Background: Stroke persists as the second leading global cause of mortality and disability. We analyzed G20 nations using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data (1990-2021) to provide a new perspective.

Methods: We obtained age-standardized rates (ASR) of stroke mortality, incidence, prevalence, and YLLs (years of life lost) across G20 nations.

Background: Physical inactivity is a significant yet underappreciated risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly among older adults. The aim of this study was to analyze the global burden of CVD attributable to physical inactivity in individuals aged 70 years and older from 1990 to 2021 using the Global Burden of Disease data.

Methods: We assessed trends in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and deaths, decomposed changes into population growth, aging, and epidemiological factors, and examined health inequalities across sociodemographic index (SDI) regions.

Plenary speakers serve as role models for early-career scholars, and these talks advance the speakers' careers while celebrating the important scientific contributions of women. Professional conferences are an ideal venue for assessing progress toward equity goals across disciplines. We examined gender disparities among distinguished speakers at North American ecology conferences from 2000 to 2023.

Background: Laryngeal cancer (LC), the second most common head and neck malignancy, with significant global geographical disparities in incidence and mortality, was analyzed using 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data to assess Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) correlations and project disease burden through 2050, aiming to reduce its global impact.

Methods: Using data from the GBD 2021, we investigated the incidence, prevalence, deaths, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) of LC, as well as trends, age-sex-time patterns, driving factors, and projections up to 2050.

Results: In 2021, LC increased with age and decreased after the age of 70.
