The aim of this study was to examine intelligence in DSM-IV combined type attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is predicted by either dopamine receptor/transporter genes or other previously identified risk alleles
Abstract:
A major goal of genetic studies of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is to identify individual characteristics that might help segregate the disorder's inherent heterogeneity. [Mill et al. (2006); Arch Ger Psychiatry 63:462-469] recently reported a potentially important association between two dopamine-related risk polymorphisms (DRD4 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) more...

The aim of the study was to compare Quality of life among individuals with Cerebal Palsy
Abstract:
Background: Little is known about the quality of life (QoL) of disabled children. We describe self-reported QoL of children with cerebral palsy, factors that influence it, and how it compares with QoL of the general population. Methods: 1174 children aged 8-12 years were randomly selected from eight population-based registers of children with cerebral palsy in six European countries and more...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the comparative sero-epidemiology of varicella zoster virus in 11 countries in the European region
Abstract:
The European sero-epidemiology network (ESEN2) aims to standardise serological surveillance of varicella zoster virus (VZV) in 11 participant countries. In each country, serum banks were collected between 1996 and 2003 and tested for VZV antibodies. Assay results were standardised so that international comparisons could be made. Age-specific forces of infection were calculated for three more...
