Aim: This study examines trends in paracetamol overdoses among Danish adolescents during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted using data from the national databases, covering all paediatric departments in Denmark from January 2016 to December 2023. Patients between 10 and 19 years of age diagnosed with paracetamol overdose were stratified by sex, age and number of hospital admissions.
Article Synopsis
- The study conducted in Denmark assessed the incidence of myopericarditis following the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination in adolescents aged 12-17 years.
- A total of 15 cases were identified among nearly 261,000 vaccinated individuals, resulting in a rate of 97 cases per million for males and 16 per million for females.
- The findings suggest that the rate of myopericarditis in males after vaccination is higher compared to similar data reported from the United States.
Background: Microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is an extracellular matrix protein belonging to the fibrinogen-related protein superfamily, which plays multifaceted roles in innate immunity and normal endothelial function. It has been proposed that MFAP4 promotes the development of asthma in vivo and proasthmatic pathways of bronchial smooth muscle cells in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of serum MFAP4 in adolescents and young adolescents with persistent asthma.

However, measurement of FC is limited by day-to-day-variation and by the feces consistency. Furthermore, adolescents are often noncompliant to deliver fecal sampling leading to suboptimal monitoring.
