1. Mortality due to oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Uruguay from 1997 to 2014
Abstract Oral and oropharyngeal cancer is considered a public health problem in several countries due to its high incidence and mortality rate. Objective: This study aimed to analyze oral and oropharyngeal cancer mortality in Uruguay from 1997 to 2014 by age, sex and country region. Methodology: A time series ecological study using secondary data was perfo

2. Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in the Septuagenarian
Analyzed during a 3-year period were 86 patients from 70 to 80 years of age who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting without other cardiac procedures. The series included 57 men (66%) and 29 women (34%). The average follow-up period was 27 months. The early mortality rate for the men was 5.2%, and the overall mortality was 8.7%. This compared with an ag

3. Interactions between sources of mortality and the evolution of parasite virulence.
A well-known result from the theory of the evolution of virulence is the prediction that the virulence of a pathogen (i.e. the rate of parasite-induced host mortality) always evolves to higher levels when host background mortality rates increase. This prediction, however, is derived from models that assume that host mortality sources combine additively to de

4. Natural Selection and Density-Dependent Population Growth
Natural selection was studied in the context of density-dependent population growth using a single locus, continuous time model for the rates of change of population size and allele frequency. The maximization principle of density-dependent selection was applied to a class of fitness expressions with explicit recruitment and mortality terms. Three general re

5. Statewide regionalization of pancreaticoduodenectomy and its effect on in-hospital mortality.
OBJECTIVE: This study examined a statewide trend in Maryland toward regionalization of pancreaticoduodenectomy over a 12-year period and its effect on statewide in-hospital mortality rates for this procedure. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Previous studies have demonstrated that the best outcomes are achieved in centers performing large numbers of pancreaticoduode

6. The Medical Burden of Heart Failure: A Comparative Delineation with Cancer in Brazil
Abstract Background: Due to its poor prognosis and mortality rates, heart failure (HF) has been recognized as a malignant condition, comparable to some cancers in developed countries. Objectives: To compare mortality from HF and prevalent cancers using data from a nationwide database in Brazil. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study using

7. A evolução da mortalidade por causas externas no Brasil de 2006 a 2012
External causes are the leading cause of death worldwide and the third leading cause of death in Brazil. The aim of the present study was to analyze the evolution of mortality from external causes in Brazil from 2006 to 2012. Mortality from external causes was analyzed according to age, sex, place of residence and year of occurrence, using database obtained

8. Mortality among injecting drug users: a critical reappraisal.
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to quantify all cause mortality among injecting drug users. DESIGN--This was a retrospective analysis of 1989 data on injecting drug users and mortality obtained from three independent agencies: the Procurator Fiscal's Office, the General Register Office, and the Scottish HIV-test register. SETTING--Greater Glasgow, Scotland. SUB

9. Results of surgery for bronchial carcinoma in patients aged 70 and over
The number of elderly patients who are developing carcinoma of the bronchus and who are also fit for surgical treatment is increasing. One hundred patients are reviewed who had operations for this condition. The histological distribution of growths in this age group is the same as in younger patients, and the rate of growth can be just as rapid. The importan

10. Laboratory-confirmed deaths caused by influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 in the Santa Catarina State, Brazil, 2009-2014
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Little information is available on the evolution of influenza A (H1N1)pdm09-related mortality in Brazil. METHODS: During the period 2009-2014, official epidemiological surveillance and mortality data were used to ascertain influenza-related deaths in the Santa Catarina State in Brazil. RESULTS: The highest overall mortality rate

12. Reproductive potential predicts longevity of female Mediterranean fruitflies.
Reproduction exacts a price in terms of decreased survival. Our analysis of the interplay between age patterns of fecundity and mortality for individual female medflies (Ceratitis capitata) revealed that individual mortality is associated with the time-dynamics of the egg-laying trajectory. In a sample of 531 medflies, we found that each individual has a cha
