    Abstract Iron deficiency is known to aggravate the prognosis of patients with heart failure. Iron has functions in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In patients with reduced mitochondrial respiration, the mitochondrial ratio between the level of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and its reduced form decreases. Due to the mitochondrial-lysosomal interplay, decreased mitochondrial respiration also leads to inhibition of lysosomal hydrolysis. As a result, cobalamin and iron will be trapped in lysosomes. This will, even if iron and cobalamin have been consumed and absorbed in sufficient amounts, lead to their functional deficiencies.

    Abstract Important issues in the treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) are 1) to delay the time to symptomatic disease, 2) to reduce symptoms in case of symptomatic disease, 3) to optimize quality of life, and 4) to prolong overall survival. However, response assessment and recording of treatment-induced side effects in general get most attention. The likelihood of response to chemotherapy is directly proportional to the length of time between the end of primary chemotherapy and the date of recurrence. Also, the aggressiveness of the recurrence seems related to the prior biological pace of disease progression. For these reasons different disease categories have been identified, ie, platinum/taxane-refractory disease (progressive during first-line stabilization as best response), persistent disease (partial response to first-line therapy), platinum/taxane-resistant disease (clinical complete response [CCR] or no evidence of disease [NED] to/after first line and relapse <6 months), and platinum/taxane-sensitive disease (CCR or NED to/after first line and relapse >6 months). Randomized trials in these different categories did not show a benefit of maintenance or consolidation therapies after first-line therapy but did show differences in tolerability and efficacy (in platinum/taxane-sensitive disease) of different single agents and indicated that in specific circumstances combination chemotherapy is superior to single-agent chemotherapy. However, in all circumstances other aspects such as toxicity (and earlier experienced toxicity), clinical condition, convenience of administration, costs, and patient preference should be considered in the final selection of treatment.

    Abstract Purpose:  Vestibular implant electrode positioning close to the afferent nerve fibers is considered to be key for effective and selective electrical stimulation. However, accurate positioning of vestibular implant electrodes inside the semicircular canal ampullae is challenging due to the inability to visualize the target during the surgical procedure. This study investigates the accuracy of a new surgical protocol with real-time fluoroscopy and intraoperative CT imaging, which facilitates electrode positioning during vestibular implant surgery.
    Methods:  Single-center case-controlled cohort study with a historic control group at a tertiary referral center. Patients were implanted with a vestibulocochlear implant, using a combination of intraoperative fluoroscopy and cone beam CT imaging. The control group consisted of five patients who were previously implanted with the former implant prototype, without the use of intraoperative imaging. Electrode positioning was analyzed postoperatively with a high-resolution CT scan using 3D slicer software. The result was defined as accurate if the electrode position was within 1.5 mm of the center of the ampulla.
    Results: With the new imaging protocol, all electrodes could be positioned within a 1.5 mm range of the center of the ampulla. The accuracy was significantly higher in the study group with intraoperative imaging (21/21 electrodes) compared to the control group without intraoperative imaging (10/15 electrodes), (p = 0.008).
    Conclusion:  The combined use of intraoperative fluoroscopy and CT imaging during vestibular implantation can improve the accuracy of electrode positioning. This might lead to better vestibular implant performance.

    Abstract Background: A combined vestibular (VI) and cochlear implant (CI) device, also known as the vestibulocochlear implant (VCI), was previously developed to restore both vestibular and auditory function. A new refined prototype is currently being investigated. This prototype allows for concurrent multichannel vestibular and cochlear stimulation. Although recent studies showed that VCI stimulation enables compensatory eye, body and neck movements, the constraints in these acute study designs prevent them from creating more general statements over time. Moreover, the clinical relevance of potential VI and CI interactions is not yet studied. The VertiGO! Trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of prolonged daily motion modulated stimulation with a multichannel VCI prototype.
    Methods: A single-center clinical trial will be carried out to evaluate prolonged VCI stimulation, assess general safety and explore interactions between the CI and VI. A single-blind randomized controlled crossover design will be implemented to evaluate the efficacy of three types of stimulation. Furthermore, this study will provide a proof-of-concept for a VI rehabilitation program. A total of minimum eight, with a maximum of 13, participants suffering from bilateral vestibulopathy and severe sensorineural hearing loss in the ear to implant will be included and followed over a five-year period. Efficacy will be evaluated by collecting functional (i.e. image stabilization) and more fundamental (i.e. vestibulo-ocular reflexes, self-motion perception) outcomes. Hearing performance with a VCI and patient-reported outcomes will be included as well.
    Discussion: The proposed schedule of fitting, stimulation and outcome testing allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the feasibility and long-term safety of a multichannel VCI prototype. This design will give insights into vestibular and hearing performance during VCI stimulation. Results will also provide insights into the expected daily benefit of prolonged VCI stimulation, paving the way for cost-effectiveness analyses and a more comprehensive clinical implementation of vestibulocochlear stimulation in the future.
