    Abstract Objectives: Vitamin K deficiency consistently associates with worse clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients. However, whether this is due to increased expenditure during inflammation or poor vitamin K status prior to infection remained unknown.
    Methods: Dp-ucMGP levels of 128 individuals were measured for the post-MONICA study and were compared to SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing results.
    Results: Dp-ucMGP levels prior to COVID-19 infection were not significantly different comparing PCR-negative, PCR-positive and not hospitalized, and PCR-positive and hospitalized patients.
    Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrate normal vitamin K status prior to infection in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, supporting the theory of increased utilisation during disease.

    Abstract Background: Pathology during COVID-19 infection arises partly from an excessive inflammatory response with a key role for interleukin (IL)-6. Both vitamin D and K have been proposed as potential modulators of this process.
    Methods: We assessed vitamin D and K status by measuring circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and desphospho-uncarboxylated Matrix Gla-Protein (dp-ucMGP), respectively in 135 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in relation to inflammatory response, elastic fiber degradation and clinical outcomes.
    Results: Comparing good and poor disease outcomes of COVID-19 patients, vitamin 25(OH)D levels were not significantly different. IL-6 levels, however, were significantly higher in patients with poor outcome, compared to patients with good outcome (30.3 vs. 153.0 pg/mL;
    Conclusions: Dp-ucMGP associates with IL-6 as a central component of the destructive inflammatory processes in COVID-19. An intervention trial may provide insight whether vitamin K administration, either or not in combination with vitamin D, improves clinical outcome of COVID-19.

    Abstract Introduction: The European Medicine Agency has authorized COVID-19 vaccination in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) from 12 years onwards. In elderly vitamin K antagonist (VKA) users, COVID-19 vaccination has been associated with an increased risk of supra- and subtherapeutic INRs. Whether this association is also observed in AYAs using VKA is unknown. Our aim was to describe the stability of anticoagulation after COVID-19 vaccination in AYA VKA users.
    Materials and methods: A case-crossover study was performed in a cohort of AYAs (12-30 years) using VKAs. The most recent INR results before vaccination, the reference period, were compared with the most recent INR after the first and, if applicable, second vaccination. Several sensitivity analyses were performed in which we restricted our analysis to stable patients and patients without interacting events.
    Results: 101 AYAs were included, with a median age [IQR] of 25 [7] years, of whom 51.5 % were male and 68.3 % used acenocoumarol. We observed a decrease of 20.8 % in INRs within range after the first vaccination, due to an increase of 16.8 % in supratherapeutic INRs. These results were verified in our sensitivity analyses. No differences were observed after the second vaccination compared to before and after the first vaccination. Complications after vaccination occurred less often than before vaccination (9.0 vs 3.0 bleedings) and were non-severe.
    Conclusions: the stability of anticoagulation after COVID-19 vaccination was decreased in AYA VKA users. However, the decrease might not be clinically relevant as no increase of complications nor significant dose adjustments were observed.

    Abstract: ... vitamin K antagonists (VKAs).: Methods:  A case-crossover study was performed in a cohort of outpatient ...

    Abstract Background:  In January 2021, the Dutch vaccination program against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was started. Clinical studies have shown that systemic reactions occur in up to 50% of vaccine recipients. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination could affect anticoagulation control, potentially leading to an increased risk of thrombotic events and bleeding complications.
    Aims:  This article investigates whether the BNT162b2 vaccine affects anticoagulation control in outpatients using vitamin K antagonists (VKAs).
    Methods:  A case-crossover study was performed in a cohort of outpatient VKA users from four Dutch anticoagulation clinics who received a BNT162b2 vaccine. International normalized ratio (INR) results and VKA dosages before the first vaccination, the reference period, were compared with those after the first and second vaccination.
    Results:  A total of 3,148 outpatient VKA users were included, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 86.7 (8.7) years, of whom 43.8% were male, 67.0% used acenocoumarol, and 33.0% phenprocoumon. We observed a decrease of 8.9% of INRs within range in the standard intensity group (target INR 2.0-3.0). There was both an increased risk of supratherapeutic (odds ratio [OR] = 1.34 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-1.67]) and subtherapeutic levels (OR = 1.40 [95% CI 1.08-1.83]) after first vaccination. In the high-intensity group (target INR 2.5-3.5), the risk of a supratherapeutic INR was 2.3 times higher after first vaccination (OR = 2.29 [95% CI 1.22-4.28]) and 3.3 times higher after second vaccination (OR = 3.25 [95% CI 1.06-9.97]).
    Conclusion:  BNT162b2 was associated with an immediate negative effect on anticoagulation control in patients treated with VKAs, so it is advisable to monitor the INR shortly after vaccination, even in stable patients.

    Abstract: ... Effectoromics leads to precise identification of plants with target PRRs, and subsequent RLP/K enrichment ...

    Abstract The identification of immune receptors in crop plants is time-consuming but important for disease control. Previously, resistance gene enrichment sequencing (RenSeq) was developed to accelerate mapping of nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing (NLR) genes. However, resistances mediated by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) remain less utilized. Here, our pipeline shows accelerated mapping of PRRs. Effectoromics leads to precise identification of plants with target PRRs, and subsequent RLP/K enrichment sequencing (RLP/KSeq) leads to detection of informative single nucleotide polymorphisms that are linked to the trait. Using Phytophthora infestans as a model, we identified Solanum microdontum plants that recognize the apoplastic effectors INF1 or SCR74. RLP/KSeq in a segregating Solanum population confirmed the localization of the INF1 receptor on chromosome 12, and led to the rapid mapping of the response to SCR74 to chromosome 9. By using markers obtained from RLP/KSeq in conjunction with additional markers, we fine-mapped the SCR74 receptor to a 43-kbp G-LecRK locus. Our findings show that RLP/KSeq enables rapid mapping of PRRs and is especially beneficial for crop plants with large and complex genomes. This work will enable the elucidation and characterization of the nonNLR plant immune receptors and ultimately facilitate informed resistance breeding.

    Abstract De monitoring van het agrarisch richt zich tot dusver met name op het in beeld brengen van de abundantie (aantallen) van de doelsoorten. Het primaire effect van het agrarisch natuurbeheer is evenwel de beïnvloeding van de habitatkwaliteit. Deze veranderde habitatkwaliteit vertaalt zich op termijn als het goed is in een verandering van de abundantie van de doelsoorten. Om snel zicht te krijgen op de effectiviteit van het beheer is monitoring van de habitatkwaliteit daarom noodzaak. In dit project is een start gemaakt met de ontwikkeling van een systematiek waarmee de habitatkwaliteit kan worden gemonitord, op basis van metingen in het veld en kaartmateriaal. Voor 4 doelsoorten (grutto, ringmus, veldleeuwerik en grote modderkruiper) is een praktijkhandleiding ontwikkeld, die vervolgens is getest in het veld door vrijwilligers en experts. Daarbij is een uiteenlopendeset van habitatkenmerken op gestandaardiseerde wijze gemeten. Uit de evaluatie bleek dat de methodiek goed toepasbaar is en het benodigde kennisniveau voor het uitvoeren van de metingen relatief laag is. De resultaten van de metingen komen op hoofdlijnen goed overeen met het beeld van betrokken deskundigen en vrijwilligers. Verbetermogelijkheden liggen bij 1) de ontwikkeling van een GIStool waarmee overzichten van habitateisen voor een gebied naar keuze kunnen worden gemaakt, 2) verkenning van mogelijkheden voor het gebruik van van remote sensing, bijvoorbeeld voor het inventariseren en classificeren van landschapselementen, 3) het vinden van de juiste (betrouwbaar en toegankelijk) methodiek voor het meten van de insectenstand als voedselbron voor boerenlandvogels en 4) een oplossing voor moeilijk kwantificeerbare habitatkenmerken zoals de ruimtelijke samenhang van verschillende habitatonderdelen. Zodra operationalisering aan de orde komt dient te worden verkend of kan worden aangesloten op de ICT hulpmiddelen die momenteel door de vrijwilligers wordt gebruikt, zodat metingen direct in het veld kunnen worden ingevoerd en gekoppeld aan een beheereenheid.

    Abstract Vitamin K prophylaxis in infancy aims to prevent life-threatening vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB). The Dutch prophylactic oral daily regimen was increased sixfold from 25 to 150 μg because of a high failure rate. To evaluate the efficacy of this new regimen, incidences of intracranial VKDB under both regimens were compared using both general and targeted surveillance. Late VKDB in the general pediatric population was identified by the Netherlands Pediatric Surveillance Unit, between 1 October 2014 and 31 December 2016. Additionally, infants with intracranial vitamin K deficiency bleeding were identified using the Dutch Pediatric Intensive Care Evaluation registry. The incidence of intracranial VKDB as assessed by general and targeted surveillance decreased from 1.6 per 100,000 (95% CI, 0.4-5.1) to 1.3 per 100,000 (95% CI, 0.5-3.2) and from 3.1 per 100,000 live births (95% CI, 1.9-5.0) to 1.2 per 100,000 live births (95% CI, 0.6-2.3), respectively. Median time between consecutive cases in the latter increased from 24 to 154 days (p < 0.001).Conclusion: A sixfold increase in oral vitamin K prophylaxis was associated with a surprisingly modest reduction in the incidence of intracranial VKDB, indicating that factors other than the dose need addressing to improve efficacy. What is Known: • The efficacy of intramuscular vitamin K prophylaxis is threatened by an increasing number of parents opting out. • Oral prophylaxis represents an attractive and less invasive alternative but is inferior, especially in infants with malabsorption of vitamin K due to cholestasis. What is New: • Increasing the daily oral dose of vitamin K sixfold had a surprisingly modest effect on the incidence of late vitamin K deficiency bleeding. • This finding indicates that factors other than the dose must play an important role.

    Abstract Background: To encourage people to lead healthier lifestyles, governments in many countries publish guidelines for alcohol intake, physical activity (PA), and fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. However, there is a need for better understanding of whether people understand such guidelines, consider them useful, and adhere to them. University students are a group worthy of attention because although they are less likely than older adults to exceed U.K. weekly alcohol intake guidelines or to be inactive, they are also less likely to meet FV consumption targets. Furthermore, because behavior during youth predicts adult behavior, it is important to identify influences on healthier behavior.
    Method: An online survey was completed by 559 U.K. university students. Key outcome variables were knowledge of guidelines, motivation to adhere to them, and adherence to them.
    Results: A total of 72% adhered to guidelines for alcohol intake, 58% for PA, and 20% for FV intake. Students generally had poor or moderate knowledge of guidelines, perceived them as only moderately useful, and were only moderately motivated to adhere to them. Greater motivation to adhere to guidelines was not significantly related to more accurate knowledge. However, it was related to greater familiarity, and perceiving guidelines as useful and realistic, and greater conscientiousness.
    Discussion: There is a need to ensure that students understand the U.K. guidelines for alcohol intake, PA, and FV intake. However, simply increasing knowledge may not lead to greater adherence to the guidelines: There is also a need to focus on improving perceptions of how useful and realistic they are.
