Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is linked with an increased risk of cancers, particularly hematologic malignancies. Cancer mortality among patients with SLE in the United States (U.S.) remains unclear. Our cross-sectional study sought to measure trends in cancer mortality among patients with SLE in the last 2 decades. Cancer deaths among patients with SLE from 1999 to 2020 were analyzed from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER). Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 1,000,000 individuals were measured. We used joinpoint trend analysis to determine the average annual percent change (AAPC) in AAMR trends. From 1999 to 2020, there were 2,481 cancer deaths with comorbid SLE. Overall, the AAMRs of cancer among patients with SLE increased from 0.71 in 1999 to 1.19 per 1,000,000 individuals 2020 with the AAPC at +1.19. Women had a higher AAMR from cancer death with comorbid SLE than men (1.39 vs. 0.29 per 1,000,000 individuals). The highest AAMR was observed among African Americans (1.23 per 1,000,000 individuals), followed by Hispanics (0.61 per 1,000,000 individuals), Whites (0.58 per 1,000,000 individuals), and Asians (0.36 per 1,000,000 individuals). Those who lived in the West region and the rural region had the highest AAMR respectively (0.69 vs. 0.70 per 1,000,000 individuals). The three most common causes of cancer deaths were lung cancer (28.70%), breast cancer (8.83%), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (4.96%). Cancer mortality in SLE patients has risen, with higher rates among African Americans, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.

High-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) are the etiological agents of cervical, anogenital, and a subset of oropharyngeal cancers. In addition, HR-HPVs have been detected in lung carcinomas worldwide, even though the role of these viruses in this type of cancer is not fully understood. This study evaluated the presence of HPV in a cohort of 204 lung cancer cases by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-Luminex.

Latin Americans have a rich genetic make-up that translates into heterogeneous fractions of the autosomal genome in runs of homozygosity (F) and heterogeneous types and proportions of indigenous American ancestry. While autozygosity has been linked to several human diseases, very little is known about the relationship between inbreeding, genetic ancestry, and cancer risk in Latin Americans. Chile has one of the highest incidences of gallbladder cancer (GBC) in the world, and we investigated the association between inbreeding, GBC, gallstone disease (GSD), and body mass index (BMI) in 4029 genetically admixed Chileans.

A one-stone-for-three-bird strategy comprising lignocellulose waste management, photocatalytic toxic organic dye degradation, and anti-bacterial activity has been demonstrated using waste coconut coir derived carbon-supported NiO/PdO (NiO/PdO@C) nanocomposite. The formation of interconnected fibrous morphology with intact formation of face-centered cubic NiO and tetragonal PdO within the graphitic carbon shell in NiO/PdO@C was identified from various structural and morphological analyses. Additionally, the elemental mapping and high magnification transmission electron microscopy analyses observed the homogeneous distribution of bimetallic oxides and their complete coverage by multilayered carbon shell.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is involved in the development of lymphomas, nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC), and a subgroup of gastric carcinomas (GC), and has also been detected in lung carcinomas, even though the role of the virus in this malignancy has not yet been established. BamH1-A Rightward Frame 1 (BARF1), a suggested exclusive epithelial EBV oncoprotein, is detected in both EBV-associated GCs (EBVaGC) and NPC. The expression and role of BARF1 in lung cancer is unknown.

Primary lung cancer in childhood is extremely rare, with an incidence rate of less than 2/100,0000, and pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PMEC), is even rarer. Their symptoms are usually not specific, and there are no guidelines for their management, which makes their clinical management a challenge for pediatricians. The purpose of this report is to discuss the clinical presentation, positive signs, examinations, pathological characteristics, surgical modalities, chemotherapy regimens, and prognosis in children.
