The aim of this study was to analyze mortality and hospital morbidity from ischemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in the population aged 18+ years in different regions of Croatia, in 1997 to 2006 period. Mortality data were supplied by Central Bureau of Statistics, while hospital morbidity data were obtained from hospital discharge database at Croatian National Institute of Public Health. In Mediterranean region rates of IHD mortality were lower, while rates of hospitalization due to IHD have been higher than those for Croatia in the entire period. Rates of IHD mortality for Continental part have not been different from mean rates for Croatia while rates of hospitalization due to IHD have been lower than rates for Croatia in entire period. Rates of CVD mortality and rates of hospitalization due to CVD for Mediterranean part have been lower than rates for Croatia, while both rates for Continental part have been higher than rates for Croatia during entire period. This analysis identified the regions in which significant deviations from the general trend suggest the need for creation of a new national public health intervention model, focusing on changeable behaviour (lifestyles) risk factors.

Purpose: Fractures pose a significant global health challenge, with varying incidence trends and causes across demographics and regions. This study aims to analyze global patterns in the incidence and primary causes of femoral shaft fractures.
Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Disease database were analyzed for femoral fractures (excluding femoral neck fractures) by age, gender, and socio-demographic index regions.

Survival and cause-specific mortality rates are vital for evidence-based population forecasting and conservation, particularly for large carnivores, whose populations are often vulnerable to human-caused mortalities. It is therefore important to know the relationship between anthropogenic and natural mortality causes to evaluate whether they are additive or compensatory. Further, the relation between survival and environmental covariates could reveal whether specific landscape characteristics influence demographic performance.

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to assess the updated literature for the prevention of salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia induced by non-surgical cancer therapies.
Methods: Electronic databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) that investigated interventions to prevent salivary gland hypofunction and/or xerostomia. Literature search began from the 2010 systematic review publications from the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer/International Society of Oral Oncology (MASCC/ISOO) up to February 2024.
