- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: The epidemiology of common cancers in Kerman province, southeast of Iran, was assessed based
upon results of the Kerman Population-Based Cancer Registry Program (KPBCR). Methods: in this retrospective study,
all patients diagnosed with primary cancers and registered with the KPBCR were included. New cancer cases registered
from 2014 were identified from pathological labs, medical reports of 48 health facilities providing cancer diagnosis or
treatment services and the national death registry program. Data for patients who were referred to neighboring provinces
to access health services were also collected from national referral registries. Results from autopsies was additionally
extracted from regional forensic and legal medicine centers and added to the registry periodically. Age standardized
incidence rates (ASRs) per 100,000 person-years for all cancers were computed, using direct-standardization and CanReg
methodology. Mortality to incidence (M:I) ratios and microscopically verified (MV) proportions were calculated as
quality measures. Results: A total of 2,838 cases of cancer were registered in Kerman province, 2014. Of these 45. 6%
involved women (n=1,293). Individuals aged 60-64 years represented the largest proportion (11.6%) of the total cancer
prevalence, followed by those aged 55-59 years (10.86%) and 65-69 years (8.99%). The ASRs for all cancers were
155.1 and 118.90 per 100,000, in men and women, respectively. In women, breast (ASR: 26.4), skin (ASR: 13.0),
thyroid (ASR: 9.2), leukemia (ASR: 8.0) and colorectal (ASR: 7.70) were the most common cancers. In men, bladder
(ASR: 24.70), skin (ASR: 16.80), lung (ASR: 14.6), leukemia (ASR: 14.50), and stomach (ASR: 10.8) were found to
be the most frequent. Conclusion: This study provided latest evidence on epidemiology of cancer in the southeast of
Iran that could be used to empower prevention and control interventions in a developing country.- انتشار مقاله: 14-06-1396

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Osteoporosis and osteopenia are the most common metabolic bone diseases making the patients vulnerable to bone fragility and fracture. In this study, the association of opium consumption and osteoporosis adjusted for other risk factors was studied.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 619 cases including 73 men and 546 women referred to densitometry center in Kerman, Iran, were studied. Demographic information, history of opium consumption, medications, and other risk factors were collected using a structured questionnaire.Findings: In a univariate analysis, opium consumption, aging, and having a body mass index (BMI) lower than 24 accompanied an increased chance of osteoporosis, while taking physical exercises on a daily basis reduces the chance of osteoporosis. Through multivariable analysis, the two variables of age group and BMI group turned out to be of significance; that is, the chance of osteoporosis or osteopenia in the age group of higher than 60 years and 45-60 years being placed in one of the levels of osteoporosis or osteopenia was 4.9 and 3.1 times higher than the age groups lower than 45 years, respectively, after being adjusted to the other variables.Conclusion: Considering the results of this study, though the risk of bone density reduction in the individuals consuming opium was higher, due to the disparity between opium consumption in the two sexes, the difference was not significant between the two groups, and it is proposed that studies on larger samples and in the both sexes be conducted to determine the impacts of opium on the bone density.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Abstract Backgrond: Drug abuse, especially opium abuse, is a major public health problem in Iran. Recent reports suggest that opium sellers cheat their customers by adding lead to the opium. Contaminated opium can threaten the health of consumers. The present study aimed to compare the serum level of lead between opium dependents and a control group. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which 50 opium dependents aged 20 to 60 years old were compared with a control group of 43 non-dependents who were matched with the case group in terms of sex and age. The serum level of lead and liver function tests including serum total bilirubin, AST, ALT, Alkaline-phosphatase and hemoglobin were measured for all subjects. Findings: The mean level of serum lead concentration in opium dependents and controls was 3929.358 ± 147.67 and 3532.721 ± 1141.53, respectively and the difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant correlation between serum level of lead and age, duration of opium dependency, serum total bilirubin, hemoglobin, AST, ALT, and Alkaline-phosphate. Conclusion: Although there was no significant relationship between opium consumption and serum level of lead, the concentration of lead in dependents' serum was higher than controls. Further studies are needed to approve this relationship to be used for screening and on time diagnosis of opium dependents. Keywords: Opium, Addiction, Lead poisoning, Serum level.
