Aims: To estimate the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a Danish cohort comparing the current Danish versus the WHO2013 diagnostic criteria, and to evaluate adverse pregnancy outcomes among currently untreated women in the gap between the diagnostic thresholds.
Methods: Diagnostic testing was performed by a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 weeks' gestation in a cohort of pregnant women. GDM diagnosis was based on the current Danish criterion (2-h glucose ≥ 9.
Objective: To compare the incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and determine whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with T1D development.
Research Design And Methods: All Danish residents aged <30 years free of diabetes from 2015 to 2021 were included. Individuals were followed from 1 January 2015 or birth until the development of T1D, the age of 30, the end of the study (31 December 2021), emigration, development of type 2 diabetes, onset of any cancer, initiation of immunomodulating therapy, or development of any autoimmune disease.
Article Synopsis
- Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare disease causing muscle paralysis and low potassium levels, often rapidly reversible with potassium treatment.
- A 19-year-old man presented with paralysis and symptoms related to hyperthyroidism, leading to a diagnosis of TPP with critical lab results indicating severe potassium deficiency and abnormal thyroid hormone levels.
- He was treated successfully with potassium and medication for Graves' disease, eventually being discharged with normal potassium levels and ongoing outpatient care.
Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Limited data are available describing the clinical presentation and outcomes of hospitalised COVID-19 patients in Europe.
Methods: This was a single-centre retrospective chart review of all patients with COVID-19 admitted to the North Zealand Hospital in Denmark between 1 March and 4 May 2020.
