Objetive: To quantify the contribution of risk factors and treatments in the reduction of mortality due to coronary heart disease in Argentina between 1995 and 2010.
Results: We used the validated IMPACTCHD model integrating data on effectiveness, use of treatments and changes in the risk factors between 1995 and 2010 in people older than 25 years in Argentina. The difference between the coronary deaths observed and expected in 2010 was distributed between treatments and risk factors.
Conclusions: One out of every two MPP due to coronary heart disease in Argentina between 1995 and 2010 was due to treatments and one third to the improvement of risk factors. The decrease in blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking was limited by increases in the prevalence of obesity, sedentary lifestyle and diabetes. This study was possible thanks to the collaborative work to the cardiovascular epidemiology.

NCD Epidemiology Research Center, Shiga University of Medical Science.
Background: Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is a population health indicator that is widely used in developed countries, but little is known about its relationships with combinations of non-communicable disease risk factors. This study was conducted to examine HLE at age 65 according to combinations of blood pressure levels, body mass index, smoking status, and diabetes mellitus (DM) in a Japanese population.
Methods: In a nationwide cohort study (NIPPON DATA90), data on these risk factors were obtained from participants in 1990 through physical examinations, blood tests, interviews, and questionnaires.

Background: The pectoralis major myocutaneous pedicled (PMMP) flap is still considered by many a workhorse flap in head and neck (H&N) reconstruction, despite free flap surgery advancing. The authors aimed to examine this claim and associated myths and controversies by analyzing literature trends and revealing the role of the PMMP flap in a well-established microsurgery center.
Methods: The senior author's reconstructive H&N practice between 1995 and 2022 was reviewed to describe and critically judge primary and secondary PMMP flap decisions to provide invaluable lessons learned and debunk common controversies related to complex H&N reconstruction.
