Divergent Patterns and Trends in Breast Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Survival Among Older Women in Germany and the United States

2020

Background: Breast cancer treatment has changed tremendously over the last decades. In addition, the use of mammography screening for early detection has increased strongly. To evaluate the impact of these developments, long-term trends in incidence, mortality, stage distribution and survival were investigated for Germany and the United States (US).

Active commuting to school among 36,781 Spanish children and adolescents: A temporal trend study.

2021

This study examines trends in the rates of active commuting to school (ACS) in Spanish children (n = 18 343; 8.93 ± 1.68) and adolescents (n = 18 438; 14.11 ± 1.58) aged 6‐18 years from 2010 to 2017. Given the study period included the economic crisis in Spain (2008‐2013), the second aim of this study was to compare ACS rates during and after the economic crisis. Data were obtained from 28 studies conducted across Spain. The overall trends in ACS were evaluated using multilevel logistic regression analysis. Among Spanish children and adolescents, the rates of ACS to school ranged around 60% between 2010 and 2017. The rates of ACS in Spanish youth did not change significantly during the 2010…

Psoriasis and Its Impact on In-Hospital Outcome in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Kidney Injury

2020

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects the body far beyond the skin. Whereas there is solid evidence that chronic skin inflammation in psoriasis drives cardiovascular disease, the impact on renal impairment and acute kidney injury (AKI) is still unclear. We aimed to analyze the impact of psoriasis on the in-hospital outcome of patients hospitalized with AKI. Methods: In this retrospective database study, we investigated data on characteristics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes for all hospitalized patients with AKI stratified for concomitant psoriasis, which were collected by the Federal Office of Statistics in Germany between 2005 and 2016. Results: Am…

Epidemiología y Control de la Enfermedad de Chagas en el Departamento de Cochabamba (Bolivia).

2015

La enfermedad de Chagas es uno de los problemas más graves de salud pública que afectan a América Latina; históricamente extensas áreas de Bolivia han registrado la mayor prevalencia de la infección por su agente causal, el protozoo Trypanosoma cruzi. A principios del año 2000, en este país se puso en marcha un programa de control vectorial, que consistió en el rociado masivo de viviendas con insecticidas piretroides, instaurado para controlar la infestación de viviendas por los insectos hematófagos que transmiten la enfermedad. En este trabajo se proporciona una evaluación detallada de los efectos de este programa en el Departamento de Cochabamba, uno de los lugares más endémico de todo el…

Kriisinkestävä koulu

2022

Meitä edelleen kiusaavan pandemian alettua suomalainen yhteiskunta pysähtyi tai joutui muuttamaan käytäntöjään monella toiminta-alueella. Yksi koko yhteiskuntaa heijasteleva toiminta-alue oli koululaitos eri tasoillaan. Marja-Kristiina Lerkkanen tarkastelee artikkelissaan tuoreisiin tutkimustuloksiin perustuen opettajien työn ja työtilanteen muuttumista ja sen heijastumista niin oppilaisiin kuin koko koulun toimintaan. Esiin nousevat koulujen ja kotien resurssit selvitä muuttuneessa tilanteessa sekä täysin uudesta tilanteesta saatavat opit tulevaisuutta ajatellen. nonPeerReviewed

Depressive symptoms and long-term income: The Young Finns Study

2016

Abstract Background Higher depressive symptoms have been associated with lower future income. However, studies examining this issue have had limited follow-up times and have used self-reported measures of income. Also, possible confounders or mediators have not been accounted. Methods 971 women and 738 men were selected from the ongoing prospective Young Finns Study (YFS) that began in 1980. Depressive symptoms were measured in 1992 when participants were from 15 to 30 years old. Information on annual income and earnings from 1993 to 2010 were obtained from the Finnish Longitudinal Employer-Employee Data (FLEED) of Statistics Finland and linked to the YFS.
