Background: The purpose of this interview study was to explore patients' and general practitioners' (GPs') experiences of space, time, and presence in video consultation in general practice in Denmark.
Methods: The study included six GPs and seven patients from the Copenhagen area, with different experience of video consultations. The data consisted of semi-structured interviews with all participants including recordings from their video consultations.
Objective: To explore possible challenges to General Practitioners' (GPs') interpersonal contact with patients in video consultations (VCs), and learn how they change their communication strategies to carry out medical work in a setting with altered sensory conditions.
Design, Setting, Subjects: The study included 6 GPs from the Copenhagen area, with different levels of experience of VC. The data consist of 6 interviews with GPs, held in 2021-2022.
Objective: To analyse the mechanisms at play in the adjudications made by professionals and socially vulnerable patients with type 2 diabetes about their eligibility for care.
Design, Setting And Subjects: The study included 14 patients and 10 health professionals in seven general practice surgeries in deprived areas in Greater Copenhagen. The study data consist of 17 semi-structured interviews with patients and 22 with health professionals immediately after observation of 23 consultations.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed various spheres of health care. General practitioners (GPs) have widely replaced face-to-face consultations with telephone or video consultations (VCs) to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Using VCs for health service delivery is an entirely new way of practicing for many GPs.

- - Inflammatory cytokines contribute to β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis in diabetes, but lysine deacetylase inhibitors (KDACi), like Givinostat, show promise in preventing this cell failure by reducing inflammatory activity, particularly involving NF-κB.
- - Researchers studied how KDACi might regulate microRNAs (miRs) to protect β-cells, identifying 13 miRs affected by both cytokines and KDACi, with a focus on miR-146a-5p, which showed a strong response to these treatments and was linked to reduced cytokine signaling.
- - The expression of miR-146a-5p was found to be elevated in diabetes-prone models, indicating its potential
