Obesity is a major health problem which heightens the risk of several chronic illnesses including cancer development particularly colon cancer. The underlying pathophysiology of obesity associated colon cancer remains to be elucidated. The purpose of this current study was to determine fatty acid synthase (FASN) activity/expression, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) level and redox status under the context of anthropometric measurements and lipid profile to find their potential role as interacting biomarkers relating obesity to colon cancer initiation and progression via nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares two techniques for repairing paraumbilical hernias: preperitoneal mesh placement and preaponeurotic mesh placement.
  • During the trial, 60 patients were divided into two groups, with significant findings showing that the preperitoneal method resulted in less postoperative pain and a quicker return to daily activities.
  • The conclusion highlights that preperitoneal mesh placement is superior due to fewer complications, less discomfort, and faster recovery.

Background: Overweight and obesity are recognized as major drivers of cancers including breast cancer. Several cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10 and lipocalin 2 (LCN2), as well as dysregulated cell cycle proteins are implicated in breast carcinogenesis. The nuclear, casein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase substrate-1 (NUCKS-1), is a nuclear DNA-binding protein that has been implicated in several human cancers, including breast cancer.

Background: Incisional hernia is one of the most common late complications of open bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of preperitoneal prosthetic enforcement of midline incisions during open bariatric surgery in preventing incisional hernia development.

Methods: This study randomized 64 morbidly obese patients admitted to undergo open bariatric surgery into two equal groups (I and II).
