Global, regional, and national burden of interstitial lung diseases and pulmonary sarcoidosis from 2000 to 2021: a systematic analysis of incidence, mortality, and disability-adjus... by Mi Zhou, Yazhe Zhou, Xin Yang, Kaizhuo Zhou, Xin Zhu

“…Temporal trends were evaluated using Joinpoint regression analysis, and the relationship between disease burden and the sociodemographic index (SDI) was explored by stratifying the data into five SDI categories. Age-standardized rates were calculated to adjust for differences in population structure, and data visualization was performed using R software.ResultsBetween 2000 and 2021, the global burden of ILDs and pulmonary sarcoidosis increased, as reflected by rising age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), mortality rates (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years rates (ASDR). …”

Site‐Specific Impacts of Urbanisation on Annual Survival of a Forest Bird by Boglárka Bukor, Brett K. Sandercock, Karl L. Evans, Ivett Pipoly, Krisztina Sándor, András Liker, Gábor Seress

“…Survival probabilities decreased with bird age at both urban sites in most years, but such patterns were not detected at forest sites. Our results demonstrate that the impacts of aging on avian survival rates can diverge between urban and forest habitats, and that the demographic factors regulating urban populations can vary between locations. …”
