Thermo-economic evaluation of bio-ethanol humidification EvGT cycle

The evaporative gas turbine pilot plant (EvGT) has been in operation at Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden since 1997. This article presents the latest development in the evaporative technology, the evaporation of bio-ethanol in a gas turbine power plant as a means to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Bio-ethanol is produced from a feedstock consisting of corn-stover, and the bio-ethano

Global Mortality From Firearms, 1990-2016

Importance: Understanding global variation in firearm mortality rates could guide prevention policies and interventions.Objective: To estimate mortality due to firearm injury deaths from 1990 to 2016 in 195 countries and territories.Design, Setting, and Participants: This study used deidentified aggregated data including 13 812 location-years of vital registration data to generate estimates of lev

Hospitalizations due to systemic connective tissue diseases: : Secular trends and regional disparities in Sweden, 1998-2016

AIM: To investigate secular trends and regional disparities in hospitalizations due to systemic connective tissue diseases (SCTD) in Sweden from 1998 to 2016.METHOD: We identified all hospital admissions with a principal diagnosis of SCTD (ICD-10 codes: M30-M36) from the Swedish National Patient Register. Joinpoint regression was used to assess secular trends in age-standardized hospitalization ra

Intraocular Pressure Lowering Effect of Latanoprost as First-line Treatment for Glaucoma

Purpose:To assess the intraocular pressure (IOP)-reducing effect of latanoprost in treatment-naïve patients with newly detected open-angle glaucoma with no restriction of the level of untreated IOP.Methods:Eighty-six patients (105 eyes) with a diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma received IOP-lowering therapy with latanoprost.

The main goal of this study refers to the exploration of development pathways of Public and Private Health Expenditure in all of the countries of the European WHO Region. Based on the availability of fully c

High Inequalities Associated With Socioeconomic Deprivation in Cardiovascular Disease Burden and Antihypertensive Medication in Hungary

The wide life expectancy gap between the old and new member states of the European Union is most strongly related to the high rate of premature mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). To learn more about the background of this gap, the relationship of socioeconomic status (SES) with CVD mortality, morbidity and the utilization of antihypertensive drugs was studied in Hungary, a Central

Antibiotic Resistance in Syria : A Local Problem Turns Into a Global Threat

Global, Regional, and National Cancer Incidence, Mortality, Years of Life Lost, Years Lived With Disability, and Disability-Adjusted Life-Years for 29 Cancer Groups, 1990 to 2016 : A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study

Importance: The increasing burden due to cancer and other noncommunicable diseases poses a threat to human development, which has resulted in global political commitments reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan on Non-Communicable Diseases. To determine if these commitments have resulted in improved cancer control, quantitati
