Mathematical and statistical modeling can be a very useful tool in understanding and fighting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here we present investigations of mixed effect models of varying complexity in order to identify and address possible management factors affecting the tetracycline AMR levels in Danish pig farms. Besides antimicrobial exposure during pigs life cycle, the type of production seems to also have an influence. The results concludes that not only fully integrated farms (CHR integrated) but also farms in a production network with a single ownership (CVR integrated) might have a preventive effect on levels of tetracycline AMR compared to more complex trading patterns.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis has a substantial negative impact on physical activity (PA). However, limited knowledge exists on objectively measured PA levels and types across disability status along with its influence on walking capacity.
Objectives: To (1) determine PA levels/types in persons with MS (pwMS) (overall and across disability status) and in healthy controls (HC), and (2) investigate the association between PA levels/types and walking capacity.

Udder health consulting is an essential aspect of mastitis control and is based on herd-specific intervention often provided by the herd veterinarian, focusing on managing the bulk tank somatic cell count. Effective communication and alignment of expectations between dairy farmers and herd veterinarians are more critical than ever due to the substantial increase in herd sizes, which amplifies both potential gains and losses. To facilitate future cooperation between dairy farmers and herd veterinarians, it is important to understand the current level of agreement in communication, and therefore, we conducted a study to describe the agreement in the perception of their communication during udder health consulting.

: Team handball involves a high number of rapid and forceful muscle actions. Progressive heavy-load resistance training is known to enhance mechanical muscle function; however, its transfer into functional performance in team handball athletes remains largely unknown. The current study aimed to analyze the effects of eight weeks undulating heavy-load resistance training on lower limb mechanical muscle function and sports-specific performance in elite female team handball players.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a type of cancer characterized by a vast intracellular accumulation of lipids that are critical to sustain growth and viability of the cells in the tumour microenvironment. Stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase 1 (SCD-1) is an essential enzyme for the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids and consistently overexpressed in all stages of ccRCC growth.
Methods: Human clear cell renal cell carcinoma lines were treated with small-molecule inhibitors of protein kinase CK2.

Objectives: We aimed to study the association between early-onset neonatal infection in near-term and term children and school performance based on mandatory tests in reading and mathematics.
Methods: We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort study including all Danish near-term and term singletons born from 1997 to 2009. Early-onset infection was defined as an invasive bacterial infection during the first week of life.
