TL;DR: While the elderly and people living alone are particularly vulnerable to heat waves, no segment of the population may be considered protected from the risks associated with heat waves and heat waves must be considered as a threat to European populations living in climates that are currently temperate.

TL;DR: The anesthesia-related mortality rate in France seems to be reduced 10-fold in 1999, and concerns regarding aspiration of gastric contents and anemia associated with postoperative ischemic complications were the associated factors most often encountered.

TL;DR: A striking divergence between incidence and mortality trends is observed for a great number of cancers, and prostate cancer shares with breast cancer the same pattern of a severe increasing incidence and a stable mortality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided updated estimates of national trends in cancer incidence and mortality for France for 1980-2005 for 25 cancer sites and found that the number of new cancer cases in 2005 was approximately 320,000, which corresponds to an 89% increase since 1980.

TL;DR: The divergence of cancer incidence and mortality trends in France over the 1980-2005 period can be explained by the combined effects of a decrease in the incidence of the most aggressive cancers and an increase in the occurrence of less aggressive cancers, partly due to changes in medical practices leading to earlier diagnoses.
