TL;DR: It is proposed that the chapters on external causes of injury and poisoning, and factors influencing health status and contact with health services, should form an integral part of ICD-10, for the first time in its history based on an alphanumeric coding scheme.

Abstract: The International Classification of Diseases has, under various names, been for many decades the essential tool for national and international comparability in public health. This statistical tool has been customarily revised every 10 years in order to keep up with the advances of medicine. At first intended primarily for the classification of causes of death, its scope has been progressively widening to include coding and tabulation of causes of morbidity as well as medical record indexing and retrieval. The ability to exchange comparable data from region to region and from country to country, to allow comparison from one population to another and to permit study of diseases over long periods, is one of the strengths of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death (ICD). WHO has been responsible for the organization, coordination and execution of activities related to ICD since 1948 (Sixth Revision of the ICD) and is now proceeding with the Tenth Revision. For the first time in its history the ICD will be based on an alphanumeric coding scheme and will have to function as a core classification from which a series of modules can be derived, each reaching a different degree of specificity and adapted to a particular specialty or type of user. It is proposed that the chapters on external causes of injury and poisoning, and factors influencing health status and contact with health services, which were supplementary classifications in ICD-9, should form an integral part of ICD-10. The title of ICD has been amended to "International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems"', but the abbreviation "ICD" will be retained.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Second Primary Cancer in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: Does Radioiodine Play a Role?
Margarida Silva-Vieira,S. Vaz,Susana Esteves,Teresa C. Ferreira,Edward Limbert,Lucília Salgado,Valeriano Leite +6 more
TL;DR: In spite of the low incidence of SPC in WDTC patients, the risk is increased after RAIT, particularly for activities >200 mCi, thus, considering the excellent survival of patients with WDTC, clinicians need to weigh the risks and benefits ofRAIT, especially in patients with low-risk thyroid cancer.

Cancer mortality in 13 to 29-year-olds in England and Wales, 1981-2005
TL;DR: There were significant decreases in mortality over time, the annual percentage change between 1981 and 2005 being minus 1.86 (95% confidence interval −2.09 to −1.62).
The importance of impaired physical health and age in normal cognitive aging
TL;DR: It is suggested that impaired physical health is more important than chronological age in accounting for cognitive impairment across the adult lifespan, that age and health dissociate with regard to cognitive functions affected, and that selection for so-called "super healthy" elderly people might be justified in cognitive research.

The genetic susceptibility to Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome in a large multiple affected british kindred: Linkage analysis excludes a role for the genes coding for dopamine D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 receptors, dopamine beta hydroxylase, tyrosinase, and tyrosine hydroxylase
TL;DR: Polymorphic markers at or near the D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 neuroreceptor gene loci as well as at the genes encoding dopamine beta hydroxylase, tyrosinase and tyrosine hydroxyase exclude a major role of these candidate genes in the etiology of GTS in the pedigree.
