Hope is Not a Strategy: Key Lessons from COVID-19 for Future Health Crises.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global economies, social structures, and public health systems. However, Denmark stood out as an exception, maintaining steady life expectancy during this period. This raises important questions about the factors that strengthened the Danish healthcare system and society against the pandemic's challenges.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common complication in patients with diabetes, and screening for sight-threatening end-stages is indicated to avoid severe visual loss. Screening of DR is nationally implemented in Denmark according to evidence-based national guidelines, which includes the use of individualised screening intervals. Treatment is indicated for proliferative DR and diabetic macular oedema, and treatment modalities include retinal laser therapy, intravitreal angiostatic therapy, and vitrectomy.

Harnessing the Power of an Extensive EMS-Induced Sorghum Population for Rapid Crop Improvement.

Plant breeders leverage mutagenesis using chemical, biological, and physical mutagens to create novel trait variations. Many widely used sorghum genotypes have a narrow genetic base, which hinders improvements using classical breeding. Enhancing the diversity of the sorghum genome thus remains a key priority for sorghum breeders.

Implications of Age for the Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Cardiac Troponin T and I.

Background: The influence of age on cardiac troponin is unclear and may vary between cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI). We aimed to compare the impact of age on the diagnostic and prognostic utility of cTnT and cTnI.

Methods: This Danish nationwide, register-based cohort study included patients with at least one cardiac troponin (cTn) measurement from 2009 through June 2022, stratified into decades of age.

Effects of prenatal exercise interventions on maternal body composition: A secondary analysis of the FitMum randomized controlled trial.

The main objective of the study was to investigate the effects of prenatal exercise interventions on maternal body composition at 28 weeks gestation and 7-14 days after delivery. We also explored associations between physical activity (PA) per se and body composition. This study presents secondary outcomes of the FitMum randomized controlled trial, which included healthy inactive pregnant women at gestational age ≤ 15+0 weeks.
