Electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROs) as tools for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with gynecologic and breast cancers: a systematic review.

Objectives: To provide a comprehensive review of the use of electronic patient-reported outcomes measures (ePROs) as digital health tools to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify studies that used ePROs to evaluate HRQoL in women diagnosed with breast and gynecological cancers. The review followed the 2020 update of the PRISMA guidelines and a pre-registered protocol in PROSPERO (CRD42024516737).

Dietary and Smoking Acrylamide and Prostate Cancer Risk: CAPLIFE Study.

Acrylamide is a probable carcinogen. Its main sources are the diet and tobacco. The association between acrylamide intake from the diet and tobacco and prostate cancer (PCa) has not been previously evaluated.

Persistent organic pollutant exposure as a risk factor of gestational diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Findings related to the association between persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are inconclusive.

Objectives: To estimate the strength of the association between POP exposure and GDM in a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Search Strategy: MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science were searched until July 2023.

Replacement of watching television with physical activity and the change in gestational diabetes mellitus risk: A case-control study.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of replacing 1 h/week of watching television with 1 h/week of light to moderate (LMPA) or vigorous physical activity (VPA) before and during pregnancy on the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: A case-control study was conducted in pregnant women. Physical activity and television watching before and during pregnancy were assessed using the Paffenbarger Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Serum copper levels and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Despite the fact that several studies have investigated the association between serum copper levels (S-Cu) and the risk of cardiovascular diseases, this relationship remains unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the association between S-Cu and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including total stroke, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality, and identify potential sources of results heterogeneity.

Methods: We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Demographic and Socioeconomic Factors Associated to Fruits and Vegetables Consumption in Elderly Europeans: A Systematic Review.

Several epidemiological studies stress the association between a diet based on high fruits and vegetables intake and a better health condition. However, elderly Europeans cannot manage the recommended fruits and vegetables consumption. This systematic review aims to explore the main factors related to fruits and vegetables consumption in elderly Europeans.

Preventing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus by Improving Healthy Diet and/or Physical Activity during Pregnancy: An Umbrella Review.

Several epidemiological studies have analyzed the effects of lifestyle modification on reducing the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, their results remain inconsistent. This umbrella review aims to evaluate the effects of diet and/or physical activity interventions during pregnancy on preventing GDM. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials reporting preventive effects of diet and/or physical activity in reducing the incidence of GDM were included from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane library.
