A case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis associated with Crohn's disease Ghent University

Christi van Ommen, Jo Dehoorne, Frans De Baets, Saskia Vande Velde, Myriam Van Winckel, Stephanie Van Biervliet
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an auto-inflammatory bone disease of unknown etiology, most commonly affecting the metaphysis of long bones, especially the tibia, femur and clavicle. The clinical spectrum varies from self-limited uni-or multi-focal lesions to chronic recurrent courses. Diagnosis is based on clinical, radiologic and pathological findings, is probably under-diagnosed due to poor recognition of the disease. A ...

Prediction of recurrent event in patients with coronary heart disease Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University

Dirk De Bacquer, Peter Ueda, Željko Reiner, Johan De Sutter, Delphine De Smedt, Dragan Lovic, Nina Gotcheva, Zlatko Fras, Nana Pogosova, Erkin Mirrakhimov, et al.

AIMS: Most patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at very high risk for developing recurrent events. Since this risk varies a lot between patients there is a need to identify those in whom an even more intensive secondary prevention strategy should be envisaged. Using data from the EUROASPIRE IV and V cohorts of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients from 27 European countries, we aimed at developing and ...

Shortening arthrodesis combined with limited fasciectomy in severe recurrent Dupuytren's disease of the fifth finger Hasselt University

Bert VANMIERLO, Eduard Van Eecke, Arne Decramer, Tim VANMIERLO, Kjell Van Royen, Jean Goubau
Objective: Management of recurrent Dupuytren's disease of the little finger is challenging. Various treatment modalities have been proposed: external fixation, local skin flap, dermofasciectomy, or even amputation. An alternative surgical technique was introduced by Honecker et al. in 2016 and refined by Raimbeau et al. in 2019, consisting in resection of the middle phalanx and shortening arthrodesis. We modified the technique by combining ...

Estimation of recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular event risk in patients with established cardiovascular disease : the updated SMART2 algorithm Ghent University

Steven H J Hageman, Ailsa J McKay, Peter Ueda, Laura H Gunn, Tomas Jernberg, Emil Hagström, Deepak L Bhatt, Ph. Gabriel Steg, Kristi Läll, Reedik Mägi, et al.
Aims The 10-year risk of recurrent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events in patients with established ASCVD can be estimated with the Secondary Manifestations of ARTerial disease (SMART) risk score, and may help refine clinical management. To broaden generalizability across regions, we updated the existing tool (SMART2 risk score) and recalibrated it with regional incidence rates and assessed its performance in external ...

Non-invasive PET imaging of brain inflammation at disease onset predicts spontaneous recurrent seizures and reflects comorbidities Hasselt University University of Antwerp

Daniele Bertoglio, Jeroen Verhaeghe, Eva SANTERMANS, Halima Amhaoul, Elisabeth Jonckers, Leonie Wyffels, Annemie Van Der Linden, Niel HENS, Steven Staelens, Stefanie Dedeurwaerdere, et al.
Brain inflammation is an important factor in the conversion of a healthy brain into an epileptic one, a phenomenon known as epileptogenesis, offering a new entry point for prognostic tools. The development of anti-epileptogenic therapies to treat before or at disease onset is hampered by our inability to predict the severity of the disease outcome. In a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy we aimed to assess whether in vivo non-invasive imaging ...

Reirradiation of recurrent node-positive non-small cell lung cancer after previous stereotactic radiotherapy for stage I disease KU Leuven

Carsten Nieder, Dirk De Ruysscher, Laurie E Gaspar, Matthias Guckenberger, Minesh P Mehta, Patrick Cheung, Arjun Sahgal
BACKGROUND: Practice guidelines have been developed for early-stage and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, many common clinical scenarios still require individualized decision making. This is true for locoregional relapse after initial stereotactic radiotherapy (stereotactic body radiation therapy or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy; SBRT or SABR), an increasingly utilized curative treatment option for stage I ...

Founder effect in different European countries for the recurrent P392L SQSTM1 mutation in Paget's disease of bone Hasselt University KU Leuven University of Antwerp Ghent University

PYJ Chung, G Beyens, N Guanabens, S Boonen, S Papapoulos, M Karperien, M Eekhoff, L Van Wesenbeeck, K Jennes, Piet GEUSENS, et al.
Paget's Disease of Bone ( PDB) is one of the most frequent metabolic bone diseases, affecting 1 - 5% of Western populations older than 55 years. Mutations in the sequestosome1 (SQSTM1) gene cause PDB in about one-third of familial PDB cases and in 2.4 - 9.3% of nonfamilial PDB cases, with the 1215C -> T (P392L) mutation being the most frequent one. We investigated whether a founder effect of the P392L SQSTM1 mutation was present in Belgian (n ...

Prediction of recurrent disease by cytology and HPV testing after treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia Ghent University

Annelies Aerssens, Patricia Claeys, ELISABETH BEERENS, A Garcia, Steven Weyers, Lieve Van Renterghem, Marleen Praet, Marleen Temmerman, R Velasquez, Claude Cuvelier, et al.
Prediction of recurrent disease by cytology and HPV testing after treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia To assess the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and cytology as predictors of residual/recurrent disease after treatment of high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions. One hundred and thirty-eight women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2/3 lesion on biopsy were included in a prospective follow-up study in ...
