Continuing declines in cancer mortality in the European Union

BACKGROUND: From 1988 to 1997 age-standardised total cancer mortality rates in the European Union (EU) fell by around 9% in both sexes. Available cancer mortality data in Europe up to 2002 allow a first check of the forecast of further declines in cancer mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We considered trends in age-standardised mortality from major cancer sites in the EU during the period 1980-2002. RESULTS: For men, total cancer mortality, after a peak of 191.1/100,000 in 1987 declined to 177.8 in 1997 (-7%), and to 166.5 in 2002. Corresponding figures for females were 107.9/100,000, 100.5 and 95.2, corresponding to falls of 7% from 1987 to 1997, and to 5% from 1997 to 2002. Over the last 5 years, lung cancer declined by 1.9% per year in men, to reach 44.4/100,000, but increased by 1.7% in women, to reach 11.4. In 2002, for the first year, lung cancer mortality in women was higher than that for intestinal cancer (11.1/100,000), and lung cancer became the second site of cancer deaths in women after breast (17.9/100,000). From 1997 to 2002, appreciable declines were observed in mortality from intestinal cancer in men (-1.6% per year, to reach 18.8/100,000), and in women (-2.5%), as well as for breast (-1.7% per year) and prostate cancer (-1.4%). CONCLUSIONS: Despite the persisting rises in female lung cancer, the recent trends in cancer mortality in the EU are encouraging and indicate that an 11% reduction in total cancer mortality from 2000 to 2015 is realistic and possible.

Música, sociedad y mestizaje a través del sonido del fagot

La sociedad, la música y la cultura son elementos que van relacionados desde la Antigüedad. Hoy en día, los medios de comunicación han abierto las fronteras de lo que hasta hace pocas décadas eran barreras geográficamente impenetrables. El siglo XXI comienza como un siglo en el que la hibridación cultural es un hecho, la música está cada vez más construida desde la mezcla de elementos. Los músicos que actualmente se están formando lo hacen absorbiendo elementos de músicas y culturas que fueron muy distintas hace tiempo y hoy no lo son más. El acceso a Internet, la relación entre los propios individuos conviviendo con gente de otros países nos presenta un panorama, en lo musical, de apertura como nunca antes se había visto hasta ahora. Hoy por hoy cualquier músico, con cualquier instrumento puede verse, de un modo natural, interpretando músicas que rompen de algún modo con el hilo conductor que la historia de esos instrumentos ha llevado hasta el presente.
