Background/objectives: The incidence and mortality of early-onset cancers have been rising in recent decades. While epidemiological studies have examined various types of cancer, updated global data on alcohol-attributable primary liver cancer (PLC) in young adults remains limited.
Methods: This study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study spanning 2000 to 2021 to evaluate the age-standardized incidence, mortality, and corresponding rates of alcohol-attributable PLC among young adults aged 15-49 years.
Results: In 2021, there were 8290 incidence cases and 6590 deaths from alcohol-attributable PLC in young adults. The age-standardized incidence rate has increased in Europe (annual percent change [APC]: 0.44%, 95%CI 0.35 to 0.54%), Southeast Asia (APC: 0.40%, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.44%), and the Western Pacific region (APC: 0.65%, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.86%). In 2021, alcohol-attributable PLC in young adults represented 11% (+2% from 2000) of incident cases and 11% of (+2% from 2000) deaths among all PLC in young adults. About half of the countries showed an increase in the age-standardized incidence rate of alcohol-attributable PLC among young adults between 2000 and 2021.
Conclusions: The incidence rate of alcohol-attributable liver cancer in young adults has shifted significantly over the past two decades, with notable increases in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. This trend underscores the need for global strategies to address the rising prevalence of alcohol use disorder and alcohol-associated liver disease and their impact on young adults.

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETS) are common intracranial tumors, but extrasellar or ectopic PitNETS are very rare and supposed to originate from some pituitary remnants. They are mostly found in sphenoidal sinus. But particularly, ectopic clival PitNETS are highly aggressive and can cause bone invasion and can be misdiagnosed as other lesions of the skull base such as chordomas.

Background: Secondary use of routinely collected health care data has great potential benefits in epidemiological studies primarily due to the large scale of preexisting data.
Objective: This study aimed to engage respondents with and without a history of self-harm, gain insight into their views on the use of their data for research, and determine whether there were any differences in opinions between the 2 groups.
Methods: We examined young people's views on the use of their routinely collected data for mental health research through a web-based survey, evaluating any differences between those with and without a history of self-harm.

To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV mortality rates with a focus on demographic predictors and Medicaid access. Using Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research, we conducted a descriptive study comparing HIV mortality in the United States 2 years before the COVID-19 pandemic (2018-2019) and the initial 2 years of the pandemic (2020-2021), and identifying HIV mortality factors during the pandemic. During the first 2 years of the pandemic, crude HIV death rates increased and then decreased marginally.
