Better understanding the processes associated with better and worse response to a range of environmental causes and to preventive interventions is a critical first step in refining and adapting existing prevention pro...

Editorial Report of fifteen years contributions to radiological sciences: Future directions and prospects

At the close of the 20th century, fundamental discoveries changed broadly the worlds of physics, biology and medicine. The rapid advancements achieved during recent years, mainly due to revolutionary methodological improvements, have led to an unparalleled explosion of information; often appear to overshadow the earlier works.

Using intervention trials in developmental psychiatry to illuminate basic science.

We discuss the nature of intervention in developmental psychiatry and the implication of this for clinical trials. New ideas in the design of randomised trials for complex interventions, along with recent statistical advances in causal analysis, give such trials additional potential as a means by which to study the basic science of complex developmental disorders. The challenge for designers of...
