR1 subunits, NPRL2 (nitrogen permease regulator-like 2), NPRL3 (nitrogen permease regulator-like 3), and DEPDC5 (DEP domain containing 5), have been associated with epilepsy in humans; however, the specific effects of these mutations on GATOR1 function and mTORC1 regulation are not well understood. Herein, we report that epilepsy-linked mutations in the NPRL2 subunit of GATOR1, NPRL2-L105P, -T110S, and -D214H, increase basal mTORC1 signal transduction in cells. Notably, we show that NPRL2-L105P is a loss-of-function mutation that disrupts protein interactions with NPRL3 and DEPDC5, impairing GATOR1 complex assembly and resulting in high mTORC1 activity even under conditions of amino acid deprivation. Furthermore, our studies reveal that the GATOR1 complex is necessary for the rapid and robust inhibition of mTORC1 in response to growth factor withdrawal or pharmacological inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K). In the absence of the GATOR1 complex, cells are refractory to PI3K-dependent inhibition of mTORC1, permitting sustained translation and restricting the nuclear localization of TFEB, a transcription factor regulated by mTORC1. Collectively, our results show that epilepsy-linked mutations in NPRL2 can block GATOR1 complex assembly and restrict the appropriate regulation of mTORC1 by canonical PI3K-dependent growth factor signaling in the presence or absence of amino acids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Older adults at the Emergency Department (ED) often present with nonspecific complaints (NSC) such as 'weakness' or 'feeling unwell'. Health care workers may underestimate illness in patients with NSC, leading to adverse health outcomes. This study compares characteristics and outcomes of NSC-patients versus specific complaints (SC) patients. METHODS Cohort study in patients ≥ 70 years in two Dutch EDs. NSC was classified according to the BANC-study-framework based on the medical history in the ED letter, before additional diagnostics took place. A second classification was performed at the end of the ED visit/hospital admission. Primary outcomes were functional decline, institutionalization, and mortality at 30 days. RESULTS 26% (n = 228) of a total of 888 included patients presented with NSC. Compared with SC-patients, NSC-patients were older, more frail, and more frequently female. NSC-patients had a higher risk of functional decline and institutionalization at 30 days (adjusted ORs 1.84, 95% CI 1.27 - 2.72, and 2.46, 95% CI 1.51-4.00, respectively), but not mortality (adjusted OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.58 - 2.73). Reclassification to a specific complaint after the ED visit or hospital admission occurred in 54% of NSC-patients. CONCLUSION NSC occur especially in older, frail female patients and are associated with an increased risk of functional decline and institutionalization, even after adjustment for worse baseline status. In half of the patients, a specific complaint revealed during ED or hospital stay. Physicians at the ED should consider NSC as a red flag needing appropriate observation and evaluation of underlying serious conditions and needs of this vulnerable patient group.

Background
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Central Asia. In 2019, crude mortality rate in the region was 348.13 per 100,000 population. Heart failure (HF) is important CVD subtype owing to even worse outcome. There has been a dearth of information on the epidemiology of HF in Central Asia.
Purpose
we aimed to describe aetiology, comorbidities, adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), and outcomes in patients hospitalised for heart failure in Central Asian population.
Methods
the retrospective analysis included 538 patients hospitalised for decompensated heart failure in a tertiary hospital from December 2011 to December 2019. Inclusion criteria were (i) age ≥18 years; (ii) hospitalisation for HF treatment. Exclusion criteria were (i) pregnancy; (ii) comorbidity with survival time considered to be <1 year on the basis of patients` medical history; (iii) acute HF caused by acute myocardial infarction, metabolic, toxic or infectious disorders. Primary outcome was one-year all-cause mortality, secondary outcome - readmission for HF at one year. Given that the data had been collected retrospectively, informed consent was not obtained, nevertheless, local ethics committee approved the study.
Results
Central Asian patients were relatively young (mean age 64.0 years), 61.2% of them were male, 77.7% had ischemic heart disease, 8.7% rheumatic heart disease, 32.2% obstructive pulmonary disease, 47.7% atrial fibrillation/flutter, 45.7% hyperlipidemia, 72.1% hypertension, and 31.6% diabetes mellitus. Use of GDMT at discharge was 76.0% for beta-blockers, 29.7% for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, 21.2% for angiotensin II receptor blockers, 71.9% for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Only 3.9% of patients were implanted with a pacemaker and 0.9% with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. All-cause mortality at one year was 19.0%, with no difference between patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction (14.9 vs. 19.9%, p=0.243). However, patients with preserved ejection fraction were less likely to experience a readmission for heart failure at one year (13.9 vs. 29.3%, p=0.002).
Conclusions
results of the analysis showed that Central Asian patients are relatively young, mostly male, with high prevalence of ischemic heart disease, and reduced ejection fraction, and lower rate of GDMT use and device therapy.

Abstract
Histopathology as a diagnostic mainstay for tissue evaluation is strictly a 2D technology. Combining and supplementing this technology with 3D imaging has been proposed as one future avenue towards refining comprehensive tissue analysis. To this end, we have developed a laboratory-based X-ray method allowing for the investigation of tissue samples in three dimensions with isotropic volume information. To assess the potential of our method for micro-morphology evaluation, we selected several kidney regions from three patients with cystic kidney disease, obstructive nephropathy and diabetic glomerulopathy. Tissue specimens were processed using our in-house-developed X-ray eosin stain and investigated with a commercial microCT and our in-house-built NanoCT. The microCT system provided overview scans with voxel sizes of [Formula: see text] and the NanoCT was employed for higher resolutions including voxel sizes from [Formula: see text] to 210 nm. We present a methodology allowing for a precise micro-morphologic investigation in three dimensions which is compatible with conventional histology. Advantages of our methodology are its versatility with respect to multi-scale investigations, being laboratory-based, allowing for non-destructive imaging and providing isotropic volume information. We believe, that after future developmental work this method might contribute to advanced multi-modal tissue diagnostics.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Blood pressure (BP) is regulated by plasma metabolites from different neurohumoral and cardiometabolic systems. Since there are established differences in hypertension pathogenesis and treatment response between ethnicities, we hypothesized that plasma metabolites may be differently associated with BP across ethnic groups.
Purpose
To investigate associations between plasma metabolite profiles and BP in a multi-ethnic population-based cohort.
Methods
From the Healthy Living In an Urban Setting (HELIUS) study, 369 subjects (mean age 52±11 years, 51%F) of African and non-African descent were included. Office systolic (136±21 mmHg) and diastolic (83±12 mmHg) BP levels were recorded. Plasma metabolites were measured semi-quantitively with LC-MS (Metabolon) from fasting plasma samples. Associations between metabolite profiles and BP were assessed with machine learning prediction models using the XGBoost algorithm with nested cross-validation. Associations between the resulting best predictors and BP were assessed with linear regression models while adjusting for age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate and diabetes.
Results
Plasma metabolite profiles explained 14.1% of systolic BP variance and 10.6% of diastolic BP variance. These were attenuated to 3.1% and 1.4% respectively, when using residuals of BP after adjusting for age and sex. Top predictors for both systolic and diastolic BP included N-formylmethionine, several acylcarnitines and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as hexadecadienoate. These metabolites were significantly associated with higher systolic BP with estimates ranging from 3.0 to 4.5 mmHg per 1 SD increase in the adjusted models. Associations with hexadecadienoate, dihomolinoleate and catecholamine metabolites, including vanillactate had significant interactions (p<0.05) with ethnicity, and were only significant in subjects of non-African descent.
Conclusions
Plasma metabolome composition explained a large proportion of BP variance, but this association was attenuated when adjusting for confounders. Polyunsaturated fatty acids and catecholamine metabolites were only associated with BP in the non-African descent subjects. N-formylmethionine was the most consistent predictor for systolic BP across all subgroups. Future studies could focus on translating these findings in vitro in order to decipher the role of N-formylmethionine in BP regulation.

Abstract
Upon Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) lytic reactivation, rapid and widespread amplification of viral DNA (vDNA) triggers significant nuclear reorganization. As part of this striking shift in nuclear architecture, viral replication compartments are formed as sites of lytic vDNA production along with remarkable spatial remodeling and the relocalization of cellular and viral proteins. These viral replication compartments house several lytic gene products that coordinate viral gene expression, vDNA replication, and nucleocapsid assembly. The viral proteins and mechanisms that regulate this overhaul of the nuclear landscape during KSHV replication remain largely unknown. KSHV's ORF20 is a widely conserved lytic gene among all herpesviruses, suggesting it may have a fundamental contribution to the progression of herpesviral infection. Here, we utilized a promiscuous biotin ligase proximity labeling method to identify the proximal interactome of ORF20, which includes several replication-associated viral proteins, one of which is ORF59, the KSHV DNA processivity factor. Using coimmunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays, we confirmed the interaction between ORF20 and ORF59 and tracked the localization of both proteins to KSHV replication compartments. To further characterize the function of ORF20, we generated an ORF20-deficient KSHV and compared its replicative fitness to that of wild-type virus. Virion production was significantly diminished in the ORF20-deficient virus as observed by supernatant transfer assays. Additionally, we tied this defect in viable virion formation to a reduction in viral late gene expression. Lastly, we observed an overall reduction in vDNA replication in the ORF20-deficient virus, implying a key role for ORF20 in the regulation of lytic replication. Taken together, these results capture the essential role of KSHV ORF20 in progressing viral lytic infection by regulating vDNA replication alongside other crucial lytic proteins within KSHV replication compartments. IMPORTANCE Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a herpesvirus that induces lifelong infection, and as such, its lytic replication is carefully controlled to allow for efficient dissemination from its long-term reservoir and for the spread of the virus to new hosts. Viral DNA replication involves many host and viral proteins, coordinating both in time and space to successfully progress through the viral life cycle. Yet, this process is still not fully understood. We investigated the role of the poorly characterized viral protein ORF20, and through proximity labeling, we found that ORF20 interacts with ORF59 in replication compartments and affects DNA replication and subsequent steps of the late viral life cycle. Collectively, these results provide insights into the possible contribution of ORF20 to the complex lytic DNA replication process and suggest that this highly conserved protein may be an important modulator of this key viral mechanism.

Abstract
PURPOSE We studied EGFR mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and explored their role in predicting the progression-free survival (PFS) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with erlotinib or gefitinib. METHODS The L858R, T790M mutations and exon 19 deletions were quantified in plasma using digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). The dynamics of ctDNA mutations over time and relationships with PFS were explored. RESULTS In total, 249 plasma samples (1-13 per patient) were available from 68 NSCLC patients. The T790M and L858R or exon 19 deletion were found in the ctDNA of 49 and 56% patients, respectively. The median (range) concentration in these samples were 7.3 (5.1-3688.7), 11.7 (5.1-12,393.3) and 27.9 (5.9-2896.7) copies/mL, respectively. Using local polynomial regression, the number of copies of EGFR mutations per mL increased several months prior to progression on standard response evaluation. CONCLUSION This change was more pronounced for the driver mutations than for the resistance mutations. In conclusion, quantification of EGFR mutations in plasma ctDNA was predictive of treatment outcomes in NSCLC patients. In particular, an increase in driver mutation copy number could predict disease progression.

Abstract
This work proposes the use of two physics-based models for wave attenuation to infer the microstructure of cortical bone-like structures. One model for ultrasound attenuation in porous media is based on the independent scattering approximation (ISA) and the other model is based on the Waterman Truell (WT) approximation. The microstructural parameters of interest are pore radius and pore density. Attenuation data are simulated for three-dimensional structures mimicking cortical bone using the finite-difference time domain package SimSonic. These simulated structures have fixed sized pores (monodisperse), allowing fine-tuned control of the microstructural parameters. Structures with pore radii ranging from 50 to 100 μm and densities ranging from 20 to 50 pores/mm3 are generated in which only the attenuation due to scattering is considered. From here, an inverse problem is formulated and solved, calibrating the models to the simulated data and producing estimates of pore radius and density. The estimated microstructural parameters closely match the values used to simulate the data, validating the use of both the ISA and WT approximations to model ultrasonic wave attenuation in heterogeneous structures mimicking cortical bone. Furthermore, this illustrates the effectiveness of both models in inferring pore radius and density solely from ultrasonic attenuation data.

Abstract
In delirium, there is an acute change of consciousness with fluctuations in attention, cognition and perception. Delirium can be provoked by medical conditions, or the use or withdrawal of drugs. Risk factors include older age and cognitive impairment. Delirium is associated with many complications, represents a significant emotional burden for the patient and caretakers, increases length of stay in the hospital, and causes higher health care costs. Non-pharmacological measurements can sometimes prevent delirium, and are essential for its treatment with proven effectiveness. Antipsychotics should be administered only as an exception, not as a rule. Antipsychotics may be of use when the patient puts himself or others in danger, or when he suffers substantially from hallucinations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gut microbiome composition is shaped by a combination of host genetic make-up and dietary habits. In addition, large ethnic differences exist in microbiome composition. Several studies in humans and animals have shown that differences in gut microbiota and its metabolites, including short chain fatty acids (SCFA), are associated with blood pressure (BP). We hypothesized that gut microbiome composition and its metabolites may be differently associated with BP across ethnic groups.
Purpose
To investigate associations of gut microbiome composition and fecal SCFA levels with BP across different ethnic groups.
Methods
We assessed the association between gut microbiome composition and office BP among 4672 subjects (mean age 49.8±11.7 years, 52%F) of 6 different ethnic groups participating in the HELIUS study. Gut microbiome composition was determined using 16S rRNA sequencing. Associations between microbiome composition and blood pressure were assessed using machine learning prediction models. The resulting best predictors were correlated with BP using Spearman's rank correlations. Fecal SCFA levels were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography in an age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched subgroup of 200 participants with either extreme low or high systolic BP. Differences in abundances of best predictors and fecal SCFA levels between high and low BP groups were assessed with Mann-Whitney U tests.
Results
Gut microbiome composition explained 4.4% of systolic BP variance. Best predictors for systolic BP included Roseburia spp. (ρ −0.15, p<0.001), Clostridium spp. (ρ −0.14, p<0.001), Romboutsia spp. (ρ −0.10, p<0.001), and Ruminococceae spp. (ρ −0.15, p<0.001) (Figure 1). Explained variance of the microbiome composition was highest in Dutch subjects (4.8%), but very low in African Surinamese, Ghanaian, and Turkish ethnic groups (ranging from 0–0.77%) Hence, we selected only participants with Dutch ethnicity for the matched subgroup. Participants with high BP had lower abundance of Roseburia hominis (p<0.01) and Roseburia spp. (p<0.05) compared to participants with low BP. However, fecal acetate (p<0.05) and propionate (p<0.01) levels were higher in participants with high BP.
Conclusions
In this cross-sectional study, gut microbiome composition was moderately associated with BP. Associations were strongly divergent between ethnic groups, with strongest associations in Dutch participants. Intriguingly, while Dutch participants with high BP had lower abundances of several SCFA-producing microbes, they had higher fecal SCFA levels. Intervention studies with SCFAs could provide more insight in the effects of these metabolites on BP.

Abstract
TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) and several other environment/food-borne toxic compounds induce their toxicity via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). AhR is also modulated by various endogenous ligands e.g. highly potent tryptophan (Trp)-derivative FICZ (6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole) and natural ligands abundant in the human diet e.g. polyphenols. Therefore, evaluating AhR species-specific responses is crucial for understanding AhR physiological functions, establishing risk assessments, and exploring the applicability of AhR mediators in drug and food industry towards human-based usages. We studied AhR transactivation of FICZ/TCDD in vitro in a time-dependent and species-specific manner using dioxin responsive luciferase reporter gene assays derived from rat (DR-H4IIE) and human (DR-HepG2) hepatoma cells. We observed for the first time that FICZ potency was similar in both cell lines and was 40 times higher than TCDD in DR-HepG2 cells. Depleting Trp-derivative endogenously produced ligands by using culture medium without Trp, resulted in 3-fold higher AhR activation upon adding FICZ in DR-H4IIE cells, in contrast to DR-HepG2 cells which revealed a fast degradation of FICZ induction from 10 h post-exposure to complete disappearance after 24 h. Seven polyphenols and a mixture thereof, chosen based on commercially recommended doses and adjusted to human realistic exposure, caused rat and human species-specific AhR responses. Two isoflavones (daidzein and genistein) induced rat AhR synergistic effects with FICZ and/or TCDD, while quercetin, chrysin, curcumin, resveratrol, and the mixture exerted a strong inhibitory effect on the human AhR. Strikingly, resveratrol and quercetin at their realistic nanomolar concentrations acted additively in the mixture to abolish human AhR activation induced by various TCDD concentrations. Taken together, these results illustrate the species-specific complexity of AhR transcriptional activities modulated by various ligands and highlight the need for studies of human-based approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity have been shown to increase during pregnancy and are a cause of obstetric comorbidity. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of interventions aiming to promote physical activity during pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Databases were searched from January 2008 to September 2019. Selection criteria included randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of interventions promoting physical activity during pregnancy. RESULTS In total, 256 articles were extracted from databases. 202 articles were excluded. Finally, 15 articles were included in the study. 5633 patients were included from various populations. Six studies rated physical activity (PA) as the primary outcome. Five studies suggested promoting physical activity through individual interviews which in two studies showed an increase in PA. Three studies evaluated an intervention based on group interviews and one of these reported a significant increase in PA. Two studies evaluated the use of a Smartphone application to promote physical activity but they did not conclude that they were effective because they were designed with low statistical power. CONCLUSION The practice of regular PA during pregnancy reduces obstetrical comorbidity. However, interventions seem to have a low impact on the promotion of PA during pregnancy. New intervention strategies need to assessed, such as the use of mobile health interventions.

Abstract
For fully characterizing renal cell carcinoma (RCC), information about the 3D tissue microstructure is essential. Histopathology, which represents the current diagnostic gold standard, is destructive and only provides 2D information. 3D X-ray histology endeavors to overcome these limitations by generating 3D data. In a laboratory environment, most techniques struggle with limited resolution and the weak X-ray attenuation contrast of soft tissue. We recently developed a laboratory-based method combining nanoscopic X-ray CT with a cytoplasm-specific X-ray stain. Here, we present the application of this method to human RCC biopsies. The NanoCT slices enable pathological characterization of crucial structures by reproducing tissue morphology with a similar detail level as corresponding histological light microscopy images. Beyond that, our data offer deeper insights into the 3D configuration of the tumor. By demonstrating the compatibility of the X-ray stain with standard pathological stains, we highlight the feasibility of integrating staining based NanoCT into the pathological routine.

Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays an important role in several biological processes such as reproduction, immunity and homoeostasis. However, little is known on the chemical-structural and physicochemical features that influence the activity of AhR antagonistic modulators. In the present report, in vitro AhR antagonistic activity evaluations, based on a chemical-activated luciferase gene expression (AhR-CALUX) bioassay, and an extensive literature review were performed with the aim of constructing a structurally diverse database of contaminants and potentially toxic chemicals. Subsequently, QSAR models based on Linear Discriminant Analysis and Logistic Regression, as well as two toxicophoric hypotheses were proposed to model the AhR antagonistic activity of the built dataset. The QSAR models were rigorously validated yielding satisfactory performance for all classification parameters. Likewise, the toxicophoric hypotheses were validated using a diverse set of 350 decoys, demonstrating adequate robustness and predictive power. Chemical interpretations of both the QSAR and toxicophoric models suggested that hydrophobic constraints, the presence of aromatic rings and electron-acceptor moieties are critical for the AhR antagonism. Therefore, it is hoped that the deductions obtained in the present study will contribute to elucidate further on the structural and physicochemical factors influencing the AhR antagonistic activity of chemical compounds.

Background
Platelets are known to be both pro-inflammatory and pro-mitogenic. However, the role of platelet-endothelial interactions in the initiation and growth of atherosclerotic lesions is not well understood.
Purpose
We used contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEU) molecular imaging of the arterial endothelium to test the hypothesis that platelet attachment to endothelial Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) promotes atherogenesis.
Methods
We studied wild-type mice (WT), low-density lipoprotein deficient mice fed western diet to produce atherosclerosis (LDLR-/-), and LDLR-/- mice also deficient for ADAMTS-13 (LDLR-/-ADAMTS13-/-) which is the enzyme responsible for proteolytic cleavage of endothelial-associated VWF. Mice were studied at 20 weeks and 30 weeks of age. A subset of LDLR-/- mice were treated with recombinant ADAMTS13 1 hr prior to study. Proximal aortic CEU molecular imaging of P-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, von Willebrand factor (VWF), and platelet GPIbα was performed. Aortic distensibility was assessed using high-frequency (30 MHz) transthoracic echocardiography and tail cuff blood pressure systems. NF-κB of aorta was assessed by ELISA kit. Plaque size and composition were assessed by histology. Platelets and macrophage immunohistochemistry were also performed on confocal microscopy.
Results
Aortic molecular imaging signal for P-selectin, VCAM-1, VWF, and platelet adhesion was significantly higher in LDLR-/- than WT mice, and increased by 2-fold between 20 and 30 wks of age. Signal for VWF and platelet adhesion was abolished 1 h after administration of ADAMTS13, confirming that platelet adhesion was VWF-mediated. At 20 and 30 wks of age, molecular imaging signal for all targets was 2-fold higher (p < 0.01) in LDLR-/-ADAMTS13-/- versus LDLR-/- mice. The LDLR-/-ADAMTS13-/- mice also had lower aortic distensibility (p < 0.05), had a 2-fold higher NF-κB signal (p < 0.05), and had a 2-fold greater total plaque area (p < 0.01). Fluorescent immunohistochemistry confirmed that the LDLR-/-ADAMTS13-/- mice also had greater platelets (p < 0.05) and increased macrophage content (p < 0.05) than LDLR-/- mice in aortic plaque.
Conclusion
In early to mid-stage atherosclerosis, abnormal regulation of endothelial-associated VWF results in platelet adhesion and secondary up-regulation of endothelial inflammatory adhesion molecules, thereby promoting atherosclerotic plaque progression. These results indicate an important role of platelet-endothelial interactions in early atherogenesis.

Abstract
While humans are exposed to mixtures of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), their risk assessment is usually based on a chemical-by-chemical approach. To assess the health effects associated with mixed exposures, knowledge on mixture toxicity is required. Several POPs are potential ligands of the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which involves in xenobiotic metabolism and controls many biological pathways. This study assesses AhR agonistic and antagonistic activities of 29 POPs individually and in mixtures by using Chemical-Activated LUciferase gene eXpression bioassays with 3 transgenic cell lines (rat hepatoma DR-H4IIE, human hepatoma DR-Hep G2 and human mammary gland carcinoma DR-T47-D). Among the 29 POPs, which were selected based on their abundance in Scandinavian human blood, only 4 exerted AhR agonistic activities, while 16 were AhR antagonists in DR-H4IIE, 5 in DR-Hep G2 and 7 in DR-T47-D when tested individually. The total POP mixture revealed to be AhR antagonistic. It antagonized EC50 TCDD inducing AhR transactivation at a concentration of 125 and 250 and 500 fold blood levels in DR-H4IIE, DR-T47-D and DR-Hep G2, respectively, although each compound was present at these concentrations lower than their LOEC values. Such values could occur in real-life in food contamination incidents or in exposed populations. In DR-H4IIE, the antagonism of the total POP mixture was due to chlorinated compounds and, in particular, to PCB-118 and PCB-138 which caused 90% of the antagonistic activity in the POP mixture. The 16 active AhR antagonists acted additively. Their mixed effect was predicted successfully by concentration addition or generalized concentration addition models, rather than independent action, with only two-fold IC50 underestimation. We also attained good predictions for the full dose-response curve of the antagonistic activity of the total POP mixture.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been linked to genitourinary health-related conditions such as decreased sperm quality, hypospadias, and prostate cancer (PCa). Conventional risk assessment of POPs focuses on individual compounds. However, in real life, individuals are exposed to many compounds simultaneously. This might lead to combinatorial effects whereby the global effect of the mixture is different from the effect of the single elements or subgroups. POP mixtures may act as endocrine disruptors via the androgen receptor (AR) and potentially contribute to PCa development. AIM To determine the endocrine disrupting activity of a POP mixture and sub-mixtures based upon exposure levels detected in a human Scandinavian population, on AR transactivation and translocation in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Total POP mixture combined 29 chemicals modelled on the exposure profile of a Scandinavian population and 6 sub-mixtures: brominated (Br), chlorinated (Cl), Cl + Br, perfluorinated (PFAA), PFAA + Br, PFAA + Cl, ranging from 1/10× to 500× relative to what is found in human blood. Transactivation was measured by reporter gene assay (RGA) and translocation activity was measured by high content analysis (HCA), each using stably transfected AR model cell lines. RESULTS No agonist activity in terms of transactivation and translocation was detected for any POP mixtures. In the presence of testosterone the Cl + Br mixture at 100× and 500× blood level antagonised AR transactivation, whereas the PFAA mixture at blood level increased AR transactivation (P < 0.05). In the presence of testosterone the Cl and PFAA + Br mixtures at 1/10×, 1×, and 50× blood level antagonised AR translocation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Taken together, some combinations of POP mixtures can interfere with AR translocation. However, in the transactivation assay, these combinations did not affect gene transactivation. Other POP combinations were identified here as modulators of AR-induced gene transactivation without affecting AR translocation. Thus, to fully evaluate the effect of environmental toxins on AR signalling, both types of assays need to be applied.

Abstract
The honeybush sensory wheel was revised, using a large sample set (n = 585) comprising of the major commercial Cyclopia species, i.e. C. intermedia, C. subternata and C. genistoides. Only positive and negative aroma attributes were included in the wheel. Chemicals were identified to serve as reference standards for the honeybush (Cyclopia spp.) lexicon. Similarly, chemical-based reference standards were identified for the rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) lexicon. From a comprehensive literature search and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses, chemicals were screened by an expert panel for their suitability in terms of typicality of the target aroma. Each chemical was evaluated in a 'base tea' and compared to a specific 'reference tea' exhibiting a high intensity of the target aroma. A total of 30 and 44 chemicals for rooibos and honeybush, respectively, were selected for validation by a trained panel. Descriptive sensory analysis was conducted to assign typicality and intensity scores for each chemical representing a target aroma attribute. Several chemicals were identified as suitable reference standards for the following aroma notes: isophorone ('rooibos-woody'), maltyl isobutyrate ('caramel'), cis-3-hexenol ('green grass'), 4-oxoisophorone ('seaweed') and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole ('musty/mouldy') for rooibos; and 2-acetyl-5-methylfuran ('woody'), levulinic acid ('fynbos-sweet'), maltyl isobutyrate ('caramel'), and 2-acetylpyrrole ('nutty') for honeybush.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) is a cardiovascular disease that is increasing by epidemic proportions, largely due to an aging society and therapeutic advances in disease management. Because heart failure is largely a cardiogeriatric syndrome, age-related syndromes such as frailty and cognitive impairment are common in heart failure patients.
Purpose
To assess the prevalence and determinants of frailty and cognitive impairment in a HF population ≥60 years of age.
Methods
Data from n=236 patients with HF (77±9 years; 43% female) visiting the heart-brain clinic in Amsterdam in 2018–2019. HF severity was evaluated by NT-proBNP and NYHA-classification. Frailty was assessed using Fried's frailty criteria, cognition using the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCa). Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate which variables were associated with frailty and cognitive impairment.
Results
Median (IQR) NT-proBNP was 2000 (876–3469) pmol/L, 38% of patients had NYHA III-IV. 51% of patients were pre-frail and 28% frail. 77% of the patients were (mildly) cognitive impaired. Age, NYHA-classification III-IV, NT-proBNP>2000 pmol/L and use of ≥10 drugs were associated with frailty; HR (95% CI): 2.0 (1.4–3.0) per 10 years, 3.4 (1.9–6.2), 1.8 (1.0–3.2) and 1.8 (1.4–3.3) respectively. Age was associated with cognitive impairment; HR (95% CI) 2.2 (1.4–3.6) per 10 years.
Figure 1
Conclusion(s)
Frailty affects almost a third of the patients with HF and is more prevalent in older patients and those with more severe HF. Screening for frailty and cognitive impairment should be part of the standard workup in older HF patients as frail and/or cognitively impaired HF patients are less likely to adhere to their HF treatment and more likely to be (re)admitted to hospital for HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved survival outcome of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, most patients do not benefit. Therefore, biomarkers are needed that accurately predict response. We hypothesized that molecular profiling of exhaled air may capture the inflammatory milieu related to the individual responsiveness to anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1) therapy. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of exhaled breath analysis at baseline for assessing nonresponders versus responders to anti-PD-1 therapy in NSCLC patients. METHODS This was a prospective observational study in patients receiving checkpoint inhibitor therapy using both a training and validation set of NSCLC patients. At baseline, breath profiles were collected in duplicate by a metal oxide semiconductor electronic nose (eNose) positioned at the rear end of a pneumotachograph. Patients received nivolumab or pembrolizumab of which the efficacy was assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 at 3-month follow-up. Data analysis involved advanced signal-processing and statistics based on independent t-tests followed by linear discriminant and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS Exhaled breath data of 143 NSCLC patients (training: 92, validation: 51) were available at baseline. ENose sensors contributed significantly (P < 0.05) at baseline in differentiating between patients with different responses at 3 months of anti-PD-1 treatment. The eNose sensors were combined into a single biomarker with an ROC-area under the curve (AUC) of 0.89 [confidence interval (CI) 0.82-0.96]. This AUC was confirmed in the validation set: 0.85 (CI 0.75-0.96). CONCLUSION ENose assessment was effective in the noninvasive prediction of individual patient responses to immunotherapy. The predictive accuracy and efficacy of the eNose for discrimination of immunotherapy responder types were replicated in an independent validation set op patients. This finding can potentially avoid application of ineffective treatment in identified probable nonresponders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dutch cardiovascular risk management guidelines state almost every older adult (≥70 years) is eligible for a lipid lowering drug (LLD). However, life expectancy, frailty or comorbidities may influence this treatment decision. OBJECTIVE investigate how many older adults, according to age, frailty (Drubbel-frailty index) and comorbidities were prescribed LLDs. METHODS data of 244,328 adults ≥70 years from electronic health records of 415 Dutch general practices from 2011-15 were used. Number of LLD prescriptions in patients with (n = 55,309) and without (n = 189,019) cardiovascular disease (CVD) was evaluated according to age, frailty and comorbidities. RESULTS about 69% of adults ≥70 years with CVD and 36% without CVD were prescribed a LLD. LLD prescriptions decreased with age; with CVD: 78% aged 70-74 years and 29% aged ≥90 years were prescribed a LLD, without CVD: 37% aged 70-74 years and 12% aged ≥90 years. In patients with CVD and within each age group, percentage of LLD prescriptions was 20% point(pp) higher in frail compared with non-frail. In patients without CVD, percentage of LLD prescriptions in frail patients was 11pp higher in adults aged 70-74 years and 40pp higher in adults aged ≥90 years compared to non-frail. Similar trends were seen in the analyses with number of comorbidities. CONCLUSION in an older population, LLD prescriptions decreased with age but-contrary to our expectations-LLD prescriptions increased with higher frailty levels.

Abstract
Objective Consistent with the aging population in the Western world, there is a growing number of elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the recommended reperfusion strategy in elderly patients; risk models to determine which of these patients are prone to have poor clinical outcomes are, however, essential. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between frailty and short-term mortality and PCI-related serious adverse events (SAE) in elderly patients. Methods All STEMI patients (aged ≥70 years) treated with primary PCI in 2013–2015 at the Leiden University Medical Centre were assessed. The Safety Management Programme (VMS) score was used to identify frail elderly patients. The primary endpoint was 30-day all-cause mortality; the secondary endpoint included 30-day clinical death, target vessel failure, major bleeding, contrast induced kidney insufficiency and stroke. Results A total of 206 patients were included (79 ± 6.4 years, 119 [58%] male). The VMS score was ≥1 in 28% of all cases. Primary and secondary endpoint rates were 5 and 23% respectively. VMS score ≥1 was an independent predictor for both 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR] 9.6 [95% confidence interval, CI 1.6–56.9] p-value = 0.013) and 30-day SAE (OR 2.9 [95% CI 1.1–7.9] p-value = 0.038). Conclusions VMS score for frailty is independently associated with short-term mortality and PCI-related SAE in elderly patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI. These results suggest that frailty in elderly patients is an important feature to measure and to be taken into account when developing risk models.

Abstract
Background Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia is a rare B-cell lymphoma. The gold standard treatment for Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia is an anti-CD20 antibody (rituximab) in combination with alkylating agents and dexamethasone. Treatment targeting the B-cell receptor such as ibrutinib (but not idelalisib) is currently approved for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. Case presentation We report a case of a 71-year-old white French man with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia who presented with acute renal failure and hyperviscosity syndrome. His Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia was refractory to first-line treatment with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone. Because of his hemorrhagic syndrome and medical history of recent myocardial infarction, we decided to treat him with idelalisib 150 mg twice daily instead of ibrutinib. We observed a very quick improvement in the patient’s clinical status without need for dose adjustment. Conclusion Our patient’s case provides the first evidence, to the best of our knowledge, that idelalisib may be an efficient treatment option for patients with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia complicated by anuric renal failure and in whom ibrutinib is contraindicated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare immunogenicity, reactogenicity and acceptability of high- and standard-dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (HDTIV, SDTIV) in 18- to 64-year-olds. METHODS We randomized 18- to 64-year-olds to HDTIV or SDTIV in two consecutive years. We collected serum on days 0 and 21, measured haemagglutination inhibition geometric mean titres (GMT) and compared seroconversion, day 21 titres, seroprotection, reactogenicity and acceptability. RESULTS Immunogenicity was evaluable in 42 of 47 2014 participants, all 33 both-year participants and 87 of 90 2015-only participants. First-dose HDTIV recipients experienced seroconversion more frequently than SDTIV recipients to A(H3N2) in 2014 (13/21, 62% vs. 4/21, 19%, p 0.01) and to all vaccine strains in 2015: (A(H1N1): 24/42, 57% vs. 15/59, 25%; A(H3N2): 42/42, 100% vs. 47/59, 80%; B: 25/42, 60% vs. 13/59, 22%; all p <0.01). Day 21 haemagglutination inhibition GMT were higher in first and two sequential-year HDTIV vs. SDTIV recipients: A(H1N1): GMT 749 and 768 vs. 384 (p <0.0001, p 0.002); A(H3N2): 1238 and 956 vs. 633 (p 0.0003, p 0.1); and B: 1113 and 1086 vs. 556 (p 0.0005, p 0.02). HDTIV was more reactogenic (local pain score 3 vs. 1 of 10 on day 0/1, p 0.0003), but recipients were equally willing to be revaccinated (HDTIV: 76/83 (92%); SDTIV: 76/80 (95%), p 0.54). The ratios of day 21 GMT in SDTIV recipients vaccinated in 0 to 4 prior years to those in SDTIV and HDTIV recipients vaccinated in 15 or more prior years were A(H1N1): 3.73 and 1.38; A(H3N2) 3.07 and 1.16; and B: 2.01 and 1.21. CONCLUSIONS HDTIV is more immunogenic and reactogenic and as acceptable as SDTIV in 18- to 64-year-olds.

Abstract
- Cerebral microbleeds are associated with a higher risk of intracerebral hemorrhage.- When microbleeds are detected, the possible underlying pathology should be considered; this includes cerebral amyloid angiopathy and other factors that increase the risk of haemorrhage, particularly hypertension. - No randomised trials have yet been conducted into haemorrhagic complications and cerebral infarctions in patients with microbleeds who take vitamin K antagonists. This means that it is not clear whether the intended prevention of cerebral infarctions outweighs the increased risk of haemorrhage associated with use of vitamin K antagonists by these patients.- When deciding whether or not an older patient should be given anticoagulants the following should be taken into consideration as well: comorbidities, polypharmacy, the risk of falls and the probability that the patient can be optimally titrated to vitamin K antagonists. - If there is an increased risk of intracerebral haemorrhage but anticoagulants are indicated, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) might be preferable to vitamin K antagonists in patients with a history of cerebral microbleeds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection of vulnerable older adults at the emergency department (ED) and implementation of targeted interventions to prevent functional decline may lead to better patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE To assess the level of agreement between four frequently used screening instruments: ISAR-HP, VMS, InterRAI ED Screener and APOP. METHODS Observational prospective cohort study in patients ≥ 70 years attending Dutch ED. RESULTS The prevalence of vulnerability ranged from 19% (APOP) to 45% (ISAR-HP). Overall there was a moderate agreement between the screening instruments (Fleiss Kappa of 0.42 (p<0.001)). CONCLUSION Depending on the screening instrument used, either only a small percentage or almost as many as half of the presenting patients will be eligible for targeted interventions, leading to large dissimilarities in working processes, resources and costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is a common clinical syndrome in older adults and is associated with an increased risk of poor health outcomes, e.g. falls, disability, hospitalization, and mortality. Nutritional status might be an important factor contributing to frailty. This study aims to describe the association between nutritional status and characteristics of frailty in patients attending a geriatric outpatient clinic. METHODS Clinical data was collected of 475 patients who visited the geriatric outpatient department of a Dutch hospital between 2005 and 2010. Frailty was determined by: incontinence, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), mobility, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). Nutritional status was represented by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and plasma concentrations of several micronutrients, whereby MNA< 17 indicated malnutrition and MNA 17-23.5 indicated risk of malnutrition. 'More frail' patients (≥3 frailty characteristics) were compared to 'less frail' patients (<3 frailty characteristics) with logistic regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex and other important covariates. RESULTS Of 404 patients with complete data, mean age (SD) was 80 (7) years and 34% was male. Prevalence of 'more frail' patients was 47%. Prevalence of malnutrition and risk of malnutrition was 16% and 56% respectively. Malnutrition and risk of malnutrition were both independently related to being 'more frail', with ORs (95% CI) of 8.1 [3.5-18.8] and 3.1 [1.7-5.5] respectively. This association was driven by functional decline (ADL, IADL and mobility) and depression (GDS), but not by cognitive impairment (MMSE). None of the micronutrient plasma concentrations were related to frailty. CONCLUSION In geriatric outpatients, malnutrition is independently related to having ≥3 frailty characteristics. Assessing nutritional status could prove usefulness in early clinical detection and prevention of frailty.
