Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Cancer Registry Annual Report, 1975 There are 23 hospitals currently participating in the Registry, although data has not been accessed for i97h and 1975 from two medical centers because the development of new computer systems at the medical centers has caused delays; however, we are hopeful that these several thousand cases can be accessed with the 1976 data for next year's annual report. Although the Registry cannot provide statewide cancer incidence data, it does provide a good sample of the cancer experience in North Carolina. The central registry will continue to do a periodic death-match, a procedure matching registry patients with the death certificates in the Vital Records Branch. Hospital registrars are notified of patient deaths from their hospital cases, which saves time and effort of Searching for the information on the deaths and allows for cancer deaths to be recorded as soon as possible, thus improving the quality of survival data by keeping it more current.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Cancer Registry Annual Report 1973 In an effort to preclude duplicate reporting under the state's reportable disease law, the Registry makes possible the elimination of the Cancer Morbidity Reporting System in participating hospitals. Since January, 1972, pathologists in member hospitals have been exempt from reporting cases of cancer that are reported in the Registry system. The Registry also sponsors an annual Cancer Registry Symposium. Liaison physicians and cancer registrars from all of the local cancer registries in North Carolina are invited. Lectures are given by the state's cancer authorities on specific types and sites of cancer and panel discussions are held which allow participants to review the cancer programs at their hospitals and to discuss problems. Abstracting and follow-up workshops are also provided for the registrars. Currently, 2] hospitals are actively participating in the Registry, including the state's three medical centers. It has been estimated that 80% of the cancer cases in North Carolina are seen at Registry hospitals. Although the Registry cannot provide statewide cancer incidence data, it does provide a good sample of the state's cancer experience.

Next the North Carolina Cancer Registry reports on five selected primary sites which represent those sites most frequently reported in North Carolina. The discussions accompanying the graphs on each of these primary sites were written by Joseph A. Buckwalter, M.D., Chairman of the Executive Committee to the North Carolina Cancer Registry. In each primary site discussion there are comparisons made with data from the National Cancer Institute's End Results in Cancer, Report No. 4 which is a compilation of data collected by six-hospital registries and three statewide registries When evaluating the differences between North Carolina data and End Results data the following points should be kept in mind.

The central registry serves to coordinate the activities of the local registries, with the goal of develop ing a uniform, comprehensive method for collecting, storing, and retrieving data that will be helpful in providing better care for present and future victims of cancer. Through computerization, the central registry can aid local registries in completing follow-ups, can supply more complete regular reports than would normally be available at the local level, and can maintain an ever-increasing data bank for those interested in cancer research.

Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances in adjuvant therapies of cancer, the regi mens of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy treatment which are presently available fail to cure the majority of cancer patients. Pre operative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy represents a new approach in drug scheduling, based on sound theoretical, pharmacokinetic, and experimental principles. The preoperative timing of chemotherapy before definitive sur gery is not a minor change in the therapy of cancer. To be successful, large numbers of practitioners and their patients must participate. Substantial alterations of many aspects of the present management of cancer will have to follow. Therefore, before such therapy can be fully and routinely implemented, results of the novel treatment and its rationale have to be carefully evaluated. In preoperative treatment, other features will likely gain impor tance. For the first time, clinicians have a chance to follow the in vivo response of the tumor exposed to preoperative chemotherapy. The subsequent histological assessment of the tumor sample may likely become an important prognostic guide, permitting more re fined individual approaches to the planning of postoperative adju vant treatment. The value of such a treatment strategy can already be appreciated in the clinical setting, as seen from the therapy of osteosarcoma. Furthermore, preoperative chemotherapy might render previously inoperable tumors operable and hence resectable with a curative intention. The preoperative reduction of tumor bulk may also effectively decrease the need for more radical operations, permitting a more uniform adoption of conservative surgery.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Comprehensive, enlightening, and terrifyingly timely.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) WINNER OF THE GOLDSMITH BOOK PRIZE • SHORTLISTED FOR THE LIONEL GELBER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Time • Foreign Affairs • WBUR • Paste Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one. Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die—and how ours can be saved. Praise for How Democracies Die “What we desperately need is a sober, dispassionate look at the current state of affairs. Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, two of the most respected scholars in the field of democracy studies, offer just that.”—The Washington Post “Where Levitsky and Ziblatt make their mark is in weaving together political science and historical analysis of both domestic and international democratic crises; in doing so, they expand the conversation beyond Trump and before him, to other countries and to the deep structure of American democracy and politics.”—Ezra Klein, Vox “If you only read one book for the rest of the year, read How Democracies Die. . . .This is not a book for just Democrats or Republicans. It is a book for all Americans. It is nonpartisan. It is fact based. It is deeply rooted in history. . . . The best commentary on our politics, no contest.”—Michael Morrell, former Acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (via Twitter) “A smart and deeply informed book about the ways in which democracy is being undermined in dozens of countries around the world, and in ways that are perfectly legal.”—Fareed Zakaria, CNN

This book was released on 2000-10-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incineration has been used widely for waste disposal, including household, hazardous, and medical wasteâ€"but there is increasing public concern over the benefits of combusting the waste versus the health risk from pollutants emitted during combustion. Waste Incineration and Public Health informs the emerging debate with the most up-to-date information available on incineration, pollution, and human healthâ€"along with expert conclusions and recommendations for further research and improvement of such areas as risk communication. The committee provides details on: Processes involved in incineration and how contaminants are released. Environmental dynamics of contaminants and routes of human exposure. Tools and approaches for assessing possible human health effects. Scientific concerns pertinent to future regulatory actions. The book also examines some of the social, psychological, and economic factors that affect the communities where incineration takes place and addresses the problem of uncertainty and variation in predicting the health effects of incineration processes.
