• 1.   Cross-National Comparisons of the Association between Alcohol Consumption and Deliberate Self-Harm in Adolescents

  The aim of this study was to investigate how differences in drinking patterns may affect the impact of alcohol consumption on deliberate self-harm among adolescents

  

  Abstract:

  How differences in drinking patterns may affect the impact of alcohol consumption on deliberate self-harm among adolescents is explored in this international comparative study. Schools in Australia, Belgium, England, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway (N= 30,532) were surveyed. In all countries the risk of deliberate self-harm was significantly elevated among adolescents who more...

• 2.   High-dose rapid and standard induction chemotherapy for patients aged over 1 year with stage 4 neuroblastoma: a randomised trial

  The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of high-dose rapid and standard induction chemotherapy for patients aged over 1 year with stage 4 neuroblastoma

  

  Abstract:

  Background: The current standard treatment for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma includes initial induction chemotherapy with a 21-day interval between induction treatments. We aimed to assess whether an intensive chemotherapy protocol that had a 10-day interval between treatments would improve event-free survival (EFS) in patients aged 1 year or over with high-risk neuroblastoma. more...

• 3.   Intelligence in DSM-IV combined type attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is not predicted by either dopamine receptor/transporter genes or other previously identified risk alleles for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

  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...

• 4.   The comparative sero-epidemiology of varicella zoster virus in 11 countries in the European region

  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...
