Objectives: Blocking interleukin (IL)-6-receptor with tocilizumab has been a major advance in the treatment of giant-cell arteritis (GCA), supporting a crucial role of IL-6 receptor signalling. However, nearly half of the patients are not able to maintain glucocorticoid- free remission with tocilizumab. The impact of tocilizumab on vascular lesions of GCA is largely unknown since conflicting results have been obtained by imaging.

This updated Heart Valve Collaboratory framework addresses the growing concern for transcatheter valve failure (TVF) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). With the increasing volume of redo-TAV and surgical TAV explantation, there is a critical need for standardized pathways and protocols for evaluating TVF using echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography. This document clarifies prior definitions of bioprosthetic valve deterioration and bioprosthetic valve failure in a practical, imaging directed context for TAVR.

Background: The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), a questionnaire designed for the assessment of mental well-being, is widely used in different countries and cultures worldwide. However, there is a lack of studies examining its metric performance and measurement invariance across countries.
Objective: This study aims to examine the internal structure, reliability and cross-country validity of the WEMWBS in three European populations.

Background: To investigate the relationship between changes in residential neighbourhood walkability and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence in adults.
Methods: Using data from Statistics Netherlands we included all Dutch residents aged 40 or older at baseline (2009), without a history of CVD, and who did not move house after baseline (n = 3,019,069). A nationwide, objectively measured walkability index was calculated for Euclidean buffers of 500m around residential addresses for the years 1996, 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2008.
