Worldwide, mortality was strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, both directly through COVID-19 deaths and indirectly through changes in other causes of death. Here, we examine the impact of the pandemic on COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 mortality in 24 countries: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, England and Wales, Hungary, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Russia, Scotland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Using demographic decomposition methods, we compare age- and cause-specific contributions to changes in female and male life expectancy at birth in 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 with those before the COVID-19 pandemic (2015-2019).

Despite previous evidence from country-specific studies, there is a lack of comparative research that provides a broader perspective and challenges existing assumptions. This study aims to examine longevity trends and patterns in six English-speaking countries (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States) by combining period and cohort perspectives and to compare them with other HICs.

- - Lung cancer rates in Russia, particularly among men, have declined since the 1990s due to reduced smoking, but recent trends show rising incidence rates, especially in women since 2012, while mortality rates remain stable.
- - The study utilized national cancer reports and the Russian Fertility and Mortality Database from 1965-2021 to analyze changes in lung cancer incidence and mortality, revealing significant shifts starting around 2013 for men and 2012 for women.
- - An increase in the use of CT scans coincides with these trends, suggesting the need for ongoing monitoring to assess the impact of improved diagnostic methods on lung cancer outcomes in Russia.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to develop a new scoring system for assessing unstable spinal gunshot wounds, as existing classifications are insufficient for this type of injury.
- It will analyze clinical and CT data from patients with thoracolumbar spinal injuries and use the Delphi method for expert collaboration to enhance the accuracy of this classification.
- The research highlights the need for specialized approaches due to the unique nature of gunshot wounds, which differ from typical closed spinal injuries in terms of injury mechanism and treatment strategies.
