- This is a case report of a 51-year-old woman with bilateral stress fractures of the pelvic rami and a history of anorexia nervosa (AN). AN is a psychiatric condition of low weight caused by restricted food intake, impaired body image and an exaggerated fear of gaining weight in addition to compensating behaviour such as excessive physical activity. Among patients with AN, reduced bone density is common, and a higher risk of fractures is present. Stress fractures should be suspected in patients, who have AN and experience pain from the musculoskeletal system without a history of trauma.

- The results of this study stresses the need for careful and well-conducted neurological and psychiatric assessments in patients with psychogenic paralyses, bearing in mind the substantial possibility for coinciding illnesses. If this is ensured, it appears that the risk of subsequent neurological rediagnosis is negligible.

- Interviews were carried out with 423 women and 93 men with invasive or in situ anal cancer in Denmark and Sweden in a search for clues to the aetiology of this neoplasm. Patients with rectal adenocarcinoma (n = 534) and persons drawn from the background population (n = 554) served as controls. Multivariate logistic regression analyses confirmed previous observations of a strong association between either male homosexual experience or a history of anogenital warts and the risk for anal cancer. Moreover, hitherto unknown, but strong and consistent associations were observed between measures of high heterosexual activity and the risk for anal cancer among both sexes. Polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed human papilloma-virus DNA in the majority (88%) of anal cancer specimens but in none of 20 examined rectal adenocarcinomas. It is concluded that most anal cancers appear to be caused by sexually transmitted types of human papillomaviruses and, consequently, that anal cancer is a potentially preventable neoplasm.

[Metabolic control by means of insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes and acute myocardial infarction (DIGAMI 2): effects on mortality and morbidity--secondary publication]

- Patients with diabetes have an unfavourable prognosis after an acute myocardial infarction. The DIGAMI 2 study investigated the effect of various metabolic treatment strategies in type 2 diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction: acutely introduced, long-term insulin treatment did not improve survival when compared with conventional management at similar levels of glucose control. However, good glucose control seems important since the glucose level was found to be a strong predictor of long-term mortality in this patient category.

- The refeeding syndrome (RFS) is a potentially fatal condition involving fluid and electrolyte imbalances after refeeding in patients with anorexia nervosa. Low-calorie diet added thiamine and minerals is the standard approach to prevent RFS. In a recent systematic review starting with a higher calorie amount than earlier has been recommended, and in another review, it is proposed that a restriction in the amount of carbohydrates may allow for a higher calorie intake early on to enable a safe and faster weight gain. There are still many unanswered questions, but these studies may point to a future change in the guidelines.

- INTRODUCTION: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) allows important functions in the brain cortex to be mapped noninvasively. The purpose with this work was to investigate a possible correlation between the distance from the tumour margin to fMRI activity and postoperative neurological deficits by means of a standardised method for measurement of distance. A second purpose was to investigate the influence of preoperative fMRI on the neurosurgical decision-making process. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study of 25 patients. The inclusion criteria were surgery or biopsy after fMRI plus a three-month postoperative assessment. A total of 14 patients complied with these requirements (six men and eight women, the mean age was 39 years). fMRI raw data was collected using a three tesla magnetic resonance scanner (Signa HDx R14M5, GE Healthcare). The distance from the tumour margin to fMRI activation was measured using GE-reformat version 4.2 after raw data had been postprocessed using GE BrainwavePA version 1.3.08130. The neurosurgeons valuation of fMRI in the preoperative decision-making process was obtained using a standard questionnaire. RESULTS: There was a trend of association between distance from tumour to eloquent functional areas and the patients' postoperative neurological outcome (Fisher's exact test: distance < 15 mm, p = 0.43; distance < 10 mm, p = 0.14). fMRI proved very useful when deciding whether to operate or not (42%), when deciding the surgical approach (50%) and when deciding the extent of the surgical approach (83%). CONCLUSION: The standardised method for measurement of distance between tumour margin and fMRI activity can contribute to the preoperative risk assessment in patients with brain tumours.

- This review describes the ScandiaTransplant Kidney Exchange Programme and the background of renal exchange programmes gaining popularity worldwide, possibilities and limitations of the programmes, the ethical aspects and perspectives. The first kidney exchanges between Danish and Swedish countries were performed in 2019, and until now 23 exchanges and transplantations have been performed. All surgical procedures have been performed simultaneously and/or coordinated at different hospitals in Scandinavia, and the kidney grafts were transported between the participating units

- Patients, health-care professionals and the public expect safe health care. The system, however, is not safe and patients are being harmed. Workplace and organizational conditions and human factors contribute to these harms and a system approach is needed to avoid them. In clinical microsystems (CMS), the frontline units of health care, staff and patients can make care safer by learning about their system, its processes, members and purposes. Approaches from patient safety should be integrated in the daily work of every member of the CMS to reduce risk, implement safe practices and learn from errors. We summarize methods for use in CMS and offer ideas for fostering a proactive culture of patient safety.
