Article Abstract
The most destructive and deadly wildfires in US history were also fast. Using satellite data, we analyzed the daily growth rates of more than 60,000 fires from 2001 to 2020 across the contiguous US. Nearly half of the ecoregions experienced destructive fast fires that grew more than 1620 hectares in 1 day. These fires accounted for 78% of structures destroyed and 61% of suppression costs ($18.9 billion). From 2001 to 2020, the average peak daily growth rate for these fires more than doubled (+249% relative to 2001) in the Western US. Nearly 3 million structures were within 4 kilometers of a fast fire during this period across the US. Given recent devastating wildfires, understanding fast fires is crucial for improving firefighting strategies and community preparedness.

Objective: Radical hysterectomy with parametrectomy remains the standard treatment for early-stage cervical cancer but is associated with significant morbidity. Identifying patients at low risk for parametrial invasion is critical to support less invasive surgical strategies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 177 patients with Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage IA-IIB cervical cancer who underwent type III radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy between 2001 and 2020.

There has been limited research on how disparities in cancer mortality may evolve in the future, although relevant socio-economic and regional disparities in cancer risk are well-documented. We studied future trends in breast cancer (BC) and lung cancer (LC) mortality up to 2036 across affluent and deprived communities in nine regions of England, motivated by the distinct socio-economic patterns and burden of these cancer types. We used cancer death registrations from the Office for National Statistics on population and deaths in nine regions of England by underlying cause of death from 2001 to 2018, stratified by sex, 5-year age group, and income deprivation.
