Background: Global comparisons of the burden and impact of cancers of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) are critical for developing effective control strategies and generating etiological hypotheses to drive future research.
Methods: National incidence estimates were obtained from GLOBOCAN 2022, and recorded incidence data from the Cancer in Five Continents series, both developed and compiled by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. We examined the estimated age-standardized incidence rates in 185 countries, as well as time trends in recorded incidence in 35 countries, quantifying the direction and change in the magnitude of the rates using the estimated average percentage change (EAPC).

Necroptosis is a regulated form of cell death implicated in several pathological conditions, including viral infections. In this study, we investigated the expression and correlation of necroptosis markers MLKL, RIP1 and RIP3 in human liver tissue from fatal cases of yellow fever (YF) using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The liver samples were obtained from 21 YF-positive individuals and five flavivirus-negative controls with preserved liver parenchymal architecture.

The mechanical properties of a final product are directly influenced by the solidification process, chemical composition heterogeneity, and the thermal variables during solidification. This study aims to analyze the influence of solidification thermal variables on the microstructure, hardness, and phase distribution of the CuMn11Al8Fe3Ni3. The alloy was directionally and upward solidified from a temperature of 1250 °C.

It is often used with large samples, aggregating data from different regions and hospitals. However, it is unclear how this affects predictions in local centers.
