Background: Silicosis, an occupational disease caused by chronic silica exposure, has a high global burden and limited treatment options. This study analyzed the epidemiological trends and future projections of silicosis based on data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), aiming to provide data support for public health interventions.
Methods: We extracted and analyzed the data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of silicosis, as well as the age-standardized rate (ASR) of silicosis from the GBD Study 2021.
Background: The global burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) attributable to metabolic risk factors is increasing. It is crucial to analyze the global epidemiological patterns of CRC attributable to metabolic risk factors and predict future trends.
Methods: Detailed data on CRC mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to metabolic risk factors were extracted for this study using data from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2021 study to assess the burden of CRC from 1990 to 2021 by global, regional, national, and sociodemographic index (SDI) regions and quantify the time trend using the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC).
Background: Gallbladder and biliary diseases (GABD) represent prevalent disorders of the digestive system.
Methods: Data on age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate (ASDR) were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was utilized to quantify temporal trends in GABD.
Cronkhite-Canada syndrome complicated with pulmonary embolism: A case report.
World J Clin Cases
July 2024
Article Synopsis
- Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare condition characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, skin changes, and a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, with a notable risk for thromboembolic complications.
- A case study of a 46-year-old male with CCS revealed significant health issues including mucus and bloody stool, skin pigmentation, and pulmonary embolism, leading to a complex treatment plan that improved his symptoms.
- This case marks the first report of CCS complicated by pulmonary embolism in China, highlighting the need for increased awareness and preventive measures for venous thromboembolism risk in CCS patients.
