Purpose: To analyze trends in second primary cancer (SPC) incidence by using a case-mix approach to standardize on first cancer site distribution.
Methods: Cases registered by 13 French cancer registries between 1989 and 2010 and followed-up until June 2013 were included. The person-year approach was used to compute standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of metachronous SPC. Usual SIRs and cancer site-specific weighted SIRs called "case-mix SIRs" (cmSIRs) were estimated by sex and calendar period of first cancer diagnosis. Calendar trends in SIRs and cmSIRs were compared.
Results: More than 2.9 million person-years at risk were included. Among males, SIRs dropped from 1.49 to 1.23 between 1989-1994 and 2005-2010, while cmSIRs decreased from 1.40 to 1.27. This difference seems mainly related to a stronger representation of prostate cancers (at lower risk of SPC) and a weaker contribution of bladder and head and neck cancers (at higher risk of SPC) in recent periods of diagnosis. Among females, both SIRs and cmSIRs have remained stable at around 1.22 and 1.21, respectively.
Conclusions: The cmSIR is an indicator that is not influenced by changes in first cancer site distribution. Its use should be encouraged to assess second cancer incidence control.

Rolling bearings play a crucial role in industrial equipment, and their failure is highly likely to cause a series of serious consequences. Traditional deep learning-based bearing fault diagnosis algorithms rely on large amounts of training data; training and inference processes consume significant computational resources. Thus, developing a lightweight and suitable fault diagnosis algorithm for small samples is particularly crucial.

Over the past two decades, despite the emergence of various novel therapies for glioblastoma, patient survival outcomes remain poor, particularly in the recurrent stage of the disease. Cesium-131 (Cs-131) brachytherapy presents a promising treatment option for patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent brain neoplasms, enabling the initiation of radiation therapy at the time of tumor resection. This approach eliminates the typical delay in therapy following surgery and the need for multiple return visits for fractionated external beam radiotherapy.

Objective: To map existing knowledge on screening and rehabilitation outcomes for co-occurring traumatic brain injury among people with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Articles focusing on screening and rehabilitation outcomes in participants sustaining co-occurring traumatic brain injury and traumatic spinal cord injury (all ages) were identified in Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses electronic databases. There were no limitations on study design, date, or geographical location.

Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a hereditary disorder characterized by genetic mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes, affecting approximately 0.35% of the population. LS primarily increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as various other cancer types like endometrial, breast, and gastric cancers.

Background: Health services research often relies on secondary data, necessitating quality checks for completeness, validity, and potential errors before use. Various methods address implausible data, including data elimination, statistical estimation, or value substitution from the same or another dataset. This study presents an internal validation process of a secondary dataset used to investigate hospital compliance with minimum caseload requirements (MCR) in Germany.
