Cancer Epidemiology in the Northeastern United States (2013-2017).

Unlabelled: We tested the hypotheses that adult cancer incidence and mortality in the Northeast region and in Northern New England (NNE) were different than the rest of the United States, and described other related cancer metrics and risk factor prevalence. Using national, publicly available cancer registry data, we compared cancer incidence and mortality in the Northeast region with the United States and NNE with the United States overall and by race/ethnicity, using age-standardized cancer incidence and rate ratios (RR). Compared with the United States, age-adjusted cancer incidence in adults of all races combined was higher in the Northeast (RR, 1.

Evaluating the quality of reporting of melanoma prediction models.

Background: Multivariable prediction models combine patient data points to provide actionable estimates of outcomes. Prediction models for melanoma are important for guidance in the midst of the rising incidence and evolving treatment options. This study evaluates the quality of reporting of prediction models using the Transparent Reporting of a Multivariable Prediction Model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) checklist.

Do we CARE about the quality of case reports? A systematic assessment.

Background: Clinical case reports are important sources of information on the identification and treatment of new or rare diseases. The CAse REport (CARE) Statement and Checklist represents consensus-based guidelines for clinical case reports. How well case reports adhere to these guidelines is unknown.

[Hepatocellular carcinoma complicated with echinococcal cyst of the liver].

Aim: We present a rare case of concomitant echinococcus and hepatocellular carcinoma in a single lesion, and discuss the possible pathogenesis.

Material And Methods: A 64-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a few months' history of weakness, weight loss and abdominal discomfort. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a cystic lesion measuring 10 cm in diameter in the segments 2 and 3 and multiple well-enhanced nodules adjacent to the cystic portion in the segments 4,5,8.

[Duct-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy].

The subject of the study is operative-technical special features by fashioned a duct-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy, which has been done by 15 patients. Three of the patients have been operated on a multivisceral caustic injury of an alimentary system and the rest twelve patients on a carcinoma of the pancreatic head or chronic pancreatitis. A subtotal duodenopancreatic resection has been performed on the cases with a carcinoma of the pancreatic head and chronic pancreatitis.
