INTENSIVE psychotherapy, effective though it can be, may be considered an anachronism in a high-technology era when people demand quick, ever-present and efficient solutions.
Conventional approaches for engineering such phenotypes are often resource intensive, marginally effective, and unable to generate the level of biological understanding desired.
Novel nanomedicines that have a high ability for flexible, fast drug design and production based on tumor genetic profiles can be created making drug selection for personal patient treatment much more intensive and effective.
I am sure that we can demonstrate that we need more intensive and effective cooperation in this field, without having to give up the main elements of our various national policies.
Because intensive and effective DMARD treatments capable of slowing the progression of radiological and functional deterioration are increasingly being used in clinical practice, progressively longer periods of observation in larger samples of patients should therefore be required to delineate the true predictive value of potential prognostic markers.
Liquefying gas for shipping across the world is horrendously energy-intensive, raising effective emissions by around a fifth.
Fourth, intersectoral engagement was time-consuming and labour-intensive, and effective dissemination to different professional cultures (academia, clinical practice, policy makers, and the community) required the adaptation of research evidence in order to remain relevant to the diverse audiences.
We need more consistent commissioning of intensive and cost effective programmes such as family therapy, intensive fostering and multisystemic therapy.
Previous studies have shown that intensive treatment is effective only with close supervision by doctors.
Kieran O'Loughlin, senior lecturer in Tesol at the University of Melbourne, collaborated with Catherine Elder on a 2003 study looking at how effective intensive 12-week language training was in bringing low-Ielts students up to speed - a common pathway, as many Australian universities require only Ielts 5.0 to 5.5 for foundation level entry.
