Reading is an important skill for children in Liberia to develop. Photos show Liberia's president Ma Ellen reading to children, demonstrating her support for developing strong reading abilities early on. Without access to education, many Liberian children would not have the opportunity to learn reading skills.

Central and Eastern European countries have shown improved resistance to economic turbulence. While their currencies and capital markets declined recently due to eurozone crisis fears, forecasts do not predict a return to recession for the region. In the past decade foreign investment stimulated growth, but also created imbalances. The region was hit hard by the 2008 crisis, though some like Poland avoided recession. Now Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary have stronger economies driven by industry and trade with Germany. The IMF lowered growth forecasts for many in the region but not into a recession. Public debt is generally lower in Central and Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe. Medium-term growth prospects in Central and Eastern Europe are expected to exceed those of Western Europe as the region continues
The AACR Cancer Progress Report seeks to capture the breadth and depth of advances that have brought us to the current inflection point in the cancer field. The Report serves as an educational document for both Congress and the public, alike.

This document discusses acids and bases. It defines acids as substances that produce hydrogen ions (H+) in water and bases as substances that produce hydroxide ions (OH-). Strong acids and bases completely dissociate in water, while weak acids and bases only partially dissociate. The pH scale measures hydrogen ion concentration and indicates whether a substance is acidic, basic, or neutral. Acid rain occurs when atmospheric pollutants like sulfur and nitrogen oxides dissolve in water to form strong acids. Some substances can act as both acids and bases and are called amphoteric or amphiprotic.

This document summarizes the use of various insulin analogs and medications for managing diabetes in pregnancy. It finds that short-acting insulin analogs like lispro and aspart are considered category B and are safe alternatives to regular human insulin for managing gestational and pregestational diabetes. Long-acting analogs like glargine and detemir are category C due to limited safety data, though retrospective studies found no increases in adverse outcomes. Metformin and glyburide may be options for some gestational diabetes cases but require additional insulin in many cases and have some risks. Tight glycemic control is important for reducing fetal complications.
This document discusses diabetic kidney disease and intensive glucose control. It begins with the author's conflicts of interest related to pharmaceutical companies. It then reviews several major studies on intensive glucose control including the DCCT, UKPDS, ADVANCE, ACCORD, and VADT trials. The studies showed reductions in microvascular complications with intensive control but mixed results for cardiovascular outcomes, with the ACCORD trial finding higher mortality in the intensive control group. Overall the document examines the evidence from major trials on benefits and risks of tight glycemic control.
This document discusses acid-base balance and disorders. It defines the anion gap and explains how it is calculated. Causes of increased or decreased anion gap are explained. Acid-base disorders are classified as simple or complex based on whether HCO3- or PCO2 is affected alone or together. The document outlines the primary event, compensation, and correction stages of acid-base disorders. Specific types of disorders discussed include respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and metabolic alkalosis. Key lab findings and treatments are provided for each disorder type.
