X-ray examinations of the stomach and duodenum from a two year period of 135 Greenlanders and an equivalent number of Danes were reviewed in order to diagnose all radiological lesions. The results are presented. In 37% of the Greenlanders and 51% of the Danes, x-rays showed normal findings. Peptic ulcerations were diagnosed for the first time in 2.4% of Greenlanders over the age of 15 years. The incidence of gastric ulcer was 1.5% and of duodenal ulcer 0.9%. The male/female ratio was 1.3 in Greenlanders. The esofagus and cardia region of the Greenlanders revealed many serious lesions, emphasizing the importance of further investigations in this area. The incidence of peptic ulcer disease and gastric ulcer is higher than the incidence in Denmark but approximately the same as in the Faroe Islands. The incidence of duodenal ulcer is found to be lower among Greenlanders than in the other two populations.

Background: Oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the critical conditions which needs emergent treatment due to the lack of the capacity of excreting toxins and fluids, and plasma membrane bleb formation is considered as one of the characteristic morphologic alterations in ischemic AKI in both animal models and human. We present here an autopsy case with clear electron microscopy images capturing a definitive instance of blebbing in ischemic AKI.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old man was admitted for oliguric AKI with nephrotic syndrome (NS).

This case report highlights a potential vaccine safety concern associated with the Pseudorabies virus (PRV) live vaccine, which warrants further investigation for comprehensive understanding. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a novel syndrome of adverse events following adenovirus vector COVID-19 vaccines, was observed after vaccination with Zoetis PR-VAC PLUS. This led to a 100% morbidity and high mortality among PRV-free Danish purebred pigs from Danish Genetics Co.
