Association between dietary factors and breast cancer risk: a matched case-control study in Vietnam.

Background: The role of diet in breast cancer prevention is controversial and limited in low-middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to investigate the association between different dietary factors and breast cancer risk in Vietnamese women.

Methods: Three hundred seventy newly histologically confirmed breast cancer cases and 370 controls matched by 5-year age from September 2019 to March 2020 in Ho Chi Minh City were recorded dietary intake using a validated food frequency questionnaire.

Image-based Gait Spatiotemporal Parameters Estimation using a Single Camera and CNN-Transformer Hybrid Network.

Vision-based gait analysis can play an important role in the remote and continuous monitoring of the elderly's health conditions. However, most vision-based approaches compute gait spatiotemporal parameters using human pose information and provide average parameters. This study aimed to propose a straightforward method for stride-by-stride gait spatiotemporal parameters estimation.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Qi-Invigorating Effects in Traditional Medicine: Network Pharmacology-Based Study on the Unique Functions of Qi-Invigorating Herb Group.

Qi-invigorating herbs (QIHs) are a group of herbs that invigorate Qi, the most vital force for maintaining the physiological functions of the human body in traditional medicine. However, the mechanism underlying the Qi-invigorating effects remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the unique mechanisms of QIHs based on unique compounds, using a network pharmacology approach.
