August 2021
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, Denmark.
We aimed to characterize the in-hospital analgesic use among total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA) patients, and to identify possible drug-related challenges. We identified 15 263 patients operated with a THA or TKA between 1 January 2012 and 30 April 2016. The prevalence of analgesic users and patients with potential clinically relevant drug-drug interactions (DDIs), along with the prevalence of readmission among patients with vs.

Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital-Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg, Nielsine Nielsensvej 11, Building 8, 1st floor, 2400, Copenhagen, NV, Denmark.
The absorption of dietary proteins affects the anabolic response, among others protein synthesis. For elderly, optimal amino acid absorption is warranted to preserve the amino acid pool of the body, especially skeletal muscle proteins. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize if hydrolyzing meat protein (HMP) would improve the amino acid absorption after ingestion of meat compared to equal amounts of the same meat proteins but present in a different structure; steak or minced meat.

December 2021
Centre for Genomic Medicine, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Understanding the genetic interplay between human hosts and infectious pathogens is crucial for how we interpret virulence factors. Here, we tested for associations between HIV and host genetics, and interactive genetic effects on viral load (VL) in HIV-positive antiretroviral treatment-naive clinical trial participants.
Methods: HIV genomes were sequenced and the encoded amino acid (AA) variants were associated with VL, human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and imputed HLA alleles using generalized linear models with Bonferroni correction.
Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Multi-Hit Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treated with Ibrutinib.

Department of Hematology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Purpose: aberration ( mutation and/or 17p deletion) is the most important predictive marker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although each aberration is considered an equal prognosticator, the prognostic value of carrying isolated (single-hit) or multiple (multi-hit) aberrations remains unclear, particularly in the context of targeted agents.
Patients And Methods: We performed deep sequencing of using baseline samples collected from 51 aberrant patients treated with ibrutinib in a phase II study (NCT01500733).
Genetic meta-analysis of twin birth weight shows high genetic correlation with singleton birth weight.
Hum Mol Genet
September 2021
Department of Biological Psychology, Amsterdam Public Health Research Institute, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Birth weight (BW) is an important predictor of newborn survival and health and has associations with many adult health outcomes, including cardiometabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases and mental health. On average, twins have a lower BW than singletons as a result of a different pattern of fetal growth and shorter gestational duration. Therefore, investigations into the genetics of BW often exclude data from twins, leading to a reduction in sample size and remaining ambiguities concerning the genetic contribution to BW in twins.

Article Synopsis
- In STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention, reperfusion injury significantly affects final infarct size and patient outcomes.
- The study examined whether functional significant multivessel disease (MVD) in coronary arteries could reduce the final infarct size or improve myocardial salvage using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
- The results showed no significant differences in final infarct size or myocardial salvage index among patients with single vessel disease, functional single vessel disease, or functional MVD, indicating MVD in nonculprit areas did not provide protective benefits.
Patient-Reported Outcomes, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Clinical Outcomes for Urothelial Cancer Patients Receiving Chemo- or Immunotherapy: A Real-Life Experience.
J Clin Med
April 2021
Department of Oncology, University Hospital of Copenhagen, Rigshospitalet, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark.
Patients with urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) often have comorbidities, which cause trouble for the completion of oncological treatment, and little is known about their quality of life (QoL). The aim of the present study was to obtain and describe patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and QoL data from UCC patients in the treatment for locally advanced muscle-invasive or metastatic UCC. A total of 79 patients with UCC completed four questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-BLM30, HADS, and select PRO-CTCAE™ questions) once weekly during their treatment.

Department of Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany.
With an increasing variety of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic or therapeutic nuclear medicine as valuable diagnostic or treatment option, radiobiology plays an important role in supporting optimizations. This comprises particularly safety and efficacy of radionuclide therapies, specifically tailored to each patient. As absorbed dose rates and absorbed dose distributions in space and time are very different between external irradiation and systemic radionuclide exposure, distinct radiation-induced biological responses are expected in nuclear medicine, which need to be explored.

Institute for Inflammation Research, Center for Rheumatology and Spine Diseases, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Blegdamsvej 9, The Capitol Region, Copenhagen, 2100, Denmark.
Background: The facultative bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) is strongly associated with periodontitis and is occasionally found in periodontally healthy subjects. We aimed to determine the prevalence of salivary Aa among patients with either periodontitis Grade B (periodontitis-B) or Grade C (periodontitis-C), periodontally healthy controls (HCs), and to determine if systemic antibodies against Aa or its virulence factor leukotoxin A (LtxA) may serve as biomarkers that reveal the oral presence of the bacterium and discriminate subjects with periodontitis-C, periodontitis-B, or no periodontitis from each other.
Methods: Serum and unstimulated saliva samples were collected from patients with periodontitis-C (n = 27), patients with periodontitis-B (n = 34), and HCs (n = 28).

Neurobiology Research Unit, Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark.
A single dose of psilocybin, a psychedelic and serotonin 2A receptor (5-HTR) agonist, may be associated with antidepressant effects. The mechanism behind its antidepressive action is unknown but could be linked to increased synaptogenesis and down-regulation of cerebral 5-HTR. Here, we investigate if a single psychedelic dose of psilocybin changes synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and 5-HTR density in the pig brain.

Article Synopsis
- - Obesity and its related diseases have become critical public health issues, with bariatric surgery serving as an effective long-term solution for weight loss and remission of obesity-related conditions; however, it can lead to complications such as post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), particularly after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
- - This study aimed to analyze the hormone dynamics that occur during postprandial hypoglycemia in individuals who had undergone RYGB by comparing those with PBH symptoms to asymptomatic weight-matched controls through a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT).
- - Findings revealed that while certain hormone responses differed between the PBH group and controls (e.g., lower glucagon and higher insulin levels
Effects of ketogenic diet and ketone monoester supplement on acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms in male mice.

March 2021
Laboratory of Neuropsychiatry, Psychiatric Center Copenhagen, Rigshospitalet, Mental Health Services-Capital Region of Denmark, Edel Sauntes Allé 10, DK-2100, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Rationale: After alcohol ingestion, the brain partly switches from consumption of glucose to consumption of the alcohol metabolite acetate. In heavy drinkers, the switch persists after abrupt abstinence, leading to the hypothesis that the resting brain may be "starved" when acetate levels suddenly drop during abstinence, despite normal blood glucose, contributing to withdrawal symptoms. We hypothesized that ketone bodies, like acetate, could act as alternative fuels in the brain and alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
