OBJECTIVE One of the most important and basic variables in emergency department (ED) operations is patient visit volumes.

متن کاملAbsence Epilepsy: The Tail WAGs the Rat.
Commentary If there is any " sure thing " in epilepsy, the syndrome of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) may come close to fitting the bill.

متن کاملTail wags dog: primary cilia and tumorigenesis.
Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway contributes to many forms of cancer. Primary cilia are Hh signal transduction centers. Two papers in a recent issue of Nature Medicine (Han et al., 2009; Wong et al., 2009) show that mutating cilia can increase or reduce the rates of tumorigenesis depending on how the Hh pathway is disrupted.
