Analysis of Contact Mechanics and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic Simulations of Viscoelastic Polymer Sine Waves

According the American Cancer Society’s data, in 2013, an estimated 53,640 people developed head and neck cancers [1], which accounts for about 3% to 5% of all cancers in the United States. Removing head and neck malignant neoplasms is one of the first stages towards patient recovery. However, these types of invasive procedures often lead to disfiguring scars and resections with functional and aesthetical drawbacks (see Figure 1).

17075 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Its incidence has doubled over the past 20 years in the United States. Determination of the pattern of occurrence of HCC as a second primary malignancy might give clues for new risk factors for HCC, or may reveal common genetic or environmental risks. Methods: We identified patients with a diagnosis of a second primary HCC between 1973 and 2002 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End-Results Program (SEER) a compilation of population-based cancer registries in the United States, to calculate the observed to expected (O/E) frequency of second primary HCC after a different primary cancer. We stratified by ethnicity, latency from the year of diagnosis of primary cancer to HCC diagnosis, and period of diagnosis of primary cancer as early (1973–1987) or late (1987–2002). Results: We reviewed 1,931,911 subjects with cancer, and identified 1,185 second primary HCC cases. Overall, a second primary HCC after any primary cancer was less frequent than expected (O/E=0.82, 95% CI=0.77–0.87). We found positive associations with head and neck cancers (oral cavity/pharynx O/E=2.1, 95% CI=1.7–2.5), Kaposi's sarcoma (O/E=3.3, 95% CI=1.2–7.1) and Hodgkin's disease (O/E=2.3, 95% CI=1.2–4.0). Negative associations were seen for breast cancer (O/E=0.7, 95% CI=0.6–0.8), colorectal cancer (O/E=0.6, 95% CI=0.6–0.8), and prostate cancer (O/E=0.7, 95%CI=0.6–0.8). Overall, lower O/E ratios were seen in whites, while in African Americans and those of other races, the O/E ratios were close to one. Latency times were relatively short for head and neck cancers and Kaposi's sarcoma (most within 12–59 months), and greater than 120 months for most cases of HCC after Hodgkin's disease. All cases of Kaposi's sarcoma were seen in the later time period. Conclusions: These results highlight possible shared risk factors of alcohol ingestion and viral exposures which may predispose to second primary HCC after other primary malignancies. Providers should maintain heightened alertness for second primary HCC in these patients, especially those with head and neck cancers and HIV. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Objectives: Fireworks are used commonly for celebrations in the United States, but can lead to severe injury to the head and neck. We aim to assess the incidence, types, and mechanisms of head and neck injuries associated with fireworks use from 2010 to 2019. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study, using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, of individuals presenting to United States Emergency Departments with head and neck injuries caused by fireworks and flares from 2010 to 2019. Incidence, types, and mechanisms of injury related to fireworks use in the US population were assessed. Results: A total of 541 patients (349 [64.5%] male, and 294 [54%] under 18 years of age) presented to emergency departments with fireworks-related head and neck injuries; the estimated national total was 20 584 patients (13 279 male, 9170 white, and 11 186 under 18 years of age). The most common injury diagnoses were burns (44.7% of injuries), laceration/avulsion/penetrating trauma (21.1%), and otologic injury (15.2%), which included hearing loss, otalgia, tinnitus, unspecified acoustic trauma, and tympanic membrane perforation. The remaining 19% of injuries were a mix, including contusion, abrasion, hematoma, fracture, and closed head injury. Associations between fireworks type and injury diagnosis (chi-square P < .001), as well as fireworks type by age group (chi-square P < .001) were found. Similarly, associations were found between age groups and injury diagnoses (chi-square P < .001); these included children 5 years and younger and adults older than 30 years. Conclusions: Fireworks-related head and neck injuries are more likely to occur in young, white, and male individuals. Burns are the most common injury, while otologic injury is a significant contributor. Annual rates of fireworks-related head and neck injuries have not changed or improved significantly in the United States in the past decade, suggesting efforts to identify and prevent these injuries are insufficient.
