Limited Benefit of Routine Clinical Follow-Up for Relapse Detection in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Patients in Complete Remission Following First-Line Treatment.

Despite advances in treatment, approximately 15% of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who achieve complete remission (CR) after first-line therapy will experience a relapse. However, there is no consensus on the optimal follow-up strategies for detecting relapse after achieving CR. This population-based study, based on the Danish Lymphoma Registry (LYFO), identified a total of 1634 patients diagnosed with DLBCL between 2010 and 2017, including 105 patients who achieved CR following first-line R-CHOP-like therapy and subsequently relapsed.

Characteristics of eligible patients with knee osteoarthritis accepting versus declining participation in a randomised trial investigating the effect of weight loss versus knee arthroplasty to explore generalisability: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The INtensive diet versus Knee Arthroplasty (INKA) trial is a randomised trial assessing weight loss as an alternative to knee arthroplasty (KA) in obese patients with severe knee osteoarthritis (OA) awaiting KA (NCT05172843). The external validity of the INKA trial may be hampered if the patients who participate differ from those who decline participation.

Objective: To compare baseline characteristics between patients who enrol in the INKA trial and those who decline participation (i.

Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity Intensity Cut-Points for Hip-, Wrist-, Thigh-, and Lower Back Worn Accelerometer in Very Old Adults.

Physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of negative mental and physical health outcomes in older adults. Traditionally, PA intensity is classified using METs, with 1 MET equal to 3.5 mL O·min·kg.

Risk of Gastrointestinal Diseases in Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A Nationwide, Register-Based Cohort Study.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of rare genetic disorders most commonly caused by reduced amount of biologically normal collagen type I, a structural component of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal wall. The risk of gastrointestinal (GI) disease in individuals with OI is not well understood, despite GI complaints being frequently reported by the OI population. To investigate the risk of GI diseases in individuals with OI.

Long-Term Natural Hydroxyapatite and Synthetic Collagen Hydroxyapatite Enhance Bone Regeneration and Implant Fixation Similar to Allograft in a Sheep Model of Implant Integration.

There is an increasing demand for a suitable bone substitute to replace current clinical gold standard autografts or allografts. Majority of previous studies have focused on the early effects of substitutes on bone formation, while information on their long-term efficacies remains limited. This study investigated the efficacies of natural hydroxyapatite (nHA) derived from oyster shells and synthetic hydroxyapatite mixed with collagen (COL/HA) or chitosan (CS/HA) on bone regeneration and implant fixation in sheep.

SNP rs6543176 is associated with extreme human longevity but increased risk for cancer.

Using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) might offer insights into rare genetic variants associated with healthy aging and extreme longevity (EL), potentially pointing to useful therapeutic targets. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study using WGS data from the Long Life Family Study and identified a novel longevity-associated variant rs6543176 in the SLC9A2 gene. This SNP also showed a significant association with reduced hypertension risk and an increased, though not statistically significant, cancer risk.

Prevalence and incidence of mastocytosis in adults: a Danish nationwide register study.

Mastocytosis is a group of rare heterogeneous diseases with a prevalence previously found to be 10-23 per 100,000 persons. More awareness and improvements in the diagnostic methods in later years have led to more patients being diagnosed. Here, we set out to present the prevalence and incidence rate of mastocytosis among the adult Danish population.

Aim: To describe the use of invasive mechanical ventilation core strategies, adjuvant treatments and the occurrence of barotrauma and prolonged ventilation in ICU patients with COVID-19 in Denmark, retrospectively.

Methods: All ICUs admitting COVID-19 patients in Denmark from 10 March 2020 to 2 April 2021 were invited to participate. All patients with COVID-19 who received invasive mechanical ventilation were included and data was retrospectively collected from electronic patient records.

Infants admitted to Danish neonatal units demonstrate satisfactory growth independent of feeding type at discharge.

Aim: The aim was to investigate feeding type at discharge; exclusively breastfeeding (EBF), mixed breastfeeding (MBF), and formula milk feeding (FMF), factors associated with feeding type, and changes in weight-for-age z-score (ΔWAZ) in infants admitted to Danish neonatal units.

Methods: Using data from the Danish National Quality Database for Births and the Danish Newborn Quality Database, we included 8639 mother-infant dyads admitted ≥5 days between February 2019 and December 2021. We used logistic regression to investigate associations between maternal and infant factors and feeding type, and descriptive statistics to describe ΔWAZ and feeding type at discharge.

Pan-cancer drivers of metastasis.

Metastasis remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, irrespective of the primary tumour origin. However, the core gene regulatory program governing distinct stages of metastasis across cancers remains poorly understood. We investigate this through single-cell transcriptome analysis encompassing over two hundred patients with metastatic and non-metastatic tumours across six cancer types.

Safety of antenatal breastmilk expression from week 34 of pregnancy: a randomized controlled pilot study (The Express-MOM study).

Background: Mother's own milk (MOM) is important as the first nutrition for preterm infants, but mothers often struggle to initiate milk production right after preterm birth. If antenatal breastmilk expression (aBME) does not induce preterm labor when performed before term age, it could promote nutrition with MOM right after preterm birth. In this pilot study, we aimed to investigate whether aBME induces preterm labor among healthy nulliparous women from week 34 of pregnancy, to examine if aBME promotes the availability of MOM right after birth and affects breastfeeding outcomes.

The cardio-metabolic protein profile is associated with development of type 2 diabetes at long term follow-up after gestational diabetes mellitus: Results from the OGFUS study.

Aims: Women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an increased risk for later development of type 2 diabetes. During pregnancy, GDM affects the cardio-metabolic protein profile; however, it is unknown how GDM affects the cardio-metabolic protein profile in the long term and if it is associated with type 2 diabetes after GDM. We hypothesise that the cardio-metabolic protein profile is affected long term and is associated with the development of type 2 diabetes after GDM.
