Background: From 1969 to 1998, keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) mortality rates declined as reported on death certificates, despite increasing incidence of KC.
Objective: To estimate KC mortality trends from 1999 to 2010 in the United States.
Methods: Descriptive and linear regression analysis using population-based death certificate data from the US National Center for Health Statistics.
Results: On average, 1,491 deaths from nongenital KC and 1,058 deaths from genital KC were reported annually. Keratinocyte carcinoma mortality rates were stable or increasing over the study period. Highest nongenital mortality rates were seen in those older than 85 years (p < .001), men (p < .001), whites (p < .001), the South for white males (p = .001) and white females (p = .018), and nonmetropolitan areas for white males (p <.001), white females (p < .001), and black females (p = .005). Correlation between state UV Index and KC mortality existed for men (p = .004) but not for women (p = .379). Genital KC deaths increased with age (p < .001), in women (p < .001), and in less urbanized areas for white males (p < .001).
Conclusion: Keratinocyte carcinoma poses a serious health burden, which may be underestimated by death certificate reporting. Mortality rates are no longer declining. Increasing awareness of genital and nongenital KC, especially the elderly, and population-based studies with controlled reporting of KC mortality are needed.

Background: The use of local anesthetics (LA) in individuals with Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains a subject of debate due to the lack of large-scale studies confirming their potential risks. This study primarily aimed to evaluate the incidence of new malignant arrhythmias or defibrillation events in patients diagnosed with BrS during the perioperative period, following the administration of local anesthetics, and within 30 days postoperatively. The secondary objective was to analyze the occurrence of adverse effects during hospitalization, as well as 30-day readmission and mortality rates.

Background: Accurate identification of Fusarium species requires molecular identification. Treating fusariosis is challenging due to widespread antifungal resistance, high rates of treatment failure, and insufficient information relating antifungal susceptibility to the clinical outcome. Despite recent outbreaks in Mexico, there is limited information on epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility testing (AST).

Background: Excessive tachycardia is associated with impaired hemodynamics and worse outcome in critically ill patients. Previous studies suggested beneficial effect of β-blockers administration in ICU patients, including those with septic shock. However, comparisons in ICU settings are lacking.

The present study analyzed the impact of age on the causes of death (CODs) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) undergoing chemoradiotherapy (CRT) using machine learning approaches. A total of 2841 patients (1037 classified as older, ≥ 60 years and 1804 as younger, < 60 years) were enrolled. Variations in the CODs between the two age groups were analyzed before and after applying inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW).

Purpose: Perioperative metabolic acidosis negatively affects patient outcomes. Perioperative fluid therapy has a clinically significant effect on acid-base balance. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of isotonic sodium bicarbonate infusion (ISB) versus balanced crystalloid solution (BCS) on perioperative acid-base balance, in terms of postoperative base excess, among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis.
