A pillow includes a head support, a neck support, and an opening extending entirely through a central portion of the pillow. The head support includes a top surface and a bottom surface, and defines a first height extending between the top and bottom surfaces. The neck support is coupled to the head support and includes a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface has a central portion and side portions. The central portion defines a second height extending between a base of the central portion and the bottom surface, and each of the side portions defines a third height extending between an apex of the respective side surface and the bottom surface. The third height is greater than the first and second heights.

A cutting board having a curved chamber wall along a side portion for collecting foodstuff in and pouring foodstuff from a chamber spaced defined by the chamber wall. The chamber wall provides a concaved top face for facilitating wiping a cutting utensil clean of foodstuff so that the wiped-off foodstuff falls toward the center of the cutting surface.

The present invention relates to methods of inducing expression of a polynucleotide encoding a therapeutic polypeptide, e.g., TNF-&#x3b1;, in a cell comprising contacting the cell with a construct comprising an Egr-1 promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide, and at least one chemotherapeutic agent, wherein the chemotherapeutic agent induces expression of the polypeptide. The invention also relates to methods of inhibiting a neoplastic cell, comprising contacting the cell with a construct comprising an Egr-1 promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding TNF-&#x3b1; and a chemotherapeutic agent. The present invention further relates to methods of inhibiting or reducing the growth of a tumor in a subject, comprising co-administering to the subject a construct comprising an Egr-1 promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding TNF-&#x3b1; and a chemotherapeutic agent, wherein the co-administration inhibits or reduces the ability of the tumor to grow.
