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

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
Association between vitamin D status and risk of covid-19 in-hospital mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Some earlier studies reported higher risk of COVID-19 mortality in patients with vitamin D deficiency, while some others failed to find such as association. Due to inconsistences between earlier meta-analyses and needs for an updated study, we conducted current systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between vitamin D status and risk of COVID-19 in-hospital… Continue reading Association between vitamin D status and risk of covid-19 in-hospital mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Non-linear Mendelian randomization analyses support a role for vitamin D deficiency in cardiovascular disease risk
Low vitamin D status is associated with a higher risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Although most existing linear Mendelian randomization (MR) studies reported a null effect of vitamin D on CVD risk, a non-linear effect cannot be excluded. Our aim was to apply the non-linear MR design to investigate the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D… Continue reading Non-linear Mendelian randomization analyses support a role for vitamin D deficiency in cardiovascular disease risk

Alcohol consumption and risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death: An observational study of 408,712 individuals
Although previous studies have demonstrated a U-shaped relationship between alcohol and sudden cardiac death (SCD), there is a paucity of evidence on the role of alcohol specifically on incident ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to characterize associations of total and beverage-specific alcohol consumption with incident VA and SCD using data from… Continue reading Alcohol consumption and risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death: An observational study of 408,712 individuals
Intermittent fasting: is there a role in the treatment of diabetes? A review of the literature and guide for primary care physicians
Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia that causes numerous complications with significant long-term morbidity and mortality. The disorder is primarily due to insulin resistance particularly in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. In this review, we detail the hormonal mechanisms leading to the development of diabetes and discuss whether intermittent fasting… Continue reading Intermittent fasting: is there a role in the treatment of diabetes?
