case study on graves disease

Published

I am working on my case study and am being required to use nurse peer reviewed articles. I tried proquest and the info I get are 5 years older which will not work with APA format. I tried lww.com but most of the articles only defines what my case study is about. Im trying to look for methods, the scope of study (population) not just one person. Perhaps I am not using the right search parameter or keyword. Please help. Thanks

Hello, I just went to google search and typed in "CASE STUDY GRAVES DISEASE" and a whole bunch of info came up, I am not sure if that helps or not. Good Luck!

I also have graves disease, so feel free to ask questions if you need any info on S&S. I also have pernicious aneamia (B12, and Hb) which started once my thyroid started acting up.

There is an article from: Geriatrics and Gerontology International. Oxford: Dec 2006. Vol. 6, Iss. 4; p. 270

"CASE REPORT; Elderly patient presenting with severe thyrotoxic hypercalcemia"

Have you also tried the Cochrane library?

Sorry for the thread hijack, but what do you mean that five-year-old references do not work under APA formating? I recently cited something from 1937 in a recent paper of mine.
