Increased aminotransferases often indicate hepatic injury but are also increased with damage to heart and muscle (1 ). Testing for creatine kinase is helpful, especially when the ratio of aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase is 3:1, a value uncommon with liver injury. In acute liver injury the aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio is usually 2:1. When measu...

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) have lower rates of clinical trial enrollment than younger or older patients with cancer. Multiple approaches to change policy and practice need to be used to improve this statistic. This article examines the option of increasing referral to 3 types of centers that are known to have relatively higher rates of enrollment of AYAs: pediatric cancer centers, AYA ...

Compilation of almost 200 new maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) orientations in Texas reveals a complex intraplate stress field. A large extensional stress province is associated with extensive growth faulting from northeastern Mexico to Louisiana. SHmax is subparallel to the coastline, following the strikes of the growth faults. In contrast, we observe a strike-slip/normal faulting regime with...
