Article Synopsis
- - Up to 350,000 patients over 65 in Denmark visit emergency departments annually, with 40% suffering from hyperosmolar dehydration (HD), which complicates existing health issues.
- - HD negatively impacts mortality, morbidity, cognitive and physical functions, and overall quality of life for elderly patients.
- - The review suggests the use of calculated serum osmolarity from standard blood samples as a diagnostic tool for HD, emphasizing that better recognition and treatment can enhance outcomes for older patients.
: Breast cancer is diagnosed in 2.3 million women each year and kills 685,000 (~30% of patients) worldwide. The prognosis for many breast cancer subtypes has improved due to treatments targeting the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).

- * Analysis of data from over 1 million forest plots and thousands of tree species shows that wood density varies significantly by latitude, being up to 30% denser in tropical forests compared to boreal forests, and is influenced mainly by temperature and soil moisture.
- * The research also finds that disturbances like human activity and fire alter wood density at local levels, affecting forest carbon stock estimates by up to 21%, emphasizing the importance of understanding environmental impacts on forest ecosystems.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the relationship between tree maturation size and reproduction, finding that larger tree species tend to start reproducing at a smaller size than expected, challenging previous assumptions.
- - Researchers analyzed seed production data from 486 tree species across different climates, revealing that maturation size increases with maximum size but not in a straightforward manner.
- - The results indicate that this trend is particularly pronounced in colder climates, highlighting the importance of understanding maturation size to better predict how forests will respond to climate change and disturbances.
Background: The implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols has resulted in improved postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery. The evidence regarding feasibility and impact on outcomes in surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is limited.
Methods: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study, comparing patient trajectories before and after implementing an IBD-specific ERAS protocol at Zealand University Hospital.
