TL;DR: Strategies for reducing cancer risk in Hispanic populations include targeted, culturally appropriate interventions for increasing the uptake of preventive services and reduced cancer risk factor prevalence, as well as additional funding for Puerto Rico‐specific and subgroup‐specific cancer research and surveillance.

TL;DR: Liver cancer incidence rates in Hispanic men, which are twice those in NHW men, doubled from 1992 to 2012; however, rates in men aged younger than 50 years declined by 43% since 2003, perhaps a bellwether of future trends for this highly fatal cancer.

TL;DR: Evidence of a physiological role for presynaptic glutamate receptors in neurotransmitter release is reviewed, and the physiological roles of ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptor in short- and long-term regulation of synaptic transmission are compared.

TL;DR: Kainate receptors form a family of ionotropic glutamate receptors that appear to play a special role in the regulation of the activity of synaptic networks as mentioned in this paper, and they are involved in synaptic integration, synaptic plasticity, regulation of neurotransmitter release and the control of neuronal excitability.

TL;DR: Overall, cervical cancer survival in the United States has been reported to be among the highest in the world, despite slight decreases over the last decade, according to official statistics.
