Work-leave rotation among general practitioners in Norwegian municipalities.

Background: A number of municipalities have introduced work-leave rotation (aka 'North Sea shift') for general practitioners, whereby the doctors alternate between periods of work and leave over the year. We have investigated the reasons for this type of work schedule, its prevalence and scope, and experiences with this form of working.

Material And Method: We have undertaken a multiple-case study using data from Statistics Norway, the GP register, municipal documents, brief telephone interviews with doctors working a rotating schedule and in-depth interviews with healthcare leaders.

Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy or Everolimus in Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: The SeqEveRIV Study, a National Study from the French Group of Endocrine Tumors and Endocan-RENATEN Network.

Everolimus and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT, Lu-DOTATATE) are 2 treatments recommended in guidelines for gastroenteropancreatic metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. However, the best treatment sequence remains unknown. We designed a retrospective multicenter study that included patients from the national prospective database of the Groupe d'Étude des Tumeurs Endocrines who had been treated using everolimus and PRRT between April 2004 and October 2022.

Use of locums in the Regular GP Scheme 2016-22.

Background: Under the Regular GP Scheme, locum GPs must be used when GPs are absent or when a patient list has no GP. We have studied the prevalence and development of locum contracts registered in the Regular GP Scheme in the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2022.

Material And Methods: In this descriptive registry study, we categorised 21 418 locum contracts from the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2022 according to municipality and duration.

Stereological comparison of smooth muscle, collagen, and elastic fibers of the clitoris and glans penis in young adults.

Objective: To compare the collagen, elastic fibers, and smooth muscle content of the clitoris and the glans penis in young adults.

Materials And Methods: The clitoris and the glans penis of six women and six men (mean age 25±3) who died as a result of accidents were excised. The samples were placed under a formaldehyde solution and histologically processed.
