Value in the ‘valley of the shadow of death’—When the user is no longer the value arbiter

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Public Service Logic (PSL) user‐centric perspective on value creation has been one of its main critiques. Scholars argue that for some real‐world applications, such as emergency services, where users cannot engage with service offerings, the PSL must consider the roles of other service actors beyond just facilitators.

What Happens After Menopause (WHAM)? A Progress Report of a Prospective Controlled Study of Women After Pre‐Menopausal Risk‐Reducing Bilateral Salpingo‐Oophorectomy

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical menopause, the removal of both ovaries prior to natural menopause, may impact short‐and long‐term physical and emotional health. An increasingly common cause of surgical menopause is risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) in those at high inherited risk of ovarian cancer.

Risk of Cancer With Hormone Replacement Therapy: A Narrative Review

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains the cornerstone of menopausal symptom management, effectively alleviating vasomotor symptoms and genitourinary syndrome, whilst mitigating long‐term risks such as osteoporosis. However, despite an increasing body of evidence on the relative safety of HRT, earlier studies that demonstrated an increased ...

ANATOMICAL TREATMENT OF FRACTURES OF THE FEMORAL NECK. [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1901
Six per cent, of all fractures being through the neck of the femur, giving as a result nonunion in the majority of cases with useless limbs, renders the subject of enough importance to justify its consideration in the light of all the latest attainable information. There is nothing to be gained by attempts to differentiate between intra-extra-capsular
