Reduced expression of programmed cell death protein 1 on peripheral regulatory B cells in pre-eclampsia - Signs of impaired immune suppression.

Immunological changes are believed to be a part of pre-eclampsia etiology. This study investigated the distribution of the specific peripheral B lymphocyte phenotypes in pre-eclampsia cases compared to uncomplicated pregnancies. The study cohort included 29 women with pre-eclampsia and 14 women with uncomplicated pregnancies.

Are hip fracture patients with high or low body mass index at higher risk of missed care? A cohort study.

Aim: To examine whether patients' body mass index is associated with missed hip fracture care consistent with national guideline-recommended care.

Design: A nationwide, population-based cohort study using prospectively collected data from the Danish Multidisciplinary Hip Fracture Registry.

Methods: The study population consisted of 39,835 patients ≥65 years admitted with a hip fracture and discharged between 1st of January 2012 and 29th of November 2017.

Effect of Supplementing Dairy Goat Diets With Rapeseed Oil or Sunflower Oil on Performance, Milk Composition, Milk Fatty Acid Profile, and Fermentation Kinetics.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of supplementing dairy goat diets with rapeseed oil and sunflower oil on performance, milk composition, milk fatty acid profile, and fermentation kinetics. Nine Danish Landrace goats with 42 ± 5 days in milk were allocated to three treatment groups for 42 days. Animals received a basal diet, formulated with 85:15 forage:concentrate ratio, and the basal diet was supplemented with either rapeseed oil or sunflower oil at 4% of dry matter.

Goat Milk Foodomics. Dietary Supplementation of Sunflower Oil and Rapeseed Oil Modify Milk Amino Acid and Organic Acid Profiles in Dairy Goats.

The dietary supplementation of vegetable oils is known to improve the dietary energy density as well as milk fatty acid profile; however, the impacts on the milk foodome is largely unknown. This study investigated the effect of two different sources of unsaturated fatty acids, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, as a feeding supplement on the milk foodome from dairy goats. Nine Danish Landrace goats at 42 ± 5 days in milk were allocated to three treatment groups for 42 days with three animals per group.

Haemophilus influenzae one day in Denmark: prevalence, circulating clones, and dismal resistance to aminopenicillins.

Haemophilus influenzae is a common cause of mucosal infections that warrants accurate surveillance. We aimed to assess the prevalence of the species in clinical specimens, and characterise population structure and resistance to aminopenicillins by whole genome sequencing.We assessed the point prevalence by entering the database records of 1 day in Denmark and examined the genome sequences of nationwide, collected isolates from the same day.

Fungal attack on archaeological wooden artefacts in the Arctic-implications in a changing climate.

Climate change is expected to accelerate the microbial degradation of the many extraordinary well-preserved organic archaeological deposits found in the Arctic. This could potentially lead to a major loss of wooden artefacts that are still buried within the region. Here, we carry out the first large-scale investigation of wood degradation within archaeological deposits in the Arctic.

Pain is frequent in children with cerebral palsy and negatively affects physical activity and participation.

Aim: The aim was to identify the prevalence of long-lasting pain among children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to investigate the association between pain and participation in physical leisure activities.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on data from the National Danish Clinical Quality Database of children with CP. The study population consisted of 960 children aged 2-11 years across all Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels.

Differences in life stage sensitivity of the beetle Tenebrio molitor towards a pyrethroid insecticide explained by stage-specific variations in uptake, elimination and activity of detoxifying enzymes.

It is widely accepted that sensitivity towards pesticides varies significantly between species. Much less is known about the potential differences in pesticide sensitivity and its biological mechanism throughout the lifecycle of a single species. In the present study we used three life-stages (larvae, pupae and adult) of the holometabolous insect Tenebrio molitor to investigate: i) Life-stage specific differences in sensitivity towards the pyrethroid insecticide α-cypermethrin after topical exposure, and ii) whether these differences can be explained by the degree of uptake and/or excretion.
