Wong et al (pp. 221–229) found that this exponential curve was also evident in their assessment of paranoid thoughts in children, but the freque...

Previous self-harm is a major predictor of non-fatal repetition and subsequent suicide. Owens et al (pp. 193–199), in a systematic review, estimate the rates of these outcomes following self-harm and find the link between self-harm and suicide to be a strong one. Non-fatal repetition occurred in around 15% of people in the year after an attempt, with up to 2% committing suicide over this time. ...

A stroma-dependent cell line (HB-1) was established from myelogenous leukemic cells of CBA/N mouse. Characterization of the cells showed that HB-1 proliferated on hematopoietic supportive stromal cells (MS-10), but did not survive or proliferate on hematopoietic nonsupportive cells (MS-K). Direct contact between HB-1 and MS-10 appears to be necessary for HB-1 to proliferate on MS-10. We found t...
