Abstract

To examine temporal changes in incidence and 1-year mortality of first myocardial infarction (MI) in different age groups for both genders in Denmark over a 35-year period (1978-2012). Patients aged 30 years or older admitted with first MI in Denmark from 1978 to 2012 were included (n = 316 790). Overall, first MI incidence per 100 000 person-years (/105 p.y.) decreased significantly from 500 to 297/105 p.y. for males and from 229 to 156/105 p.y. for females. The decline was greatest among men aged 70-79 from 1460 to 643/105 p.y. (-56%). The majority of age groups also experienced declining incidence. However, men aged 30-39 and ≥90 years as well as females aged 30-49 and ≥90 years had increasing incidence during the study period. Moreover, the incidence decreased from 1978 to 1996 among males aged 40-49 and females aged 50-59 years, but increased in the remainder of the study period. One-year case-fatality declined significantly from 50 to 9% of MI male patients, and from 53 to 15% of MI female patients when comparing 1978 to 2012. Statistical analysis with Poisson models demonstrated that the mortality rate increased with age and decreased with time and indicated no significant difference between genders. During the period fr...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.
