The first part of our discussion takes as its point of departure the second half ... -
Arterial cardiovascular diseases and risk of venous thromboembolism

Evidence for Cognitive Placebo and Nocebo Effects in Healthy Individuals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-28)Inactive interventions can have significant effects on cognitive performance.
