Music therapy attempts to facilitate communication and expression – core problems for autistic people – through the development of experiences and relationships mediated by music. This commentary assesses a Cochrane Review of the effects of music therapy, compared with placebo or standard care, for autistic people, and its conclusion that music therapy is probably associated with an increased chance of global improvement and perhaps a slight increase in quality of life and reduction in total autism symptom severity in the short to medium term. The review was not able to examine longer-term effects as the longest follow-up period was 12 months. The certainty of the evidence was graded from moderate to very low, and therefore the results need to be viewed with caution.

This chapter outlines the recent advances in the molecular classification of ovarian cancer and the efforts for rationalised targeted therapies of molecular drivers of individual cancers with a particular emphasis on kinases and their inhibitors. It highlights the challenges that face targeting strategies, particularly at the interface between target discovery and validation that leads to the development of targeting agents. Development of small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology could provide a tool to overcome the shortcomings of some current therapeutic approaches. One of the challenges surrounding the use of siRNA for systemic therapy relates to the need for efficient and biocompatible delivery vehicles. Liposomes, in general, have been shown to be safe in a number of clinical trials using a wide variety of anti-cancer and antimicrobial drugs. Chitosan nanoparticles are highly effective for delivery of siRNA into both tumour and tumour-associated endothelial cells.
