BackgroundDietary nutrient intake plays a significant role in carcinogenesis. Few studies have investigated the association between dietary nutrient intake and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) risk in China. MethodsData on 2304 women from an ongoing cohort comprising 40,000 women from China in 2014 were included. Study randomly selected 218 out of 2304 people as subjects during… Continue reading Dietary nutrient intake related to higher grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia risk: a Chinese population-based study

Paracetamol in the home treatment of early COVID-19 symptoms: A possible foe rather than a friend for elderly patients?
On October 2020, Sestili and Fimognari reported that acetaminophen (N-aetyl-para-aminophenol), commonly known as paracetamol, induces or worsens glutathione (GSH) consumption in elderly patients affected by early or mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), thus greatly enhancing the risk of COVID-19 exacerbation in these patients.1 By early COVID-19, we mean the typical or commonly acknowledged symptomatology associated… Continue reading Paracetamol in the home treatment of early COVID-19 symptoms: A possible foe rather than a friend for elderly patients?
‘The Corpse Bride Diet’: How TikTok Inundates Teens With Eating-Disorder Videos
The app’s algorithm can send users down rabbit holes of narrow interest, resulting in potentially dangerous content such as emaciated images, purging techniques, hazardous diets and body shamingBy Tawnell D. Hobbs, Rob Barry and Yoree KohDec. 17, 2021 10:45 am ET TikTok is flooding teen users with videos of rapid-weight-loss competitions and ways to purge… Continue reading ‘The Corpse Bride Diet’: How TikTok Inundates Teens With Eating-Disorder Videos
Neurophysiological and Brain Structural Markers of Cognitive Frailty Differ from Alzheimer’s Disease
With increasing life span and prevalence of dementia, it is important to understand the mechanisms of cognitive aging. Here, we focus on a subgroup of the population we term “cognitively frail,” defined by reduced cognitive function in the absence of subjective memory complaints, or a clinical diagnosis of dementia. Cognitive frailty is distinct from cognitive… Continue reading Neurophysiological and Brain Structural Markers of Cognitive Frailty Differ from Alzheimer’s Disease
Association of Daily Sitting Time and Leisure-Time Physical Activity With Survival Among US Cancer Survivors
Objective To examine the independent and joint associations of daily sitting time and leisure-time physical activity with mortality outcomes among cancer survivors. Design, Setting, and Participants A prospective cohort of a nationally representative sample of cancer survivors, age 40 years or older (n = 1535; weighted population, 14 002 666), from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey… Continue reading Association of Daily Sitting Time and Leisure-Time Physical Activity With Survival Among US Cancer Survivors
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher risks for SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 severity: a retrospective case–control study
Robust evidence of whether vitamin D deficiency is associated with COVID-19 infection and its severity is still lacking. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between vitamin D levels and the risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe disease in those infected. A retrospective study was carried out among members of Clalit Health… Continue reading Vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher risks for SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 severity: a retrospective case–control study
COVID-19 trends and severity among symptomatic children aged 0-17 years in ten EU countries, 3 August 2020 – 3 October 2021
To guide evidence-based prevention of COVID-19 in children, we estimated risks of severe outcomes in 820,404 symptomatic paediatric cases reported by 10 EU Member States between August 2020 and October 2021. Case and hospitalisation rates rose as overall transmission increased but severe outcomes were rare: 9,611 (1.2%) were hospitalised, 640 (0.08%) required intensive care and… Continue reading COVID-19 trends and severity among symptomatic children aged 0-17 years in ten EU countries, 3 August 2020 – 3 October 2021
Exercise-induced piezoelectric stimulation for cartilage regeneration in rabbits
Osteoarthritis is a common condition, but curative therapies are limited. Here, Liu and colleagues developed a biodegradable scaffold using PLLA [poly(L-lactic acid)] nanofibers that when placed under applied force generated a piezoelectric charge, leading to improved chondrogenesis in vitro. Rabbits with osteochondral defects in the medial femoral condyle that were treated with the PLLA scaffold… Continue reading Exercise-induced piezoelectric stimulation for cartilage regeneration in rabbits
Estimation of the global prevalence of dementia in 2019 and forecasted prevalence in 2050: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
SummaryBackgroundGiven the projected trends in population ageing and population growth, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase. In addition, strong evidence has emerged supporting the importance of potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia. Characterising the distribution and magnitude of anticipated growth is crucial for public health planning and resource prioritisation. This study… Continue reading Estimation of the global prevalence of dementia in 2019 and forecasted prevalence in 2050: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
