Preliminary Observations on Recent Mortality Trend

mortality forecasting based on lee-carter model

over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent d...

Exploring the recent trend in esophageal adenocarcinoma incidence and mortality using comparative simulation modeling.

BACKGROUND The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has increased five-fold in the United States since 1975. The aim of our study was to estimate future U.S. EAC incidence and mortality and to shed light on the potential drivers in the disease process that are conduits for the dramatic increase in EAC incidence. METHODS A consortium of three research groups calibrated independent math...

Preliminary observations on myiasis in leprosy patients.

Out of 3350 leprosy patients attending the surgical outpatient department for various ulcerative lesions, 18 patients had typical symptoms of myiasis. Maggots were collected in 5 cases from the nose, in 3 cases from ulcers of the hand and in 10 cases from ulcers of the foot. It was possible to rear the maggots into flies in 8 out of 18 cases.
