Background: Appendectomy may affect the clinical course of Crohn's disease (CD), but rigorous evidence is sparse and contradicting. The aim of this study was to examine the association between appendectomy and the clinical course of CD.
Methods: All patients diagnosed with CD in Denmark in the period from 1977 to 2017 were identified from the Danish National Patient Registry.
Aim: Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is approved for the treatment of faecal incontinence (FI) in a two-stage technique. With standardized implantation, approximately 90% of patients undergo successful Stage I operation and proceed to a permanent implant (Stage II). The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility of SNM as a one-stage procedure and report the 24-week efficacy.

- The study focuses on cancer survivors in Denmark, exploring how health-related quality of life (HRQoL) varies based on education levels among survivors of different cancers (breast, prostate, lung, colon).
- A cross-sectional questionnaire was used to assess various HRQoL factors, with a notable participation rate of 42%, revealing that those with less education face more significant impairments and severe symptoms.
- Findings indicate that cancer survivors with shorter education (≤9 years) are at a higher risk for HRQoL issues, highlighting the importance of targeted screening and symptom management in post-cancer care.
