Humans have a propensity for rhythmicity, notably expressed in the domains of lan-guage and music. It is expressed through the abilities to produce and perceive rhyth-mic signals, as well as entrainment, which is the ability to synchronise movements inrelation to external rhythmic stimuli (e.g., dancing). However, it remains unclear asto how, why or when this rhythmic propensity evolved.A comparat

BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) can improve mammography screening by increasing cancer detection and reducing screen reading workload, but its effect on interval cancers (primary breast cancers diagnosed between two screening rounds or within 2 years after the last scheduled screening that were not detected at screening) is unknown. We aimed to compare the interval

BACKGROUND: Previous research has identified a need for relevant evidence-based clinical guidelines in primary care physiotherapy. However, an essential first step is to identify the most prevalent diagnoses among patients seeking physiotherapy. Thus, this study aims to (I) identify the most prevalent musculoskeletal diagnoses and, (II) describe physiotherapy utilization and patient characteristic

BACKGROUND: Trigger finger surgery typically has a successful outcome, also in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the impact of glycemic control on long-term outcomes after open trigger finger release (OTFR) remains unclear. This study examines whether high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels affect patient-reported outcome (PRO) following OTFR in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T

BACKGROUND: It remains unclear why cool temperatures cause more persistent adverse health effects compared to hot weather. Fluid homeostasis may constitute a causal link between past temperatures and adverse health effects. In this study we investigated the association between past outdoor temperatures and current fluid homeostasis.METHODS: We studied participants from five cohorts during three de

CONTEXT: Melatonin regulates circadian rhythms and influences glucose metabolism. Altered melatonin secretion may contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but prospective population-based evidence is scarce.OBJECTIVE: To examine whether low nocturnal melatonin secretion is associated with an increased risk of incident T2D in adults.METHODS: This prospective cohort study, with follo

BACKGROUND: Digital symptom checkers might help facilitate effective triage in primary healthcare. However, evidence regarding their acceptance among healthcare professionals remains limited. Identifying key factors of adoption is essential for successful integration into clinical practice.This study aims to identify factors most relevant to nurses' acceptance of a newly implemented digital triage
