is a recently described species of mastodon from the Pleistocene of California and Idaho. We report the easternmost occurrence of this taxon based upon the palate with right and left M3 of an adult male from the Irvingtonian of eastern Montana. The undamaged right M3 exhibits the extreme narrowness that characterizes .

MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy; EU FP7-CP-IP; Project No: 261357; 2010-2015) has proposed an innovative approach to develop early indicators for the prediction, diagnosis, prevention and targets for therapy. MeDALL has linked epidemiological, clinical and basic research using a stepwise, large-scale and integrative approach: MeDALL data of precisely phenotyped children followed in 14 birth cohorts spread across Europe were combined with systems biology (omics, IgE measurement using microarrays) and environmental data. Multimorbidity in the same child is more common than expected by chance alone, suggesting that these diseases share causal mechanisms irrespective of IgE sensitization.

Context: The availability of massive, parallel-sequencing technologies makes possible efficient, simultaneous detection of driver and druggable mutations in cancer.

Objective: To develop an amplicon-based, next-generation sequencing, mutation-detection assay for lung cancer using the 454 GS Junior (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, Indiana) platform.

Design: Fusion primers incorporating target sequence, 454 adaptors, and multiplex identifiers were designed to generate 35 amplicons (median length 246 base pairs) covering 8.

Allergic diseases [asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis (AD)] are complex. They are associated with allergen-specific IgE and nonallergic mechanisms that may coexist in the same patient. In addition, these diseases tend to cluster and patients present concomitant or consecutive diseases (multimorbidity).

Male F1 hybrids between inbred strains and Mus macedonicus have very small testes and are sterile. Cytological analysis of testes shows very few meioses. To determine the genetic basis for this sterility, (C57BL/6J x Mus macedonics) F1 females were mated to males from C57BL/10J.
