This review summarises the present knowledge of prophylactic progesterone and preterm birth. Preterm birth (less-than 37 weeks) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. The incidence varies globally but remains low in the Nordic countries (5-6%). Prediction and prevention are complicated due to diverse aetiology, but obstetric history and cervical length can improve prediction. Prophylactic vaginal progesterone initiated between 12 and 24 weeks of gestation is recommended to reduce preterm birth less-than 33-35 weeks in singleton pregnancies with a history of preterm birth or with a short cervix (less-than 25 mm) and can be considered for twin pregnancies with the same risk factors.

Amoxicillin/clavulanate is a commonly used antibiotic. Though relatively rare, amoxicillin/clavulanate carries the highest incidence of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver disease. This case report presents an 80-year-old woman treated for simple respiratory tract infection with amoxicillin/clavulanate who was subsequently hospitalized with malaise and icterus and a biochemical cholestatic pattern with high alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin. Diagnostically challenging, ultimately, liver biopsy revealed drug-induced liver injury with a fatal course after attempt of supportive, symptomatic treatment.

Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAI) is a frequently used treatment modality which has advantages over oral antipsychotics regarding hospitalization or relapse prevention. However, the pharmacokinetic properties of LAI greatly differ from oral antipsychotics. This necessitates an increased knowledge about LAI among clinicians, especially when commencing treatment, changing doses and discontinuing treatment. In this review, we summarize an array of clinically important characteristics of LAI and give a conceptual framework for understanding the pharmacokinetics of LAI.
长效注射抗精神病药物(LAI)是一种常用的治疗方式,与口服抗精神病药物相比,它在住院治疗或预防复发方面具有优势。然而,LAI 的药代动力学特性与口服抗精神病药物有很大不同。因此,临床医生有必要增加对LAI的了解,尤其是在开始治疗、改变剂量和中止治疗时。在本综述中,我们总结了 LAI 在临床上的一系列重要特征,并给出了理解 LAI 药代动力学的概念框架。

Assessment and treatment of hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are challenging. In advanced CKD HbA1c can be unreliable, and treatment adjustments should be supported by other glucose measurements (e.g., continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or blood glucose measurements). Glucose-lowering treatments should be evaluated based on CKD and an individualised assessment of risk factors especially hypoglycaemia. This review aims at providing an overview of the options for glycaemic monitoring and glucose-lowering treatments in people with diabetes and CKD.

This review investigates that there has been an increase in incidental brain MRI findings due to better technology and more scans. These unexpected, asymptomatic anomalies range from harmless to serious, requiring careful clinical and ethical handling. The prevalence of incidental findings with brain MRI is 6.3% and even higher when including white matter hyperintensities. There is a significant variation in this number dependent on the age of the person being scanned and the MRI quality.

Around 2,500 women receive a breast augmentation with silicone-based implants yearly in Denmark. A number of these women report various uncharacteristic systemic symptoms, which they attribute to the breast implants, including impaired cognition, joint pain, etc. This condition has been termed “breast implant illness” and is currently not a recognised diagnosis. The correlation between the patient’s self-reported symptoms and breast implants has not been established and there is limited evidence that surgery has any effect. In this review, the current literature on the topic has been reviewed.

This review investigates that, in 2023, fatty liver disease underwent a name change to “steatotic liver disease” (SLD). SLD now includes metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), and metabolic and alcohol-related liver disease (MetALD). The renaming aims to better incorporate alcohol intake and metabolic risk factors into disease classification and to diminish the stigma associated with the previous nomenclature. Early identification of the patient’s aetiology is important for the prognosis which can be improved by interventions against the causative risk factors.
