The incidence of invasive cervical cancer by age and marital status was examined, using census statistics and 1968--71 cancer registry data from women who lived in the Manchester Regional Hospital Board area. The relative rarity of the disease in the unmarried and its higher incidence in formerly married than in currently married women was confirmed. This higher incidence was shown to be mainly...

Marital status was found to be an independent prognostic factor for survival in various cancer types, but it hasn't been fully studied in colorectal cancer (CRC). The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database was used to compare survival outcomes with marital status in each stage. In total, 112, 776 eligible patients were identified. Patients in the widowed group were more frequently ...

The life expectancies have been increasing significantly since the start of 20 century and the trends of mortality improvement are likely to continue in the 21 century. The stochastic mortality models are used frequently to predict the expansion in life expectancy. In addition to gender, age, period, and cohort are three main risk factors considered in constructing the mortality models. Other t...

Fahr’s disease refers to a rare syndrome characterized by symmetrical and bilateral intracranial calcification. We describe a 28 year’s old unmarried girl who presented with fits, anxiety, and panic attacks. She had bilateral symmetrical intracranial calcification. She was proved to have hypoparathyroidism and pleural tuberculosis.

BACKGROUND Recent findings suggest that marital status affects survival in patients with different types of cancer. However, its role in the survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is unknown. In this study, we investigated whether there was an association between marital status and overall survival (OS) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS Adul...

This study aimed to explore competing discourses shape control Zambia. Methods A qualitative case design was adopted, involving 33 individual interviews 9 focus group discussions with adoles...

BACKGROUND The relationship between marital status and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) survival has not been explored. The objective of our study was to evaluate the impact of marital status on OCSCC survival and investigate the potential mechanisms. RESULTS Married patients had better 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) (66.7% vs 54.9%) and 5-year overall survival (OS) (56.0% v...
