I was about to disagree, as surely a health system that is on its knees does not need to be wasting money on therapy that doesn't work, but here's...
The numbers are the mean proportion of school attendance (e.g. 0.5 = 50% school attendance per week), then standard deviation. The double digit...
A report of markedly reduced testosterone in women with LC, somewhat reduced levels in men: Sex differences in symptomatology and immune profiles...
I've participated in a trial and then read in the resulting paper what was said about what the participants were told - and there was a...
