Timblin, Pennsylvania
Timblin is a borough in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 157 at the 2010 census. History The community which would later be named as "Timblin" had its genesis in the arrival, during the early 1800s, of several pioneer settlers in Perry Township: James McClelland (1803), Benjamin Ions (1804), David Hamilton (1806). Elijah Ekis, Michael Lantz and William Smith then arrived in 1815. In 1843, Smith relocated with his sons to land that would later become part of Timblin. The town's name, according to ''The Brookville American'', would subsequently be chosen to honor Andy Timblin, the town's postmaster during the mid-1880s. Timblin's father, A. Timblin, had built a log cabin, in or before 1840, near the same area where the Smith family had settled, and had then begun farming the land there. Timblin got its start as a true town circa 1883, when John A. Timblin opened a store at the site. A post office called Timblin was established in 1889. The town grew ...

Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer arises when cell (biology), cells in the pancreas, a glandular organ behind the stomach, begin to multiply out of control and form a Neoplasm, mass. These cancerous cells have the malignant, ability to invade other parts of the body. A number of types of pancreatic cancer are known. The most common, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, accounts for about 90% of cases, and the term "pancreatic cancer" is sometimes used to refer only to that type. These adenocarcinomas start within the part of the pancreas that makes digestive enzymes. Several other types of cancer, which collectively represent the majority of the non-adenocarcinomas, can also arise from these cells. About 1–2% of cases of pancreatic cancer are neuroendocrine tumors, which arise from the hormone-producing neuroendocrine cell, cells of the pancreas. These are generally less aggressive than pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Signs and symptoms of the most-common form of pancreatic cancer may include jaundice, ye ...
