Household food security and breast-feeding duration among Canadian Inuit.

Objective: There have been few studies investigating the association between food security and breast-feeding duration and none have been conducted among Canadian Inuit, a population disproportionately burdened with food insecurity. We evaluated the association between household food security and breast-feeding duration in Canadian Inuit children.

Design: Data were obtained from the Nunavut Inuit Child Health Survey, a population-based cross-sectional survey.

Effects of non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the aggressiveness of prostate cancer.

Background: Inflammatory mediators have a role in the initiation and progression of prostate cancer. Observed anti-cancer effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have consisted largely of those that inhibit inflammatory mechanisms thought to promote an aggressive disease phenotype. Epidemiologic studies have supported a chemopreventive effect but there is little research on a possible protective role against prostate cancer aggressiveness and progression to advanced disease.
