New colleague or gimmick hurdle? A user-centric scoping review of the barriers and facilitators of robots in hospitals.

Healthcare systems are confronted with a multitude of challenges, including the imperative to enhance accessibility, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the quality of healthcare delivery. These challenges are exacerbated by current healthcare personnel shortages, prospects of future shortfalls, insufficient recruitment efforts, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, global viral concerns, and ageing populations. To address this escalating demand for healthcare services, healthcare systems are increasingly adopting robotic technology and artificial intelligence (AI), which promise to optimise costs, improve working conditions, and increase the quality of care.

Projection of primary and revision hip arthroplasty surgery in Denmark from 2020 to 2050.

Background And Purpose: The incidence of primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased over the last decades. Previous forecasts from different healthcare systems have predicted a continuous increase. We present a forecast of both primary and revision surgery from 2020 to 2050 based on 25 years data from the healthcare system in Denmark.

A projection of primary knee replacement in Denmark from 2020 to 2050.

Background and purpose - The incidence of knee replacements (KRs) has increased in the past decades. Previous studies have forecast a continuous and almost exponential rise in the use of KRs, but this rise must cease at some point. We estimated when and at what incidence the use of KRs will plateau in Denmark.

Validation of the Return To Work Self-Efficacy questionnaire in a population of employees undergoing treatment for cancer.

Objective: Several Return To Work Self-Efficacy (RTWSE) questionnaires have been developed and found relevant to understanding the return to work (RTW) process of employees with various health problems, including employees with cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Danish 19-item RTWSE questionnaire (RTWSE-19 ) in a sample of employees with cancer.

Methods: Employees undergoing treatment for cancer completed the RTWSE-19 at baseline (n = 68) and at 1 week (n = 49).

[Pronator teres syndrome is a rare but important cause of pain in the forearm].

Pronator teres syndrome is a rare but clinically important condition which can cause pain in the forearm. It is a com-pression neuropathy due to compression of the median nerve proximal in the forearm. In this case report we de-scribe a 69-year-old male patient with pain in both forearms in more than ten years.

[Treatment with bisphosphonates as a possible cause of bilateral spontaneous atypical femoral fracture].

In recent years, case reports have suggested an association between long-term bisphosphonate treatment and spontaneous atypical femoral fractures. We present a case with a 67 year-old female who was treated with bisphosphonate for eight years and within one year sustained bilateral spontaneous atypical femoral fractures preceded by uncharacteristic hip/thigh pain. X-ray of proximal femur is indicated in patients with long-term bisphosphonate use and non-traumatic hip/thigh pain.
