Ball milling treatment could affect the microstructures, improve the emulsification properties of curdlan (CL) and regulate the emulsion gel properties of CL based emulsion gel in two-ways. With increasing ball milling time (1 h-8 h), the particle size first decreased and then increased, the relative crystallinity decreased, and the contact angle increased. Ball milled curdlan (BMCL)-6 h showed the best emulsifying property and stability, which was the combined effects of decreased particle size and increased hydrophobic property.

Introduction: Intimate partner violence against women is a global health issue. Exposure to intimate partner violence during pregnancy leads to health-related problems for both the mother and the newborn. However, current knowledge on its occurrence varies widely and assessing the problem using standardized tools in different contexts is needed.

To evaluate the risk of epilepsy in children who received neonatal phototherapy. A cohort of live singletons born at a Danish hospital (2002-2016) with a gestational age ≥ 35 weeks. We used Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of epilepsy in children treated with neonatal phototherapy compared to children not treated with neonatal phototherapy in the general population, and in a subpopulation of children who had serum bilirubin measurement.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to provide a comprehensive description of perioperative morbidity associated with robot-assisted surgery (RAS) in a gynecological oncology setting in order to improve the preoperative counseling of women and support shared decision-making.

Material And Methods: All women scheduled for intended RAS between January 2015 and December 2022 were prospectively included in an electronic morbidity database for the analyses of perioperative complications.

Results: In total, 2225 women were included.

Objective: The birth of a child is a significant life event, possibly accompanied by thoughts and feelings of existential turmoil, which some parents need to share. Maternity care professionals may be unprepared for this, as very few educational initiatives exist with a focus on existential communication. We evaluated the curriculum and delivery of a course in existential communication for midwives.

The lipase (LA) and peroxidase (POD) activities, as well as morphological structure, physicochemical and digestion properties of sand rice flour (SRF) treated with superheated steam (SS), were investigated. SS treatment at 165 °C completely deactivated LA and resulted in a 98% deactivation of POD activities in SRF. This treatment also intensified gelatinization, induced noticeable color alterations, and decreased pasting viscosities.

The study investigated the effect of removing protein and/or lipid on the physicochemical characteristics and digestibility of sand rice flour (SRF). Morphological images showed that protein removal had a greater impact on exposing starch granules, while lipids acted as an adhesive. The treatment altered starch content in SRF samples, leading to increased starch crystallinity, denser semi-crystalline region, lower onset gelatinization temperature (T), higher peak viscosity and gelatinization enthalpy (ΔH), where Protein removal showed a more pronounced effect on altering physicochemical properties compared to lipid removal.

Background: Although gynecological health issues are common and cause considerable distress, little is known about their causes. We examined how birth history is associated with urinary incontinence (UI), severe period pain, heavy periods, and endometriosis.

Methods: We studied 7700 women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health with an average follow-up of 10.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to investigate the adherence to pessary treatment in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who were found eligible for this treatment by the urogynecologist, at the first visit at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Odense University Hospital.

Methods: Data were extracted from the women's medical records. Frequency tabulations were performed to describe the women's reasons for pessary discontinuation by age group.

Fractures account for the most frequent cause of hospitalization during childhood and numbers have increased over time. Of all fractures in childhood and young adulthood, 66% are recurrent fractures, suggesting that some people are predestined for fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between maternal smoking during late pregnancy and the risk of fractures in the children.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the relationship between maternal testosterone levels and the physical measurements of newborns.
  • It included data from 1,486 mother-child pairs and analyzed testosterone levels after collecting blood samples during pregnancy.
  • Results showed that higher levels of free testosterone in mothers were associated with lower birth weight, shorter length, and smaller abdominal circumference in male babies, while no significant effects were found for female babies.

Objective: A long-term follow-up of the OPAL trial to compare the effect of patient-initiated (PIFU) versus hospital-based (HBFU) follow-up on fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), quality of life (QoL) and healthcare use after 34 months of follow-up.

Design: Pragmatic, multicentre randomised trial.

Setting: Four Danish departments of gynaecology between May 2013 and May 2016.

In this study, rice starch (RS) was mixed with varying amounts of rice protein (RP; 0 % to 16 %) to explore the effects of protein on the gelatinization and retrogradation of starch during storage. The increased RP addition decreased the viscosity and gelatinization enthalpy of the mixtures but caused an upward trend in the gelatinization temperature, indicating that protein hampers the process of starch gelatinization. Furthermore, RP addition reduced gel hardness, decreased retrogradation enthalpy and crystallization rate constant, but increased Avrami exponent upon RS retrogradation.

Prolonged wound discharge is a common postoperative complication of orthopaedic procedures and a risk factor for implant-related infection. Occlusive wound closure methods have previously been suggested to reduce or even prevent this complication. We performed a randomised controlled trial on 70 patients who underwent surgical treatment for metastatic bone disease involving the proximal femur at our centre between January 2017 and August 2018.

Purpose: Phototherapy is the standard treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. It is important to collect data on phototherapy to support research related to the efficacy and safety of phototherapy. We explored the registration of phototherapy in the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR) and the clinical characteristics of neonates treated with phototherapy.

Background: The detection of an abnormality during prenatal screening implies that the parents are informed about possible treatment and management of the pregnancy, birth, and postnatal course. This information should enable the parents to make decisions regarding the pregnancy, especially in cases where termination of pregnancy may be an option. The objectives of this study were to investigate how often doctors informed parents about pregnancy termination when the fetus had an anomaly and which demographic factors were related to parental decision-making.

Objective: To assess the evidence of the association between exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and postpartum depression. IPV during pregnancy can have immediate and long-term physical and mental health consequences for the family. Therefore, it has been hypothesised that IPV may affect the risk of developing postpartum depression.

In this study, amylopectin was ultrasonicated at different temperatures to explore its disruption process. Results showed a significant decrease in amylopectin M after ultrasonic treatments and a retarded effect was detected with the increase of temperatures. The amylopectin disruption process fitted to the second order kinetic model (1/M - 1/M = kt) and its disruption rate coefficient decreased from 2.

An ultrasensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated for quantitative detection of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). The N/O co-doped three-dimensional hierarchical porous graphitic (THPG) carbon was synthesized by a one-step synthesis of polyaniline hydrogel, and followed by simple carbonization and chemical activation procedures. Because of the unique structure design, the obtained THPG carbon networks possess an ultra-large specific surface area of 4859 m g along with a class of highly graphitic carbons.
