TL;DR: Opiate substitution treatment provided as maintenance therapy is associated with a reduction in the risk of HIV infection among people who inject drugs, which could reflect comparatively high levels of motivation to change behaviour and reduce injecting risk behaviour.

TL;DR: Review-level evidence indicates that harm reduction interventions can reduce IRB, with evidence strongest for OST and NSP, but further studies are needed to assess the effectiveness and impact of scaling up comprehensive packages of harm Reduction interventions to minimise HIV and HCV transmission among PWID.

TL;DR: The fundamental transforming event in BL is the translocation of the MYC gene, and the events that bring about this translocation and those that allow cells to survive with the constitutive expression of MYC have been the subject of intense investigation.

TL;DR: Multiple risk behaviour is prevalent in both genders during adolescence but the pattern of individual risk behaviour varies between boys and girls, and effective interventions are needed to address gender-specific patterns of risk behaviour during adolescence.

TL;DR: The onset of multiple risk behaviours, such as smoking, anti-social behaviour, hazardous alcohol consumption and unprotected sexual intercourse, cluster in adolescence and are associated with increased risk of poor educational attainment, future morbidity and premature mortality.
