Purpose: Men on active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer are extremely interested in dietary changes or supplements to prevent progression of their disease. We sought to determine whether a high omega-3, low omega-6 fatty acid diet with fish oil capsules (D + FO) decreases proliferation (Ki-67) in prostate biopsies in men with prostate cancer on AS over a 1-year time period.
Methods: In this phase II, prospective randomized trial, men (N = 100) with grade group 1 or 2 prostate cancer who elected AS were randomly assigned to the D + FO or a control group.
Article Synopsis
- The text reviews current research on the use of antenatal corticosteroids in pregnancies complicated by diabetes, focusing on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
- A systematic search identified 19 studies, but results varied widely due to differences in clinical settings and types of corticosteroids used.
- The review concluded that there is no strong evidence supporting the benefit of corticosteroids for improving neonatal respiratory outcomes in these pregnancies, with mixed results on neonatal hypoglycemia.
Introduction: The relationship between food insecurity and access to healthcare in low-resource settings remains unclear. Some studies find that food insecurity is a barrier to accessing care, while others report that food insecurity is associated with a greater need for care, leading to more care utilisation. We use data from the Harambee study in western Kenya to assess the association between food insecurity and difficulty accessing care among people living with HIV (PLWH) with or without comorbid non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
