Author Correction: Circulating Levels of Inflammatory Proteins and Survival in Patients with Gallbladder Cancer.

abstract：:Groundwater aquifers are an essential source of drinking water, and must be protected against contamination. Phosphogypsum stacks originating from the processing of phosphate rock contain small amounts of radionuclides, such as 226Ra. In September 2016, a sinkhole located beneath a phosphogypsum stack collapsed under ...
