Background: Despite an established association between heart failure (HF) and lung cancer (LC), there is limited evidence available regarding mortality patterns among the older (≥65 years) population in the United States.
Methods: The mortality data, spanning 1999 to 2019, was surveyed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) database with HF and LC identified as underlying or contributing causes of death. Crude and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) were calculated per 100,000 individuals.
Climate change has caused many challenges to soil ecosystems, including soil salinity. Consequently, many strategies are advised to mitigate this issue. In this context, biochar is acknowledged as a useful addition that can alleviate the detrimental impacts of salt stress on plants.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly of the male genitalia that poses significant management and treatment challenges. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of priority research questions in hypospadiology will be essential to reach agreement on the optimal approach to assessment, treatment, and outcome prediction for affected patients.
Methods: We employed a consensus-building Delphi method to identify and prioritize research questions in the hypospadias field.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality trends in Texas and the U.S. from 1999 to 2019, highlighting significant disparities among different demographic and geographic groups.
- A total of over 29 million CVD-related deaths were recorded in the U.S., with Texas accounting for nearly 2 million of those, showing a slight increase in mortality rates after a period of decline.
- Both Texas and national data reveal that certain groups, particularly men, non-Hispanic Black individuals, and those aged 85 and older, experience higher mortality rates; nonmetropolitan areas also show consistently elevated rates compared to metropolitan regions.
Aims: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is one of the most strongly associated risk factors for stroke. Our study aims to analyze changes in mortality from 1999 to 2020 in patients with AF and stroke.
Methods: Using the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC-WONDER), we retrospectively analyzed annual age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per million from 1999 to 2020 in stroke patients with AF.
