Colorectal cancer screening in countries of European Council outside of the EU-28.
CONCLUSION: Cancer screening should be viewed as a key health care tool, also because investing in screening protects the weakest in the population, decreases the social burden of cancer, and reduces all types of health care costs, including those for radical surgery, long-term hospitalisation, and chemotherapy.

Where do people live longer and shorter lives? An ecological study of old-age survival across 4404 small areas from 18 European countries
Conclusions
Clear and persistent spatial inequalities in old-age survival exist, suggesting that European social unity is still to be accomplished. These inequalities could arise from a myriad of population health determinants (eg, poverty, unhealthy lifestyles), which merit further study. (Source: Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health)

Reproducibility of the Structural Connectome Reconstruction across Diffusion Methods
In conclusion, we found that HARDI acquisition showed the most balanced trade‐off between high reproducibility of the connectome, higher rate of path detection and of fanning fibers, and intermediate acquisition times (10‐15 minutes), although at the cost of higher appearance of aberrant fibers.
