Last year, Langeliers set career highs with 49 runs, 18 doubles, 11 home runs, 44 RBIs, 35 walks and a sparkling .994 fielding percentage. His walk-off RBI single clinched Baylor’s first-ever Big 12 Tournament championship, and he was named Co-Most Outstanding Player of the Big 12 Tournament with teammate Cody Bradford.

You might want to ask if you are providing your readers with the ratio right of harms to premature deaths from prostate cancer.

When I renounced my Israeli citizenship in 2001, this was the statement I was trying to make: I no longer want to be a member of a group that does that, or collaborate with the crime, especially not in the name of or as an expression of my very identity as a person.

I was there and I know what it’s like inside the cult. I also what it looks like on the other side. I know the psychological mechanisms that enable people with your belief system to continue to live and look at yourselves in the mirror every day. But even as a psychotherapist I really cannot grasp how genuinely honest and good people can live like this, except if deep down they are driven by a fear they might not even be conscious is there. We have all been raised on the horrors of the ghost of antisemitism… We were groomed to be frighted of it as if it was a living monster that will get us and devour us. The only protection is huddling together in one place. Can you even see how primitive all of this is? There is nothing sophisticated about Jewish identity and Zionism. They are based on ancient human fear of a dangerous world, and on the experience that there is nowhere safe except in the little ghetto, Sheitel, group.

Under lead author Joshua Roth, PhD, who is also affiliated with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the team used a microsimulation model of prostate cancer that links disease progression with individual PSA growth.

Carroll explained that during the 1990s and 2000s, PSA screening was poorly implemented; older men were overscreened, younger men were underscreened, low‐risk disease was overtreated, and high‐risk disease was undertreated.“[D]espite these problems, we drove down prostate cancer mortality rates by more than 50%, but at the cost of too much entirely avoidable treatment and its attendant side effects,” he said.

The expiratory airflow obstruction that characterises chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is usually progressive over time and caused by emphysema, obliterative bronchiolitis, and mucus hypersecretion. Stopping smoking is the only measure that slows the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and smokers should be encouraged to stop at all stages of the disease. The effects of medication are limited, and need to be balanced against cost and adverse effects. Bronchodilators, given by puffer and spacer rather than by nebuliser, are effective. Avoid inhaled corticosteroids unless there is associated asthma. Pulmonary rehabilitation leads to important improvements in quality of life. Influenza vaccination is helpful. Comorbidity from cardiac disease and sleep disordered breathing are common and can be effectively treated. New therapies under evaluation include lung volume reduction surgery, non-invasive ventilation, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

In addition, longitudinal plasma samples were included from 26 acutely infected individuals who were recruited as part of the San Diego Acute and Early Infectious Disease Research Program (7). Twelve individuals developed neutralizing Ab breadth after 2 to 3 years of infection, whereas 14 individuals (matched for age, gender, and ethnicity) did not develop any appreciable tier 2 neutralizing Ab breadth. Plasma samples were analyzed at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year after the estimated time of infection. These limited time points were included not only to ensure that sampling occurred before the evolution of neutralizing Ab breadth but also to maintain consistency in comparison for matched durations of infection. All individuals provided informed consent at their respective institutions.
