Unfavourable glucose metabolism is associated with functional somatic disorders. A cross-sectional general population-based study: The DanFunD study.

Objectives: Several studies have observed associations between unfavorable levels of blood glucose metabolic markers (i.e., fasting glucose, fasting insulin, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) and functional somatic disorder (FSD).

The Western Denmark Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Registry: A Review and Validation Study.

Purpose: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) procedures from single photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography imaging have been registered in the Western Denmark Heart Registry (WDHR) since 2017 as a sub-registry (WDHR-MPI). The aim was to review the content, quality, and research potential of the WDHR-MPI and assess the completeness and validity of its key variables.

Patients And Methods: Using the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR) as a reference, we calculated the completeness of procedure registration as the proportion of procedures registered in the WDHR-MPI from 2017 to 2021.

Heart rate variability is not associated with multiple chemical sensitivity in a cross-sectional population-based study - The Danish study of functional disorders.

Objective: Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), a functional somatic disorder (FSD), is a multisystem, polysymptomatic disease, characterized by various individual symptoms attributed to low level of volatile chemical exposures. Symptoms relate to the autonomic nerve system (ANS) among others which is mandatory in the MCS delimitations. An accepted measure of ANS is heart rate variability (HRV).

Long Axial Field-of-View PET/CT: New Opportunities for Pediatric Imaging.

The combined use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) has become increasingly vital for diagnosing and managing oncological and infectious diseases in pediatric patients. The introduction of long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanners, also known as "Total Body PET/CT," marks a significant advancement in nuclear medicine. This new technology enables faster pediatric imaging with substantially reduced radiation exposure and essentially eliminates the need for sedation, addressing previous critical concerns in pediatric imaging.
