Dette projekt er udført af en gruppe forskere fra Sektion for Landskabsarkitektur og Planlægning, Københavns Universitet, som et pilotprojekt, på foranledning af Gudenåkomitéen. Gudenåkomitéen er et samarbejde mellem de syv kommuner, der deler Gudenåens hovedløb: Hedensted, Horsens, Skanderborg, Silkeborg, Viborg, Favrskov og Randers Kommuner. Komitéen består af ét kommunalt bestyrelsesmedlem fra hver medlemskommune. Formålet med pilotprojektet er at skabe en platform for en kommende implementering af den Helhedsplan for Gudenåen som Gudenåkomitéen enedes om i 2021. De enkelte dele af pilotprojektet omfatter en række analyser af landbrug og landskab langs Gudenåens hovedløb, en identifikation af mulige strategiske projekter, en gennemgang af de gennemførte aktørworkshops og anvendelse af film som planlægnings- og dialogredskab. Resultaterne præsenteres dels i denne rapport, dels i form af en pilotfilm, der anviser mediets muligheder som analyse-, dialog- og kommunikationsredskab i forbindelse med inddragende planlægning. Pilotfilmen kan tilgås direkte via link i kapitel V.

During 2020, an increase of functional tics in children and adolescents has been observed. In this review, we present phenotypes, differential diagnosis and treatment for functional tics. We discuss potential contributing causes, like the COVID-19 pandemic and the focus on tics on social media. Functional tics are more complex than tics seen in Tourette syndrome and develop more suddenly in relation to stressors mainly in teenage girls. Psychosocial issues and comorbidities must be addressed and treated by a multidisciplinary team through psychoeducation and if necessary, cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Background and aim Diagnostic imaging is the second most used paraclinical examination in Denmark and 15% of all referrals from general practice concerns radiology. The fast development in diagnostic imaging constitutes a challenge for general practitioners’ when determining the right type of radiological examination for the right patient. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the quality and radiological relevance of referrals from general practice. Method Over an 8-week period radiologists reviewed randomly sampled referrals from general practice to different modalities; X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI regarding musculoskeletal issues. The reviews were conducted according to a preformed registration schema. Themes for the survey were: Relevance of referral, relevance of chosen modality, exhaustiveness of referral information, relevance of information and eventual suggestions for a more relevant modality.Results Four regional radiological departments participated in the study. A total of 785 referrals were reviewed. Most reviews were conducted on x-ray referrals (35%). Diagnostic imaging was considered relevant or very relevant in 73.5% of the reviewed referrals, of which referrals to CT-scanning was the most relevant (87%). Overall, referral information was relevant in 80% of the cases, and most relevant in referrals to x-ray (87%). In 9.5% of referrals the chosen modality was not the optimal, which was most pronounced for ultrasound referrals (13%). Referral information was most insufficient regarding MRI, where 56.4% of information was described as less insufficient/insufficient. It was a frequent notation, that there was too much irrelevant information, which was ascribed to copy-paste from the general practitioners’ records. Conclusion A majority of referrals from general practice to diagnostic imaging were considered relevant from a radiologic perspective. However, there seems to be a potential for development regarding the exhaustiveness of information and modality relevance, particularly for referrals to MRI and ultrasound.

Microscopic colitis (MC) is a common cause of chronic, non-bloody diarrhoea in the elderly population. In Denmark the incidence has been rising for the last decades. Sufficient biopsy material from colon mucosa is essential for the diagnosis. Treatment is important to improve the patient's quality of life, which is significantly impaired in active MC. This paper reviews newly published data regarding epidemiology, diagnostic criteria and a new European treatment guideline and also includes updates on ongoing and future studies in MC.
