Trials, Volume 25, Issue 1, 6 1 2024, Pages 303 Refraining from closed reduction of displaced distal radius fractures in the emergency department-in short: the RECORDED trial. Derksen BM, Jawahier PA, Wijers O, Knops SP, de Vries MR, van Hooff CCD, Verhofstad MHJ, Schep NWL
Background: With roughly 45,000 adult patients each year, distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures in the emergency department. Approximately 60% of all these fractures are displaced and require surgery. The current guidelines advise to perform closed reduction of these fractures awaiting surgery, as it may lead to post-reduction pain relief and release tension of the surrounding neurovascular structures. Recent studies have shown that successful reduction does not warrant co... Abstract
The Science of the total environment, 3 1 2024, Pages 172963 Greater difference between airborne and flower pollen chemistry, then between pollen collected across a pollution gradient in the Netherlands. de Weger LA, Verbeek C, Markey E, O'Connor D, Gosling WD
The prevalence in allergic diseases has increased considerably in the past decades. An important trigger of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is the pollen of wind-pollinating plants. This pollen develops in the flowers, and is released into the air where it gets exposed to environmental influences and air pollution. We investigated the chemical changes to pollen that occur after release from the flower in a rural (Veluwe) and an urban (Amsterdam) site in the Netherlands using Fourie... Abstract
Aorta (Stamford, Conn.), 2 1 2024 The Prevalence of Coronary Artery Disease in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Patients: An Overview of the Literature. Dolmaci OB, Hilhorst TL, Malekzadeh A, Mertens BJA, Klautz RJM, Poelmann RE, Grewal N
The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients is a debatable topic. Several studies have indicated that BAV patients have a lower prevalence of CAD compared with patients with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV), but the effects of age and gender have not always been considered. This systematic review provides an overview of articles which report on CAD in BAV and TAV patients. Searches were executed in April 2021 and January 2022 according to the PRISMA (Pre... Abstract
International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, Volume 52, 2 1 2024, Pages 101418 Coronary calcifications as assessed on routine non-gated chest CT; a gatekeeper to tailor downstream additional imaging in patients with stable chest pain. Groen RA, van Dijkman PRM, Jukema JW, Bax JJ, Lamb HJ, de Graaf MA
Background and aims: Currently applied methods for risk-assessment in coronary artery disease (CAD) often overestimate patients' risk for obstructive CAD. To enhance risk estimation, assessment of coronary artery calcium (CAC) can be applied. In 10 % of patients presenting with stable chest pain a previous non-gated computed tomography (CT) has been performed, suitable for CAC-assessment. This study is the first to investigate the clinical utility of CAC-assessment on non-gated CT for risk-... Abstract
