Many healthcare IT systems in Germany are unable to interoperate with other systems through standardised data formats. Therefore it is difficult to store and retrieve data and to establish a systematic collection of data with provenance across systems and even healthcare institutions. We outline the concept for a Transformation Pipeline that can act as a processor for proprietary medical data formats from multiple sources. Through a modular construction, the pipeline relies on different data extraction and data enrichment modules as well as on interfaces to external definitions for interoperability standards. The developed solution is extendable and reusable, enabling data transformation independent from current format definitions and entailing the opportunity of collaboration with other research groups.

Prospective validation study of a combined urine and plasma test for predicting high-grade prostate cancer in biopsy naïve men.

Scand J Urol

January 2025

Department of Urology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark; Academy of Geriatric Cancer Research (AgeCare), Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark; Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.

Objective: Early and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) is crucial for effective treatment. Diagnosing  clinically insignificant cancers can lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment, highlighting the importance of accurately selecting patients for further evaluation based on improved risk prediction tools. Novel biomarkers offer promise for enhancing this diagnostic process.

Introduction: Many patients acutely self-poisoned with organophosphorus insecticides have co-ingested ethanol. Currently, profenofos 50% emulsifiable concentrate (EC50) is commonly ingested for self-harm in Sri Lanka. Clinical experience suggests that ethanol co-ingestion makes management more difficult.

Metabolic syndrome-related diseases frequently involve disturbances in skeletal muscle lipid metabolism. The accumulation of lipid metabolites, lipid-induced mitochondrial stress in skeletal muscle cells, as well as the inflammation of adjacent adipose tissue, are associated with the development of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Consequently, when antidiabetic medications are used to treat various chronic conditions related to hyperglycaemia, the impact on skeletal muscle lipid metabolism should not be overlooked.
