Background: Malaria-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (MA-ARDS) is a lethal complication of severe malaria, characterized by marked pulmonary inflammation. Patient studies have suggested a link between von Willebrand factor (VWF) and malaria severity.

Objectives: To investigate the role of VWF in the pathogenesis of experimental MA-ARDS.

Methods: Plasmodium berghei NK65-E (PbNK65) parasites were injected in Vwf+/+ ...

The impact of intradialytic cycling on the removal of protein-bound uraemic toxins Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven Ghent University

Celine De Vos, Laure Lemarcq, Annemieke Dhondt, Griet Glorieux, Wim Van Biesen, Sunny Eloot

The evidence on impact of intradialytic exercise on the removal of urea, is conflictive. Impact of exercise on kinetics of serum levels of protein-bound uraemic toxins, known to exert toxicity and to have kinetics dissimilar of those of urea, has so far not been explored. Furthermore, if any effect, the most optimal intensity, time point and/or required duration of intradialytic exercise to maximise removal remain obscure. We therefore ...

Clinical features and outcomes of patients with type 2 myocardial infarction: Insights from the Thrombin Receptor Antagonist for Clinical Event Reduction in Acute Coronary Syndrome (TRACER) trial KU Leuven

Frans Van de Werf
BACKGROUND: Type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, leading to myocardial ischemia without coronary plaque rupture, but its diagnosis is challenging. METHODS: In the TRACER trial, patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes were included. We aimed to describe provoking factors, cardiac biomarker profiles, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes of ...
