Natural gene flow often delivers alleles from cultivated species into unmanaged populations of weedy or wild relatives. Unmanaged populations with introgressed crop alleles may become the unintended repositories of crop alleles that are no longer available to breeders. Descriptive studies have confirmed the introgressi…

BACKGROUND: We examined the external genitalia of 2149 elementary schoolboys in the suburban area of Taichung in Taiwan for an understanding of foreskin development before adolescence. METHODS: The study's subjects comprised 692 first-grade boys, 725 fourth-grade boys, and 732 seventh-grade boys. The foreskin's condit…

Variation in the clinical stage at which AIDS is diagnosed has hindered the ability of investigators to generate survival estimates which are stable across study cohorts. As a result, little is known about how clinical and sociodemographic factors are associated with survival, independent of AIDS diagnosis stage. By es…

Violence in the emergency department (ED) is a significant problem and it is increasing. Nevertheless the problem remains inadequately investigated as most studies that have investigated this issue are descriptive in nature.
