PURPOSE We investigated whether the plasma level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) after a diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) influences survival outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS We prospectively studied 1,598 patients with stage I to III CRC. We sought association between plasma 25-OHD and stage-specific survival and tested for interaction between 25-OHD level and variation at the vitamin D rec...

We discuss nucleosynthesis within 6 M models with Z = 0:02, 0:008 and 0:004. The emphasis is on the AGB phase of evolution, with particular reference to thermal pulses and Hot Bottom Burning. We nd strong CN cycling, with substantial Al production, especially at low metallicities.

BACKGROUND Treatment of adolescent migraine remains a significant unmet medical need. We compared the efficacy and safety of 3 doses of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium (suma/nap) combination tablets to placebo in the acute treatment of adolescent migraine. METHODS This randomized, parallel group study in 12 to 17 year olds required 2 to 8 migraines per month (typically lasting >3 hours untrea...
