Biography Historical Article[La donna é mobile--the hysteria diagnosis in Norway in the 19th century].
The last half of the 19 th century has been described as "the golden age of hysteria". Hysteria was a frequently used diagnosis in this period and received increasing attention from a number of prominent medical researchers, such as Jean-Martin Charcot and Sigmund Freud in Europe and for example Edvard Bull, Paul Winge and Ragnar Vogt in Norway. ⋯ The symptoms are described as comprehensive, and several different etiological models can be traced. Even though hysteria is not exclusively associated with the female body and psyche, it is constructed at the interface of scientific opinion and notions of femininity.

Radical resection is the main treatment for adenocarcinoma of the colon. Adjuvant chemotherapy may reduce the recurrence rate of the disease. It is therefore important that those who may benefit from such therapy are offered the optimal regimens in due time. The background for adjuvant chemotherapy of colon cancer is presented. ⋯ Cure rates after curative resections of colon cancer (stage III) are improved by about 12% if patients are treated with adjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin combined with 5-fluoruracil and folinat (or capecitabine) for 6 months. Certain subgroups of stage II (Dukes' stage B) are also likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.
