Climate change is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss. Among vertebrates, amphibians are one of the more sensitive groups to climate change due to their unique ecology, habitat requirements, narrow thermal tolerance and relatively limited dispersal abilities. We projected the influence of climate change on an endemic toad, Malabar Tree Toad (Pedostibes tuberculosus; hereafter MTT) from t
BACKGROUND: The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care holds great promise, offering the potential to alleviate physicians' workloads and allocate more time for patient interactions. After the emergence of large language models (LLMs), interest in AI has surged in the health care sector, including within primary care. However, patients have expressed concerns about the ethical
BACKGROUND: Although death in old age is unavoidable, premature death-defined here as death before age 70 years-is not. To assess whether halving premature mortality by 2050 is feasible, we examined the large variation in premature death rates before age 70 years and trends over the past 50 years (1970-2019), covering ten world regions and the 30 most-populous nations. This analysis was undertaken
Introduction: The physical activity health paradox refers to the contrasting associations of leisure-time physical activity and occupational physical activity with cardiovascular disease, but whether this applies to Type 2 diabetes risk is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the physical activity health paradox and age-specific Type 2 diabetes. Methods: Working adults (N=5,866) in Denmark age
Aim: To explore the meaning of adaptation after visceral transplantation in terms of patient experiences, symptoms, self-efficacy, transplant-specific and mental well-being. Design: A convergent parallel mixed-methods study, consisting of interviews and generic as well as transplant-specific questionnaires. Results were integrated using meta-inference. Methods: The study comprises a population of
Background: The feedback of the surveillance results to the employee and the employer largely determines the impact of workers’ health surveillance on workers’ health and exposure. We are unaware of any guidebooks or articles on performing feedback on regulated workers’ health surveillance, e.g., for vibration-exposed workers. Objectives: To identify existing knowledge of the communication aspects
BACKGROUND: Food choice decisions are complex processes influenced by various factors that affect the family's diet and, thus, their health and nutrition. In low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia, these factors are shaped by the ongoing nutrition transition, urbanization, and socio-economic challenges. Despite growing concerns about the double burden of malnutrition, the factors influenci
BACKGROUND: Drug-coated balloons (DCB) are frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention. Despite this there are limited data from studies comparing different types of DCB, particularly for a paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) using urea as the excipient. This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of the PCB with urea compared with other frequently used DCB, attempting to emulate a
The pervasive issue of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) motivated the research for this master's thesis. During a previous professional experience at a chemical consultancy, insights were gained into the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulatory requirements, which informed the foundation of this study. PFAS are recognized for being high
Background: Tau-PET is a diagnostic tool with high sensitivity and specificity for discriminating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia from other neurodegenerative disorders in well-controlled research environments. The role of tau-PET in real-world clinical practice, however, remains to be established. The aim of the TAP-TAU study is therefore to investigate the impact of tau-PET in clinical practic
Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. If women at high risk for developing complications could be identified early, level of care could be triaged, limited resources could be correctly allocated and targeted interventions to prevent complications could be implemented. Methods: We updated a systematic review and meta-a
