Background: Targeting modifiable factors offers significant potential for primary cancer prevention. For public health strategies, it is essential to quantify the contribution from each factor on a national level. We estimated the contribution of 12 modifiable factors on cancer incidence in the Norwegian population.

Objective: To examine long-term CRC incidence and mortality after NCS results (ie, no presence of CRC or polyps) and according to a risk score based on major demographic and lifestyle risk factors.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study, 3 prospective US population-based cohorts from the Nurses' Health Study, Nurses' Health Study II, and Health Professionals Follow-up Study were followed up from 1988 and 1991 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the environmental impacts of two organic silvopastoral farms in Austria that produce apples and eggs, comparing them to standard farming practices using a Life Cycle Assessment approach.
- - Two modeling methods were applied to assess impacts on climate change, eutrophication potential, acidification potential, and land occupation, leading to significant variations in results regarding the environmental effects associated with egg and apple production.
- - Overall, the findings indicated that organic practices at the farms had lower environmental impacts per kilogram of product for both apples and eggs, with carbon sequestration significantly mitigating emissions, especially from apple production.
Objectives: To develop and validate a real-time PCR assay detecting the sequence bridging Tn and the chromosome in the emerging vancomycin-resistant (VREfm) clone (ST80/CT2406).
Methods: The Tn insertion site was determined on routinely sequenced VREfm isolates. The outer boundaries of Tn and adjoining host bacterial sequences were determined using a BLAST search in the silent information regulator gene .
Unlabelled: VRC01-class broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) have been isolated from people with HIV-1, but they have not yet been elicited by vaccination. They are extensively somatically mutated and sometimes accumulate CDRL1 deletions. Such indels may allow VRC01-class antibodies to accommodate the glycans expressed on a conserved N276 N-linked glycosylation site in loop D of the gp120 subunit.
