Background: Brain health may be impaired years after hospitalization for critical illness, and similar impairments occur after hospitalization for COVID-19. However, it remains unclear which patients are most likely to experience long-term brain health consequences and whether these adverse events differ between non-COVID critical illness and COVID-19.
Methods: In a prospective observational study, we enrolled patients hospitalized for (1) non-COVID critical illness (pneumonia, myocardial infarction, or ICU-requiring conditions) or for (2) COVID-19, from March 2020 to June 2021.
Background: People living with cystic fibrosis in Denmark had early, universal access to triple modulator treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor. Close monitoring allowed us to assess the impact of treatment on lung function and progression of lung disease in an unselected nationwide cystic fibrosis population from 6 years of age.
Methods: Data were analysed using linear mixed-effect models to assess changes in levels and annual rates of change (slopes) in percent predicted (pp) forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV), forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of FVC (ppFEF) between the 12 months pre-treatment and treatment periods.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between adiponectin (ADP) levels, glucose metabolism, and body composition in adults with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD).
- It was found that while ADP levels were negatively correlated with indicators of insulin resistance and lower body mass metrics, they did not show a correlation with glucose intolerance.
- The findings suggest that malnutrition in cystic fibrosis may contribute to elevated ADP levels, indicating a complex interaction between body composition and glucose metabolism in these patients.
Article Synopsis
- Recent guidelines for women living with HIV in high-income countries emphasize shared decision-making, yet there's limited understanding of their infant feeding knowledge and healthcare provider interactions.
- This study, conducted in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, involved pregnant women living with HIV, gathering both quantitative data through a survey and qualitative insights from interviews to explore their knowledge and experiences over time.
- Results revealed that women were confused about breastfeeding in relation to the U=U concept, with Nordic women showing more uncertainty than those from non-Nordic backgrounds, while ongoing monitoring of mothers was not perceived as a barrier to breastfeeding.
Goals: We aimed to evaluate the Danish CRC screening program, estimate colonic neoplasia's prevalence, and assess the utilized BP regimens.
Background: People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) have an increased risk of precancerous polyps and colorectal cancer (CRC), with occurrence at an earlier age compared with the general population. Consequently, colonoscopy screening is recommended.
