Nasopharyngeal Obstruction as a Cause of Malocclusion A review of the literature on nasopharyngeal obstruction as etiology of malocclusion. Initial sections discuss anatomy of the nasopharynx and physiology of nasal and oral respiration. The next parts review all possible causes of nasopharyngeal obstruction and its effect on the dentofacial skeleton. Special emphasis is made on the long face syndrome. Finally, the different methods for evaluating obstruction through X rays are described, as well as all possibilities for treatment, including the interrelation of several specialties and the role of the orthodontist.

Angiogenesis as a strategic target for ovarian cancer therapy.

WA Spannuth is a Fellow in the Departments of Gynecologic Oncology and Cancer Biology, AK Sood is Professor in the Departments of Gynecologic Oncology and Cancer Biology and Director of Ovarian Cancer Research, and RL Coleman is Professor and Director of Clinical Research in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology, at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA.
Angiogenesis is a complex and highly regulated process that is crucial for tumor growth and metastasis. Insights into the molecular mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis have led to the identification of potential angiogenic targets and the development of novel antivascular agents. Many of these agents are being evaluated in clinical trials and have shown promising antitumor activity. This Review highlights the results of the latest clinical studies of antivascular agents in ovarian cancer and discusses the challenges and opportunities for future clinical trials.

'Do you have The Waning of the Middle Ages?'
She shot a glance up at me.
'Do you have your own library?' she asked.
'Listen, Harvard is allowed to use the Radcliffe library.'
'I'm not talking legality, Preppie, I'm taking ethics.
You guys have five million books. We have a few lousy thousand.'

Christ, a superior-being type! The kind who think since the ratio of Radcliffe to Harvard is five to one, the girls must be five times as smart. I normally cut these types to ribbons, but just then I badly needed that goddamn book.

'Listen, I need that goddamn book.'
'Wouldja please watch your profanity, Preppie?'
'What makes you so sure I went to prep school?'
'You look stupid and rich,' she said, removing her glasses.
'You're wrong,'' I protested. 'I'm actually smart and poor.'
'Oh, no, Preppie. I'm smart and poor.'
She was staring straight at me. Her eyes were brown.
Okay, maybe I look rich, but I wouldn't let some 'Cliffie - even one with pretty eyes - call me dumb.
'What the hell makes you so smart?' I asked.
'I wouldn't go for coffee with you,' she answered.
'Listen - I wouldn't ask you.'
'That,' she replied, 'is what makes you stupid.'

- This is a must-read. If i say it is, it actually is.

Burn,Baby, Burn!

What’s love got to do with it? What’s love with second hand emotion?

A cup of strong coffee, please?

Mistrust is also gained.

Give me a light!

Love covers a multitude of sins.

Uncalled-for defiance is defeat itself. You’re barking on the wrong dog.

When will you self-destruct?

Ask me anything!
