Article Abstract
Objectives: To describe the ovarian cancer incidence and mortality trends in France from 1980 to 2000.
Materials And Methods: Incidence data were obtained from 9 French departments covered by cancer registries which systematically record all cancers, of which those of the ovary. Mortality data has been provided by INSERM bureau in charge of the analysis of death certificates.
Results: With 4500 incident cases and 3500 deaths for the year 2000 in France, ovarian cancer still shows a poor prognosis. Age adjusted incidence and mortality rates are almost stable over the study period at an annual rate of 9 by 100000 for incidence and 5.5 by 100000 for mortality. However the risk of developing this cancer and the risk of dying from it, steadily decreased for the cohort born in 1930 to 1950, and the beginning of this reduction corresponds exactly to the beginning of oral contraception. We present comparisons between departments and analyze the border-line tumors in parallel with invasive cancers.
Conclusion: The cancer of the ovary represents only a small part of female cancers (3.8%) in France and its incidence is stable over time, but its prognosis is very bad.

Epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described extensively but have never been compared between countries. We performed an individual patient data analysis of four observational studies to compare epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes. We used propensity score weighting to control for confounding factors.

Background: The best multimodal approach for resectable locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma is unclear. An important question is whether perioperative chemotherapy is preferable to preoperative chemoradiotherapy.
Methods: In this phase 3, multicenter, randomized trial, we assigned in a 1:1 ratio patients with resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma to receive perioperative chemotherapy with FLOT (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel) plus surgery or preoperative chemoradiotherapy (radiotherapy at a dose of 41.
Echocardiographic index of left ventricular performance for prognostication in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: the central role of stroke volume index.
J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown)

Introduction: Cardiac amyloidosis typically causes restrictive cardiomyopathy, in which the impairment of diastolic function is dominant. Echocardiography provides prognostic information through some important parameters: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS). However, LVEF often remains preserved despite disease progression, and GLS is not routinely performed as it is limited by suboptimal image quality.

Background: Severe infection is the most frequent disease underlying disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). To improve understanding of the clinical course, we examined the association between infection type and short-term mortality in patients with infection-associated DIC.
Methods: Patients with infection-associated DIC registered in the Danish Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DANDIC) cohort were categorised by infection type: pulmonary, intra-abdominal, urogenital, others, multiple infection sites and unknown foci.
