Study Question: What is the estimated prevalence and incidence of uterine fibroids diagnosed in Australian women of reproductive age?

Assessment of Racial Misclassification Among American Indian and Alaska Native Identity in Cancer Surveillance Data in the United States and Considerations for Oral Health: A Systematic Review.

June 2024
Department of Biostatistics & Epidemiology, Hudson College of Public Health, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA.
Introduction: Misclassification of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) peoples exists across various databases in research and clinical practice. Oral health is associated with cancer incidence and survival; however, misclassification adds another layer of complexity to understanding the impact of poor oral health. The objective of this literature review was to systematically evaluate and analyze publications focused on racial misclassification of AI/AN racial identities among cancer surveillance data.

Article Synopsis
- The HealthGap study focused on assessing cardiovascular risk among Indigenous Australians in Victoria by using linked administrative data.
- A significant challenge was the varying geographic coverage of data sources, as state-level information related to risk factors was not fully aligned with cardiovascular outcomes from only three hospitals.
- The analysis revealed that the spatial event distribution approach was the most effective in capturing events, identifying 82% overall, with 65% of those being Indigenous cases, although there were limitations regarding misclassification from nearby non-study hospitals.
The association between infectious agents and breast cancer: a review of the epidemiologic evidence.

Purpose: Several viruses have been casually linked to human cancers, including cervical, nasopharyngeal, liver, sarcoma, and Merkel cell carcinomas. However, the etiologic contribution of viral infections to breast cancer, the number one incident cancer among women worldwide, is not well established. Among studies exploring associations of viruses with breast cancer, potential linkages have been identified between breast cancer and five viruses: beta retrovirus, (i.

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Institute of Medicine, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden; Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Oil refinery workers are exposed to benzene, which is a well-known cause of leukaemia, but results on leukaemia in oil refinery workers have been mixed, and the data on workers' exposure is limited. Oil refinery workers are also exposed to asbestos and several studies have shown increased risk of mesothelioma.
Aim: The objective was to investigate cancer incidence, especially leukaemia, at low to moderate exposure to benzene in an update of a previous study of employees at three Swedish oil refineries.
