    Abstract The Arctic is subjected to all-encompassing disruptions in marine ecosystems caused by anthropogenic warming. To provide reliable estimates of how future changes will affect the ecosystems, knowledge of Arctic marine ecosystem responses to past environmental variability beyond the instrumental era is essential. Here, we present a novel approach on how to evaluate the state of benthic marine biotic conditions during the deglacial and Holocene period on the Northeast Greenland shelf. Benthic foraminiferal species were assigned traits (e.g., oxygen tolerance, food preferences) aiming to identify past faunal changes as a response to external forcing mechanisms. This approach was applied on sediment cores from offshore Northeast Greenland. We performed numerical rate-of-change detection to determine significant changes in the benthic foraminiferal traits. That way, the significant abrupt trait changes can be assessed across sites, providing a better understanding of the impact of climate drivers on the traits. Our results demonstrate that during the last ~ 14,000 years, bottom water oxygen is the main factor affecting the variability in the benthic foraminiferal faunas in this area. Our results show that significant changes in the traits correspond to drastic climate perturbations. Specifically, the deglacial-Holocene transition and mid-Holocene warm period exhibited significant change, with several trait turnovers.

    Abstract Genomic conflict between the sexes is caused by differences in the optimal male and female reproductive strategies, and is a major contributor to genetic, phenotypic, and life history variation. While early experimental work appeared to strongly support the sexual conflict paradigm, recent work has produced more ambiguous results. Recent advances in experimental evolution studies combined with theoretical arguments can shed light on why measuring fitness under a conflict is so challenging, including the incidental alteration of mating dynamics, demographic effects, and inherent complexity in what quantity selection maximizes. We stress that non-intuitive results do not necessarily mean the absence of conflict, and follow-up experiments to determine why a priori predictions failed can ultimately teach us more than if they had been confirmed.

    Abstract Background: Childhood trauma (CT) are frequently reported by patients with bipolar disorder (BD), but it is unclear whether and how CT contribute to patients' cognitive and psychosocial impairments. We aimed to examine the impact of CT on cognition and psychosocial functioning in a large sample of 345 patients with BD and 183 healthy control participants (HC) using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, neurocognitive tests and ratings of mood symptoms and functioning.
    Results: Patients showed broad cognitive impairments across memory, attention and executive function and functional disability despite being in partial or full remission and had higher levels of CT than HC. Higher levels of CT correlated with impairments across almost all cognitive domains and lower psychosocial functioning across BD patients and HC. Of these, the associations between CT and poorer working memory and lower psychosocial functioning, respectively, prevailed after adjusting for clinical and demographical variables. Diagnosis of BD and estimated verbal intelligence did not moderate these associations. Analysis of CT sub-categories showed that working memory impairments were related particularly to childhood physical and emotional abuse, while psychosocial difficulties were related to physical and emotional neglect.
    Conclusions: CT may have negative implications for working memory and psychosocial functioning across both BD and healthy populations. If the findings are replicated, this would suggest that early interventions that reduce the frequency of CT in vulnerable families may aid children's cognitive and psychosocial development.

    Abstract Introduction: Reclassification of HER2-negative breast cancers to HER2 low-level expression allowed targeted anti-HER2 therapy in about 60% of patients, improving outcome. The high recurrence rates and often dismal outcomes with current therapies of high-grade Mullerian carcinomas, offers opportunity to explore anti-HER2 therapies in the gynecologic tract carcinomas. We investigated HER2 low expression as currently defined in breast carcinomas.
    Methods: We reviewed all high-grade Mullerian cancers between 2016 and 2021, where HER2 by IHC and/or FISH tests were available. Additional clinical information was recorded, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (version 27).
    Results: Forty (49.4%) tumors were endometrial, 20 (24.7%) ovarian, 16 (19.8%) fallopian tubal, and 5 (6.2%) primarily peritoneal. Overall, 17 (21.0%) were HER2 positive (IHC 3+/IHC 2+/FISH amplified), 31 (38.3%) HER2 low (IHC 1+/2+/FISH non-amplified), and 30 (37.0%) were HER2 negative (IHC = 0). HER2 low expression was noted in 15% ovarian, 25% fallopian tubal, 53% endometrial, and 60% peritoneal tumors; 34% and 21% of serous carcinomas, 63% and 13% of carcinosarcomas, and 67% and 33% of endometrioid carcinomas were HER2 low and HER2 positive respectively. HER2 negative and HER2 low expression had a significant association with primary tumor location (p = 0.001); endometrium and peritoneal tumors were more likely to be HER2 low and HER2 negative. During a mean follow-up of 13.2 months (range: 1-34), 5% of the patients were deceased.
    Conclusions: Based on the current HER2-low recommendations in the breast, about one-third of patients with high-grade Mullerian carcinomas might qualify for anti-HER2 therapy with a potential for improved progression-free and overall survival.

    Abstract Diabetes and hyperglycaemia are frequent diagnoses in the hospital, and in-hospital hyperglycaemia is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Insulin is the preferred treatment for in-hospital hyperglycaemia. This review summarises the management of hyperglycaemia in Danish hospitals. In Denmark, sliding-scale insulin is often applied with the addition of basal insulin after 1-2 days with hyperglycaemia which differs from international guidelines recommending a basal-bolus regimen. The optimal non-intensive care unit glucose targets, the safety and efficacy level of non-insulin antidiabetic agents, and continuous glucose monitoring are subjects of further research.

    Abstract Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measures glucose levels every 1 to 15 minutes and is widely used in clinical and research contexts. Statistical packages and algorithms reduce the time-consuming and error-prone process of manually calculating CGM metrics and contribute to standardizing CGM metrics defined by international consensus. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize existing data on (1) statistical
    Methods: A systematic literature search in PubMed and EMBASE was conducted on September 19, 2023. We also searched Google Scholar and Google Search until October 12, 2023 as sources of gray literature and performed reference checks of the included literature. Articles in English and Danish were included. This systematic review is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022378163).
    Results: A total of 8731 references were screened and 46 references were included. We identified 23 statistical packages for the analysis of CGM data. The statistical packages could calculate many metrics of the 2022 CGM consensus and non-consensus CGM metrics, and 22/23 (96%) statistical packages were freely available. Also, 23 statistical algorithms were identified. The statistical algorithms could be divided into three groups based on content: (1) CGM data reduction (eg, clustering of CGM data), (2) composite CGM outcomes, and (3) other CGM metrics.
    Conclusion: This systematic review provides detailed tabular and textual up-to-date descriptions of the contents of statistical packages and statistical algorithms for retrospective analysis of CGM data.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the role of E. coli virulence-associated genes (VAGs) in predicting urinary tract infection (UTI) as the source of bacteremia in two distinct hospital populations, one with a large general catchment area and one dominated by referrals.
    Methods: E. coli bacteremias identified at Department of Clinical Microbiology (DCM), Hvidovre Hospital and DCM, Rigshospitalet in the Capital Region of Denmark from October to December 2018. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS), we identified 358 VAGs from 224 E. coli bacteremia. For predictive analysis, VAGs were paired with clinical source of UTI from local bacteremia databases.
    Results: VAGs strongly predicting of UTI as primary infection source of bacteremia were primarily found within the pap gene family. papX (PPV 96%, sensitivity 54%) and papGII (PPV 93%, sensitivity 56%) were found highly predictive, but showed low sensitivities. The strength of VAG predictions of UTI as source varied significantly between the two hospital populations. VAGs had weaker predictions in the tertiary referral center (Rigshospitalet), a disparity likely stemming from differences in patient population and department specialization.
    Conclusion: WGS data was used to predict the primary source of E. coli bacteremia and is an attempt on a new and different type of infection source identification. Genomic data showed potential to be utilized to predict the primary source of infection; however, discrepancy between the best performing profile of VAGs between acute care hospitals and tertiary hospitals makes it difficult to implement in clinical practice.

    Abstract Stratified mucin-producing intraepithelial lesion (SMILE) is a histologic subtype of HPV-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ. We have observed benign endocervical changes resembling SMILE. We aim to characterize this pattern and explore its potential association with dysplasia. We retrospectively retrieved all 296 consecutive cases accessioned as endocervical biopsies. Some included multiple specimens, totaling 483 biopsies and 219 endocervical curettages (ECC), n = 702. We included cases showing endocervical epithelial stratification often with pencillate (triangular-shaped) nuclei. We rejected cases in which layering represented tangential sectioning, metaplasia, microglandular hyperplasia, gastric type epithelial changes, and dysplasia. We found benign stratified intraepithelial mucinous proliferation in 51 patients, either with a multilayered (n = 27) or a two-layered appearance (n = 24). Overall, multilayered proliferation occurred in 6 % (29/483) of biopsies and in 0.9 % of ECCs (2/219). Two-layering was identified in 4 % of all biopsies (20/482) and was not seen in ECCs. Histologic findings included stratification, intracytoplasmic mucin, paler cytoplasm, low nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, often pencillate nuclei, rare mitoses, and no apoptotic bodies. P16 immunohistochemistry (n = 12) was negative, suggesting absence of underlying high-risk HPV infection. HSIL was concomitant in 29.6 % (8/27) of patients with multilayered proliferation. Concurrent SMILE was not observed. We also reviewed 13 SMILE cases. Concurrent multilayered benign proliferation was identified in 54 % (7/13) of cases. We describe benign stratified intraepithelial mucinous proliferation of the cervix, which morphologically may overlap with SMILE. Its presence in most SMILE cases suggests a potential relationship. The multilayered form represents a diagnostic pitfall when mitotically active. Because of the often-coexistent HSIL, we propose that its presence should prompt scrutiny to rule out any associated dysplasia.
