Abstract

Our study was designed to determine the cause of death in people over 60 years of age in Inner Mongolia. We performed quantitative analysis of mortality rate, with a special focus on the population characteristics in the Inner Mongolia region of China to provide a reference for future studies. Data were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control from six monitoring points of Death Registry System (DRS) in Inner Mongolia, covering the period 2008-2012 years. We calculated the crude mortality rate over five years, as well as the causes of death and potential-years of life lost (PYLL) by gender over the same time period. We also calculated the crude mortality across different age-specific groups, and analyzed cause of death across these groups. Between 2008 and 2012, the crude mortality rate of individuals in Inner Mongolia aged 60 years or older was 3366,73 /100 000. The crude mortality rate was higher among males (4158,68/100 000) than among females (2633,22/100 000), resulting in a male-female mortality ratio of 1,58 and a total PYLL of 48 968 person-years for males and females combined. Diseases of the circulatory system were the greatest contributor to mortality (1978,50/100 000) and PYLL (25 700 person-years).The frequenc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
