Today, a small but growing number of patients in Norway are prescribed cannabinoids for medical use. Despite the large focus on their potential as medicines, there is limited scientific knowledge about the positive effects, adverse effects, long-term effects and interaction potential of cannabinoids.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Do short-term duration drugs for anaesthesia give postoperative advantages compared to traditional drugs?].
We wanted to compare totally intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil to mixed anaesthesia with isoflurane and fentanyl in terms of postoperative pain, nausea, length of stay and costs. ⋯ The use of totally intravenous anaesthesia led to more nausea and more expenses than mixed anaesthesia in laparoscopic gynaecologic day-care surgery. No recommendations for either method can be made because of the non-randomized design.

Limited malignancy screening of patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism.
There is a known relationship between venous thromboembolism and cancer, but there is no consensus as to how extensive screening for occult cancer should be in cases of venous thromboembolism with no apparent risk factor (idiopathic venous thromboembolism). The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which limited screening of patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism reveals occult cancer. ⋯ Malignancy was detected in almost 10% of the patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism in the course of the first year. Limited screening for occult malignancy identified the great majority of cases.
