TL;DR: The design and execution of research required to address the additional problems resulting from evaluation of complex interventions, those “made up of various interconnecting parts,” are examined.

TL;DR: This book is dedicated to the memory of those who have served in the armed forces and their families during the conflicts of the twentieth century.

TL;DR: The Northwick Park Heart Study has investigated the thrombotic component of ischaemic heart disease by the inclusion of measures of haemostatic function, finding that the biochemical disturbance leading to IHD may lie at least as much in the coagulation system as in the metabolism of cholesterol.

TL;DR: It is concluded that high-quality, adequately powered trials of optimized interventions are required to evaluate effects on objective outcomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify three categories of challenges that have to be addressed to maintain and enhance human health in the face of increasingly harmful environmental trends: conceptual and empathy failures (imagination challenges), such as an overreliance on gross domestic product as a measure of human progress, the failure to account for future health and environmental harms over present day gains, and the disproportionate eff ect of those harms on the poor and those in developing nations.
