Liability Information:
Despite thorough contents control we assume no liability for the contents of external links. The responsibility of the linked sites lies solely with their operators.
We also exclude any liability for information provided about drug dosages or indications for drugs or other treatments. The articles published in MIBE reflect the scientific state-of-the-art at the time of publication, as to the best knowledge of the authors. However, the medical sciences are advancing rapidly. In addition, any treatment decision should be based not only on general principles but also on a thorough evaluation of each individual case. The scientific articles published in MIBE are therefore not meant to give any treatment recommendation for an individual patient, unless by thorough judgement of an approved physician or - if applicable- psychotherapist.
