Epidemiology and Molecular Epidemiology
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2019Incidence, prevalence, and survival for diffuse low-grade gliomas and diffuse anaplastic gliomas (including grade II and grade III astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas) varies by histologic type, age at diagnosis, sex, and race/ethnicity. Significant progress has been made in identifying potential risk factors for glioma, although more research is ...

PURPOSE Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are considered rare tumors and can produce a variety of hormones. In this study, we examined the epidemiology of and prognostic factors for NETs, because a thorough examination of neither had previously been performed.

Descriptive Epidemiology in Clinical Epidemiology [PDF]
, 2010 We live in the era of evidence-based medicine where “true believers” tend to disregard anything but randomized clinical trials (RCTs) even when assessing the impact of any intervention or diagnostic procedure. However, there are several shortcomings in RCTs, for instance the ability to assess long-term effects and rare outcomes.

Intracranial atherosclerotic occlusive disease is an important and possibly the most common cause of stroke worldwide. Asian, Black and certain Hispanic populations have a high risk of harboring intracranial occlusive disease. In this chapter we review the epidemiology of intracranial occlusive disease by primarily focusing on studies from China, Japan,

The Epidemiology of Genetic Epidemiology
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae: twin research, 1992AbstractFamilial aggregation for disease is important; strong familial risk factors must exist even if the increased risk to a relative of an affected individual is modest. It is in practice difficult, however, to conduct studies in genetic epidemiology which conform to strict epidemiological principles.

Hospital Medicine, 2000
Invasive fungal infections have emerged as important causes of hospital related morbidity and mortality. They are increasingly seen in patients not previously considered at risk, e.g. patients on an intensive care unit. Candida albicans and Aspergillus spp. are the most common pathogens, posing challenges in epidemiology, control and treatment.

BIOTIC INVASIONS: CAUSES, EPIDEMIOLOGY, GLOBAL CONSEQUENCES, AND CONTROL
, 2000Biotic invaders are species that establish a new range in which they proliferate, spread, and persist to the detriment of the environment. They are the most important ecological outcomes from the unprecedented alterations in the distribution of the earth'

Cancer encompasses a family of several hundreds of diseases which are distinguished by site, morphology, clinical behavior, and response to therapy. Whether considered from a biological, a clinical, or a public health point of view, it is the malignant and invasive nature of many of these diseases and their ability to spread to distant organs ...
