- - The study investigates how genetic variants affect the relationship between heavy alcohol consumption and the risk of pancreatic cancer, utilizing data from a sizable European ancestry population.
- - Researchers identified a new relevant genomic region (10p11.22) linked to pancreatic cancer risk and a specific SNP (rs7898449) that suggests this association is influenced by heavy alcohol consumption.
- - The findings highlight the potential role of the neuropilin 1 gene in pancreatic cancer development, offering new insights into cancer risk factors, especially among heavy drinkers.

Methods: To characterize disability associated with long COVID, we analyzed baseline data from an online, US-based cohort study. Adult participants included those reporting a history of COVID-19 (n = 8874) or never having COVID-19 (n = 633) without prior disability.
Background: Cryptosporidium spp. are responsible for significant diarrheal morbidity and mortality in under-5 children. There is no vaccine; thus, a focus on prevention is paramount.

Objective: To characterize physical and mental disability associated with long-COVID.
Design: Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a cohort study.
Background: are responsible for significant diarrheal morbidity and mortality in under-five children. There is no vaccine, thus a focus on prevention is paramount. Prior studies suggest that person-to-person spread may be an important pathway for transmission to young children.
