Purpose: To study return to work (RTW) at 2-year follow-up in a randomised controlled trial comparing brief intervention (BI) and multidisciplinary intervention (MDI) in employees on sick leave due to low back pain (LBP) stratified for job relations.

Methods: In total 476 employees on sick leave for 4-12 weeks due to LBP were divided into strata with weak or strong job relations, based on perceived risk of losing job and influence on job planning. In each stratum participants were allocated to BI or MDI.

Micro- and macrovascular complications and risk factors for foot ulceration and amputation in individuals receiving dialysis with and without diabetes.

Introduction: This study examined the prevalence of microvascular and macrovascular complications in people receiving dialysis with and without diabetes and investigated independent risk factors for foot ulcers and lower-extremity amputations.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 119 individuals with diabetes and 219 individuals without diabetes receiving chronic dialysis during June 2019 at the Department of Nephrology, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Effects of diabetes and other risk factors were assessed by log-binomial regression.

Mood of the Planet: Challenging Visions of Big Data in the Arts.

Mood of the Planet is an interactive physical-digital sculpture that has as its center-piece a large "arch" or "doorway" that emits colored light and sound as a form of visualization and sonification of the changing, live emotions expressed by people all around the Earth. It is the product of several disciplines, including the arts, computer science, linguistics and psychology. In particular, we use artificial intelligence to collect and analyze social media data and extract emotions from these using a brain-inspired and psychologically motivated emotion categorization model.

Well-being of women referred due to suspected side effects after human papilloma virus vaccination.

Introduction: Due to increased reporting of presumed side effects following human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination, the Danish Health Authority established five HPV clinics aiming to improve the diagnostics and treatment of affected women. Here, we aimed to describe characteristics of affected women 1-2 years after they attended an HPV clinic and to explore whether women who believed their symptoms were caused by the HPV vaccine were less likely to report symptom improvement than those who did not.

Methods: A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at the HPV clinic in Silkeborg, 2017-2018.

Classification of death causes after transplantation (CLASS): Evaluation of methodology and initial results.

Correct classification of death causes is an important component of transplant trials.We aimed to develop and validate a system to classify causes of death in hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) and solid organ (SOT) transplant recipients.Case record forms (CRF) of fatal cases were completed, including investigator-designated cause of death.

[Possible side effects from HPV vaccination in Denmark].

HPV vaccination offers protection against ~70% of cervical cancers, however, serious concerns have been raised about the possible side effects from HPV vaccination. Studies have found no increased risk of neurologic disease, autoimmune disorder, thromboembolic disease, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or complex regional pain syndrome in HPV-vaccinated persons compared to unvaccinated persons. Affected individuals should undergo a proper clinical examination to ensure a correct diagnosis and treatment, because symptoms might arise due to a somatic, psychiatric or functional disorder.

Survival Benefit in Renal Transplantation Despite High Comorbidity.

Background: The age and degree of comorbidity among transplant candidates is increasing. Knowledge of survival benefit in relation to recipient age and comorbidity is important, considering the scarcity of organs available for transplantation. The aim of the present study was to analyze the chances and survival benefit of transplantation among patients in different age groups and with different degrees of comorbidity score at the time of entering the waiting list.

Effectiveness and drug adherence of biologic monotherapy in routine care of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cohort study of patients registered in the Danish biologics registry.

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of Danish RA patients currently on biologic monotherapy and compare the effectiveness and drug adherence of biologic therapies applied as monotherapy.

Methods: All RA patients registered in the Danish biologics database (DANBIO) as receiving biologic DMARD (bDMARD) treatment as monotherapy without concomitant conventional synthetic DMARDs (csDMARDs) during the study period 1 May, 2011 through 30 April 2013 were eligible for inclusion. All patient files were checked to ensure that they were in accordance with the treatment registration in DANBIO.

An efficient case finding strategy to diagnose osteoporosis in a developing society with low treatment frequency.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is a debilitating condition with rising frequency of fragility fractures with advancing age. Life expectancy increases in developing societies with the emergence of osteoporosis. There is a need for a simple protocol to diagnose fractures that merit treatment for osteoporosis.

Risk factors for recurrent nerve palsy after thyroid surgery: a national study of patients treated at Danish departments of ENT Head and Neck Surgery.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is a well-known and serious complication to thyroid surgery. The objective was to estimate the frequency of post-thyroidectomy RLN palsy and to identify possible risk factors. Based on the Danish national thyroid surgery database, 6,859 patients treated with thyroid surgery from 1 January 2001 to the 31 December 2008 at the Danish departments of ENT-HNS were analyzed.

Changes in causes of death and risk of cancer in Danish patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease.

Background: With the improved prognosis in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), causes of death and the risk of cancer might have changed. This was investigated in a Danish population with ADPKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) between 1 January 1993 and 31 December 2008.

Methods: Data were retrieved from three Danish national registries and a total of 823 patients were identified of which 431 had died during the study period.

Control panels of meat juice samples for a Salmonella enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

In the Danish pig production system, an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of antibodies in meat juice is used for Salmonella surveillance. Quality control (QC) of this ELISA was previously based on repeated testing of control serum samples. The purpose of the study reported here was to collect, characterize, and implement a panel of meat juice pools for supplemental internal QC.

Development and evaluation of a mixed long-chain lipopolysaccharide based ELISA for serological surveillance of infection with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotypes 2, 6 and 12 in pig herds.

The objective was to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for simultaneous detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (Ap) serotypes 2, 6 and 12. The assay was designated MIX-ELISA. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Ap serotypes 2, 6 and 12 was purified using hot phenol-water extraction followed by fractionation by size-exclusion chromatography.

Transmission of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in pigs under field-like conditions: emphasis on tonsillar colonisation and passively acquired colostral antibodies.

The objectives of this study were to elucidate at which age tonsillar colonisation by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae occurs in pigs and relate this occurrence to the presence of colostral antibodies to A. pleuropneumoniae. The infection patterns were studied in an isolated cohort of pigs, which consisted of the offspring from five sows originating from a conventional pig herd.

Detection of antibodies to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 12 in pig serum using a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

The objective was to develop a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of antibodies to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (Ap) serotype 12 in pig serum. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Ap serotype 12 was purified and used as antigen in the assay. Antibodies to the LPS antigen in samples of pig serum were detected by inhibition of the binding of polyclonal rabbit antibodies raised against Ap serotype 12.

Evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for serological surveillance of infection with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 in pig herds.

An indirect enzyme-linked immunoassay for serological surveillance of infection of pigs with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (Ap) serotype 5 was developed. The antigen used was prepared from Ap serotype 5b strain L20. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis showed that the antigen contained high molecular weight lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and presumably also capsular polysaccharide (CP).
