Background And Purpose: We previously demonstrated positive effects on quality of life and mental health following breast cancer when comparing a nurse-led follow-up program without scheduled visits (MyHealth) to regular follow-up. This study aims to examine whether MyHealth also positively impacts self-reported work ability.
Patients/material And Methods: A total of 288 patients, potentially active on the labour market, were randomized to MyHealth or control follow-up after primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer (2017-2019).
Introduction: The clinical landscape for the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is rapidly evolving. As part of the FOUNTAIN platform (NCT05526157; EUPAS48148), we described and compared cohorts of adult patients with CKD and T2D initiating a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) before the launch of finerenone in Europe, Japan, and the United States (US).
Methods: This was a multinational, multi-cohort study of patients with T2D in five data sources: the Danish National Health Registers (DNHR) (Denmark), PHARMO Data Network (The Netherlands), Valencia Health System Integrated Database (VID) (Spain), Japan Chronic Kidney Disease Database Extension (J-CKD-DB-Ex) (Japan), and Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database (CDM) (US).

Article Synopsis
- - SAFE is a mobile app designed by and for individuals affected by self-harm, aiming to integrate it into Emergency Departments (ED) to enhance patient experiences and support medical professionals.
- - The study involved a Co-operative Inquiry, where nurses reflected on their experiences using SAFE, revealing that they saw its potential benefits but also felt uncertain about its application in the fast-paced ED setting.
- - The results suggest that while technology like SAFE could positively impact treatment, future digital tools should be developed collaboratively to meet the specific needs of users and healthcare providers effectively.
The aim of this paper was to study ethnic and socioeconomic (SEP) factors' association with provision and participation in a type 2 diabetes disease-management program. In 2016-21, 3464 persons were referred to type 2 diabetes management in Copenhagen municipality. Personalized plans included a mix of activities; program consultations, dietary education, telephone conversations, patient education, and physical training.

Aim: The objective of this study is to explore if a 24-week peer-mentor intervention increases initial and long-term CR attendance. Secondary aims are whether peer-mentor intervention improves lifestyle (diet and physical activity) and psychological outcomes (self-efficacy, anxiety, depression, and quality of life) among older vulnerable patients with ischemic heart disease.
