Patients treated with tamoxifen (TAM) for primary breast cancer often manifest de novo or acquired resistance, possibly through changes in drug metabolism. Using solid-phase extraction methods and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography...

Risks to children have been defined from an adult perspective with little or no space given to hearing from children themselves. In this paper we discuss children's perceptions of risk and safety. Children's risk landscapes were con tingent on a rang... Read More about Scary faces, scary places: children's perceptions of risk and safety.
