Refractory Hypoglycaemia Caused by a Pleuropulmonary Solitary Fibrous Tumour: A Case of Doege-Potter Syndrome.

Hypoglycaemia has a very broad differential diagnosis. It is important to perform a thorough examination of the possible causes. Doege-Potter syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that is associated with refractory hypoglycaemia and is caused by solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs).

Understanding the Dynamics of the Developing Adolescent Brain Through Team Science.

One of the major goals for research on adolescent development is to identify the optimal conditions for adolescents to grow up in a complex social world and to understand individual differences in these trajectories. Based on influential theoretical and empirical work in this field, achieving this goal requires a detailed understanding of the social context in which neural and behavioral development takes place, along with longitudinal measurements at multiple levels (e.g.

Integrating Cognitive Developmental Neuroscience in Society: Lessons Learned From a Multidisciplinary Research Project on Education and Social Safety of Youth.

Integrating fundamental science in society, with the goal to translate research findings to daily practice, comes with certain challenges. Successfully integrating research projects into society requires (1) good collaboration between scientists and societal stakeholders, (2) collaboration partners with common expectations and goals, and (3) investment in clear communication. Here we describe an integrative research project conducted by a large Dutch consortium that consisted of neuroscientists, psychologists, sociologists, ethicists, teachers, health care professionals and policy makers, focusing on applying cognitive developmental neuroscience for the benefit of youth in education and social safety.
