Parenting styles that include abuse can harm the development of the child's brain with a long or short-term impact on his/her health and behaviour. The scope and diversity of abuse are important determinants, and neglect is one of its most serious manifestations. The aim of the study is to examine the prevalence and diversity of emotional abuse and neglect reported by adult Icelanders in their childhood, and how such experience had influenced their evaluation of their upbringing. ⋯ More than 2/3 of adult Icelanders report experience of one or more out of 8 different forms of emotional abuse and 1/10 report neglect. Parenting styles can be changed, e.g. with education, social support, and legislation.

Case Reports
[Recurrent tumor growth in the right maxilla--a rare case of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor].
28 year old male with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the right maxilla undergoes multiple surgeries for the removal of recurrent tumors over a period of 4 years and is without symptoms of recurrences today. Cells cultured from the tumor show stem cell properties that could contribute to the recurrent tumor growth. It is important to do a close follow up on patients with these traits and further recurrences cannot be excluded even though surgical edges are free of tumor growth.

Comparative Study
[National nutrition surveys and dietary changes in Iceland. Economic differences in healthy eating].
Here we compare results on food and nutrient intake from the two most recent Icelandic national nutrition surveys from 2010/11 and 2002 and compare intake of energy giving nutrients from 1990. Finally we assess associations beween a healthy diet and difficulties people have in making ends meet. ⋯ Dietary changes in Iceland from 2002 have mostly been toward recommended intake. Between 1990 and 2002 fat consumption decreased considerably, while less significant changes occurred from 2002 til 2010/11. Economic status is associated with healthy diet in Iceland.

Diabetes is one of the most important risk factors for coronary artery disease. Diabetics often have severe three vessel disease and coronary bypass surgery is in most cases the preferred treatment of choice in these patients. We investigated early surgical complications and outcomes in diabetic patients following isolated CABG in Iceland and compared them to those of non-diabetic patients. ⋯ Diabetic patients that underwent CABG more often suffered acute renal injury but diabetes was not an independent prognostic factor of operative mortality.
