Inverse Association Between Statin Use and Overall Cancer Incidence in Individuals With Hypercholesterolemia, Based on the Korean Health Insurance Service Between 2002 and 2015.

The Korean National Health Insurance Service provided the Health Screening Cohort Database. To investigate the cumulative effect of statins on cancer development, we defined statin users as those who used statins during 2002 to 2003 at baseline. Statin users were divided into high and low users.

Cost-benefit analysis of water source improvements through borehole drilling or rehabilitation: an empirical study based on a cluster randomized controlled trial in the Volta Region, Ghana.

Background: Despite remarkable progress in water coverage improvements, diseases associated with poor water remain a considerable public health problem in many developing countries.

Objective: We aimed to estimate the costs and benefits of drilling or rehabilitating boreholes with handpumps in resource-poor settings and hard-to-reach areas.

Methods: Diarrheal reduction in the population was predicted on the basis of the empirical findings from a cluster randomized controlled trial.

The effects of improved sanitation on diarrheal prevalence, incidence, and duration in children under five in the SNNPR State, Ethiopia: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of death, killing 1.3 million in 2013 across the globe, of whom, 0.59 million were children under 5 years of age.

Clinical outcome after pulmonary metastasectomy from primary hepatocellular carcinoma: analysis of prognostic factors.

Aim: To review the surgical outcomes in terms of the surgical indications and relevant prognostic factors.

Methods: Sixteen patients underwent therapeutic lung surgery between March 1999 and May 2006. The observation period was terminated on May 31, 2007.

Photodegradation of diafenthiuron in water.

Diafenthiuron, 1-tert-butyl-3-(2,6-di-isopropyl-4-phenoxyphenyl)thiourea, is an effective insecticide and acaricide. Sunlight degradation of diafenthiuron in various aqueous solutions and pure hexane yielded two major identified products: 1-tert-butyl-3-(2,6-di-isopropyl-4-phenoxyphenyl)-carbodiimide (CGA-140,408) and 1-tert-butyl-3-(2,6-di-isopropyl-4-phenoxy-phenyl)urea (CGA-177,960). CGA-140,408 was further photo-transformed into CGA-177,960 by sunlight.
