Journal ArticleDOI
Are randomized clinical trials good for us (in the short term)? Evidence for a "trial effect".
TL;DR: Whether there is evidence that randomized controlled trials are systematically beneficial, or harmful, for patients is assessed to examine whether the evidence sheds light on the likely sources of the difference in outcomes and potential biases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethical issues in the design and conduct of cluster randomised controlled trials
TL;DR: The need for cluster trials is likely to increase in line with growing concern to evaluate the delivery of health services, public education, and policy on social care, but issues of ethics and guardianship must be addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular Adhesion Protein-1 Mediates Adhesion and Transmigration of Lymphocytes on Human Hepatic Endothelial Cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that VAP-1 supports adhesion and transmigration of lymphocytes across these cells under physiological shear stress and both functions are dependent on its enzymatic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral sex and the transmission of viral STIs
Sarah J L Edwards,Chris Carne +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that HIV transmission can take place through oro-genital sex from penis to mouth and vagina to mouth, and the relative importance of oral sex as a route for the transmission of viruses is likely to increase as other, higher risk sexual practices are avoided for fear of acquiring HIV infection.
Journal Article
Ethical issues in the design and conduct of randomised controlled trials.
Sarah J L Edwards,Richard J. Lilford,David Braunholtz,Jennifer Jackson,Jenny Hewison,Jim G Thornton +5 more
TL;DR: Results and quality assessment for all studies were carried out independently by SE and JH, and one article attempted to show that the RCT was not the most scientifically reliable method after all and argued that the randomisation process does not eliminate systematic error as is commonly assumed.
