Background: Numerous prospective cohort studies have investigated the influence of dietary patterns on the risks of various cancers, although the findings differed.
Objectives: To evaluate the associations of dietary patterns with risks of various cancers and assess the strength and validity of the evidence.
Methods: Relevant articles were retrieved from the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases from inception to February 22, 2024.
Background: Numerous meta-analyses have explored the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and diverse health outcomes, yet the comprehensive assessment of the scope, validity, and quality of this evidence remains incomplete. Our aim was to systematically review and synthesise existing meta-analyses of TyG index and health outcomes and to assess the quality of the evidence.
Methods: A thorough search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases was conducted from their inception through to 8 April 2024.
(1) Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) and Parkinson's disease (PD) represent a huge public health burden. The relationship of these two diseases is suggested in the literature while not fully understood. To better understand this relationship, we conducted a bidirectional Mendelian ran-domization analysis using genetic markers as a proxy.

The oxidative balance score (OBS) incorporates diet-lifestyle factors to estimate individuals' anti-oxidant exposure status which may be relevant to cancer prognosis.

Self-similarity is valuable to the exploration of non-local textures in single image super-resolution (SISR). Researchers usually assume that the importance of non-local textures is positively related to their similarity scores. In this paper, we surprisingly found that when repairing severely damaged query textures, some non-local textures with low-similarity which are closer to the target can provide more accurate and richer details than the high-similarity ones.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic inflammatory dermatosis with relapsing eruptions. Our study used bioinformatics to find novel candidate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and predicted miRNAs between AD patients and healthy controls. The Mesh term "atopic dermatitis" was retrieved to obtain DEGs in GEO datasets.

Herein, we aimed to first evaluate this topic in a prospective cohort study in China. : The present study included participants from the Ovarian Cancer Follow-Up Study, which was a hospital-based prospective cohort study including OC patients who were aged 18 to 79 years during 2015-2020.

Objective: We firstly explore the relationship between dietary copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and copper-to-zinc (Cu/Zn) ratio and severity of OC.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 701 women from the OC follow-up study between 2015 and 2020.
Background: Epidemiological studies have provided inconsistent evidence of the association between parity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk. We conducted this first systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively and precisely quantify this topic.
Methods: Comprehensive searches of PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science databases were conducted to identify observational studies of the association between parity and MetS risk up to 30 January 2022.

Fusing low dynamic range (LDR) for high dynamic range (HDR) images has gained a lot of attention, especially to achieve real-world application significance when the hardware resources are limited to capture images with different exposure times. However, existing HDR image generation by picking the best parts from each LDR image often yields unsatisfactory results due to either the lack of input images or well-exposed contents. To overcome this limitation, we model the HDR image generation process in two-exposure fusion as a deep reinforcement learning problem and learn an online compensating representation to fuse with LDR inputs for HDR image generation.

In this study, we developed a simple, atraumatic, and economic therapeutic measure to treat vertical food impaction. The scientific rationale of our therapeutic technique is to restore an intact and firm proximal contact with proper location and form relationships to prevent forceful interproximal wedging of food, which in turn protects interdental papilla.

First, a micro/nanoporous enamel surface was obtained by 37% phosphoric acid etching. The surface was then functionalized by hydrophobic low-surface energy heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetra- hydrodecyltrichlorosilane.
