Background: Glomus tumour is a rare benign hypervascular lesion mainly found in the subungual region of the fingers.
Case Presentation: A young, right-handed female experienced episodic and increasing pain in her left thumb. The pain was triggered by cold weather and light pressure.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between asbestos exposure and pleural mesothelioma in Norwegian male offshore petroleum workers, finding 43 cases among 25,347 participants.
- Using expert job-exposure matrices, the research indicates that increased asbestos exposure correlates with a higher risk of developing the cancer, particularly for those with prior exposure before offshore work.
- No significant association was found between refractory ceramic fibres (RCFs) and pleural mesothelioma, reinforcing the focus on asbestos as a key risk factor.
Background: Lesion occurring in the brainstem may cause a postural tilt and balance disorders, which could be due to an inaccurate perception of the body orientation. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of a brainstem stroke on body representation in horizontal and frontal plane, and links with impaired posture and neuroanatomy.
Methods: Forty patients with stroke in left brainstem (L-BS) or right (R-BS) were compared with 15 matched control subjects (C).
Background And Objectives: Proper symptom management, informal caregiver support, and service innovation are required to reduce dementia care burden. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the multicomponent LIVE (Learning, Innovation, Volunteering, Empowerment) intervention on caregiver experience of the self-perceived care situation, coordinator performance, and informal care time.
Research Design And Methods: We conducted a 24-month multicomponent, stepped-wedge randomized control trial including dyads of people ≥65 years with mild-to-moderate dementia with minimum weekly contact with their informal caregivers in Norway.

There is renewed interest in the structure of the essential amino acid phenylalanine in the solid state. Three new polymorphs were found in the years 2012 to 2014. Here, we investigate the structure, stability, and energetical ordering of these phases using first-principles simulations at the level of density functional theory incorporating van der Waals interactions.
