Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is commonly seen in postmenopausal women. Along with the clinical characterisation of the disease, studies of molecular genetics have contributed to increased understanding of the etiology of pHPT. Genetic association studies have revealed that certain vitamin D receptor polymorphisms relate to the development of sporadic pHPT. A new type of familial pHPT was rec

Avsnitt 4: I det här avsnittet diskuterar panelen vikten av utbytesstudier för både studenter och forskare, kulturkrockar i internationella samarbeten, och vad EU:s planer på ett gemensamt utbildningsområde innebär i praktiken.

Children’s right to involvement in practices that address their well-being is frequently highlighted, yet how children exercise involvement in face-to-face encounters has remained fairly unknown. To fulfil our aim of identifying, describing and defining children’s involvement, we conducted an inductive microanalysis of face-to-face dialogue on audiovisual recordings of naturally occurring therapy Children’s right to involvement in practices that address their well-being is frequently highlighted, yet how children exercise involvement in face-to-face encounters has remained fairly unknown.

Digital images are an intuitive way to capture, store and analyse organismal phenotypes. Many biologists are taking images to collect high-dimensional phenotypic information from specimens to investigate complex ecological, evolutionary and developmental phenomena, such as relationships between trait diversity and ecosystem function, multivariate natural selection or developmental plasticity. As a

BACKGROUND: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. Incidence is largely unknown because of incomplete, or lack of, registration in most countries.OBJECTIVES: To assess current incidence rates and recent trends for BCC in the Swedish population.METHODS: Patient- and tumour-related features of all histologically confirmed BCC tumours diagnosed in Sweden from 2004 to 2017 were ext

The cultivation of ethnographic discovery is not only about being insightful in the field by paying attention to unexpected events and unforeseen social processes. We should also search for potentially surprising or disturbing findings after the fieldwork. This can provide additional ways to create an original and sustainable understanding of research material. In this chapter, we discuss a study

The paper bridges sustainability and market-shaping literature to conceptualize and empirically explore the role of social innovation in the implementation of a proactive corporate sustainability by a MNE in the emerging market. An in-depth qualitative study of H&M’s fair living wages program in Bangladesh reveals a number of grand challenges and proactive activities on two levels: factory and

Contemplative traditions have posited that exceptional abilities can occur in conjunction with meditation. These claims have been often dismissed as mere fantasies, but some have been evaluated experimentally. This chapter reviews historical accounts from Asian and Western traditions about such abilities and summarizes the research on the relation of meditation with exceptional psychophysiological

Syncope is an alarming event carrying the possibility of serious outcomes, including sudden cardiac death (SCD). Therefore, immediate risk stratification should be applied whenever syncope occurs, especially in the Emergency Department, where most dramatic presentations occur. It has long been known that short- and long-term syncope prognosis is affected not only by its mechanism but also by prese
