Phylogenomics recovers multiple origins of portable case making in caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera), nature's underwater architects.

Caddisflies (Trichoptera) are among the most diverse groups of freshwater animals with more than 16 000 described species. They play a fundamental role in freshwater ecology and environmental engineering in streams, rivers and lakes. Because of this, they are frequently used as indicator organisms in biomonitoring programmes.

Thrombosis Tendency After Splenectomy in a Danish Family With Hemoglobin Volga, and a Literature Review.

Hemoglobin (Hb) Volga is a rare, unstable β-chain hemoglobin variant (β27 Ala→Asp), causing chronic hemolytic anemia. This study presents two members of a Danish family, splenectomized due to Hb Volga at and with multiple thrombotic events. The proband was diagnosed with Hb Volga 9 years old and splenectomy was performed as a part of treatment.

Comprehensive phylogeny of Pieridae butterflies reveals strong correlation between diversification and temperature.

Temperature is thought to be a key factor influencing global species richness patterns. We investigate the link between temperature and diversification in the butterfly family Pieridae by combining next generation DNA sequences and published molecular data with fine-grained distribution data. We sampled nearly 600 pierid butterfly species to infer the most comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the family and curated a distribution dataset of more than 800,000 occurrences.

Protocol for a randomised controlled trial comparing warfarin with no oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation on chronic dialysis: the Danish Warfarin-Dialysis (DANWARD) trial.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is highly prevalent in patients on chronic dialysis. It is unclear whether anticoagulant therapy for stroke prevention is beneficial in these patients. Vitamin K-antagonists (VKA) remain the predominant anticoagulant choice.

HerediGene Population Study IT infrastructure: A model to support genomic research recruitment and precision public health.

The HerediGene Population Study is a large research study focused on identifying new genetic biomarkers for disease prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and development of new therapeutics. A substantial IT infrastructure evolved to reach enrollment targets and return results to participants. More than 170,000 participants have been enrolled in the study to date, with 5.
