Research meetings at Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus

Content
The Steno Thursdays events aim to disseminate exciting diabetes research from clinical- and biomedicine to epidemiology. Most presentations are given by researchers affiliated to or collaborating with SDCA. We host Steno Thursdays Global once a month, featuring international diabetes experts.
There will be room for questions and discussions following every talk.

How often

PROGRAMME: June

June 6th, 2024

Forensic Psychiatric Patients – Why don’t we know more?

Summary: Join me as we enter the enigmatic world of forensic psychiatry,

uncovering why our knowledge about these patients is limited and how

projects like RetPsykSom and FORECAST2030 are paving the way for research and better patient care. The talk describes my PhD-project and will not be difficult to understand, I promise!

Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Targeting Symptoms of

Diabetic Gastroenteropathy

Summary: Symptoms of gastroparesis can be treated with a surgically placed

gastric pacemaker. In a large randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled,

multicenter study, we investigated whether a noninvasive alternative could achieve similar symptomatic relief.
