Returning to work after sick leave due to cancer: a 365-day cohort study of Japanese cancer survivors.

PurposeMore employees are experiencing a cancer diagnosis during their working-age years, yet there have been no large-scale Japanese studies investigating sick leave due to cancer. We clarified differences in the cumulative partial and full return to work (RTW) rates between different cancer types among Japanese cancer survivors.MethodsData on Japanese employees who experienced an episode of sick leave due to clinically certified cancer diagnosed between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2011 were obtained from an occupational health register. Subject outcomes within the 365-day period following

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 infection in patients with hematologic malignancy.

To assess outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancy and pandemic (H1N1) 2009 infection, we reviewed cases during June-December 2009 at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center. Seventeen (63%) and 10 (37%) patients had upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), respectively. Cough (85%) and fever (70%) were the most common signs; 19% of patients had nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Sixty-five percent of URTI patients were outpatients; 35% recovered without antiviral therapy. All LRTI patients were hospitalized; half required int

Ten Americas: a systematic analysis of life expectancy disparities in the USA.

BACKGROUND: Nearly two decades ago, the Eight Americas study offered a novel lens for examining health inequities in the USA by partitioning the US population into eight groups based on geography, race, urbanicity, income per capita, and homicide rate. That study found gaps of 12·8 years for females and 15·4 years for males in life expectancy in 2001 across these eight groups. In this study, we aimed to update and expand the original Eight Americas study, examining trends in life expectancy from 2000 to 2021 for ten Americas (analogues to the original eight, plus two additional groups comprisi

An expanded nationwide view of chronic kidney disease in Aboriginal Australians.

We summarize new knowledge that has accrued in recent years on chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Indigenous Australians. CKD refers to all stages of preterminal kidney disease, including end-stage kidney failure (ESKF), whether or not a person receives renal replacement therapy (RRT). Recently recorded rates of ESKF, RRT, non-dialysis CKD hospitalizations and CKD attributed deaths were, respectively, more than sixfold, eightfold, eightfold and threefold those of non-Indigenous Australians, with age adjustment, although all except the RRT rates are still under-enumerated. However, the nationwide

Cancer of the Larynx-20-Year Comparative Survival and Mortality Analysis by Age, Sex, Race, Stage, Grade, Cohort Entry Time-Period, Disease Duration and ICD-O-3 Topographic Primary Sites-Codes C32.0-9: A Systematic Review of 43,103 Cases for Diagnosis Years 1975-2017: (NCI SEER*Stat 8.3.9).

BACKGROUND: .-Laryngeal malignancy, "voice box" cancer, is uncommon with 12,620 estimated new cases and 3770 deaths in the United States in 2021,1 and represents only 6.2% of all respiratory system malignancies. The most significant risk factors are alcohol and tobacco consumption. Almost all cases (98%) of laryngeal cancer arise in the squamous epithelium, and in this analysis more than 75% are of well-or-moderately differentiated histopathology (Grades I&II). Local stage cancer (SEER Historic Staging) was more common than regional and distant stages combined (55.3% vs 44.7%). Tumors may aris

[Dysphagia or dysphagias during neuroleptic medication?].

INTRODUCTION: Dysphagia is a common symptom in the general population, and even more among psychiatric patients, but rarely seen as a sign of seriousness. It is a cause of death by suffocation, and more or less serious complications, and therefore should be diagnosed and treated. Among psychiatric patients, organic and iatrogenic aetiologies, as well as risk factors are identified, which worsen this symptom when associated. It is now accepted that neuroleptics can aggravate or cause dysphagia. They act by several pathophysiological ways on the different components of swallowing, which can be i

Monitoring progress toward achieving Maternal and Infant Healthy People 2010 objectives--19 states, Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), 2000-2003.

Географическая связь множественного склероза и амиотропического бокового склероза.

Амиотрофический боковой склероз (ALS) и множественный склероз (MS) являются разрушительными, неизлечимыми нейродегенеративными заболеваниями, которые в значительной степени считаются неизвестными этиологами. Хотя эти болезни имеют некоторые сходства, они, как правило, не считаются тесно связанными между собой. У них разные патологические маркеры и разные прогнозы. Кроме того, MS (но не ALS) считается аутоиммунным заболеванием. Кроме того, уже давно отмечается, что НР имеет мощный градиент север-юг в своем распределении, в то время как лишь недавно стало известно о таком градиенте в БАС. Вместе

Regional, demographic and temporal trends in anemia and malignant cancer-related mortality in U.S. older adults: a nationwide CDC WONDER analysis (1999-2020).

PurposeAnemia and malignancy concurrently contribute to reduced quality of life, treatment intolerance, and increased morbidity and mortality, disproportionately affecting older adults, socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, and minority populations. Despite its clinical importance, national patterns and population-level disparities in the mortality burden associated with this comorbidity remain poorly characterized. This study aims to examine mortality trends associated with concurrent anemia and malignancy in the United States using CDC WONDER (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wid

Mortality in patients with alpha-mannosidosis: a review of patients' data and the literature.

BACKGROUND: Alpha-mannosidosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by reduced activity of alpha-mannosidase. Clinical manifestations include skeletal dysmorphism, mental impairment, hearing loss and recurrent infections. The severe type of the disease leads to early childhood death, while patients with milder forms can live into adulthood. There are no mortality studies to date. This study aimed to investigate the age at death and the causes of death of patients with alpha-mannosidosis who had not received disease-modifying treatment. METHODS: Clinicians and
