Abstract

The spread of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) is a global crisis. Understanding the dynamics of NCDs at the population level is crucial to develop prevention strategies as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention. However, studies investigating the incidence rate of NCDs among the general population are limited, especially for developing countries like China. We aim to evaluate the incidence rates of four major NCDs from 2007 to 2016, based on a national commercial claims database in China. Cancer, stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) accounted for over 90% of claims data were included as major NCDs. The definition of the above diseases followed the guideline of disease definitions of critical illness insurance released by the Insurance Association of China. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) of those major NCDs among subgroups of sex, demographic regions, and China city tiers were reported. The trends of incidence rates were described as annual percent change (APC) as well as average annual percent change (AAPC) and were then examined by joinpoint models. For the population insured in 2007, the average 10-year ASRs of cancer, CHD, stroke, and ESKD were 221.0, 55.5,...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.
