    Title translation Vaccination of immunocompromised patients: when and when not to vaccinate.
    Abstract Immunocompromised individuals are at increased risk of infectious diseases and their complications. The main examples of these are pneumococcal disease and influenza, infections that are both vaccine-preventable. However, responses to vaccination are often impaired in immunocompromised patients. In addition, live-attenuated vaccines, including the measles-mumps-rubella and yellow fever vaccine, cannot be administered to these patients for safety reasons. In view of the decreasing herd immunity caused by a drop in global vaccination coverage, immunocompromised individuals are at increased risk of infections such as measles, especially during travel abroad. Despite these developments, the improved quality of life resulting from novel treatment options means that immunocompromised patients are travelling more and further than ever. It is the responsibility of the treating physician of the immunocompromised individual to ensure that all the required vaccines are provided in time. To this end, the physician may also refer the patient to the general practitioner or travel clinic for the actual vaccination.

    Abstract Background: May 2022, several countries reported mpox outbreaks among men-who-have-sex-with-men. In the Netherlands, high-risk contacts were offered the third-generation smallpox vaccine as post-exposure-prophylaxis (PEP) within 4 but maximum 14 days after exposure. We investigated their PEP acceptance, timeliness of uptake and development of mpox for the region of the Public Health Service (PHS) Amsterdam.
    Methods: High-risk contacts identified during 20 May-22 July 2022 were included. Contacts were followed-up 21 days after exposure and classified as: no patient (no mpox symptoms or orthopoxvirus PCR-negative) or mpox patient (clinically suspected mpox or orthopoxvirus PCR-positive). We calculated time intervals between date of last exposure and first PHS consultation, PEP administration, and symptom onset.
    Results: Two-hundred-ninety contacts were at high-risk of mpox predominantly due to sexual and/or direct skin-skin contact (212/290, 73 %). First PHS consultation was a median of 5 (IQR 3, 7) days after exposure, at which point 26/290 (9 %) contacts were ineligible for PEP. 84 % (223/264) of contacts eligible for PEP, received PEP within a median of 6 (IQR 3, 8) days after exposure. Of 282 contacts (missing outcome n = 8) 38 (14 %) developed mpox a median of 7 (IQR 5, 12) days after exposure, of whom 50 % (19/38) developed mpox before their first PHS consultation. Among contacts eligible for PEP, 2/38 (5 %) unvaccinated and 16/218 (7 %) vaccinated contact developed mpox.
    Conclusions: PEP acceptance among contacts of mpox patients was high. However, PEP timeliness was inadequate. Half of contacts received PEP 6 or more days after exposure, and half of contacts who developed mpox had an onset prior to their first PHS consultation. Estimating PEP vaccine effectiveness is problematic due to the timeliness of PEP and the time it takes to generate vaccine-induced immunity. It is important to assess how PEP timeliness may improve and to promote pre-exposure vaccination to control mpox outbreaks.

    Abstract The ability to predict the consequences of our actions is imperative for the everyday success of our interactions. From negotiating an uneven surface, to mounting an immune response, we continually infer the limits of our body. The current investigation considered the impact that the inferred consequences of action has on the placement of limits. We hypothesised that the performance of individuals in a novel, sprint task would reflect both their ability to accurately detect changes in bodily arousal (Interoceptive Accuracy) and the inferred consequences associated with heightened arousal signals (Anxiety Sensitivity). We found that individuals who demonstrated accuracy associated with physiological arousal changes, and who showed a heightened fear of the consequences of arousal symptoms, modified their actions by decreasing their power output (mean Watts•kg-1) in a sprint task (ΔR2 = 0.19; F(1,34) = 19.87); p<0.001). These findings provide a basis for understanding the varying actions taken as we encounter bodily perturbation.

    Abstract Responses to sprint interval exercise (SIE) are hypothesized to be perceived as unpleasant, but SIE protocols are diverse, and moderating effects of various SIE protocol parameters on affective responses are unknown. We performed a systematic search to identify studies (up to 01/05/2021) measuring affective valence using the Feeling Scale during acute SIE in healthy adults. Thirteen studies involving 18 unique trials and 316 unique participant (142 women and 174 men) affective responses to SIE were eligible for inclusion. We received individual participant data for all participants from all studies. All available end-of-sprint affect scores from each trial were combined in a linear mixed model with sprint duration, mode, intensity, recovery duration, familiarization and baseline affect included as covariates. Affective valence decreased significantly and proportionally with each additional sprint repetition, but this effect was modified by sprint duration: affect decreased more during 30 s (0.84 units/sprint; 95% CI: 0.74-0.93) and 15-20 s sprints (1.02 units/sprint; 95% CI: 0.93-1.10) compared with 5-6 s sprints (0.20 units/sprint; 95% CI: 0.18-0.22) (both

    Abstract Introduction: Sprint-interval training has been shown to improve maximal oxygen uptake, in part through peripheral muscle adaptations that increase oxygen utilization. In contrast, the adaptations of central hemodynamic factors in this context remain unexplored.
    Purpose: The aim of the current study was to explore the effects of sprint-interval training on maximal oxygen uptake and central hemodynamic factors.
    Methods: Healthy men and women (n = 29; mean age, 27 ± 5 yr; height, 175 ± 8 cm; body mass, 72.5 ± 12.0 kg) performed 6 wk of sprint-interval training consisting of three weekly sessions of 10-min low-intensity cycling interspersed with 3 × 30-s all-out sprints. Maximal oxygen uptake, total blood volume, and maximal cardiac output were measured before and after the intervention.
    Results: Maximal oxygen uptake increased by 10.3% (P < 0.001). Simultaneously, plasma volume, blood volume, total hemoglobin mass, and cardiac output increased by 8.1% (276 ± 234 mL; P < 0.001), 6.8% (382 ± 325 mL; P < 0.001), 5.7% (42 ± 41 g; P < 0.001), and 8.5% (1.0 ± 0.9 L·min-1; P < 0.001), respectively. Increased total hemoglobin mass along with measures of body surface area had a significant impact on the improvements in maximal oxygen uptake.
    Conclusions: Six weeks of sprint-interval training results in significant increases in hemoglobin mass, blood volume, and cardiac output. Because these changes were associated with marked improvements in maximal oxygen uptake, we conclude that central hemodynamic adaptations contribute to the improvement in maximal oxygen uptake during sprint-interval training.

    Title translation Monkeypox, a new pandemic?
    Abstract Monkeypox (MPX) is a disease caused by the monkeypox virus. It is a viral zoonotic disease, endemic in Central and West Africa. Human-to-human spread also occurs and is a feature of the current global outbreak. As far as we know, exponential transmission during this outbreak is not related to changed viral characteristics but due to multiple high-risk contacts in a subset of people that have contracted the virus, so far almost exclusively affecting men who have sex with men (MSM). Appropriate public health measures and increased alertness of all health care providers is needed to increase case-finding and decrease transmission. There is a real chance of MPX to become endemic in large parts of the world.

    Abstract Immunosuppressive therapy increases the risk of pneumococcal disease. This risk can be mitigated by pneumococcal vaccination. The objective of this study was to investigate the immunogenicity of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), followed by the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), in adults with and without immunosuppressive therapy. We performed a prospective cohort study among adults using conventional immunomodulators (cIM), biological immunomodulators (bIM), combination therapy, and controls during 12 months. The primary outcome was seroprotection, defined as the proportion of patients with a postimmunization IgG concentration of ≥1.3 µg/mL for at least 70% (17/24) of the serotypes of PCV13 + PPSV23. We included 214 participants. For all 24 vaccine serotypes, IgG levels increased significantly in both treatment subgroups and controls, with peak seroprotection rates of 44% (combination therapy), 58% (cIM), 57% (bIM), and 82% (controls). By month 12, seroprotection had decreased to 24%, 48%, 39%, and 63%, respectively. Although pneumococcal vaccination with PCV13 + PPSV23 was immunogenic in all treatment groups, impaired vaccination responses were observed in patients using immunosuppressive medication. Apart from the obvious recommendation to administer vaccines before such medication is started, alternative vaccination strategies, such as additional PCV13 doses or higher-valent pneumococcal vaccines, should be investigated.

    Abstract Objectives: Exercise is an important part of disease management in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but adherence to current exercise recommendations is poor. Novel low-volume sprint interval training (SIT) protocols with total training time commitments of ≤30 min per week have been shown to improve cardiometabolic risk and functional capacity in healthy sedentary participants, but the efficacy of such protocols in the management of NAFLD remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to examine whether a low-volume SIT protocol can be used to improve liver function, insulin resistance, body composition, physical fitness, cognitive function and general well-being in patients with NAFLD.
    Methods: In the present study, 7 men and 2 women with NAFLD (age: 45 ± 8 y, BMI: 28.7 ± 4.1 kg·m
    Results: Walking speed during the walk test (+12%), estimated V̇O
    Conclusion: This study does not support the use of 6 weeks of a low volume SIT protocol involving twice-weekly sessions with 5-10 × 6-s 'all-out' cycle sprints as an intervention for NAFLD disease management.
