http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09018.html
CPSC to consider rulemaking to address crib defects

WASHINGTON, D.C. –

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging parents and caregivers to closely inspect the hardware and stability of their cribs to ensure all parts are in place and secure. The warning by the CPSC comes after the agency's Early Warning System has identified concerns with the durability of cribs, especially those with drop sides that can disengage and lead to dangers of entrapment and strangulation.

NCI Fact Sheets

http://www.cancer.gov/dictionary/
the NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms, which contains more than 4,000 terms related to cancer and medicine. Type the word or phrase you are looking for in the Search box and click "Go". If you are not sure of the spelling, type in a few letters and click "Go". Or browse through the dictionary by clicking a letter in the alphabet.

The search is set up to find terms that start with the words or letters you type. Use "Contains" when you want to find all terms in the dictionary that include a word or set of letters. For example, typing "lung" and choosing "Contains" will find terms like "isolated lung perfusion" and "non-small cell lung cancer" in addition to terms that start with "lung" (e.g., "lung metastases").

http://www.cancer.gov/drugdictionary/
The NCI Drug Dictionary contains technical definitions and synonyms for drugs/agents used to treat patients with cancer or conditions related to cancer. Each drug entry includes links to check for clinical trials listed in NCI's PDQ® Cancer Clinical Trials Registry.
Tips on Looking Up a Drug

* In the Search box, type the name or part of the name of the drug/agent you are looking for and click the “Go” button.
* You can use the generic name (e.g., doxorubicin), U.S. brand names (e.g., Rubex), NSC number, chemical structure names, or other names to find the drug.
* Click on a letter of the alphabet to browse through the dictionary or click on "All" to see a listing of all drugs in the dictionary.
* Change the search from "Starts with" to "Contains" to find all drugs in the dictionary that include a word or set of letters or numbers (e.g., "rubicin" to find daunorubicin, doxorubicin, and epirubicin).
* Use the Help icon icon to get more help.
* Some drug entries include a Patient Information button that links to a drug information summary page.

Information in the NCI Drug Dictionary is from the NCI Thesaurus, which is produced by NCI's Enterprise Vocabulary Services, a collaboration involving NCI's Office of Communications and NCI's Center for Bioinformatics. Each drug entry includes a link to additional information available from the full NCI Thesaurus database, which contains many drugs and other terms not included here.
