Item An introduction to key event mapping: A primer for nurse researchers(Elsevier, 2015-05) Carter-Harris, Lisa; Indiana University School of NursingTo fully understand the events leading to a diagnosis, retrospective recall can help nurse researchers reconstruct important health behavior-related events. However, retrospective recall can be a challenge. Key event mapping offers nurse researchers a method beyond retrospective chart review to elicit date data to explore the pre-diagnosis time frame of an illness. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the key event mapping method to nurse researchers in search of a method of eliciting date data from participants when designing research studies that include a retrospective recall component.Item Tissue biopsy for the diagnosis of amyloidosis: experience from some centres(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Benson, Merrill D.; Berk, John L.; Dispenzieri, Angela; Damy, Thibaud; Gillmore, Julian D.; Hazenberg, Bouke P.; Lavatelli, Francesca; Picken, Maria M.; Röcken, Christoph; Schönland, Stefan; Ueda, Mitsuharu; Westermark, Per; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineA reliable diagnosis of amyloidosis is usually based on a tissue biopsy. With increasing options for specific treatments of the different amyloid diseases, an exact and valid diagnosis including determination of the biochemical fibril nature is imperative. Biopsy sites as well as amyloid typing principles vary and this paper describes methods employed at some laboratories specialised in amyloidosis in Europe, Japan and USA.
