Ninety-six manic-depressive patients were studied during long-term lithium treatment. Highly significant elevations observed respecting the levels of serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (P less than 0.001) as well protein-corrected calcium and magnesium 0.001), thus indicating a state 'primary' hyperparathyroidism. The group had normophosphataemia normophosphatasia supporting impression rather mild biochemical

The Recovery Record smartphone app is a self-monitoring tool for individuals recovering from an eating disorder. Unlike traditional pen-and-paper meal diaries, which are often used in disorder treatment, the holds novel features, such as reminders, affirmations, and patient-clinician in-app linkage, latter allowing clinicians to continuously monitor patients' data.

AimTo validate the Type 1 Diabetes Distress Scale (T1-DDS) in a large sample of adults with diabetes (T1D) from clinics Denmark.MethodsAltogether 40 T1D were interviewed to explore content T1-DDS Danish setting and translation into Danish. Subsequently, survey including T1-DDS, Problem Areas In scale (PAID-20), fear hypoglycemia, social support, duration was answered by 2201 people T1D. Other person characteristics collected National Patient Register. HbA1c obtained Clinical Laboratory...

Up to 25% of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) may binge eat which is almost 10 times as many in the general population. Binge eating associated depression, anxiety, and social isolation. Moreover, increase risk obesity high blood glucose levels, both can accelerate onset complications death T2D. Still, little known about experiences, needs, preferences T2D that inform develop current future treatment efforts. The aim study was therefore gain in-depth insights into experiences...

Abstract Objective The Recovery Record smartphone app is a self‐monitoring tool for individuals recovering from eating disorders. Oppositely to traditional pen‐and‐paper meal diaries, the allows in‐app patient–clinician linkage enabling clinicians access patient data anytime. aim of our study was explore interdisciplinary clinical perspective on and its impact treatment. Method Thirty‐one Danish disorder treatment facility participated in field studies 23 these interviews. Data were...

Patients receiving lumbar spinal fusion surgery often have persisting postoperative pain negatively affecting their daily life. These patients may be helped by interdisciplinary cognitive-behavioral therapy which is recognized as an effective intervention for improving beneficial coping behavior, thereby facilitating the rehabilitation process of with chronic pain.The purpose this study was to describe lived experience recovering from and explore potential similarities disparities in...

Abstract Objective The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 suggests the 5th age‐adjusted body mass index (BMI) percentile as numeric cut‐off for anorexia nervosa (AN) in children adolescents. We aimed to investigate degree which AN youths reflects clinical population patients accepted treatment. Method From a specialized eating disorder clinic, 305 with below 18 years age were grouped according BMI percentiles [below (low), above 10th (high), between (medium)]....

OBJECTIVE Valid and reliable diabetes distress assessment is essential for identifying adults with elevated levels of concern to guide targeted support. However, assessing must also be feasible in time-limited settings. We aimed identify a short-form measure the 28-item Type 1 Diabetes Distress Scale (T1-DDS-28) representing seven sources type that would convenient use clinical practice. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Based on evaluation influence importance by 14 experts care research, we...

Binge eating has adverse health effects and may be 10 times more common in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) than the general population. Still, binge is not consistently addressed treatment. People T2D may, therefore, seek guidance on topic social media. The study objective was to explore discussions about among members of a T2D-specific Facebook group.

Abstract. In order to elucidate the pathogenesis and degree of osteopoenia in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) we conducted a cross‐sectional study 47 non‐selected female patients with biopsy‐proven PBC. Bone mineral content (BMC) lumbar spine, femoral neck shaft was determined using dual photon absorptiometry. Compared healthy females corresponding decades PBC exhibited significantly decreased mean BMC‐values spine (88%, P < 0.05) (92%, but not (96%, NS). associated duration liver...

Immunoreactive parathyroid hormone and calcitonin in serum were measured 34 normocalcemic patients with mammary carcinoma. The mean value of was significantly higher 26 bone metastases than 8 without (p less 0.025). One patient had slightly raised serum. No difference as to values between the groups previously irradiated non-irradiated found. A possible explanation hyperparathyroidism is presented.

Abstract Objective To explore patients’ use of the self‐monitoring app Recovery Record during 26 weeks naturalistic eating disorder treatment. Methods Selected patient characteristics at baseline were explored as predictors using linear regression. Patients grouped according to diagnosis (anorexia versus bulimia), and mixed‐effects analyses used differences in between diagnoses across four time periods (weeks 1–4; 5–8; 9–12; 13–26). Results Eighty‐four patients included which 41 had anorexia...

In this study, we explored specific mechanisms of a board game developed to facilitate peer support among people with Type 2 diabetes attending group-based education. The was tested 76 who participated in focus groups after the game. Data from observations audio-recorded games and were analyzed using Interpretive Description. Six facilitating identified: (a) entering safe space normality created by emotional in-game mirroring; (b) mutual acknowledgment out-of-game efforts; (c) forming...

Design Realist evaluation using quantitative qualitative methods context, mechanisms intervention. Methods In March–July 2019, was tested among 76 type 2 17 professionals 19 settings across nine Danish municipalities. Data consisted tests, interviews questionnaires. were analysed systematic text condensation...
