A survey of preoperative diagnosis and management of complicated appendicitis
CONCLUSIONS: Resident surgeons in Eastern Denmark use non-specific diagnostic techniques to distinguish complicated from uncomplicated appendicitis and would change treatment if appendicitis was diagnosed preoperatively. However, despite limited interest, our results suggest a need for new diagnostic markers to differentiate between the severity of appendicitis, thus enhancing education and training in managing such cases.FUNDING: None.TRIAL REGISTRATION: None.PMID:38018705 (Source: Danish Medical Journal)

Genetics of metabolic traits in Greenlanders
Dan Med J. 2023 Nov 16;70(12):A05230332.ABSTRACTThe history of the Greenlandic population has contributed to a unique genetic composition in which high-impact and often novel genetic variants segregate at a high frequency. As a result, research in smaller populations like the Greenlandic has the potential to reveal genetic variation and associations that are not present or discoverable in other populations. In this review, we provide a summary of our research in Greenlanders and our findings of genetic variants with high impact on metabolic health, and outline the implications that this research has for the equitable distr...

Cold steel versus impedance-dependent tissue sealer tonsillectomy - a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, the present study is the largest randomised controlled trial in ENT surgery in the Nordic countries. The study will potentially provide evidence on PTH regarding two tonsillectomy methods.FUNDING: The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to declare. The study is supplied with instruments from Medtronic needed for the surgical procedures. Furthermore, a minor part of the funding of the entire project is provided by the aforementioned company. The funding providers have no role in design or conduct of the study.CLINICALTRIALS: gov with the identification number NCT05270109.PMID:38018...
