This review presents a simplified model to understand better how disease-modifying anti-inflammatory drugs (DMAIDs) work in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) with a focus on rheumatology, dermatology, and gastroenterology. In this model, IMIDs are listed on a spectrum from autoinflammatory to autoimmune characterised by the involvement of either mostly the innate or the adaptive immune system. DMAIDs specifically target these immune components and have shown efficacy in distinct IMIDs. DMAID classes include TNF blockers, IL-1 blockers, IL-6 receptor blockers, IL-17 blockers, IL-23 blockers, and janus kinase inhibitors.

Nuclear medicine imaging for prostate cancer has advanced significantly over the past decade. A survey is presented in this review. PSMA-PET/CT is a new highly accurate method that has been introduced, but bone scans and bone-PET continue to be widely applied. PSMA-PET/CT still lacks sufficient patient outcome data to be recommended for treatment allocation when used for primary staging. However, the literature and clinical guidelines support its use at the stage of biochemical recurrence. In Denmark, the use of nuclear medicine examinations for prostate cancer aligns with clinical guideline recommendations.

In this case report, a 33-year-old pregnant woman with migraine and visual aura complained of headache, nausea, and blurred vision. Clinically, she presented with bilateral dilated and fixed pupils, ptosis, and tearing. She was erroneously diagnosed as having a migraine attack, but after referral to an ophthalmological department she was diagnosed with bilateral acute angle closure. At one-year follow-up her visual acuity was normalized but the severe visual field defects affected her daily activities and prevented her from having a driving licence.

The most frequent indication for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is hip osteoarthritis. THA is inserted to improve function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. Results are generally good, and 90-95% of the patients are satisfied. However, there are risks associated with THA, and patients must be well informed. Before THA is considered, non-surgical treatment must be completed, as the need for surgery often is postponed. Patients can expect rapid mobilisation and a return to a near-habitual level of physical activity within a year. In Denmark, 95% have their THA after five years and 76% after 25 years.

Congenital anomalies of the upper limb are in Denmark estimated to have an incidence of around 20 in 10,000 live births. This covers a wide array of conditions summarised in this review. At the time of referral, the patient is thoroughly examined, and a treatment plan is discussed with the family. In some cases, no treatment is needed, in others there might be a need for surgery, night splinting, or an upper limb prosthesis. In case an underlying syndromatic cause is suspected, the patient is referred for paediatric evaluation at specialized centre.

Infections in pregnancy are common, and although often not harmful to the woman or her unborn child, some infections may be associated with severe adverse outcomes. Pregnancy causes physiological and immunological adaptations which may make pregnant women more susceptible to infections and at increased risk of more severe illness. Infections in pregnancy represent a challenging area of concern for many specialists and general practitioners. Center for Pregnancy and Infection was developed to enhance knowledge, diagnosis, treatment, and care for pregnant women with infection in Denmark, as pointed out in this review.
孕期感染很常见,虽然通常不会对孕妇或胎儿造成危害,但有些感染可能会导致严重的不良后果。怀孕会导致生理和免疫方面的适应性变化,这可能会使孕妇更容易受到感染,并增加患更严重疾病的风险。对于许多专科医生和全科医生来说,孕期感染是一个具有挑战性的关注领域。正如本综述所指出的,丹麦成立了妊娠与感染中心(Center for Pregnancy and Infection),以加强对感染孕妇的了解、诊断、治疗和护理。

Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is a rare chronic inflammatory condition most commonly treated medically but in severe, treatment-refractory cases, surgery can be a better solution. In this case report, we present a patient with severe refractory AKN, treated with excision and direct split-thickness skin grafting in combination with negative pressure wound therapy. The patient achieved a satisfactory cosmetic and functional result within a relatively short healing period of six weeks.
