Impact of #mRNA and Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccines on #Ovarian Reserve

Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the effects of messenger RNA (mRNA) and inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines on ovarian histology and reserve in rats. Methods: Thirty female Wistar albino rats, aged 16–24 weeks, were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): control, mRNA vaccine, and inactivated vaccine groups. Each vaccine group received… Continue reading Impact of #mRNA and Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccines on #Ovarian Reserve

Premenopausal bilateral #oophorectomy and #brain white matter brain integrity in later-life

INTRODUCTIONPremenopausal bilateral oophorectomy (PBO) is associated with later-life cognition, but the underlying brain changes remain unclear. We assessed the impact of PBO and PBO age on white matter integrity.METHODSFemale participants with regional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics of fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) were included (22 with PBO < 40 years; 43 with PBO 40-45… Continue reading Premenopausal bilateral #oophorectomy and #brain white matter brain integrity in later-life

Ultra-processed food consumption, cancer risk and cancer mortality: a large-scale prospective analysis within the UK Biobank

Global dietary patterns are increasingly dominated by relatively cheap, highly palatable, and ready-to-eat ultra-processed foods (UPFs). However, prospective evidence is limited on cancer development and mortality in relation to UPF consumption. This study examines associations between UPF consumption and risk of cancer and associated mortality for 34 site-specific cancers in a large cohort of British… Continue reading Ultra-processed food consumption, cancer risk and cancer mortality: a large-scale prospective analysis within the UK Biobank

Ovarian cancer cell fate regulation by the dynamics between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

SignificanceUnsaturated fatty acids are critical for maintaining membrane fluidity, cellular signaling, and lipid storage. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) regulates the dynamics between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. How SCD is involved in cancer cell fate decisions remains incompletely understood. Here, we leveraged transcriptomics, lipidomics, and single-cell stimulated Raman scattering microscopy to show that increased levels of… Continue reading Ovarian cancer cell fate regulation by the dynamics between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

Prospective Analyses of Sedentary Behavior in Relation to Risk of Ovarian Cancer

To examine the association of sedentary behavior with risk of ovarian cancer overall, by tumor subtype, and by participant characteristics in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and NHSII. A total of 69,558 NHS (1992-2016) and 104,130 NHSII (1991-2015) participants were included in analysis who reported sitting time at home, work, and watching television, which included… Continue reading Prospective Analyses of Sedentary Behavior in Relation to Risk of Ovarian Cancer

Risk‐adapted starting age of #breast cancer screening in women with a family history of #ovarian or other cancers: A nationwide cohort study

There is a lack of evidence‐based recommendations for the age at which women with a family history of cancers other than breast cancer should start breast cancer screening. METHODS Using Swedish family cancer data sets, the authors conducted a nationwide cohort study including 5,099,172 Swedish women born after 1931 (follow‐up, 1958‐2015). Accounting for calendar time,… Continue reading Risk‐adapted starting age of #breast cancer screening in women with a family history of #ovarian or other cancers: A nationwide cohort study

#Ovarian cancer risk in relation to blood #lipid levels and hyperlipidemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational epidemiologic studies

Epidemiologic evidence regarding association of ovarian cancer risk with blood lipid level and hyperlipidemia is inconsistent. We aimed to synthesize available epidemiologic studies to disentangle associations of cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and hyperlipidemia with ovarian cancer risk. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science for eligible studies. A… Continue reading #Ovarian cancer risk in relation to blood #lipid levels and hyperlipidemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational epidemiologic studies

Dietary Intake of #Acrylamide and Risk of Breast, Endometrial, and Ovarian Cancers: A Systematic Review and Dose–Response Meta-analysis

Acrylamide is a probable human carcinogen. Aside from occupational exposures and smoking, diet is the main source of exposure in humans. We performed a systematic review of the association between estimated dietary intake of acrylamide and risk of female breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers in nonexperimental studies published through February 25, 2020, and conducted a… Continue reading Dietary Intake of #Acrylamide and Risk of Breast, Endometrial, and Ovarian Cancers: A Systematic Review and Dose–Response Meta-analysis
