Background: Impact of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) associated Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) has not been assessed in the Icelandic population, nor in a whole population elsewhere.
Objectives: The primary objective was to assess trends in the incidence of MCC in Iceland and the association with MCPyV. Secondary objectives aimed to analyze MCC outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers analyzed genetic data from nearly 130,000 cancer patients and over 730,000 healthy controls to identify variants linked to cancer risk across 22 cancer types.
- Four high-risk genes were found: BIK (prostate cancer), ATG12 (colorectal cancer), TG (thyroid cancer), and CMTR2 (lung cancer and melanoma).
- Additionally, two genes, AURKB (general cancer risk) and PPP1R15A (breast cancer), were associated with decreased cancer risk, indicating potential pathways for cancer prevention strategies.
Background: Melanoma is increasing worldwide, with incidence rates of invasive melanoma and melanoma in situ (MIS) varying by country.
Objective: To provide updated invasive melanoma and MIS incidence and mortality trends in Iceland and explore differences among sex and rurality.
Methods: In this whole-population study using the Icelandic Cancer Registry, patients diagnosed with invasive melanoma or MIS between 1957 and 2021 were included.
Electrolytic bicarbonate conversion holds the promise to integrate carbon capture directly with electrochemical conversion. Most research has focused on improving the faradaic efficiencies of the system, however, the stability of the system has not been thoroughly addressed. Here, we find that the bulk electrolyte pH has a large effect on the selectivity, where a higher pH results in a lower selectivity.
