“…Instead of limiting assistance to explaining to students why they may have achieved a particular grade, the process approach is wider-reaching and allows students to discuss current and future work in a reflective way, learning from their feedback to develop future communication of arguments. 64 This approach allows for what Arnold refers to as a "personal model" of writing, an approach which encourages students to engage with the thinking process behind their writing. 65 This "epistemic view" reinforces to students how writing is a mode of thinking.…”

This article explores the value of providing discipline-specific writing support to law undergraduates through writing programmes within law schools. By engaging with an "academic literacies" approach to writing skills, this article illustrates a broad understanding of writing as a learning process, thereby exploring why investment in writing support can have such wide-reaching value for students in both improving their academic abilities and improving student employability. By using the case study of Legal Academic Writing Skills (LAWS), situated in Lancaster Law School, this article provides an example of an "in-house" writing programme.

“…True storm occurs only in Graves' disease [ 10]. The unique clinical picture seen in Graves' disease was recognized by early authors [11,12] who worked in large "thyroid clinics" where the problem was more often observed. In fact, very few cases called "toxic nodular goiter" appeared in the early series [2,6,[13][14][15].…”

“…When a rare case of toxic nodular goiter was included in a series of storm, the best retrospective evidence suggests that the pathologic process was actually Graves' disease in a patient who incidentally had relatively nonfunctioning adenomas, a distinction that could not always be made precisely without the availability of radioiodine. As pointed out first by Plummer [ 11,12], Graves' disease and toxic nodular goiter are clinically different diseases. The marked restlessness and generalized labile physiological state of Graves' disease is not seen to a significant degree in toxic adenomatous goiter, unless a small dose of epinephrine is given.…”

“…Use of iodine in the preparation of patients with Graves' disease for surgery revolutionized thyroid surgery. Its dramatic effect in modifying Graves' disease was demonstrated by Plummer [11,12]. AI-though it usually did not produce a fully euthyroid state, the improvement was sufficient to permit thyroidectomy with relatively low risk.…”

Thyroid storm or crisis has become a rare clinical problem but remains a serious emergency when it occurs. The reduction in occurrence rate and deaths is not only attributable to improvements in modern management of severe hyperthyroidism, but also to the inclusion of cases in some series which, by previous standards, would not have been classified as storm in the past. Information from modern research on thyroid pathophysiology is reviewed as a basis for current steps in management of storm. Safeguards in preparation of patients with hyperthyroidism for surgery and recognition of both the potential for storm and the steps required to combat it are reviewed and emphasized.

“…T HE CONCEPTION that treatment of Graves' disease (i) is primarily surgical, is widespread despite the fact that American as well as European literature contains numerous reports of satisfactory results with non'surgical treatment in selected cases. It is undoubtedly true that since Plummer and Boothby (2,3,4) inaugurated routine preoperative iodine preparation, the prognosis of surgical pro' cedures in Graves' disease has been markedly improved. It is also true that a high percentage of cures is obtained by subtotal thyroidectomy, but the results are by no means universal.…”
