Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of digestive cancers in 9 French departments and to give an estimate of this incidence for the whole of France, based on this data. This study focused on the 1983-1987 period. The record quality for the 9 included registries (Calvados, Côted'Or, Doubs, Haute-Garonne, Hérault, Isère, Bas-Rhin, Somme, Tarn) has been assessed by the National Committee of Registries. The crude incidence rates and those standardized according to the world population have been worked out per localization and per sex. Incidence and mortality rates per department as well as mortality rates for the whole of France have enabled the assessment of the incidence and number of new digestive cancer cases per year. Esophagus and liver cancers are distinguished by large incidence disparities, fluctuating in a ratio of 1 to 5, and by a high sex ratio. In other localizations, incidence rates vary in a ratio of 1 to 2. The incidence rates of digestive cancers were especialy high in the Bas-Rhin department. They tended to be higher in Côte-d'Or, Doubs, Calvados and Somme, than in Haute-Garonne. Hérault and Tarn. The estimated number of digestive cancers was 30,071 in males and 19,951 in females: colorectal canc...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.
