Introduction: Our aim is to explore the ways in which a patient and a general practitioner (GP) negotiate knowledge-claims stemming from different epistemic domains while dealing with a mismatch between experiential and biomedical knowledge during a clinical consultation. We interpret their interaction in relation to the sociocultural context in which their negotiation is embedded, and identify ...

Background - This overview summarizes the best available systematic review (SR) evidence on the health effects of Tai Chi.<p> <p>Methods - Nine databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Medline, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP), Sino-Med, and Wanfang Database) were searched for SRs of controlled clinical trials of Tai Chi ...

At barnet ditt får en kreftdiagnose er en rystende beskjed som snur livet opp ned for mange familier. Behandlingen er krevende og mange barn og unge får plager de må leve med lenge. Foreldrene ønsker naturlig nok å gjøre det de kan for å lindre disse plagene. Mange velger derfor alternativ behandling som støttebehandling til konvensjonell behandling og for å bedre barnas livskvalitet.

<p><b> IMPORTANCE</b> Appropriate use of antibiotics is life-saving in neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS), but overuse of antibiotics is associated with antimicrobial resistance and long-term adverse outcomes. Large international studies quantifying early-life antibiotic exposure along with EOS incidence are needed to provide a basis for future interventions aimed at safely reducing neonatal ...

Background - Information on the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population is scarce. This study examined the incidence and risk factors of CKD stages 1–5 in Iceland, based on multiple markers of kidney damage.<p> <p>Methods - All serum creatinine (SCr) values, urine protein measurements and diagnosis codes for kidney diseases and comorbid conditions for people aged ≥18 ...

Objectives Fatal complications have occurred after vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, a vaccine against Covid-19. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) with severe outcome is characterized by venous thrombosis, predominantly in cerebral veins, thrombocytopenia and anti-PF4/polyanion antibodies. Prolonged headaches and cutaneous hemorrhages, frequently observed after the ChAdOx1 ...

Background: Preterm birth with very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight<1500 g) is associated with health problems later in life. How VLBW individuals perceive their physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is important to understand their putative burden of disease. Previous studies have shown mixed results, and longitudinal studies into adulthood have been requested. This study ...

Purpose: There is a trend worldwide to induce pregnant women earlier. However, few studies have focused on women’s experiences. The aim was to gain a deeper understanding of women’s lived experiences of induction of labour in late- and post-term pregnancy.<p> <p>Methods: Phenomenology with a reflective lifeworld approach was chosen as the method. Twelve women participating in a larger study in ...

Incoherent speech in schizophrenia has long been described as the mind making “leaps” of large distances between thoughts and ideas. Such a view seems intuitive, and for almost two decades, attempts to operationalize these conceptual “leaps” in spoken word meanings have used language-based embedding spaces. An embedding space represents meaning of words as numerical vectors where a greater proximity ...

Modern advances in computational language processing methods have enabled new approaches to the measurement of mental processes. However, the field has primarily focused on model accuracy in predicting performance on a task or a diagnostic category. Instead the field should be more focused on determining which computational analyses align best with the targeted neurocognitive/psychological functions ...
