Also remaining to be examined is the additional benefit gained by adding anxiety modules to existing treatments, as well as the differential impact of sequential, integrated and modular treatment approaches.
A third approach is a compromise between the two, i.e., the modular treatment of comorbidities within a standard CBT protocol (Otto and Reilly-Harrington 2002; Thienot et al. 2013).
The main difficulties in outcome evaluation of multidisciplinary treatment concepts are: (a) measurement of overall outcome (for example headache days and quality of live) does not allow conclusions about the efficacy of the implement different parts of such a modular treatment concept.
The RIST therapy is a multi-modular treatment consisting of rapamycin, irinotecan, sunitinib and temozolomide that has shown some considerable promise for difficult to treat malignancies in a compassionate use-setting.
Various designs and their implementation will be discussed, with modular pre-treatment and post-treatment options examined.
When considering the lack of a need to transport, store, and handle H2O2 as well as modest capital and operational costs, the modular AOP treatment system can be a competitive technology for point-of-use treatment at a household and community level or even for wellhead treatment of trace organic contaminants present in potable water sources.
Newterra Ltd, a Canadian company that designs and manufactures modular water treatment systems, has acquired the business of Crane Water from diversified industrial manufacturer Crane Co.
Two nameable contributions are by Chorpita, Daleiden and Weisz who develop a modular architecture for psychotherapeutic treatments, and by Van Brunt who decomposes validated cognitive-behavioural treatment programs into free-standing modular parts [ 18, 19].
The system is essentially modular, so that new treatment paradigms and different languages can easily be added.
Carliss Baldwin & Kim Clark's Design Rules (2000) provides a comprehensive treatment of modular design in the strategic context.
