Live music in the ICU
The aim of this hermeneutic-phenomenological study was to explore how 26 music students experienced their artistic practice in and adapted to the intensive care environment. The students participated in a standardized training and performance program, offering patient-tailored music interventions for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) at two hospitals in Denmark. Each intervention comprised three components: (1) briefing on the patients’ p…
DNA Methylation Signatures of Functional Somatic Syndromes
Canadian healthcare workers’ mental health and health behaviours during the Covid-19 pandemic
Results demonstrate that the impacts of COVID-19 on HCWs' mental health and health behaviours were significant, and varied by sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., sex, age, income)
Does childhood trauma impact daily psychobiological stress in somatic symptom disorder? An ambulatory assessment study
This study provides preliminary evidence for elevated daily stress and blunted sympathetic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in individuals with somatic symptom disorder and depressive disorders. Further studies will help to uncover the conditions under which these dysregulations develop into medically unexplained vs. depressive symptoms
Altered Experienced Thermoregulation in Depression—No Evidence for an Effect of Early Life Stress
Objectives: Accumulating evidence suggests that individuals with depression are characterised by difficulties in thermoregulatory cooling. The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time, whether depressed individuals are aware of these alterations, what their physical consequences are and whether they may be rooted in early life stress. Methods: A total of N = 672 medically healthy individuals from the general population were recrui…
Evidence-based narratives in European research programming
The article introduces and exemplifies the approach of evidence-based narratives (EBN). The methodology is a product of co-design between policy-making and science, generating robust intelligence for evidence-based policy-making in the Directorate General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission (DG RTD) under the condition of high uncertainty and fragmented evidence. The EBN transdisciplinary approach tackles practical problems of …

Functional somatic syndromes
Adding self-reported information on exclusionary medical conditions leads to a significant decrease in the prevalence and overlap of FSS. More rigorous approaches to studying FSS should be adopted
Entscheidungsmacht und Handlungskontrolle am Lebensende
Während das Thema Sterbehilfe in seinen unterschiedlichen Aspekten in den letzten Jahren medizinisch, ethisch und juristisch eingehend untersucht wurde, fehlten sozialwissenschaftliche Theorien, Konzepte und Untersuchungen zur Sterbehilfe bislang weitgehend. Auch sozialwissenschaftliche Studien zu Fragen der Patienteninformation wurden bisher kaum durchgeführt. Das vorliegende Buch schließt somit eine bedeutsame Lücke, indem es Entscheidungsmacht…

Using Drugs to End Life without an Explicit Request of the Patient
A small proportion of deaths result from the use of drugs with the intention to hasten death without an explicit request of the patient. Additional insight into its characteristics is needed for evaluating this practice. In the Netherlands in 2001, questionnaires were mailed to physicians that addressed the decision making that preceded their patient's death. Cases of ending life without an explicit request of the patient were compared with simil…
End-of-life decision-making in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland
OBJECTIVE: To examine differences in end-of-life decision-making in patients dying at home, in a hospital or in a care home. DESIGN: A death certificate study: certifying physicians from representative samples of death certificates, taken between June 2001 and February 2002, were sent questionnaires on the end-of-life decision-making preceding the patient's death. SETTING: Four European countries: Belgium (Flanders), Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerl…
