Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is common in South China. Although regional epidemiological data on NPC in China is available, national epidemiological data have been unavailable up to now. The goal of this study was to analyze the NPC incidence and mortality data in some domestic cancer registries, estimate these rates in China in 2010, and provide scientific information that can be harnessed f...

Back ground:Tetanus is a neurological disorder characterised by increased muscle tone, spasms and autonomic instability with high a mortality .Though it is easily preventable with highly effective vaccine, tetanus is still a major health problem in India and other developing countries and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Aims: The aim of our study is to assessthe epidemiological...

Diabetes and cancer are two heterogenous diseases which rapidly increasing in prevalence globally. A link between these non-communicable was first identified over 100 years ago however, recent epidemiological studies advances genomic research have provided greater insight into the association diabetes cancer. Epidemiological suggested that individuals with an increased risk of several types (in...

BACKGROUND In Europe important differences exist concerning policies for the prevention of common diseases. In most cases these cannot be explained by the underlying epidemiology. However, successful policies should have a measurable effect on disease epidemiology. There has been little research comparing the effect of national preventive policies on disease-specific mortality. OBJECTIVES To ...

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations. Though generally considered representative the actual ambient conditions and individual’s exposure, their broader application in environmental epidemiology is often constrained by inhomogeneous records sparse density meteorological Cl...

The second epidemiologic transition is defined as “the age of receding pandemics”, wherein mortality declines, life expectancy increases, and population growth occurs. The major causes of death also shifted from predominantly acute infectious diseases to degenerative and “man-made” diseases (Omran, 1983). The aim of this study was to determine the timing of the transition in Zürich (Switzerland...

When estimating mortality from disease with fish population models, common surveillance data such as infection prevalence are not always informative, especially for fast-acting diseases that may go unobserved in infrequently sampled populations. In these cases, seroprevalence — the proportion of measurable antibody levels their blood be more informative. cases life-long immunity, require less f...

Objective: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic with very high morbidity and mortality for both the mother fetus. Diagnosis management can pose some difficulties especially in low-resource centers. The objective this stady to illustrate different epidemiological, clinical therapeutic data abdominal pregnancy. Patient observation: We present an additional case primary omental at 12 gest...

Mortality is one of the most important quality markers in critical care, and there have been many epidemiological studies trying to identify risk factors to better understand the mechanisms leading to death in this complex disease. One of the major problems is that there are multiple factors contributing to fatal outcome of septic patients, and it is difficult to distinguish between those that ...
