Background: Accelerated perioperative rehabilitation protocols following total hip and knee arthroplasties are currently being implemented worldwide, but the cost-effectiveness of these from a societal perspective is not known. We compared an accelerated care protocol with that more standard for patients treated arthroplasty. Methods: A study was undertaken as piggybacked on randomized clinical trial comparing early outcomes intensive postoperative regimen those protocol. assessed...

Prospective study of prevalence and endoscopic histopathologic characteristics duodenal polyps in patients submitted to upper endoscopy. Scand J Gastroenterology 1994;29:483-487.Background: Retrospective studies have shown a 0.3%-1.5% referred endoscopy, classifications been inconsistent.

Denmark implemented a major reform of the administrative and political structure in 2007 when previous 13 counties were merged into five new regions number municipalities was reduced from 271 to 98. A main objective create units that large enough support hospital with few acute hospitals each region centralize specialized care fewer hospitals. This paper analyses reorganization somatic sector since 2007, discusses mechanisms behind changes performance after reform. The focused on improving...
Nonylphenol has been found to be oestrogenic in fish and may influence the reproductive system of male fish. In present study, effects low (10 microg g-1 week-1) high (100 doses nonylphenol 17 beta-oestradiol on synthesis vitellogenin testicular structure cytology were investigated eelpout Zoarces viviparus during active spermatogenesis (May) late (June). Twenty-five days after injection, a significant dose-dependent increase plasma concentration, measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
Introduction: Potentially avoidable hospitalizations in chronic conditions are used to evaluate health-care performance. However, evidence comparing different countries at small geographical areas is still scarce. The aim of the present study describe and discuss differences rates time-trends across from five European countries. Methods: Observational, ecological study, on virtually all discharges produced between 2002 2009. were operationally defined as a joint indicator composed six...
Circulating BDNF is higher in women than men and suggested to be affected by changes food intake, body weight, exercise. The purpose of this study was compare concentrations during a 12-week weight loss intervention. Using previously published randomized study, serum assessed at baseline after 12 weeks using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Fifty overweight or obese but healthy individuals (26 women, mean age 36.4 ± 7.9 years; 24 men, 38.0 5.9 years) were included allocated into...
In Brief Study Design. Cost-utility evaluation of a randomized, controlled trial with 4- to 8-year follow-up. Objective. To investigate the incremental cost per quality-adjusted-life-year (QALY) when comparing circumferential fusion posterolateral in long-term, societal perspective. Summary Background Data. The cost-effectiveness long-term perspective is uncertain but nonetheless highly relevant as ISSLS prize winner 2006 clinical studies reported effect superior fusion. A recent found no...
Abstract Background: Vascular growth is a prerequisite for adipose tissue (AT) development and expansion. Some AT cytokines hormones have effects on vascular development, like endothelial factor (VEGF‐A), angiopoietin (ANG‐1), ANG‐2 angiopoietin‐like protein‐4 (ANGPTL‐4). Methods: In this study, the independent combined of diet‐induced weight loss exercise gene expression proteins levels those angiogenic factors were investigated. Seventy‐nine obese males females randomized to: 1....
The Nordic countries are well-known for their welfare states. A very important feature of the state is that it aims at easy and equal access to adequate health care entire population. For many years, systems were automatically viewed as similar, they placed in same group when OECD classified around world. However, close inspection soon reveals there differences between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway Sweden. Consequently, perhaps no surprise fell into three different categories revised its...
OBJECTIVE: First-degree relatives (FDR) of type 2 diabetic patients are often insulin resistant. Visceral obesity is closely linked to both resistance and diabetes. We therefore hypothesized that the inheritance an increased tendency store fat in visceral depots may be a characteristic phenotypic feature FDR contributing their resistance. DESIGN AND METHODS: measured distribution 20 14 age-, gender- body mass index (BMI)-matched controls employing dual energy X-ray absorbtiometry (DEXA)-...
In this article, we investigate developments in Danish health care policy. After a short presentation of its historical roots, focus on the decades after administrative reform 1970, which shaped current decentralized public system. Theories path dependency and institutional inertia are used to explain relative stability overall structure, theories policy process discuss gradual changes within framework. Although comprehensive reforms have not taken place Denmark, many may pave way for more...
Background: Strengthening health-care effectiveness, increasing accessibility and improving resilience are key goals in the upcoming European Union agenda. Collaboration for Health-Care Optimization (ECHO), an international research project on performance assessment funded by seventh framework programme, has provided evidence methodology to allow attainment of those goals. This article aims at describing ECHO, analysing its main instruments discussing some ECHO policy implications. Methods:...
