background: esophageal cancer is the sixth cause of death in the world, there was a lack of population‑based information on the trend and incidence rate of esophagus cancer, so this study aimed to determine the incidence and pathological changes of esophagus cancer in iran. methods: in this study, data were extracted from annual cancer registry reports of iranian ministry of health between 2003...

Modeling of individual users is a promising way of improving the performance of spoken dialogue systems deployed for the general public and utilized repeatedly. We define “implicitly-supervised” ASR accuracy per user on the basis of responses following the system’s explicit confirmations. We combine the estimated ASR accuracy with the user’s barge-in rate, which represents how well the user is ...

INTRODUCTION Alcohol consumption has been identified as a risk factor for many cancers but less attention has been paid to the fraction of those cancers that are attributable to alcohol consumption. In this study, we evaluated the incidence and population attributable fraction (PAF) of cancers associated with alcohol consumption in Nigeria. METHODS We obtained data on incidence of cancers fro...

BACKGROUND Population-based cancer registry collects the data on cancer incidence and mortality deaths from covered population to describe and survey the epidemics in certain areas. The aim of this study was to estimate the cancer incidence and mortality in Wuwei, Gansu province, Northwestern China from 2003 to 2012. The goal is to better understand cancer distribution and long-term development...

BACKGROUND The risk to develop gastric cancer in Thailand is relatively low among Asian countries. In addition, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of gastric cancer in Thailand varies with geographical distribution; the ASR in the North region is 3.5 times higher than that in the South region. We hypothesized that the prevalence of H. pylori infection and diversity of CagA phenotype cont...

BACKGROUND Articular Surface Replacement (ASR) hip prostheses, which have metal-on-metal bearing surfaces, were manufactured by DePuy Orthopaedics (Warsaw, Indiana) for use in both conventional total hip arthroplasty and hip resurfacing. Both the ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System were recently recalled worldwide by the manufacturer. This report summarizes an analysis b...

BACKGROUND Health disparities exist among and within countries, while developing and low income countries suffer more. The aim of this study was to quantify cancer disparities with regard to socioeconomic position (SEP) in 22 districts of Tehran, Iran. METHOD According to the national cancer registry, 7599 new cancer cases were recorded within 22 districts of Tehran in 2008. Based on combined...

BACKGROUND Northern Iran counts as one of the highest prevalence regions for esophageal cancer (EC) worldwide. This study was designed to assess the epidemiologic aspects of EC in north central and northwest Iran over a 10 year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Guilan cancer registry study (GCRS) is a population- based cancer registry study featuring retrospective (1996-2003) and prospective ...

INTRODUCTION Uterine cervix cancer is an important public health problem in Tunisia. In this study, we report trends in the incidence of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix uteri in the central region of Tunisia during 1993-2006. DESIGN Data were obtained from the Cancer Registry of the Center of Tunisia which registers invasive cancer cases by active methods. Five-year a...
