Of course rural folk are used to this.  One of the things I love about […] The post Are you prepared to help a neighbo […]

    Harrison et al. Cochrane database of systematic reviews 2015 May 5(5):CD008408 The effect of oral sweets on injection pain in children is unclear. Much of the data were from small studies with conflicting results. There is better evidence for other approaches (e.g., distraction).
  • Baclofen as treatment for alcohol use disorders

  • Do vitamin D supplements reduce falls in older people living in the community?
