    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the predictive performance of the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) first-trimester screening algorithm for pre-eclampsia in a Danish population and compare screening performance with that of the current Danish strategy, which is based on maternal risk factors.
    Methods: This was a prospective study of women with a singleton pregnancy attending for their first-trimester ultrasound scan and screening for aneuploidies at six Danish university hospitals between May 2019 and December 2020. Prenatal data on maternal characteristics and medical history were recorded, and measurements of mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI), serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and serum placental growth factor (PlGF) were collected without performing a risk assessment for pre-eclampsia. Information on acetylsalicylic acid use was recorded. After delivery, pregnancy outcome, including gestational age at delivery and pre-eclampsia diagnosis, was recorded. Pre-eclampsia risk assessment for each woman was calculated blinded to outcome using the FMF screening algorithm following adjustment to the Danish population. Detection rates (DRs) of the FMF algorithm were calculated for a fixed screen-positive rate (SPR) of 10% and for the SPR achieved in the current Danish screening.
    Results: A total of 8783 pregnant women were included, with a median age of 30.8 (interquartile range (IQR), 28.1-33.9) years. The majority were white (95%), naturally conceiving (90%), non-smokers (97%) and had no family history of pre-eclampsia (96%). The median body mass index was 23.4 (IQR, 21.2-26.6) kg/m
    Conclusion: In this large Danish multicenter study, the FMF algorithm based on maternal characteristics, MAP, UtA-PI, PlGF and PAPP-A predicted 77.4% of cases with pre-eclampsia with delivery < 34 weeks and 66.8% of cases with pre-eclampsia with delivery < 37 weeks of gestation at a SPR of 10%, suggesting that the performance of the algorithm in a Danish cohort matches that in other populations. © 2023 The Authors.

    Abstract Background: Increases in brain glucose will worsen outcome after global cerebral ischemia, and some experimental evidence suggests that the duration of hyperglycemia also may influence outcome. Different types of hyperglycemia were studied to identify metabolic differences that might account for alterations in postischemic outcome.
    Methods: Ninety pentobarbital-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: normoglycemic nondiabetic rats (N) (n = 30), chronically hyperglycemic diabetic rats (HD) (n = 30), and acutely hyperglycemic, glucose-infused nondiabetic rats (HN) (n = 30). These groups were further subdivided into groups of six rats each that received 0, 2.5, 5, 10, or 15 min of complete cerebral ischemia (potassium chloride--induced cardiac arrest). Brains were excised after 10-kW focused microwave radiation and metabolites were measured using enzymatic fluorometric techniques.
    Results: At all study intervals, plasma glucose concentrations in HD and HN were fourfold greater than in N. Before ischemia, brain glucose concentrations in all groups were proportional to plasma glucose concentrations; however, brain glycogen concentrations did not differ among groups. After the onset of ischemia, there was an immediate diminution of brain glucose, glycogen, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and phosphocreatine that in all cases was most pronounced during the initial 2.5 min of ischemia. Consumption of carbohydrate stores and lactate production were greater in HD and HN than in N. HD had lesser preischemic ATP concentrations and energy charges relative to N and HN (P < 0.05), perhaps reflecting their disease state; however, at 2.5 min of ischemia, the relationship of ATP concentrations and energy charges was HN > HD > N (P < 0.05 among all). In all groups, ATP and phosphocreatine were more than 96% depleted by 10 min of ischemia. With few exceptions (ATP concentrations and energy charges before ischemia and at 2.5 min, and lactate concentration in HD < HN at 15 min), there were no measured metabolic differences between HD and HN.
    Conclusions: In these studies, the duration of hyperglycemia did not affect intraischemic carbohydrate consumption. At short durations of ischemia (2.5 min), both HD and HN groups had greater intraischemic ATP concentrations and energy charges than N; however, at longer durations of ischemia (> 5.0 min), high-energy phosphate depletion was similarly severe in all groups. These studies suggest that energy failure is not the origin of worse postischemic neurologic injury in hyperglycemic subjects, nor does energy failure readily explain reported differences between acutely and chronically hyperglycemic subjects exposed to global cerebral ischemia.

    Abstract Mit ICRU-Report 39 sind neue, fuer alle Strahlenarten einheitliche Groessen fuer Orts- und Personendosismessungen im Strahlenschutz empfohlen worden. Waehrend die Groessen fuer die Ortsdosimetrie unproblematisch zu sein scheinen, sind bei den Groessen fuer die Personendosimetrie noch Fragen hinsichtlich der zu fordernden energieabhaengigen und richtungsabhaengigen Ansprechvermoegen und der Kalibrierverfahren fuer die Personendosimeter ungeklaert. Konsequenterweise sollte die richtungsabhaengige Aequivalentdosis Bezugsgroesse fuer das Ansprechvermoegen sein. Aufgrund der bisher praktizierten Personendosimetrie erscheint es außerdem sinnvoll, abweichend von der ICRU-Empfehlung wie bisher das Produkt aus der Anzeige eines geeignet konstruierten und kalibrierten Dosimeters und dessen Kalibrierfaktor als "Personendosis" aufzufassen. Die Beziehungen zwichen den neuen ICRU-Groessen und den bisher benutzten werden diskutiert. Konversionsfunktionen zwischen Luftkerma bzw. Neutronenfluenz und den neuen Ortsdosisgroessen werden wiedergegeben.

    Abstract The basic limits for radiation exposure are stated by the International Commission on Radiological Protection in terms of mean dose equivalents to particular tissues and organs or of the effective dose equivalent ("primary quantities"). None of these can be measured directly. Instead, radiation protection of individuals relies on area and individual monitoring. However, unambigous relations between the monitoring results and the "primary quantities" do not exist. The International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements has recently recommended new unified operational quantities for area and individual monitoring, but, owing to individual variability and mobility, the intrinsic problem of individual monitoring continues to exist. In spite of the admitted uncertainties of individual monitoring, a sound metrological concept can produce measurement results of legal significance. This is achieved by a well defined calibration procedure for individual monitors in terms of the directional dose equivalent. After exposure of the monitor on the body of an individual, the monitor's reading multiplied by its calibration factor is taken as the "individual dose for recording", at least for radiation exposures below the investigation level. In this way, futile efforts at interpretation can be avoided.
