- The study examined how effective immunization registries are at identifying children who refuse vaccines, and explored their socioeconomic backgrounds and healthcare usage patterns.

- The findings suggest that refusers often come from well-educated, higher-income areas and still utilize healthcare services, indicating a need for targeted communication about vaccination benefits and risks in these communities.
Macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 (MIC-1), a divergent member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily, plays a role in the progression of a number of cancers, including breast, gastric, prostate and colorectal carcinomas.
