The aim of this study was to develop a risk prediction model for HRAs detected at screening colonoscopy based on readily available participant information. The cohort consisted of 3035 participants aged 50 to 74 years with no history of cancer who underwent a primary screening colonoscopy at a centralized colon cancer screening centre between 2008 and… Continue reading Development and validation of a risk prediction model for high-risk #adenomas at the time of first screening #colonoscopy among screening aged Canadians

VPS39-deficiency observed in type 2 #diabetes impairs #muscle stem cell differentiation via altered autophagy and epigenetics
Insulin resistance and lower muscle quality (strength divided by mass) are hallmarks of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we explore whether alterations in muscle stem cells (myoblasts) from individuals with T2D contribute to these phenotypes. We identify VPS39 as an important regulator of myoblast differentiation and muscle glucose uptake, and VPS39 is downregulated in myoblasts… Continue reading VPS39-deficiency observed in type 2 #diabetes impairs #muscle stem cell differentiation via altered autophagy and epigenetics
Initial Findings From the North American #COVID-19 Myocardial #Infarction Registry
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted many aspects of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care, including timely access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). ObjectivesThe goal of the NACMI (North American COVID-19 and STEMI) registry is to describe demographic characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients with STEMI. MethodsA prospective, ongoing observational… Continue reading Initial Findings From the North American #COVID-19 Myocardial #Infarction Registry
Long-term #dietary patterns are associated with pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory features of the gut #microbiome
The microbiome directly affects the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses in the gut. As microbes thrive on dietary substrates, the question arises whether we can nourish an anti-inflammatory gut ecosystem. We aim to unravel interactions between diet, gut microbiota and their functional ability to induce intestinal inflammation. Design We investigated the relation between 173… Continue reading Long-term #dietary patterns are associated with pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory features of the gut #microbiome
Long-term body mass index changes in #overweight and #obese adults and the risk of heart failure, #cardiovascular disease and mortality: a cohort study of over 260,000 adults in the UK
Although obesity is a well-recognised risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the impact of long-term body mass index (BMI) changes in overweight or obese adults, on the risk of heart failure, CVD and mortality has not been quantified. MethodsThis population-based cohort study used routine UK primary care electronic health data linked to secondary care and… Continue reading Long-term body mass index changes in #overweight and #obese adults and the risk of heart failure, #cardiovascular disease and mortality: a cohort study of over 260,000 adults in the UK
Exploring Posttraumatic #Stress Disorder as a #Cardiovascular Risk Factor in Women VeteransThe Heart of the Matter
The connection between emotional and physical health has long been recognized, with a great deal of research focusing on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The landmark INTERHEART study1 of nearly 30 000 people from 52 countries found that psychosocial factors, including depression and stressful life events, accounted for approximately one-third of the population-attributable risk of… Continue reading Exploring Posttraumatic #Stress Disorder as a #Cardiovascular Risk Factor in Women VeteransThe Heart of the Matter
Association of #sugary drink consumption with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study
Highlights•We assessed the association between sugary drinks and mortality in Japan. •Sugary drink consumption was positively associated with all-cause mortality. •Sugary drinks increased risk of death from circulatory system diseases. AbstractBackgroundFew epidemiologic studies have assessed the associations of sugary drink consumption with mortality outcomes among Asian populations. MethodsThis study included 70,486 participants in the Japan… Continue reading Association of #sugary drink consumption with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study
#Neuroticism and Risk of #Parkinson’s Disease: A Meta‐Analysis
Neuroticism is linked to mood disorders and Alzheimer's disease, but fewer studies have tested the prospective association with Parkinson's disease (PD). ObjectivesTo examine the association between neuroticism and risk of PD in a large cohort and a meta‐analysis of prospective cohort studies. MethodsParticipants from the UK Biobank (N = 490,755) completed a neuroticism scale in… Continue reading #Neuroticism and Risk of #Parkinson’s Disease: A Meta‐Analysis
Dose-response association between #adiposity and #liver cancer incidence: a prospective cohort study among non-smoking and non-alcohol drinking Chinese women
Background: Based on a population with very low prevalence of smoking and alcohol drinking, we examined the associations between overall obesity and fat distribution in middle age, obesity in early adulthood, and adult weight gain with the risk of liver cancer incidence. Methods: The associations between body mass index (BMI) at study enrollment and at… Continue reading Dose-response association between #adiposity and #liver cancer incidence: a prospective cohort study among non-smoking and non-alcohol drinking Chinese women
