Background: Outdoor music festivals (OMFs) attract large numbers of guests and benefit from the help of large numbers of volunteers. Studies have previously described the injury patterns at OMFs, but no studies have described the use of medication and sales from on-site pharmacies at a large OMF.
Method: The usage of medication and prescriptions in the Medical Health Care Organization (MHCO), including sales from the on-site pharmacy, at the Roskilde (Denmark) Festival 2015 were prospectively recorded.
Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark to analyze the presence of classical recreational drugs and new psychoactive substances (NPS) in urine samples from attendees to better understand drug use patterns at events.
- - Urine samples from 44 festival-goers were tested using advanced lab techniques, and a total of 77 drugs were detected, mainly traditional recreational drugs such as cocaine and MDMA, but no NPS were found.
- - The study aimed to compare the findings with previous drug seizure data to assess if the prediction of NPS use was possible, highlighting the challenges in tracking and managing new drug trends in recreational settings.
The chemokine receptor [C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)] is expressed on diverse immune effecter cells and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study sought to determine whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CCR5 gene and their haplotypes were associated with susceptibility to and severity of RA. Three hundred fifty-seven patients with RA and 383 healthy unrelated controls were recruited.

This study sought to delineate the association between the FCRL3 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to RA and to investigate the effects of the polymorphisms on the progression of joint destruction in RA. RA patients (n = 377) and healthy unrelated controls (n = 298) were recruited.
