Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) of various cancers in Isfahan province, Iran, using data from a local cancer registry covering 2014 to 2018.
- The registry recorded 42,994 new cancer cases, with a majority being males, and showed strong quality indicators, such as a high microscopic verification rate.
- The most common cancers included prostate and bladder cancers in men, and breast cancer in women, with higher incidence rates for leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma compared to national averages, indicating potential links to environmental factors in an industrial setting.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between cancer and multiple sclerosis (MS) in a large population from Isfahan province, Iran, known for its high MS incidence.
- Out of over 10,000 people with MS, 123 were diagnosed with cancer, with a significant incidence rate, especially in older age groups.
- Key findings indicate that older age and certain treatments, like monoclonal antibodies, are associated with increased cancer risk, with female breast cancer being the most prevalent among women with MS.
Article Synopsis
- Muscle biopsy is a standard method for diagnosing inflammatory myopathies, but researchers aimed to see if muscle ultrasound could provide a simpler, non-invasive alternative.
- The study involved 17 newly diagnosed patients and 17 healthy controls, comparing clinical assessments and muscle ultrasound measurements, revealing significant differences in muscle echo intensity and thickness.
- Results indicated that echo intensity scores were better at distinguishing between healthy and affected individuals than other tests, suggesting it could be a valuable diagnostic biomarker for inflammatory myopathies.

Electrical instruments are an integral part of human life resulting in a vast electronic waste generation (74.7 Mt by 2030), threatening human life and the environment due to its hazardous nature. Therefore, proper e-waste management is a necessity.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe growing consumption of electrical and electronic equipment leads to high amounts of electronic waste (e-waste), which is now considered the fastest-growing waste stream at the national and international levels. As well as being a potential secondary resource due to its precious metals content, e-waste also contains strategic metals and plastics. For instance, mobile phones have about 25-55% plastic substances.
