Purpose: Online health information seekers may access information produced by artificial intelligence language models such as ChatGPT (OpenAI). The medical field may pose a significant challenge for incorporating these applications given the training and experience needed to master clinical reasoning. The objective was to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT responses compared to human oculofacial plastic surgeon (OPS) responses to FAQs about an upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedure.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe Western Denmark Heart Registry (WDHR) is a semi-national, multicenter-based clinical registry with unique potential for cardiovascular research. The registry has provided detailed prospectively registered information on patient and procedure characteristics since 1999. WDHR data can be linked to additional data in other healthcare registries in Denmark.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate CVD occurrence 30 years before, and 5 years after, T2DM diagnosis compared with matched comparisons.
Methods: This combined case-control and cohort study included all individuals diagnosed with T2DM in Denmark between 2010 and 2015, as well as general population comparisons matched by age and sex.
Purpose: Ranibizumab is a frequently used inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Studying proteins that mediate the beneficial effects of ranibizumab in CRVO can potentially lead to the improved management of macular edema.
Methods: In 14 Danish Landrace pigs, experimental CRVO was induced in the right eyes and treated with either intravitreal ranibizumab (n = 6) or an intravitreal sodium chloride 9 mg/mL solution as a sham injection (n = 8).
Trends in Peripheral Artery Disease, Lower-Extremity Revascularization, and Lower-Extremity Amputation in Incident Type 2 Diabetes: A Danish Population-Based Cohort Study.
Diabetes Care
January 2025
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze trends in peripheral artery disease (PAD), lower-extremity revascularization, and amputations in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients in Denmark from 1996 to 2020.
- It included 349,454 patients with diabetes, showing significant decreases in the 5-year incidence rates of PAD (from 6.2% to 3.4%), LE revascularization (from 0.8% to 0.6%), and LE amputation (from 1.0% to 0.4%).
- The findings indicate a notable reduction in these complications over time for diabetes patients, contrasting with stable rates observed in the general population during the same period.
