Foreign body (FB) aspiration/ingestion in children represents a major cause of hospital admission and mortality. Evaluating risk factors and identifying trends in specific FB products could improve targeted health literacy and policy changes. A cross-sectional study querying emergency department patients less than 18 years old with a diagnosis of aspirated/ingested FB was conducted using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database between 2010 and 2020.

- Senescence is a natural process that stops cells from growing, which helps prevent tumors; certain genes like K-Ras can cause this process in cells.* -
- In a study with specific cells, scientists found that K-Ras increases certain chemicals called ceramides and affects a protein called sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1), which plays a role in cell growth.* -
- By lowering levels of SK1, the scientists were able to increase signs of senescence and stop cell growth, suggesting that targeting SK1 could be a new way to treat cancer.*
