Acute dyspnoea is one of the most common presenting symptoms in the emergency department (ED) and has a variety of underlying causes. Calprotectin is a neutrophil activation marker associated with adverse outcomes in acute cardiovascular and infectious diseases. However, the usefulness of calprotectin in the risk stratification of patients with acute dyspnoea is unknown. The objectives were to, in
Time-frequency (TF) postprocessing methods are often used to form concentrated TF representations (TFRs) for nonstationary signals. Regrettably, most such techniques are sensitive to noise and tend to underestimate weak components when dealing with transient signals, resulting in sidelobes and low-resolution TFRs. In this work, we introduce a generalized group delay (GD) weighted sparse TF (GWSTF)
Background and purpose — Traditional surgery forarthritis of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), which typicallyinvolves resecting the ulnar head, is being increasingly challengedby newer techniques, such as prosthetic ulnar headreplacement. The aim of our prospective cohort study was toinvestigate the clinical and patient-reported functional results,up to 2 years postoperatively, among patients w
Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed pronounced challenges in the care of lung transplant (LTx) recipients. Global variations in containment strategies and the introduction of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines have sparked extensive debate in both scientific and public arenas. Methods: This retrospective study compared outcomes among LTx recipients in Denmark
Background Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) represents a group of rare hereditary disorders characterised by deficient ciliary airway clearance that can be associated with laterality defects. We aimed to describe the underlying gene defects, geographical differences in genotypes and their relationship to diagnostic findings and clinical phenotypes. Methods Genetic variants and clinical findings (a
PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the associations between the intake of high- and low-fat fermented dairy (cheese and fermented milk), their proteomic profiles, and mortality risk.METHODS: This cohort study included 25,187 participants (mean age 57.7 years, 60.9% females). Fermented dairy intake was assessed by a modified diet history method. In a random subset of this cohort (n = 4359), we co
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased risk of complications after breast cancer surgery. This study investigated systemic and surgical-site postoperative complications and the risk of early and late breast cancer recurrence and mortality, overall, and according to T2D status. Methods: From the Danish Breast Cancer Group (DBCG) and Danish registries, a cohort of women with
Forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD) have emerged as promising processes for seawater desalination. One of the key factors influencing the FO process is the selection of a suitable draw solution (DS), which should exhibit high osmotic pressure and easy regeneration through a secondary process such as MD. Thermo-responsive polymers having ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO)
Objective: To investigate the development of sexual activity, sexual function, and body image in women with primary vulvar cancer from the time of diagnosis to 24 months after the end of treatment. Methods: This nationwide prospective cohort study assessed health-related quality of life in women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer using validated patient-reported outcome measures (EORTC-QLQ-VU34 [E
Background. Treatment of childhood medulloblastoma has evolved to reduce neurotoxicity while improving survival. However, the impact of evolving therapies on late neurocognitive outcomes and adult functional independence remains unknown. Methods. Adult survivors of childhood medulloblastoma (n = 505; median [minimum–maximum] age, 29 [18–46] years) and sibling controls (n = 727; 32 [18–58] years) f
Background Although the role of smoking as a risk factor for emphysema in α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is well known, never-smokers with severe AATD may also develop lung disease, ranging from mild asymptomatic disease to severe emphysema. Methods We performed a cross-sectional and observational study to analyse the characteristics of the population of never-smoker severe AATD (genotype) indiv
In this work, we study the problem of estimating the in-ear sound field using microphone measurements at nearby positions. Typically, the sound field is first interpolated to the position of the head under free-field assumptions, followed by filtering through pre-measured head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). While properties of free-field interpolation methods have been well studied with respe
Electric power is the foundation of modern society, yet Europe is currently facing an energy crisis, increasing interest in power generation, energy infrastructure, and grid resilience. However, power plant data are complex and multidimensional, making it difficult to gain an overview or understanding. Visualization methods can help to reduce cognitive load and facilitate exploration of such data.
Objective: Worse women's outcomes after elective standard endovascular aneurysm repair have been widely reported. Similar data have surfaced from cohorts undergoing fenestrated and branched repair; however, studies reporting from a sex perspective are rare and mostly limited to single centre designs. This study aimed to examine survival following nationwide complex endovascular repair according to
Objective: To characterize patients with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) diagnosed before age 18 years within a nationwide Swedish Fontan cohort. Methods: Surgical records and medical charts were reviewed for all patients born after January 1, 1993, who underwent Fontan completion before January 1, 2021. Results: Among 573 reviewed patients, 28 (4.8%) developed PLE. The median time to onset of PL
