Struggling in no-man's land between childhood and adulthood - a phenomenological-hermeneutical video-observation study exploring adolescent males' encounters with general practitioners.

Objective: Many adolescent males report negative experiences of consultations with general practitioners (GPs), which contrasts with the importance of patient-centredness that GPs themselves emphasise. A better understanding of this discrepancy might facilitate improvements. The aim was to explore and describe adolescent males' encounters with GPs in Swedish primary healthcare centres using a lifeworld perspective.

Treatment effect of head extension by cervical collar on moderate obstructive sleep apnea-A randomized controlled trial.

As available treatments in obstructive sleep apnea are all associated with side-effects or adherence problems, there is a need for alternative treatment options. In this randomized, open, parallel-group intervention study, the effect of head extension by cervical collar was evaluated in patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. One-hundred patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnea (apneas and hypopneas per estimated hours asleep = respiratory events index: 15-30) were randomized to either lifestyle intervention, or cervical collar in combination with lifestyle intervention.

They are my worries, so it's me the doctor should listen to-adolescent males' experiences of consultations with general practitioners.

Background: Many adolescent males visit a general practitioner regularly, yet many report unmet health needs and negative experiences. This indicates a gap between provided healthcare and the needs of adolescent males. In order to improve adolescent males' possibilities to discuss their health concerns with general practitioners, the study's aim was to explore and describe how adolescent males understand and assign meaning to their experiences of consultations with general practitioners.

"Could a subset of joint mobility tests define generalized joint hypermobility?": A descriptive observational inception study.

Background: Generalized joint hypermobility is an inherited collagen phenotype based on clinical assessments of joint mobility. However, there is no international consensus to define generalized joint hypermobility, both considering which joint mobility tests should be included and limits for joint hypermobility.

Objectives: The primary aim of the study was to identify a subset of joint mobility tests to define generalized joint hypermobility.

Generalized joint hypermobility and the risk of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain: Is body mass index of importance?-A prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) affects approximately 50% of pregnant women. The mechanisms are multifactorial but not fully understood. Women with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) may be vulnerable to load in the pelvic joints during pregnancy.
