â  â  hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is a major worldwide public health concern. despite recent advances, there has been little success in improving the survival of hcc patients. due to advances in diagnostic modalities and the increasing incidence of chronic viral hepatitis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), both of which are well known risk factors of hcc, the prevalence of hcc is ...

human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection has been associated with cardiac disease, including anatomical or functional disturbance to the heart. cardiomyopathy (cmp) is one of these disturbances that have been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. in this review article, several aspects of potential relationships between hiv infection and cardiomyopathy development have been...

Recent research has shown a widening gap in life expectancy at age 50 between the United States and Europe as well as large differences in the prevalence of diseases at older ages. Little is known about the processes determining international differences in the prevalence of chronic diseases. Higher prevalence of disease could result from either higher incidence or longer disease-specific survi...

BACKGROUND Disease incidence and prevalence are both core indicators of population health. Incidence is generally not as readily accessible as prevalence. Cohort studies and electronic health record systems are two major way to estimate disease incidence. The former is time-consuming and expensive; the latter is not available in most developing countries. Alternatively, mathematical models coul...
