Biomedical Science and Research Journals | The Assessment of Intervention Programs for Autism Including Children and their Parents

This is a review study regarding intervention programs for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from a family concept including both children with autism and their parents, because parents are considered essential parts for the successfulness of any intervention programs. ASD is considered to be a long-term neurodevelopmental disorder that is a long-standing problem in the context of social communication and interaction and the dominance of limited, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests or activities. Intervention programs aim to help ASD patients, especially in the early stages of development. Another objective is to involve the parents of children with ASD in order to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of these interventions. Reviewing the literature has shown that parental involvement reduces stress.

AJBSR FAQs: Key Answers to Biomedical Research and Publishing Questions

 AJBSR FAQs: Key Answers to Biomedical Research and Publishing Questions Q: What are the Manuscript Guidelines in Open Access AJBSR? A: The Manuscript Guidelines for the American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research (AJBSR) provide detailed instructions for authors preparing their submissions. The manuscript should be structured as follows: a Title Page including the manuscript title, authors' names, affiliations, and contact information for the corresponding author; an Abstract summarizing the research in 150-300 words with key findings; 3-6 Keywords reflecting the main topics; an Introduction outlining the background, reasons, and objectives; Materials and Methods detailing the study design and procedures for replication; Results presenting findings with appropriate tables and figures; a Discussion interpreting the results and their significance; a Conclusion summarizing main findings and implications; Acknowledgments for contributors, funding sources, or institutions; ...

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | On Random Center Grouping in Multicenter Clinical Trials

  On Random Center Grouping in Multicenter Clinical Trials Abstract With the attention of achieving desired power within a pre-specified timeframe in clinical development, a multicenter trial is often conducted to expedite the patient recruitment. However, a multicenter trial with plethoric number of centers is very likely to result in numerous small centers, which will cause the problem of treatment imbalance (unequal number of patients per arm within a center) and/or center imbalance (a few large centers with a number of small centers). In practice, treatment imbalance within and between centers inevitably occurs regardless the randomization models and/or methods used. Treatment imbalance within center and/or center imbalance will not only (i) increase the probability of observing treatment-by-center interaction, but also (ii) decrease the power for detecting clinically meaningful difference (or treatment effect) of the test treatment under investigation. In this paper, we propos...
