This study investigated the potential association between uranium exposure and mortality from cerebrovascular diseases, with a focus on the mediating effects of lipid indicators. Employing recommended sampling weights to account for National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey' complex survey design, this analysis drew from data collected between 2005 and 2016. The study examined the impact of uranium on mortality from cerebrovascular diseases using various statistical approaches, including Cox regression to assess linear relationships within metal mixtures.

- - Previous studies have suggested a connection between metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and various diseases, but research specifically linking MAFLD to gastric carcinoma (GC) and esophageal carcinoma (EC) is limited and outdated.
- - The study involved a systematic review of eight studies with over 8.6 million participants, using multiple databases and statistical analysis to assess risks of GC and EC in people with MAFLD.
- - The findings indicate a significant risk increase for GC (RR 1.49) and EC (RR 1.76) in patients with MAFLD, highlighting the importance of this association for clinical awareness.
A growing body of evidence suggests that bariatric surgery is associated with a reduced risk of some cancers. This meta-analysis aims to determine whether bariatric surgery affects pancreatic cancer risk. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases.
