Body mass index and breast cancer survival: a Mendelian randomization analysis.

Background: There is increasing evidence that elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with reduced survival for women with breast cancer. However, the underlying reasons remain unclear. We conducted a Mendelian randomization analysis to investigate a possible causal role of BMI in survival from breast cancer.

Prediction of breast cancer risk based on profiling with common genetic variants.

Background: Data for multiple common susceptibility alleles for breast cancer may be combined to identify women at different levels of breast cancer risk. Such stratification could guide preventive and screening strategies. However, empirical evidence for genetic risk stratification is lacking.

Trauma history and relapse probability among patients seeking substance abuse treatment.

We estimated the prevalence of trauma history and relapse in a sample of 959 patients at two outpatient chemical dependence clinics of a managed healthcare organization. A large majority (89%) reported a history of at least one traumatic event. The most common traumatic events were serious accidents, being robbed, seeing someone killed or seriously injured, and partner violence.
