TL;DR: Cancer rates associated with modifiable risks—tobacco, HPV, and some preventive screening modalities (e.g., colorectal and cervical cancers)—were higher in rural compared with urban populations, and population-based, clinical, and/or policy strategies and interventions that address these modifiable risk factors could help reduce cancer disparities experienced in rural populations.

TL;DR: Using a second reviewer throughout the entire study screening process can increase the number of relevant studies identified for use in a systematic review.

TL;DR: Antipyretic treatment does not significantly improve 28-day/hospital mortality in adult patients with sepsis, and results included mortality, frequency of shock reversal, acquisition of nosocomial infections, and changes in body temperature, heart rate, and minute ventilation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that SEER increase its geographic coverage to improve their generalizability and to take advantage of their utility to assess disparities along the cancer control continuum, and that non-SEER data sources be utilized more frequently to capitalize on their extensive geographic coverage.

TL;DR: A 2.3 % weight loss over 12 months among overweight/obese women with early-stage breast cancer does not appear to have deleterious effect on bone health, and might even have beneficial effect, and warrant confirmation, particularly among breast cancer survivors with a larger magnitude of weight loss.
