Background: Increasing incidence of head and neck cancers (HNCs), driven by rising rates of oropharynx cancer (OPC), has been recorded around the world. This study examined trends in HNC and subsites (oral cavity, oropharynx, and larynx cancers) in Scotland focusing on assessing whether the sociodemographic profile has changed over the past 20 years.
Methods: Scottish Cancer Registry data (2001-2020) including European Age Standardised Rates of HNC and subsites were analysed in multivariate Poisson regression by age, sex, area-based socioeconomic status, and year of diagnosis (with interaction tests).
Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 252 patients revealed that cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can rule out true MINOCA in over half of these cases and identifies specific conditions, such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and myocarditis.
- * Over a follow-up period of up to 10 years, patients diagnosed with AMI or nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) experienced significantly higher rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) compared to those with a normal CMR, highlighting the prognostic value of CMR in
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how British and Egyptian/Sudanese communities perceive traits related to autism, highlighting cultural influences on understanding and reporting autistic behaviors.
- Using focus groups and interviews, researchers identified three main themes: judgments of behaviors, differences in child development considerations, and challenges with interpreting autism screening items.
- The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing cultural and socioeconomic factors in autism reporting, suggesting adaptations of diagnostic tools for better accuracy in diverse communities.
Introduction: Comprehensive local data on adolescent health are often lacking, particularly in lower resource settings. Furthermore, there are knowledge gaps around which interventions are effective to support healthy behaviours. This study generates health information for students from cities in four middle-income countries to plan, implement and subsequently evaluate a package of interventions to improve health outcomes.
