More focus on patient courses and e.g. analgesic treatment and rehabilitation after surgery might increase the quality of treatment. This was the result of research into accelerated patient courses in 2008. Such research will be given higher priority in the future. Accelerated patient courses are a treatment concept that involves reducing the time of rehabilitation after surgery, thereby reducing the time of hospitalisation so that the patient can return to a normal life more quickly. This field is subject to increasingly more focus, and in 2008 research results showed great benefits from this approach to treatment. Read more...
In 2008 the finishing touches were made to a new research biobank at Rigshospitalet - the biobank is now in operation. The plan is to offer better treatment and establish safer diagnoses in future.In future, excess blood from the many blood tests taken every day at Rigshospitalet will be stored in a new research biobank. The finishing touches to the biobank were made in 2008 to intensify research into DNA and with this better patient management. By storing excess blood from blood tests, researchers at Rigshospitalet will be able to examine genetic variations in large groups of patients, and researchers will be able to tell the significance this may have on patients’ diseases or treatment. This will form the basis for better tailored treatment of patients in future. Read more...
Researchers at Rigshospitalet and the University of Copenhagen have discovered how parasite sticks to blood vessels in severe cases of malaria. The discovery could lead to new means to combat malaria.
A new International House Copenhagen aims to strengthen the attraction, reception, and retention of international citizens. Making it a great experience to work, study and live in Copenhagen while creating development and growth in Denmark.
Medical experts from Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet have in collaboration with international colleagues developed European guidelines on how to handle abnormal uterine bleeding during and after menopause aiming inter alia to reduce the number of unnecessary uterine Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) procedures.
