Several international quantitative studies show that participation in cognitive behavioural programmes reduces the risk of recidivism. But how do participants experience such programmes? The current article is based on two qualitative studies conducted in three Danish prisons. These studies seek to shed light on how participants understand and experience the changes that the cognitive behavioural programme facilitates. Interviews with participants during and after the programme reveal that they start to consider their lives from a new perspective. They feel that they have received cognitive tools that enable them to identify and solve problems without violating the law. In a broader perspective these tools can therefore have a crime-reducing effect. The article also points to barriers in using the cognitive tools from the programme. After finishing the programme, participants seem to be influenced yet again by the more aggressive sociality in the prison. Furthermore, some participants seem to discontinue their use of the cognitive tools once the formal programme is over. This is probably due to the fact that they no longer receive encouraging feed back from an instructor and the responsibility to employ the tools becomes their own. These barriers suggest that the context of learning and using the tools of the cognitive behavioural programme is of great importance, and is fundamental for a long-term experienced effect.

Coca-Cola is one of the world's best-known brands and a symbol of American influence worldwide - sarcastically reflected in the term "Coca-Colonization." After 1945 Coca-Cola became virtually synonymous with the United States, and for that very reason countless consumers were attracted to the product. On the other hand, the brand was feared by numerous interest groups, by some because of that same symbolic stature but by others for narrower economic reasons. It was in this context that Coca-Cola after 1945 became a bone of contention in a number of European countries, including France, Italy, Switzerland, and Sweden. Coca-Cola made its debut in Denmark in 1935. It ran into substantial resistance from the well-established brewery interests, and it succeeded in capturing only a small share of the beverage market. During World War II production had to be completely abandoned. After the war there was something like a Coca-Cola war, with politicians, authorities, and established Danish producers on the one side, and Coca-Cola and its Danish partners on the other. One legal case was taken by Coca-Cola all the way to the supreme court, special taxes were levied on cola drinks (that is, containing extract of the kola nut), and Danish manufacturers launched a national cola beverage known as Jolly Cola to compete with the original American product.

Time from symptom onset to final treatment is crucial for survival. We present a case where prehospital diagnosis by the emergency physician in the ambulance was followed by a telemedicine conference and data transfer to the hospital. This was combined with bypassing of the emergency room and direct transfer to the thoracic surgical theatre, and time to treatment was reduced considerably. Obtaining a prehospital diagnosis in time-dependent life-threatening disease as basement for supportive treatment and transfer directly to treatment is very important.

Uncontrollable hemorrhage from esophageal varicose veins in portal hypertension and cirrhosis of the liver may be treated with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube. A case of ventricular fibrillation caused by a misplaced Sengstaken-Blakemore tube is described. Patients with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube in place should be checked by a trained nurse for early signs of misplacement of the tube.
