Abstract

As part of a case-control study in northern Alberta, Canada, 577 women aged 30-80 with breast cancer diagnosed during 1976-77 and a population-based age-stratified random sample of 826 disease-free female controls were questioned about certain aspects of their diet. Computing relative risks (RRs) by tertiles, significant increasing trends were found with more frequent consumption of beef (RRs of 1.0, 2.3, 1.5; test for trends, p less than 0.001), pork (RRs of 1.0, 1.6, 2.2; test for trend, p less than 0.001), and sweet desserts (RRs of 1.0, 1.3, 1.5; test for trend, p = 0.01). Elevated risks were also noted for use of butter at the table and for frying with butter or margarine, as opposed to vegetable oils. The association of total beef and pork consumption with breast cancer was not materially affected by controlling for age at first birth, family history of breast cancer, previous benign breast biopsy or socioeconomic status. Nor was the association reduced by controlling for ages of menarche and menopause, even though within the control series the intake of beef and pork reported in adult life was higher among those with a lower age at menarche or a older age at natural menopause.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
