Lung cancer mortality rates by country

Age-Standardized Rate (ASR) is a summary measure of the rates observed when a population has a standard age structure. The most commonly used standard population is the World (W) standard population. The calculated incidence or mortality rate is called the age-standardized incidence or mortality rate (W) and is expressed per 100,000 person-years.

Tracheal, bronchial and pulmonary mortality in 2022, according to the World Health Organization. Countries are ranked from highest to lowest mortality rate [2] :

用粟粉醃肉有乜科學根據?揭開中菜「滑肉」嘅秘密

前言:點解中餐炒肉咁滑? 好多香港人炒肉嘅時候都會發現,餐廳啲雞絲牛柳炒出嚟特別滑溜、唔鞋口。呢個秘密,唔喺高級食材,而係一個平凡但強大嘅材料——粟粉(Cornstarch)。 呢種技巧叫做**「走油前醃」或「滑油醃肉法」(Velveting)**,係中餐獨有技術之一,主要靠粟粉、蛋白、調味料...
咩係三價鐵(Fe³⁺)同二價鐵(Fe²⁺)?

咩係三價鐵(Fe³⁺)同二價鐵(Fe²⁺)?

當我哋講「鐵質」時,唔止係話有冇攝取足夠,而係講緊鐵喺人體內唔同形態(尤其係三價鐵 Fe³⁺ 同二價鐵 Fe²⁺)點樣被吸收、轉化、運輸同儲存,呢啲都深深影響生物可利用率

全面解構低鐵原因、病理機制及影響

全面解構低鐵原因、病理機制及影響

低鐵唔止係營養問題,仲可能係身體慢性警號

鐵質(iron)係人體不可或缺嘅微量元素,主要負責攜帶氧氣嘅血紅素(hemoglobin)製造、能量代謝、免疫調節等。當鐵質長期攝取不足、吸收差、或失去過多,就會導致「低鐵」(iron deficiency)甚至發展成「缺鐵性貧血」(iron deficiency anemia)。本文將從臨床醫學與分子生理角度,深入探討低鐵嘅成因、病理機制、生物轉化過程,以及其對人體造成嘅連鎖影響。

夢遺係唔係一定關性事?

夢遺係唔係一定關性事?

夢遺,即係在無意識之下於睡眠中射精,係一種常見於青春期男生甚至成年男性身上的自然生理現象。夢遺唔等於一定發生性夢,也唔等於有性慾過強。它與睡眠週期中快速動眼期(REM sleep)嘅勃起模式有關,亦可能反映正常的荷爾蒙波動及精液排出節律。 咩係夢遺? 夢遺(nocturnal emission...
唔凍都會打冷震?

唔凍都會打冷震?

打冷震(shivering)唔一定因為天氣凍,喺情緒波動、發燒初期、焦慮、緊張等情況下都可以出現。打冷震係一種由大腦下視丘控制嘅「非意識性肌肉收縮」,目的係維持或調節核心體溫或應對突發壓力。了解打冷震背後嘅神經與體溫調節原理,可以幫我哋區分「正常生理反應」同「潛在疾病警號」。 打冷震係乜回事...
一緊張就流手汗?

一緊張就流手汗?

手掌汗腺主要受交感神經系統控制。當人面對壓力、驚訝、社交場合等刺激時,大腦會啟動「戰鬥或逃跑反應」,促使手掌、腳底等部位產生明顯出汗。這種情況屬於精神性出汗,與溫度無直接關係,係身體對外在壓力的自然反應。

起身「眼前一黑」係咩事?

起身「眼前一黑」係咩事?

當你由坐或瞓姿突然企起,血液未能即時供應足夠氧氣到腦部,形成姿勢性低血壓(orthostatic hypotension),導致短暫性視野模糊、頭暈甚至站立不穩。青少年、長者、飲水不足或患有自律神經功能障礙人士較常出現。

瞓覺點解會流口水?

瞓覺點解會流口水?

唾液分泌受副交感神經控制,當身體進入深層睡眠並肌肉放鬆時,容易出現流口水現象,尤其側睡或口微開者更明顯。
