Objective: To assess the trend over time of the relative frequency and incidence of adenocarcinoma (AC) in Israeli Jewish women.
Design: Register study.
Setting: Israel National Cancer Registry.
Population: All cases of histologically proven invasive cervical cancer diagnosed during two time periods: 1961-1971 and 2002-2004.
Methods: Calculation of frequencies and incidence rates and comparison by the chi2 test and by the Poisson regression model, respectively.
Main Outcome Measures: Frequency and incidence of AC.
Results: There were a total of 532 women with a diagnosis of cervical cancer during the first and 434 women during the second period (incidence 4.2 and 4.7/100,000, respectively). The total incidence rates and frequency rates of AC during the two periods were statistically not different. The frequency rate of AC during the second period was significantly higher in the 20-29 and the 40-49 age groups and in the North African born than in the other ethnic groups.
Conclusions: Our study indicates that except in certain age and ethnic groups, the frequency and incidence of AC has not significantly altered in Israel over the time periods studied.

How likely is it that a virus or bacteria is causing a patient's symptoms? A new approach to interpret the outcome from multi-pathogen PCR.
Infect Dis (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, College of Public Health, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA.
Background: Whether a detected virus or bacteria is a pathogen that may require treatment, or is merely a commensal 'passenger', remains confusing for many infections. This confusion is likely to increase with the wider use of multi-pathogen PCR.
Objectives: To propose a new statistical procedure to analyse and present data from case-control studies clarifying the probability of causality.

Objective: To explore the knowledge-action gap regarding health behaviors and their influencing factors among patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), using the Health Belief Model as a theoretical framework.
Design: A qualitative approach was adopted, involving semistructured interviews with individuals with MAFLD.
Setting: Participants were recruited from a community hospital and a tertiary hospital in Nanjing, China, between July and October 2022.
