About 10 per cent of all new born babies in Sweden have infant colic. This may affect the the whole family and the early connection between the baby and the parents. Although, there are no effective and safe treatment. Acupuncture is an environmental friendly method that affects pain, anxiety, sleep and the function of gastrointestinal system. Several studies have shown various results, and there are a need for high-qualitative randomised controlled trials to investigate the proposed effect further. 128 children will be randomised into two groups; acupuncture at LI4 or no acupuncture, parents will be blinded. Statistical calculations will be performed on the content of the diaries (bowel movement frequency, crying time, feeding). Registration of crying/crying in connection with acupuncture treatment, i.e. when the needle touches the skin or later until the needle is removed and 30 seconds after.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if sustained cord circulation during resuscitation improves outcomes for term neonates born by emergency Cesarean section. The main question it aims to answer is: Does sustained cord circulation reduce admission rates to neonatal care?
Researchers will compare resuscitation with sustained cord circulation to standard resuscitation practices to see if it provides better outcomes.
Participants (term neonates born by emergency Cesarean section) will:
Receive resuscitation with either sustained cord circulation or standard care Be monitored for admission to neonatal care and other predefined health outcomes

The overall aim of this national, multicenter, prospective, randomized, and controlled study is to enhance the management of patients with thin melanoma (≤1 mm Breslow thickness). The investigators hypothesize that wide local excisions (WLEs) following complete excision of thin melanoma do not affect the risk of recurrence, defined as the occurrence of local, regional, distant disease, or melanoma-specific death during a 5- to 10-year follow-up period.
