Abstract Background: Among different common types of cancer, Gastric cancer (GC) is a worldwide health priority in both developing and developed countries. The aim of this study was to map the distribution of incident cases of GC in Iran to provide a geographical presentation of the incidence of the disease.Methods: This study used the Iranian National Cancer Registry (INCR) data from 2004 to 2014. Excel was used to do the primary analysis including calculation of GC incidence for each province and also to provide a frequency table of the type and location of GC by the provinces. ArcGIS 10.5 (Redlands, CA, USA) mapping software was used to map the provincial age-standardized incidence rates by sex. The type and location of the GC cases were obtained from the NCR dataset.Results: According to the results of the present study, the patients were predominantly male 49,907 (70.0%). During the study period, the highest and lowest age-standardized incidence rates of GC in Iran in 2014 were reported from Ardebil (IR=30.19) and Ghom (IR=1.00) respectively. A significant difference was observed when the distribution of the location of GC tumors was compared between males and females (P<0.001).Conclusions: The results of the current study suggested a lower rate of GC incidence rate was reported in Iran when compared to the global figure in both females and males. The findings suggest involving different factors with different effects in GC among Iranian populations. Further studies are needed to better understand the epidemiology and etiology of the disease.

Abstract Background Among different common types of cancer, gastric cancer (GC) is a worldwide health priority in both developing and developed countries. The aim of this study was to map the distribution of incident cases of GC in Iran to provide a geographical presentation of the incidence of the disease. Methods This study used the Iranian National Cancer Registry (INCR) data from 2004 to 2014. We calculated the crude and age-standardized incidence rates of GC for each province and also defined the frequency distribution of different types and locations of GC by the provinces. Results According to the results of the present study, the patients were predominantly male 49,907 (70.0%) and the most prevalent type of tumour was A1 (almost 96.4%) and C3‌ (2.0%). Also, a significant difference was observed between males and females in the distribution of the types of tumour (P < 0.001). In addition, a comparison of the distribution of the types of GC in Iran suggested that a significant difference exists between the provinces (P < 0.001). A significant difference was observed when the distribution of the location of GC tumors was compared between males and females and provinces (P < 0.001). Accordingly, pylori and cardia are the most common location of GC cancer among the study population (28.1% and 31.3% respectively). Conclusions The results of the current study suggested a higher rate of GC incidence in Iran when compared to the global figure in both females and males. Our study also revealed significant disparities between provinces with regard to the distribution of types, and location of GC. This may suggest involving different factors in GC in different parts of Iran. Further studies are needed to better understand the epidemiology and etiology of the disease in Iran.

Most studies have examined PM2.5 effects on lung cancer mortalities, while few nationwide studies have been conducted in developing countries to estimate the effects of PM2.5 on lung cancer incidences. To fill this gap, this work aims to examine the effects of PM2.5 exposure on annual incidence rates of lung cancer for males and females in China. We performed a nationwide analysis in 295 counties (districts) from 2006 to 2014. Two regression models were employed to analyse data controlling for time, location and socioeconomic characteristics. We also examined whether the estimates of PM2.5 effects are sensitive to the adjustment of health and behaviour covariates, and the issue of the changing cancer registries each year. We further investigated the modification effects of region, temperature and precipitation. Generally, we found significantly positive associations between PM2.5 and incidence rates of lung cancer for males and females. If concurrent PM2.5 changes by 10 μg/m3, then the incidence rate relative to its baseline significantly changes by 4.20% (95% CI: 2.73%, 5.88%) and 2.48% (95% CI: 1.24%, 4.14%) for males and females, respectively. The effects of exposure to PM2.5 were still significant when further controlling for health and behaviour factors or using 5 year consecutive data from 91 counties. We found the evidence of long-term lag effects of PM2.5. We also found that temperature appeared to positively modify the effects of PM2.5 on the incidence rates of lung cancer for males. In conclusion, there were significantly adverse effects of PM2.5 on the incidence rates of lung cancer for both males and females in China. The estimated effect sizes might be considerably lower than those reported in developed countries. There were long-term lag effects of PM2.5 on lung cancer incidence in China.

Background: Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine cancer. We aimed to determine the incidence rates of thyroid cancer across a 10-year period (2004-2013) in Golestan, Iran. Methods: We obtained the thyroid cancer data from Golestan Population-Based Cancer Registry (GPCR). Age-standardized incidence rates (ASR) were calculated and reported per 100000 person-years. The Joinpoint software was used to assess time trends, and average annual percent changes (AAPCs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. Results: Of 326 registered patients, 83 (25.5%) were men and 243 (74.5%) were women. The mean age was 51.3 and 42.6 years for males and females, respectively. Overall, the ASR of thyroid cancer was 2.2 per 100000 person-year (AAPC = 2.76; 95% CI: -3.68 to 9.64). The test of co-incidence showed a statistically significant difference in the incidence of thyroid cancer between men (1.3) and women (3.2) (P < 0.001). According to our results, the ASR of thyroid cancer in western parts of Golestan is higher, including Gorgan and Aliabad cities. Conclusion: Increasing trends in incidence rates of thyroid cancer were found in the Golestan province during the study period, especially in women. We found significantly higher rates of thyroid cancer in women. Geographical diversities were seen in incidence rates of thyroid cancer in the Golestan province. Our results may be helpful for designing further researches to investigate the epidemiological aspects of thyroid cancer in the Golestan province.

Background: Sport-related concussion (SRC) is one of the leading injuries among athletes. Previous epidemiological studies have reported incidence rates of concussion among dual gender sports in which both males and females participate including; soccer, basketball, and baseball/softball yet minimal research has been conducted on differences in recovery time following concussion in the dual gender sports mentioned above. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine injury reporting trends associated with recovery time from concussion in dual gender sports from 2012-2017. Methods: Athletes with a reported SRC, ages 12 to 18 participating in baseball, softball, basketball, and soccer from 2012 to 2017 were included in the current study. Injury and exposure data was extracted and analyzed from the Rank One Health Injury Surveillance Database (ROH ISD). SRC counts, percentages, and recovery time in days were reported based on extracted data. All demographic and raw data were summarized using descriptive statistics with point estimates and 95% confidence intervals calculated for all end points. Independent sample t-tests were performed at <0.05 to measure significant differences between groups. Results: 1,306 athletes (males=583, females=723) with an SRC and corresponding date of return to play recorded in the ROH ISD and participating in dual gender sports were analyzed. 242 baseball/softball SRCs (male=103, mean recovery days=17.82; female=139, mean recovery days=22.12), 458 basketball SRCs (male=187, mean recovery days=20.16; female=271, mean recovery days=23.29), and 606 soccer SRCs (male=193, mean recovery days=19.96; female=413, mean recovery days=23.71) were included. A statistically significant difference in recovery time was observed in male and female soccer SRCs ( t=2.09, p=0.02). No significant differences were observed in recovery time in baseball/softball ( t=1.59, p=0.057) and basketball ( t=1.49, p=0.068). Conclusions: This is the first study of its kind to examine gender differences in report recovery time from SRCs in dual gender sports where both males and females participate. Significant gender differences were observed in reported recovery time in soccer athletes. Sports specialization, level of play, injury education level among participants, and training regiments could all be potential causes for the observed differences. Further research is warranted to explore these gender differences and identify potential causes for these findings.

Abstract: To date, obesity incidence is increasing globally in developing and developed countries. Increased prevalence of obesity suggests that there is an increased risk of obesity-related illnesses. Metabolic and lipid transport disorders can lead to hypercholesterolemia. This can happen especially among people with less physical activity, such as teacher. This study was aimed to assess the comparison of cholesterol levels in obese and non-obese teachers. This was an analytical descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Respondents were 35 teachers at SMP Negeri I and II (junior high school) Kauditan Kabupaten Minahasa Utara consisting of 26 females and 9 males. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated and fasting cholesterol levels were checked from peripheral blood using autocheck tool. The results showed that there were 16 (45.7%) non-obese respondents and 19 (54.3%) obese respondents. Of the 35 respondents, 24 (68.6%) had normal cholesterol levels and 11 (31.4%) had hypercholesterolemia. The bivariate analysis using Mann Whitney test revealed that there was no significant difference in cholesterol levels between obese and non-obese teachers (P = 0.537). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in cholesterol levels between obese and non-obese teachers at SMP Negeri I and II Kauditan Kabupaten Minahasa Utara.Keywords: cholesterol level, BMl, teachers Abstrak: Insiden obesitas dilaporkan tetap mengalami peningkatan secara global, baik di negara berkembang maupun negara maju.

Aim. To determine the prevalence and frequency of different pathological patterns of glomerulonephritis (GN) in adolescent (age ≥ 11 years) and adult Jordanian patients. Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of all clinical and pathological reports of Jordanian patients who had native renal biopsies at the University of Jordan hospital between January 2007 and March 2018 to assess the prevalence and pathological pattern of GN. The data were analyzed statistically using descriptive statistics, the chi-squared test, and Fisher's exact tests. The level of significance was set at P<0.05. Results. Two hundred and nine patients (88 males and 121 females) had native kidney biopsies diagnosed as having GN; the mean age at the time of biopsy was 36.0±14.9 years. Primary GN (51.2%) was more common than secondary GN (48.8%). The most common GN was lupus nephritis (LN) (33.5%), followed by membranous nephropathy (MGN) (15.3%), and diabetic nephropathy (DN) (11.0%). Furthermore, IgA nephropathy was noted in 8.1% of cases. LN was the most common among the secondary GN and occurred in 49.6% of females; MGN was the most common primary GN and occurred in 22.7% of males. There was a statistically significant difference between males and females in the prevalence of LN and MGN (P<.001 and P=.011, respectively). LN was also dominant in all age groups expect for the ≥60 years group, which tended to exhibit DN (40%). Conclusion. LN is the most common GN type in Jordan, followed by MGN and DN. MGN is the predominant primary GN with a higher prevalence among males; LN is the predominant secondary GN and tends to occur in Jordanian females. The GN patterns in this study shifted from membranoproliferative GN to MGN in Jordan, which revealed a shift towards similar patterns exhibited in developed countries. Furthermore, DN is the most frequent GN in the elderly.
