    Abstract Loss-of-function variants of SCN5A, encoding the sodium channel alpha subunit Nav1.5 are associated with high phenotypic variability and multiple cardiac presentations, while underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here we investigated a family with individuals affected by Brugada Syndrome (BrS) of different severity and aimed to unravel the underlying genetic and electrophysiological basis.Next-generation sequencing was used to identify the genetic variants carried by family members. The index patient, who was severely affected by arrhythmogenic BrS, carried previously uncharacterized variants of Nav1.5 (SCN5A-G1661R) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-1-like protein (GPD1L-A306del) in a double heterozygous conformation. Family members exclusively carrying SCN5A-G1661R showed asymptomatic Brugada ECG patterns, while another patient solely carrying GPD1L-A306del lacked any clinical phenotype.To assess functional mechanisms, Nav1.5 channels were transiently expressed in HEK-293 cells in the presence and absence of GPD1L. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed loss of sodium currents after homozygous expression of SCN5A-G1661R, and reduction of current amplitude to ~ 50% in cells transfected with equal amounts of wildtype and mutant Nav1.5. Co-expression of wildtype Nav1.5 and GPD1L showed a trend towards increased sodium current amplitudes and a hyperpolarizing shift in steady-state activation and -inactivation compared to sole SCN5A expression. Application of the GPD1L-A306del variant shifted steady-state activation to more hyperpolarized and inactivation to more depolarized potentials.In conclusion, SCN5A-G1661R produces dysfunctional channels and associates with BrS. SCN5A mediated currents are modulated by co-expression of GDP1L and this interaction is altered by mutations in both proteins. Thus, additive genetic burden may aggravate disease severity, explaining higher arrhythmogenicity in double mutation carriers.

    Abstract Background: Few studies address the appropriate duration of post-surgical antibiotic therapy for orthopedic infections; with or without infected residual implants. We perform two similar randomized-clinical trials (RCT) to reduce the antibiotic use and associated adverse events.
    Methods: Two unblinded RCTs in adult patients (non-inferiority with a margin of 10%, a power of 80%) with the primary outcomes "remission" and "microbiologically-identical recurrences" after a combined surgical and antibiotic therapy. The main secondary outcome is antibiotic-related adverse events. The RCTs allocate the participants between 3 vs. 6 weeks of post-surgical systemic antibiotic therapy for implant-free infections and between 6 vs. 12 weeks for residual implant-related infections. We need a total of 280 episodes (randomization schemes 1:1) with a minimal follow-up of 12 months. We perform two interim analyses starting approximately after 1 and 2 years. The study approximatively lasts 3 years.
    Discussion: Both parallel RCTs will enable to prescribe less antibiotics for future orthopedic infections in adult patients.

    Abstract Emerging from the development of single-energy Computed Tomography (CT) and Dual-Energy Computed Tomography, Multi-Energy Computed Tomography (MECT) is a promising tool allowing advanced material and tissue decomposition and thereby enabling the use of multiple contrast materials in preclinical research. The scope of this work was to evaluate whether a usual preclinical micro-CT system is applicable for the decomposition of different materials using MECT together with a matrix-inversion method and how different changes of the measurement-environment affect the results. A matrix-inversion based algorithm to differentiate up to five materials (iodine, iron, barium, gadolinium, residual material) by applying four different acceleration voltages/energy levels was established. We carried out simulations using different ratios and concentrations (given in fractions of volume units, VU) of the four different materials (plus residual material) at different noise-levels for 30 keV, 40 keV, 50 keV, 60 keV, 80 keV and 100 keV (monochromatic). Our simulation results were then confirmed by using region of interest-based measurements in a phantom-study at corresponding acceleration voltages. Therefore, different mixtures of contrast materials were scanned using a micro-CT. Voxel wise evaluation of the phantom imaging data was conducted to confirm its usability for future imaging applications and to estimate the influence of varying noise-levels, scattering, artifacts and concentrations. The analysis of our simulations showed the smallest deviation of 0.01 (0.003-0.15) VU between given and calculated concentrations of the different contrast materials when using an energy-combination of 30 keV, 40 keV, 50 keV and 100 keV for MECT. Subsequent MECT phantom measurements, however, revealed a combination of acceleration voltages of 30 kV, 40 kV, 60 kV and 100 kV as most effective for performing material decomposition with a deviation of 0.28 (0-1.07) mg/ml. The feasibility of our voxelwise analyses using the proposed algorithm was then confirmed by the generation of phantom parameter-maps that matched the known contrast material concentrations. The results were mostly influenced by the noise-level and the concentrations used in the phantoms. MECT using a standard micro-CT combined with a matrix inversion method is feasible at four different imaging energies and allows the differentiation of mixtures of up to four contrast materials plus an additional residual material.
