Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate diurnal variations of admissions in acute psychiatry. Method: The registration of 2763 submissions were conducted from 01.04.15–31.12.17 at the University Hospital of North-Norway by completing a form for every admission. Results: The results revealed that a majority of the admissions took place at evening and nighttime. There were significantly (p = .001) more admissions at evening and night. Results revealed that 21,[A1] 5 % (539) of the admissions were between 00:00–08:00, whereas 27,5 % (758) of the admissions were between 08:00–16:00, and 51 % (1409) of the admissions were between 16:00–00:00. Conclusion: The causes behind this distribution of the admissions should be investigated in future studies. Future studies should ask the patients about the causes of the late admissions.

Among numerous other immune-mediated diseases, glomerulonephritis has also been suspected to be an extrahepatic manifestation of HEV infection. In this prospective study, we tested 108 patients with glomerulonephritis and 108 age- and sex-matched healthy controls at the University Hospital Hamburg Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany, for anti-HEV IgG (Wantai test) as a marker for previous HEV exposure. A total of 24 patients (22%) tested positive for anti-HEV IgG. Males tended to be more frequently anti-HEV IgG positive (29%) in comparison to females (16%). However, this does not reach statistical significance (p = 0.07). Anti-HEV IgG positive patients were older in comparison to negative patients (mean 53 vs. 45 years, p = 0.05). The kidney function seems to be slightly decreased in anti-HEV IgG positive patients in comparison to and anti-HEV IgG negative patients basing on creatinine (p = 0.04) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (p = 0.05). Slightly higher values of bilirubin could be found in IgG positive patients (p = 0.04). Anti-HEV-IgG seropositivity rate (22%) in glomerulonephritis patients, did not differ significantly in comparison to an age- and sex-matched control cohort of healthy blood donors (31/108 positive, 29%). A total of 2/2 patients with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) tested anti-HEV IgG positive (p = 0.002 in comparison to glomerulonephritis patients with other subtypes).In conclusion, our findings indicate that previous HEV exposure in a region where GT3 is endemic is not associated with glomerulonephritis in general. However, the subgroup of MPGN patients should be investigated in future studies. Furthermore, future studies are needed to investigate whether the observed association between anti-HEV IgG positivity and reduced GFR in glomerulonephritis patients is HEV associated or is an age-related effect.

SUMMARYAim – Since the importance of latitude of living for the prevalence of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is unclear, the study aims to test the latitude hypothesis by comparing SAD in two rather similar groups of students living at latitudes far apart. Methods – Two groups of students, 199 in Tromsø, Norway (690 N) and 188 in Ferrara, Italy (440 N) were asked to fill in the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire. Results – Global Seasonality score (GS-score) was significantly higher in Italian than in Norwegian students, in females and in students with sleeping-problems. Norwegian students had significantly higher SAD prevalence in winter and in spring. Most people in both countries felt worst in October and November, and the prevalence of Autumn SAD was not significantly different between the two countries. Conclusions – The hypothesis that SAD is linked to amount of environmental light and latitude of living was not supported.Declaration of Interest: The study was fully financed by the University of Tromsø and the University Hospital North Norway, and there are no conflicts of interests.

Abstract Background Rectal endoscopic full- thickness dissection (EFTD) using a flexible colonoscope is an alternative to the well-established trans-anal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and the trans-anal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) techniques for resecting dysplastic or malignant rectal lesions. This study evaluated EFTD safety by analyzing outcomes of the first patients to undergo rectal EFTD at the University Hospital of North-Norway. Methods The first 10 patients to undergo rectal EFTD at the University Hospital of North-Norway April, 2016 and January, 2021, were included in the study. The procedural indications for EFTD were therapeutic resection of non-lifting adenoma, T1 adenocarcinoma (AC), recurrent neuroendocrine tumor (NET) and re-excision of a T1-2 AC. Results EFTD rectal specimen histopathology revealed three ACs, five adenomas with high-grade dysplasia (HGD), one NET and one benign lesion. Six procedures had negative lateral and vertical resection margins and in three cases lateral margins could not be evaluated due to piece-meal dissection or heat damaged tissue. Two patients experienced delayed post-procedural hemorrhage, one of whom also presented with a concurrent post-procedural infection. No serious complications occurred. Conclusion Preliminary results from this introductory trial indicate that EFTD in the rectum can be conducted with satisfactory perioperative results and low risk of serious complications.

Background: Haemostatic puncture closure devices for rapid and effective hemostasis after arterial catheterisation are a comfortable alternative to manual compression. Implanting a collagen plug against the vessel wall may become responsible for other kind of vascular injuries i.e. thrombotic or stenotic lesions and peripheral embolisation. The aim of this paper is to report our clinically relevant vascular complications after Angio-Seal® and to discuss the results in the light of the current literature. Patients and methods: We report the symptomatic vascular complications in 17 of 7376 patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic catheterisation between May 2000 and March 2003 at the University Hospital Basel. Results: Most patients presented with ischaemic symptoms, arterial stenoses or occlusions and thrombotic lesions (n = 14), whereas pseudoaneurysms were extremely rare (n = 3). Most patients with ischaemic lesions underwent vascular surgery and all patients with a pseudoaneurysm were successfully treated by ultrasound-guided compression. Conclusions: Severe vascular complications after Angio-Seal® are rare, consistent with the current literature. There may be a shift from pseudoaneurysms to ischaemic lesions.

AbstractResults are presented of the user evaluation of an integrated medical workstation for support of clinical research. Twenty-seven users were recruited from medical and scientific staff of the University Hospital Dijkzigt, the Faculty of Medicine of the Erasmus University Rotterdam, and from other Dutch medical institutions; and all were given a written, self-contained tutorial. Subsequently, an experiment was done in which six clinical data analysis problems had to be solved and an evaluation form was filled out. The aim of this user evaluation was to obtain insight in the benefits of integration for support of clinical data analysis for clinicians and biomedical researchers. The problems were divided into two sets, with gradually more complex problems. In the first set users were guided in a stepwise fashion to solve the problems. In the second set each stepwise problem had an open counterpart. During the evaluation, the workstation continuously recorded the user’s actions. From these results significant differences became apparent between clinicians and non-clinicians for the correctness (means 54% and 81%, respectively, p = 0.04), completeness (means 64% and 88%, respectively, p = 0.01), and number of problems solved (means 67% and 90%, respectively, p = 0.02). These differences were absent for the stepwise problems. Physicians tend to skip more problems than biomedical researchers. No statistically significant differences were found between users with and without clinical data analysis experience, for correctness (means 74% and 72%, respectively, p = 0.95), and completeness (means 82% and 79%, respectively, p = 0.40). It appeared that various clinical research problems can be solved easily with support of the workstation; the results of this experiment can be used as guidance for the development of the successor of this prototype workstation and serve as a reference for the assessment of next versions.

Abstract:The sharing of knowledge worldwide using hypermedia facilities and fast communication protocols (i.e., Mosaic and World Wide Web) provides a growth capacity with tremendous versatility and efficacy. The example of ExPASy, a molecular biology server developed at the University Hospital of Geneva, is striking. ExPASy provides hypermedia facilities to browse through several up-to-date biological and medical databases around the world and to link information from protein maps to genome information and diseases. Its extensive access is open through World Wide Web. Its concept could be extended to patient data including texts, laboratory data, relevant literature findings, sounds, images and movies. A new hypermedia culture is spreading very rapidly where the international fast transmission of documents is the central element. It is part of the emerging new “information society”.
