Incidence rates for stage of disease and disease-specific mortality of cutaneous melanoma were calculated and controlled for gender, age, and area of residence from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 20...
The incidence rates for CM were significantly higher in rural Michigan counties, from 2014-2018, for all patients, both age groups, both genders and all stages. Melanoma-specific mortality rates were ...

Serum samples were taken from young adult and adult participants of the Michigan PBB registry from 1974 to 2019. A single compartment model was assumed for the elimination rate for PBB-153 in young ad...
In total, 1974 participants contributed 4768 samples over a forty-year span. The median initial PBB-153 level was 1.542 parts per billion (ppb) (Range: 0.001-1442.48 ppb). The adjusted median particip...
Consistent with previous studies, PBB-153 has been demonstrated to have a long half-life in the human body and may be modified by some demographic characteristics. These updated estimates of half-life...
