Increased risk for developing gambling disorder under the treatment with pramipexole, ropinirole, and aripiprazole : A nationwide register study in Sweden

Diabetic hand : prevalence and incidence of diabetic hand problems using data from 1.1 million inhabitants in southern Sweden

INTRODUCTION: 'The diabetic hand' has traditionally referred to hand complications due to diabetes mellitus (DM), including trigger finger (TF) and Dupuytren's disease (DD). Recent publications have also proposed DM as a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE), and possibly osteoarthritis (OA) of the first carpometacarpal (CMC-1) joint. This study aimed to explor
