This broader role for PB as a risk factor for GWI is supported by identification of dose response effects in several studies [ 25, 26, 59], and by studies linking PB use during the Gulf War to brain and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal alterations in Gulf War veterans evaluated many years later [ 9, 18, 19].
Identification of studies: JA, LA.
The Centre for Health Record Linkage (CHeReL) will conduct the first linkage for this study, which will involve identification of the study population through linkage of the AEDI to the PDC and the RBDM birth registrations, followed by identification of records that link to the study population (or their parents) from the AEDI, PDC, RBDM, RoCC, APDC, EDDC, MH-AMB and KiDS data collections.
Beside the elucidation of the mechanism by which CSPGs are involved in psychiatric disorders, another very important aspect of both clinical and in silico studies is represented by identification of mechanism by which the ligands are able to reduce CSPGs activity in the nervous system.

This review may have been limited by an incomplete identification of research studies; however, efforts were made to search bibliographic databases, meta-indexes and the websites of international agencies working in the field.
This sensitive filter was created by combining three filters for the identification of diagnostic studies via the Boolean operator "OR".
Identification of duplicate studies 3.
Identification of relevant studies.
Anonymity and confidentiality was ensured by replacing any potential personal identification of the study participants with unique reference codes.
