There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) meal induced GLP-1 secretion is dramatically increased, while beta-cell function is increased in type 2 diabetic (T2D) subjects. The aim of this study is to establish causality between the two observations. By meal testing 10 T2D subjects with infusion of saline or exendin (9-39), a GLP-1R specific blocker, before and 1 week and 3 months after RYGB we hope to demonstrate the role of GLP-1 in improveing beta-cell function and maintaing glucose tolerance after RYGB in T2D subjects. Furthermore, effects of GLP-1 rec blockade before and after RYGB on ad libitum energy intake is examined
Background: Single-port laparoscopic surgery is emerging as a method to improve morbidity and cosmetic benefits of conventional laparoscopic surgery and minimize the surgical trauma. However, the feasibility of this procedure in rectal surgery has not been determined yet. The aim of this study is to evaluate our initial experience using single port access in laparoscopic rectal surgery. Design: randomized, prospective clinical study Patients: 40 patients
The purpose of this method study in healthy volunteers is to determine the extent of sensory block following Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block with 24 hours infusion of ropivacaine versus infusion of saline. Furthermore, to determined the analgesic effect of the TAP block and the influence on the lung function.
The present study is based on cross-sectional data from the baseline investigations carried out in OPUS School Meal Study - a randomized crossover study carried out in 9 primary schools in Denmark 2011-2012. Approximately 800 Danish school children from 3rd and 4th grades (8-12 year olds) took part in these baseline investigations of socioeconomic status, pubertal status, growth status, learning abilities, well-being, sleep, physical activity and risk markers of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), type II diabetes and osteoporosis.
Total knee and hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis is performed on still broader indications even in elderly patients with previous or current medical conditions. Especially comorbidity like cardiovascular diseases and conditions with increased risk of bleeding or previous thrombo-embolic events are major challenges. To facilitate safe use of ropivacaine as an analgesic, information on the concentrations levels after autologous blood transfusion following local infiltration analgesia is very crucial. However, very limited data are available. To verify the safety of autologous blood transfusion, ropivacaine concentrations were studied in 52 patients undergoing either total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty.
The aim of this study is to investigate the post operational mobilization after volar locking plate osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures. One group is admitted training exercises just after the fracture treatment, one group after 14 days immobilization in a cast. The primary hypothesis is, that immediate training leads to earlier and faster recovery. Our second hypothesis is, that immediate training does not lead to increased risk of fracture displacement.
This is a 2-year study to evaluate the effect of denosumab versus risedronate in adults with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with romosozumab is effective in preventing fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis
Background: Chronic Idiopathic Hyperventilation (CIH) is a form of dysfunctional breathing which has proven hard to treat effectively. The investigators hypothesised that by periodically inducing normocapnia over several weeks, it would be possible to raise the normal resting level/set point of CO2 and achieve a reduction of symptoms. Methods: Six CIH patients were treated two hours a day for four weeks with a novel breathing mask. The mask was used to induce normocapnia in these chronically hypocapnic patients. Capillary blood gases (PcCO2, pH, Standard Base Excess (SBE) etc.) were measured at baseline and once each week at least three hours after mask use, as well as spirometric values, breath holding tolerance and hyperventilation symptoms as per the Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ),.
Retrospective trial of 300 patients with pituitary insufficiency treated in Department of Medica Endocrinology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University concerning levothyroxine (T4) replacement and cardiovascular risk factors. The hypothesis is that subtle central hypothyroidism is associated with adverse cardiac risk factors, such as body composition and serum lipids, and that improved T4 replacement will eliminate this increased risk, independently of other pituitary hormone replacements.
