Gibraltar is one of the few remaining British colonies and the historical development of medical services on the Rock, named after its Moorish conqueror Gebel Tariq in AD 700, has been reviewed by Montegriffo (1978). The Rock provides a useful small community for studying the mental health of its population, being 1 × 3 miles in area and with a population of 29,166 (1986 census). The population has remained static for the last decade with the male/female ratio 15/14. There were 507 births, male/female ratio 254/253 and 290 deaths (154 males and 136 females, 1986 census). The age distribution has altered; the percentage over 65 years in 1970, 9.8% and in 1980, 11.2%.

Abstract Abstract 4291 CML accounts for approximately 15 percent of the cases of leukemia in adults. It has an annual incidence of 1 to 2 cases per 100000, with a slight male predominance. The median age at presentation is about 60 years and the incidence increases as a function of age, as reported in North American, Australian and European series. However, in our country we found a younger age at diagnosis. Herein we report our analysis of the age distribution of the patients included in the Mexican Cooperative Leukemia Group. We analyzed 356 patients with diagnosis of CML Ph+, from January 2001 to December 2008. The data analysis showed a median age at diagnosis of 37 years (range 16 to 64 years), with a male: female ratio of 1.1:1. There is a clear difference of age between Mexican patients with CML and those reported in the referred series (37 vs. 60 years) highlighting a geographical and/or ethnical pattern that may play a role as prognostic factor and response to treatment. Moreover, challenge the multistep theory of carcinogenesis in CML, inspired by the observation that cancer incidence increases as a higher order function of age, explained by an increasing somatic mutations rate with age. Further analysis and long term observation is required. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Epidemiological Characteristics

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the world and in Russia remains a major event of 2020. All over the world, research is being conducted to comprehensively study the patterns and manifestations of the epidemic  process. The main quantitative characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics among the population, based on the data of official monitoring over the current situation, play an important role in the development of  the epidemiological surveillance system.The aim of this study is to explore the peculiarities of age-gender distribution of COVID-19 patients in Moscow.Material and methods. The data related to the epidemiological characteristics of age-gender structure of COVID-19 patients in Moscow between March 19, 2020 and April 15, 2020, at different stages of the  epidemic were retrospectively analyzed.Results and discussion. The mean age of COVID-19 patients in Moscow was 46,41±20,58 years. The gender ratio (male/female) among the patients was 52.7/47.3 %, wherein the indicators varied depending upon the  age. Male/female ratio in the age group “under 39” stood at 53.7/46.3 %, and “over 40 years of age” – at  39.3/60.7 %. The predominant age range among male cases was 19 to 39 years old – 35.4 %, while among female patients – 40–59 years (36.5 %). The age distribution of patients in Moscow is indicative of the fact that COVID-19 is a disease that primarily affects older age groups. The age structure of all COVID-19 cases during the observation period is characterized by predominance of adult patients over 19 years of age – 92,7 % (92,6–92,8 %), the share of patients aged 40–59 years is 35,7% (35,5–35,9 %). The differences in the age distribution in males and females are as follows: in the male cohort, the age groups 19–39 years old and 40–59 years old prevail – 35.4 % (35.1–35.7 %) and 34.9 % (34.6–35.2 %), respectively. The age group 40–59 years old – 36.5 % (36.3–36.8%) dominates in the female cohort.

Introduction and Aims: CML is the commonest adult leukemia in India and the disease is diagnosed commonly in the 3rd or 4th decade of life - at least 10 years earlier than in the west, making the disease an important issue in AYA cancers. The present study reports our 10 year experience (all patients registered after 2005 with minimum of 3 years follow up) with the use of 1st line IM in patients of CML Chronic Phase (CML-CP) in patients aged 15 to 29 years. Methods: Patients of CML-CP receiving 1st line IM, aged 15 to 29 were included in the study. Standard demographics; hematological response, molecular responses (RQ-PCR on International Scale) q 6 monthly and toxicity of IM were assessed. Results A total of 337 patients of CML-CP were registered, 89 (28.7%) of which were aged between 15 to 29 and were on 1st line IM. These are reported in this study. Age distribution: 15 to 19 years: 17 (19.1%); 20 to 24: 26 (29.2%); 24 to 29: 46 (51.7%). Male female ratio: 53 (59.5%) to 36 (40.5%). Sixty one (68.5%) received innovator IM (Glivec) through the GIPAP (Glivec International Patient Assistance Program), 28 (40.5%) generic IM. At 10 years f/u, 6 (6.7%) patients were lost to f/u, 15 (16.8%) off imatinib (12 sub-optimal molecular response/relapse, and 3 b/o toxicity - 2 hepatitis, 1 renal). Seventy four (74) patients continue on IM, 56 on 400 mg/day and 18 on > 400mg/day. Fifty nine are in deep molecular response, 15 have a bcr/abl between 0.1 to 1.0 but are in complete hematological remission. Musculo-skeletal toxicity, grade I to II: 11/74 (14.8%), skin toxicity grade I: 27/74 (36.5%) and GI grade I to II: 16/74 (21.6%) were seen. Discussion and Conclusion CML is a common cancer in AYA in developing countries. IM, including generic IM, remains the standard 1st line drug for the majority and is effective, well tolerated in most patients. Issues related to treatment-free-remission (TFR), compliance, long-term drug toxicity and fertility need to be studied in this young population.

The author examined completed suicides occurring over a period of 25 years in a county of Hungary with a traditionally low (relatively speaking) suicide rate of 25.8. The rates are clearly higher in villages than in the towns. The male/female ratio was close to 4:1, among elderly though only 1.5:1. The high risk groups are the elderly, divorced, and widowed. Violent methods are chosen in 66.4% of the cases. The rates are particularly high in the period April-July. Prior communication of suicidal intention was revealed in 16.3% of all cases. Previous attempts had been undertaken by 17%, which in turn means that 83% of suicides were first attempts. In our material 10% the victims left suicide notes. Psychiatric disorders were present in 60.1% of the cases, and severe, multiple somatic illnesses (including malignomas) were present in 8.8%. The majority of the data resemble those found in the literature.

Abstract Background Road traffic accident (RTA) is the eighth leading cause of death worldwide. Motorcycle-associated head injury is the leading cause of road traffic associated morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Even though the incidence and mortality of head injury from motor cycle crash is on the increase in developing countries, especially in the African continent, most of the studies published in the literature on this subject matter took place in the developed Western countries. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of data from patients managed in our institution between December 2014 and November 2016. Results One hundred and eighty-four patients were analyzed. None of the patients used safety helmet for protection. The mean age was 27.6 ± 17.2 years with male female ratio of 6.7:1. Lone crash by cyclists and collisions accounted for 66.8% and 33.1% of the cases, respectively. Passengers and riders comprised 75% of the patients, while 25% were vulnerable pedestrians. The most frequently abused substance by the patients was tramadol (65.52%). Severe head injury and pupillary abnormality were found in 23.9% and 45.5% of the patients, respectively. Cranial CT scan showed abnormalities in 40.2% of the patients. Surgery was done in 28.3% of the patients with mortality rate of 20.7%. Conclusions The use of motorcycle as a mean of transportation has caused significant negative impact on the society. Young people, who constitute the workforce, are majorly affected, and this invariably leads to a serious economic burden on the concerned families and communities.
