The burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains unclear in many regions the world. GBD (Global Burden Disease) 2015 study integrated data on disease incidence, prevalence, and mortality to produce consistent, up-to-date estimates for burden. CVD was estimated from vital registration verbal autopsy data. prevalence using modeling software health surveys, prospective cohorts, system administrative data, registries. Years lived with disability (YLD) were by multiplying weights. life lost...
IMPORTANCECancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide.Current estimates cancer burden in individual countries and regions are necessary to inform local control strategies.OBJECTIVE To estimate mortality, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), life lost (YLLs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 28 cancers 188 by sex from 1990 2013. EVIDENCE REVIEWThe general methodology Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2013 study was used.Cancer registries were source incidence data as...
This paper examines the state of art in mobile clinical and health-related apps. A 2012 estimate puts number apps at no fewer than 40,000, as healthcare professionals consumers continue to express concerns about quality many apps, calling for some form app regulatory control or certification be put place. We describe range on offer 2013, then present a brief survey evaluation studies medical that have been conducted date, covering disciplines topics. Our includes highlighted risks, negative...
Disability secondary to skin conditions is substantial worldwide. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 includes estimates global morbidity and mortality due diseases.To measure the burden diseases worldwide.For nonfatal estimates, data were found by literature search using PubMed Google Scholar in English Spanish for years 1980 through accessing administrative on hospital inpatient outpatient episodes. Data fatal based vital registration verbal autopsy data.Skin disease extracted from...
Despite recent improvements in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, vast differences melanoma burden still exist between populations. Comparative data can highlight these lead to focused efforts reduce the of melanoma. To assess global, regional national incidence, mortality disability‐adjusted life year (DALY) estimates from Global Burden Disease Study 2015. Vital registration system cancer registry were used for modelling. Incidence prevalence estimated using separately modelled...
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study provides an annually updated resource to study disease‐related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Here we present the burden estimates for atopic dermatitis (AD), including data from inception GBD project in 1990 until 2017. Data on AD were obtained Study. Atopic (AD) ranks 15th among all nonfatal diseases has highest disease skin as measured by disability‐adjusted life‐years (DALYs). Overall, global DALY rate was 121 [95% uncertainty interval (UI)...
BackgroundNumerous population-based studies have documented high prevalence of scabies in overcrowded settings, particularly among children and tropical regions. We provide an estimate the global burden using data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) Study 2015.MethodsWe identified epidemiological sources extensive literature search hospital insurance analysed with a Bayesian meta-regression modelling tool, DisMod-MR 2·1, to yield estimates. combined estimates disability weight, measuring...
The novel photo-sharing social networking platform, Instagram, has an impressive following of 75 million daily users, with a predominantly younger and female demographic. This study investigated the presence dermatology-related content on Instagram. most popular professional dermatological organizations, dermatology journals, related patient advocate groups Facebook Twitter, determined from prior study, were searched for established profiles In addition, terms (i.e. dermatology,...

Importance Disease burden data helps guide research prioritization. Objective To determine the extent to which grants issued by National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Skin Diseases (NIAMS) reflect disease burden, measured disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from Global Burden (GBD) 2010 project. Design Two investigators independently assessed 15 skin conditions studied GBD in NIAMS database for 2013. The diseases were matched their respective DALYs 2010. Setting United States...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin condition characterized by eczematous lesions, i.e. ill-demarcated erythematous patches and plaques. AD commonly associated with elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) atopic disorders, such as asthma, hay fever, food allergies. Rackemann Mallory were some of the first to distinguish between asthma based on presence ("extrinsic") or absence ("intrinsic") allergy. This distinction has subsequently been applied increased IgE disease....
