INTRODUCTION Recent trends in incidence rates for tobacco-related cancers may vary geographically because of variation in socioeconomic status and in history of comprehensive state tobacco control programs (starting with California in 1989). Recent trends in risk factors are likely to affect cancer incidence rates at the youngest ages METHODS Trends in age-adjusted incidence rates for cancers...

foreign body aspiration is unusual in adults, except those who are debilitated or have neuropsychiatric disorders. it can be a life-threatening situation and it often requires a high index of suspicion, because the diagnosis can be obscure. prompt diagnosis and intervention through foreign body retrieval are critical to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. we present a case of denture a...

In the 4-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo, two blastomeres are destined to generate pharyngeal cells, each by a distinct developmental strategy: one pathway is inductive, while the other is autonomous. Here, we identify the pha-4 locus. In animals lacking pha-4 activity, an early step in pharyngeal organogenesis is blocked: no pharyngeal primordium is formed and differentiated pharyngeal cell...
