Objectives: Adrenal gland cancer (AGC) is a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. Studies on this cancer have been limited. This study, for the first time, aims to analyse the global disease burden and trends of adrenal gland cancer in country level and examine lifestyle and socioeconomic risk factors to generate hypotheses.
Method: The Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) database was used to extract the incidence rate of adrenal gland cancer in 2020. Age-standardized rates (ASR) of AGC incidence and lifestyle/metabolic risk factor prevalence were obtained from databases. Linear regression and Joinpoint regression were used to assess associations with risk factors and Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) of AGC incidence.
Result: Globally, there were an estimated 16,961 new AGC cases in 2020 (ASR: 0.14 per 100,000 persons). Higher disease burden was observed mainly in European regions. ASRs were comparable between sexes (males: 0.16; females: 0.14). The higher ASR was observed among the older population aged (50-74) with an ASR is 0.31 compared to the younger population aged (15-49) with ASR of 0.07. Higher AGC incidence was associated with higher Human Development Index (HDI), Gross domestic product (GDP), and lifestyle-related factors such as physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, and lipid disorder (β = 0.005 to 0.052).
Conclusions: The overall incidence trend showed a decrease, with 3 countries reporting significant decreases and 1 country reporting a significant increase. Similar patterns were observed by sex and age group, except for an overall increase among the younger population.

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) presents a challenging spectrum of outcomes, often complicated by intrarenal arterial/arteriolar lesions (IALs) in affected individuals. Despite their clinical relevance, existing criteria for classifying and assessing the severity of these lesions remain undefined. This study aimed to establish semi-quantitative assessment criteria for grading IALs and to evaluate their prognostic significance in patients with IgAN.

Background: Strict mask wearing and handwashing were implemented in hospital settings during COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan. To explore if nasal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage rate among inpatients in the hospital changed before and after COVID-19, we conducted this study.
Methods: Patients who were admitted to a regional hospital in central Taiwan during one week in 2012 and 2023, respectively, were enrolled.

Background: In the UK, total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is used in 25% of general anaesthetics and is gaining traction because of its lower environmental impact and effectiveness in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Although meta-analyses have compared TIVA and inhalational anaesthesia (IA), the optimal delivery method-manual infusion or target-controlled infusion (TCI)-remains underexplored. This review addresses this gap, leveraging the rapidly growing body of evidence to guide optimal anaesthetic practice.

Neonates represent a distinct population within the context of transfusion medicine. Blood transfusions in neonates are vital interventions for multiple conditions, despite their inherent risks and potential complications. Differences in physiology and other transfusion risk factors unique to this group require careful adaptation of transfusion guidelines.
