Efficacy and safety of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) for children and adolescents with anxiety disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) in comparison with various control contingencies (e.g. pill placebo and cognitive behavioral treatment) for pediatric anxiety disorders.

Kinematic gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy and leg length discrepancy: Effects of an extra sole.

Unlabelled: The gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy (CP) often differs from normal, with slow velocity, problem with foot clearance and increased stress on joints. Several factors, such as muscle tone, impaired motor control, muscle contractures, skeletal deformities and leg length discrepancy affect gait. Leg length discrepancy can be treated surgically or with elevation of the shoe on the short leg.

Effectiveness of a partnership-based self-management programme for patients with mild and moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-month, partnership-based self-management programme for patients with mild and moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background: Self-management is a widely valued concept used to address contemporary issues of chronic health problems. Findings of self-management programmes for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are inconclusive.

Dimensions of health-related lifestyle in young adulthood: results from a national population survey.

Aim: This study assessed the underlying structure of health-related behaviours among young adults in Iceland. A number of individual behaviours were considered, including both positive and negative health-related behaviours.

[Changes in myocardial infarction incidence and mortality in Iceland.].

Introduction: According to public health reports ischaemic heart disease was an uncommon cause of death in Iceland at the beginning of the last century.

The objective of the present study is to assess in detail the changes in myocardial infarction attack, incidence and death rate as well as case fatality.
