The Odense Child Cohort: aims, design, and cohort profile.

Background: The importance of the environment on the development of the fetus and infant throughout early life is increasingly recognised. To study such effects, biological samples and accurate data records are required. Based on multiple data collection from a healthy pregnant population, the Odense Childhood Cohort (OCC) study aims to provide new information about the environmental impact on child health by sequential follow-up to 18 years of age among children born between 2010 and 2012.

Uroflowmetry with simultaneous electromyography versus voiding video cystourethrography.

Objectives: Urethral dysfunction may lead to a deterioration of kidney function and be life-threatening. A thorough diagnosis of the pathophysiology is consequently vital to ensure the correct treatment is given.

Material And Methods: In this study, 34 adult patients suspected of a urethral etiology giving rise to urinary retention, urgency or chronic lower urinary tract infections were investigated by uroflowmetry with simultaneous electromyography and voiding video cystourethrography.

Optic neuritis is a common, well characterised condition that appears as an isolated syndrome or as a manifestation of multiple sclerosis. Several other diseases must be considered for a differential diagnosis.
