Trends of female authorship in head and neck surgery publications over the last decade.

Background: While other otolaryngology subspecialties have established female authorship trends, there is no comprehensive study within head and neck surgery (HNS).

Methods: Five researchers recorded the gender identity of first and senior authors from HNS subspecialty papers (head and neck oncology, endocrine surgery, salivary gland pathology, and microsurgery) derived from 10 journals in otolaryngology and oncology in the years 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022.

Results: From 3457 articles, 6901 unique author identities were analyzed.

Disparities in testicular cancer incidence, mortality, and place of death trends from 1999 to 2020: A comprehensive cohort study.

Background: Testicular cancer (TC) mortality rates have decreased over time, however it is unclear whether these improvements are consistent across all communities.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze trends in TC incidence, mortality, and place of death (PoD) in the United States between 1999-2020 and identify disparities across race, ethnicity, and geographic location.

Methods And Results: This cross-sectional study used CDC WONDER and NAACCR, to calculate age-adjusted rates of TC incidence and mortality, respectively.
