The European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer was initiated in the early 1990s to evaluate effect screening with prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) testing on death rates from prostate cancer.We identified 182,000 men between ages 50 and 74 years through registries seven countries inclusion our study. were randomly assigned a group that offered PSA at an average once every 4 or control did not receive such screening. predefined core age this study included 162,243 55 69 years....
<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objective</b> To determine the risk of lung cancer associated with exposure at home to radioactive disintegration products naturally occurring radon gas <b>Design</b> Collaborative analysis individual data from 13 case-control studies residential and cancer. <b>Setting</b> Nine European countries. <b>Subjects</b> 7148 cases 14 208 controls. <b>Main outcome measures</b> Relative risks concentrations in homes inhabited during previous 5-34 years measured becquerels (radon...
Several trials evaluating the effect of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing on prostate-cancer mortality have shown conflicting results. We updated in European Randomized Study Screening for Prostate Cancer with 2 additional years follow-up.
A 15-Country collaborative cohort study was conducted to provide direct estimates of cancer risk following protracted low doses ionizing radiation. Analyses included 407,391 nuclear industry workers monitored individually for external radiation and 5.2 million person-years follow-up. significant association seen between dose all-cause mortality [excess relative (ERR) 0.42 per Sv, 90% CI 0.07, 0.79; 18,993 deaths]. This mainly attributable a dose-related increase in all (ERR/Sv 0.97, 0.28,...
<h3>OBJECTIVE</h3> To determine provincial trends in provision of intrapartum care by general practitioners and family physicians (GP/FPs) for the 11 years from 1984 to 1995. <h3>DESIGN</h3> Analyses Medical Care Fee-for-Service Utilization data births 1984-1985 1994-1995. <h3>SETTING</h3> 10 provinces Canada. <h3>MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES</h3> Proportion vaginal billed GP/FPs (expressed as total number divided births). <h3>RESULTS</h3> In 1994-1995, proportion ranged 77.2% British Columbia...
Animal studies and small in humans have shown that uranium is nephrotoxic. However, more information about its renal effects following chronic exposure through drinking water required. We measured concentrations urine 325 persons who had used drilled wells for water. serum of calcium, phosphate, glucose, albumin, creatinine, beta-2-microglobulin to evaluate possible effects. The median concentration was 28 microg/L (interquartile range 6-135, max. 1,920 microg/L) 13 ng/mmol creatinine...
After 11 years of follow-up, the European Randomized Study Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) reported a 29% reduction in prostate-cancer mortality among men who underwent screening prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. However, extent to which harms quality life resulting from overdiagnosis and treatment counterbalance this benefit is uncertain.
The anatomic location of a glioma influences prognosis and treatment options. aim our study was to describe the distribution gliomas in different areas brain. A representative population-based sample 331 adults with used for preliminary analyses. locations 89 patients from single center were analyzed more detail radiologic imaging recorded on three-dimensional 1 × 1-cm grid. age-standardized incidence rate 4.7 per 100,000 person-years. most frequent subtypes glioblastoma (47%) grade II-III...
No study has compared the bothersomeness of all lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using a population-based sample adults. Despite this lack evidence, investigators have often cited their LUTS interest as "most bothersome" or "one most bothersome."To compare population- and individual-level burden in men women.In cross-sectional study, questionnaires were mailed to 6000 individuals (18-79 yr age) randomly identified from Finnish Population Register.The validated Danish Prostatic Symptom...
This overview describes the principles of 4th edition European Code against Cancer and provides an introduction to 12 recommendations reduce cancer risk. Among 504.6 million inhabitants member states Union (EU28), there are annually 2.64 new cases 1.28 deaths from cancer. It is estimated that this burden could be reduced by up one half if scientific knowledge on causes translated into successful prevention. The a preventive tool aimed informing people how avoid or carcinogenic exposures,...
To assess the validity of recently developed American College Rheumatology (ACR) nomenclature for neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE).We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based study covering an area with 440,000 people. A total 46 patients aged 16 to 65 years fulfilled criteria definite diagnosis SLE. One control each patient matched by age, sex, education, and place residence was randomly identified from population register. All controls underwent clinical...
