Abstract
The term 'sclerosing diseases of the skin' comprises specific dermatological entities, which have fibrotic changes of the skin in common. These diseases mostly manifest in different clinical subtypes according to cutaneous and extracutaneous involvement and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from each other. The present consensus provides an update to the 2017 European Dermatology Forum Guidelines, focusing on characteristic clinical and histopathological features, diagnostic scores and the serum autoantibodies most useful for differential diagnosis. In addition, updated strategies for the first- and advanced-line therapy of sclerosing skin diseases are addressed in detail. Part 1 of this consensus provides clinicians with an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of localized scleroderma (morphea), and systemic sclerosis including overlap syndromes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diastolic dysfunction (DD) in heart failure (HF) is associated with increased myocardial cytosolic calcium, and calcium-efflux via the sodium-calcium-exchanger depends on the sodium gradient. Beta-3-adrenoceptor (β3-AR)-agonist lowers cytosolic sodium and has been shown to reverse organ congestion.
Purpose
To assess whether β3-AR-agonist treatment improves DD.
Methods
In a first-in-man randomized controlled, double-blind trial, we assigned 70 patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (NYHA II–III) and LVEF <40% to receive mirabegron (300 mg/day) or placebo for 6 months, in addition to recommended HF-therapy. Patients were assessed with echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CCT) at baseline and follow-up. DD was graded according to the current American/European guidelines.
Results
Baseline and follow-up echocardiographic data were available in 57 patients (59±11 years, 88% male, 49% ischemic heart disease). Baseline LVEF was 34%±8%. No significant change in DD grade was found between the groups at follow-up, p=0.72. Neither was there any clinical differences in any singular diastolic parameters within or between groups by echocardiography (E/e' placebo: 13.3±6.9 to 12.6±5.1, p=0.19 vs. mirabegron: 12.0±5.7 to 12.8±7.9, p=0.67, mean difference 1.12 [95% CI −1.68 to 4.3], p=0.37), or CCT (left atrial max volume index: between group mean difference 0.2 [95% CI −6.2 to 5.6] ml/m2, p=0.91).
Conclusions
In patients with HFrEF, no improvement nor worsening in DD gradings or singular diastolic parameters after β3-AR stimulation compared to placebo were identified. The findings add to previous literature questioning the role of impaired Na+-Ca2+ mediated Ca2+ export as a major culprit in DD.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this parallel-group, double-blinded (study personnel and participants), randomised clinical trial was to assess the interaction between metformin and exercise training on postprandial glucose in glucose-intolerant individuals. METHODS Glucose-intolerant (2 h OGTT glucose of 7.8-11.0 mmol/l and/or HbA1c of 39-47 mmol/mol [5.7-6.5%] or glucose-lowering-medication naive type 2 diabetes), overweight/obese (BMI 25-42 kg/m2) individuals were randomly allocated to a placebo study group (PLA, n = 15) or a metformin study group (MET, n = 14), and underwent 3 experimental days: BASELINE (before randomisation), MEDICATION (after 3 weeks of metformin [2 g/day] or placebo treatment) and TRAINING (after 12 weeks of exercise training in combination with metformin/placebo treatment). Training consisted of supervised bicycle interval sessions with a mean intensity of 64% of Wattmax for 45 min, 4 times/week. The primary outcome was postprandial glucose (mean glucose concentration) during a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), which was assessed on each experimental day. For within-group differences, a group × time interaction was assessed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA. Between-group changes of the outcomes at different timepoints were compared using unpaired two-tailed Student's t tests. RESULTS Postprandial glucose improved from BASELINE to TRAINING in both the PLA group and the MET group (∆PLA: -0.7 [95% CI -1.4, 0.0] mmol/l, p = 0.05 and ∆MET: -0.7 [-1.5, -0.0] mmol/l, p = 0.03), with no between-group difference (p = 0.92). In PLA, the entire reduction was seen from MEDICATION to TRAINING (-0.8 [-1.3, -0.1] mmol/l, p = 0.01). Conversely, in MET, the entire reduction was observed from BASELINE to MEDICATION (-0.9 [-1.6, -0.2] mmol/l, p = 0.01). The reductions in mean glucose concentration during the MMTT from BASELINE to TRAINING were dependent on differential time effects: in the PLA group, a decrease was observed at timepoint (t) = 120 min (p = 0.009), whereas in the MET group, a reduction occurred at t = 30 min (p < 0.001). V̇O2peak increased 15% (4.6 [3.3, 5.9] ml kg-1 min-1, p < 0.0001) from MEDICATION to TRAINING and body weight decreased (-4.0 [-5.2, -2.7] kg, p < 0.0001) from BASELINE to TRAINING, with no between-group differences (p = 0.7 and p = 0.5, respectively). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Metformin plus exercise training was not superior to exercise training alone in improving postprandial glucose. The differential time effects during the MMTT suggest an interaction between the two modalities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Noninvasive evaluation of patients with stable angina is preferable over invasive testing if it leads to similar patient outcome. The combination of coronary angiography and vasodilator challenge myocardial perfusion imaging by computed tomography allows fast, comprehensive assessment of patients with suspected coronary heart disease.
Purpose
To compare the long-term prognostic value of combined computed tomography angiography (CTA) and myocardial CT perfusion imaging (CTP) with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT) in patients with suspected hemodynamically significant coronary heart disease.
Methods
At 16 centres, 381 patients were followed for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) for the CORE320 study. All patients underwent coronary CTA, CTP, and SPECT before ICA. Prognostic performance according binary results (normal/abnormal) was assessed by 5-year major cardiovascular events (MACE) free survival and area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC).
Results
Follow up beyond 2-years was available in 323 patients. MACE-free survival rate was greater among patients with normal combined CTA/CTP findings compared to ICA/SPECT: 85 vs. 80% (95% confidence interval [CI] for difference 0.1, 11.3) though event-free survival time was similar (4.54 vs. 4.37 years, 95% CI for difference: 0.03, 0.36). Abnormal results by combined CTA/CTP was associated with 3.83 years event-free survival vs. 3.66 years after abnormal combined ICA/SPECT (95% CI for difference: 0.05, 0.39, CI −1.0, 11.1) (Figure). Predicting MACE by AUC also was similar: 65 vs. 65 (difference 0.1; 95% CI: −4.6, 4.9). When MACE was restricted to death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, AUC for CTA/CTP was 66 vs. 61 by ICA/SPECT (difference 5.1; 95% CI: −7.1, 12.9).
Conclusions
Combined CTA/CTP yield similar 5-year prognostic performance as joined ICA/SPECT assessment in patients presenting with suspected coronary heart disease and thus may represent a fast, non-invasive alternative to the traditional diagnostic approach.

Abstract
The term 'sclerosing diseases of the skin' comprises specific dermatological entities which have fibrotic changes of the skin in common. These diseases mostly manifest in different clinical subtypes according to cutaneous and extracutaneous involvement and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from each other. The present guideline focuses on characteristic clinical and histopathological features, diagnostic scores and the serum autoantibodies most useful for differential diagnosis. In addition, current strategies in the first- and advanced-line therapy of sclerosing skin diseases are addressed in detail. Part 2 of this guideline provides clinicians with an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of scleromyxedema, scleredema (of Buschke) and nephrogenic systemic sclerosis (nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy).

Abstract
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major public health concern. Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a chronic autoimmune disease ranging from localized cutaneous disease (CLE) to systemic involvement (SLE). Patients with SLE have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but little is known about the CLE-related risk of VTE. Methods To evaluate the risk of VTE in patients with SLE and CLE as compared to the general population, a retrospective cohort study was conducted. Incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from multivariable Cox regression models were used to evaluate and compare the risk of VTE. Registries of hospitalizations, outpatient visits, and prescription drug use were studied to determine the risk of VTE in patients with CLE and SLE and the general population between 1997 and 2011. Results A total of 3234 patients with CLE and 3627 patients with SLE were identified and compared to 5,590,070 individuals in the reference population. The incidence rates per 1000 year of VTE were higher in patients with LE, i.e. 1.20, 3.06, and 5.24 for the reference population, CLE, and SLE, respectively. In adjusted models, both CLE (HR 1.39; 95% CI 1.10–1.78) and SLE (HR 3.32; 95% CI 2.73–4.03) were associated with a statistically significant increased risk of VTE, compared to the reference population. Conclusion In this nationwide study, both CLE and SLE were significant risk factors for VTE. The results add to our understanding of comorbidities in patients with LE, and call for further studies and increased awareness of thromboembolic complications in patients with CLE.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a well-known cardiovascular risk factor. Less is known about cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, we investigated the risk of mortality and adverse cardiovascular events in patients diagnosed with SLE and CLE. We conducted a cohort study of the entire Danish population aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 100 years, followed from 1997 to 2011 by individual-level linkage of nationwide registries. Multivariable adjusted Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) for a composite cardiovascular endpoint and all-cause mortality, for patients with SLE and CLE. A total of 3282 patients with CLE and 3747 patients with SLE were identified and compared with 5,513,739 controls. The overall HR for the composite CVD endpoint was 1.31 (95% CI 1.16–1.49) for CLE and 2.05 (95% CI 1.15–3.44) for SLE. The corresponding HRs for all-cause mortality were 1.32 (95% CI 1.20–1.45) for CLE and 2.21 (95% CI 2.03–2.41) for SLE. CLE and SLE were associated with a significantly increased risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. Local and chronic inflammation may be the driver of low-grade systemic inflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current pharmacological therapies in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are challenged by lack of sustainability and borderline firm evidence of real long-term health benefits. Accordingly, lifestyle intervention remains the corner stone in the management of T2D. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the optimal intervention programmes in T2D ensuring both compliance as well as long-term health outcomes. Our objective is to assess the effects of an intensive lifestyle intervention (the U-TURN intervention) on glycaemic control in patients with T2D. Our hypothesis is that intensive lifestyle changes are equally effective as standard diabetes care, including pharmacological treatment in maintaining glycaemic control (ie, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)) in patients with T2D. Furthermore, we expect that intensive lifestyle changes will decrease the need for antidiabetic medications. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The study is an assessor-blinded, parallel group and a 1-year randomised trial. The primary outcome is change in glycaemic control (HbA1c), with the key secondary outcome being reductions in antidiabetic medication. Participants will be patients with T2D (T2D duration <10 years) without complications who are randomised into an intensive lifestyle intervention (U-TURN) or a standard care intervention in a 2:1 fashion. Both groups will be exposed to the same standardised, blinded, target-driven pharmacological treatment and can thus maintain, increase, reduce or discontinue the pharmacological treatment. The decision is based on the standardised algorithm. The U-TURN intervention consists of increased training and basal physical activity level, and an antidiabetic diet including an intended weight loss. The standard care group as well as the U-TURN group is offered individual diabetes management counselling on top of the pharmacological treatment. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has been approved by the Scientific Ethical Committee at the Capital Region of Denmark (H-1-2014-114). Positive, negative or inconclusive findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, at national and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02417012.

Abstract
To determine the prevalence of anogenital warts (AGWs) and concurrent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in men who have sex with men (MSM), and their knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV). Attitudes towards the HPV vaccine among MSM are explored. A web-based cross-sectional survey on AGWs, sociodemographic factors and sexual behaviour conducted in August 2009 in Denmark. Overall 25.2% of the 1184 respondents reported a prior or current episode of AGWs. The prevalence of AGW was significantly higher in homosexuals compared with bisexuals, in men with high levels of education and in those with a high number of sexual partners within the last year. MSM with a history of another STI reported a significantly higher prevalence of warts. More than 70% did not know what causes AGWs. If a free HPV vaccine were to be offered, 94.4% would like to receive it. These data suggest a high prevalence of AGWs in Danish MSM. The awareness of HPV is low; however, the acceptance of a HPV vaccine seems high.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antiretroviral therapy (ART) in HIV-infected patients is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Circulating markers of endothelial dysfunction may be used to study early atherogenesis. The aim of our study was to investigate changes in such markers during initiation of ART. METHODS In 115 HIV-positive treatment-naïve patients, plasma lipids, E-selectin, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1), tissue-type plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (tPAI-1) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured before and after 2 and 14 months of ART. A control group of 30 healthy subjects was included. Values are mean+/-standard error of the mean. RESULTS Prior to treatment, HIV-infected patients had elevated levels of sICAM-1 (296+/-24 vs. 144+/-12 ng/mL), tPAI-1 (18 473+/-1399 vs. 5490+/-576 pg/mL) and hsCRP (28 060+/-5530 vs. 6665+/-2063 ng/mL) compared with controls (P<0.001). In contrast, sVCAM-1 and E-selectin did not differ between the groups. Initiation of ART resulted in significantly lower levels of E-selectin (15.1+/-0.8; P<0.01), sICAM-1 (248+/-12 ng/mL; P<0.05), sVCAM-1 (766+/-33 ng/mL; P<0.001) and hsCRP (14 708+/-2358 ng/mL; P<0.001) after 2 months, which remained reduced at 14 months. tPAI-1 was not influenced by initiation of ART. CONCLUSIONS Markers of endothelial dysfunction were elevated in treatment-naïve HIV-infected patients and were related to HIV RNA viral load. Initiation of ART reduced the levels of the majority of these markers. The positive effect of ART initiation was dependent on the duration of HIV infection prior to treatment.

Abstract
Better outcomes in patients suspected of community-acquired infections requires the optimal and timely assessment of disease severity at the point of first contact with the health care system, which is typically in the emergency department. This study was conducted using a previously described, prospectively collected cohort of patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that were admitted to an emergency department and a department of infectious diseases at a university hospital. Plasma samples were collected and disease severity scores calculated upon admission. A multiplex immunoassay and a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based assay were used to measure the soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, and macrophage migration inhibitory factor. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the prediction of 30- and 180-day mortality was used to compare the performance of the markers and the models. A total of 151 patients were eligible for analysis. Of these, nine died before day 30 and 19 died before day 180 post-admission. Admission-soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor levels were significantly higher in both day 30 and day 180 non-survivors. There was a non-significant trend towards higher macrophage migration inhibitory factor concentrations in day 30 non-survivors. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 levels were significantly lower in non-survivors at both time points. The simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores were significantly higher in non-survivors at both time points, indicating that these models intended for use in intensive care units might also be useful in an emergency department setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transplant coronary vasculopathy is one of the major causes of graft failure and death in cardiac transplant recipients. A non-invasive test of coronary function to predict the course of this disease would be desirable. METHODS To determine whether the degree of abnormalities in endothelial dependent coronary vasomotion (cold pressor testing) or endothelial independent vasodilatory capacity (intravenous dipyridamole) as determined by positron emission tomography (PET) one to two years after heart transplantation is correlated with the course of transplant vasculopathy. Nineteen patients had baseline PET and intravascular ultrasound studies (IVUS) at 18 +/- 6 months after cardiac transplantation and a follow up IVUS study 15 +/- 5 months later. RESULTS Myocardial blood flow was higher in patients than in healthy controls (p < 0.002) but increased during cold pressor testing only in controls (p < 0.005). Myocardial blood flow normalized to the rate pressure product declined in patients (p < 0.001). Dipyridamole-induced hyperemic blood flow and the flow reserve normalized to the resting rate pressure product were lower in patients than in controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01). The normalized flow reserve was correlated with changes in total vessel area (r = 0.55; p = 0.02) and lumen diameter (r = 0.52; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that the degree of abnormalities in endothelial independent myocardial flow as detected by PET one to two years after transplantation is associated with morphological indices of disease progression by IVUS.

Abstract
The Gottfries-Bråne-Steen scale (GBS) is assessed for use in evaluating functional deficiencies in demented persons. The scale is translated into different languages, and reliability studies have been published from Sweden and Norway. This investigation is a reliability study of the Danish version. Fourty-nine patients were rated by several independent raters from the staff at the same time. Preceding this, all raters had been video-trained in the use of the scale. The results show that the scale has sufficient and satisfactory inter-rater reliability. It is concluded that the Danish version of the GBS-scale is also a useful tool for evaluating dementia processes and therapeutic measures.

Abstract
Sixteen gerontopsychiatric inpatients were compared with 33 residents in a somatic nursing home by Gottfries-Bråne-Steen scale. Both groups showed symptoms of mental deterioration of intellectual and also emotional character. The gerontopsychiatric inpatients showed significantly more emotional deterioration than the others. It was concluded, that especially the emotional defect in combination with intellectual deterioration is the cause of the placement in a psychiatric ward.

Abstract
Thirty-three inhabitants in a nursing home were evaluated by the Gottfries-Bråne-Steen scale. The evaluation showed that more than one third of the residents had marked dementia, especially with intellectual symptoms. The residents showed a high degree of motoric problems. It is concluded that dementia is a common cause for placement in a nursing home, although it seldom is recorded in detail as such before admission.
