The potential impact of one-carbon metabolism (OCM)-related B vitamins (vitamin B, B, B, and folate) on colorectal cancer survival warrants investigation but research is sparse. This cohort study examined the association between the prediagnostic dietary intakes of OCM-related B vitamins and colorectal cancer survival. A total of 2799 colorectal cancer patients from the Guangdong Colorectal Cancer Cohort, enrolled at baseline in 2010, were followed for mortality outcomes through 2023.

Aim: In February 2024, the Aotearoa New Zealand Government repealed legislation to mandate very low nicotine cigarettes (VLNCs), greatly reduce the number of tobacco retailers and disallow sale of tobacco products to people born after 2008 (smokefree generation). We investigated acceptability and likely impacts of these measures among people who smoke or who recently (≤2 years) quit smoking.

Method: We analysed data from 1,230 participants from Wave 3 (conducted in late 2020 and early 2021) and 615 participants from Wave 3.

Comparison of Temporal Artery and Rectal Temperature Measurement During Cooling and Rewarming in Neonates Treated for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy.

Author Affiliations: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, WA (Mrs LaBella, Ms Kelly, Mrs Carlin, and Dr Walsh); and Seattle Children's Research Institute, Seattle, WA (Mrs Carlin and Dr Walsh).

Background: Finding an accurate and simple method of thermometry in the neonatal intensive care unit is important. The temporal artery thermometer (TAT) has been recommended for all ages by the manufacturer; however, there is insufficient evidence for the use of TAT in infants, especially to detect hypothermia.

Purpose: To assess the accuracy of the TAT in hypothermic neonates in comparison to a rectal thermometer.

Gadopiclenol Enables Reduced Gadolinium Dose While Maintaining Quality of Pulmonary Arterial Enhancement for Pulmonary MRA: An Opportunity for Improved Safety and Sustainability.

Invest Radiol

January 2025

From the Departments of Radiology (J.F.H., S.Y.C., J.-P.G., J.S., P.N., S.B.R., T.M.G.), Biomedical Engineering (S.B.R., T.M.G.), Medical Physics (S.Y.C., S.B.R., T.M.G.), Medicine (S.B.R.), and Emergency Medicine (S.B.R.), University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI; and Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology (J.F.H., J.-P.G.), University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany.

Rationale And Objectives: Pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is an imaging method with proven utility for the exclusion of pulmonary embolism and avoids the need for ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast agents. High-relaxivity gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), such as gadopiclenol, can be used to reduce the required gadolinium dose for pulmonary MRA. The aim of this study was to compare the contrast enhancement performance of gadopiclenol with an established gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced pulmonary MRA protocol.

Rationale: Although the guidelines generally omit routine antibiotic prophylaxis for diagnostic bronchoscopy, this recommendation is primarily based on studies with relatively small sample sizes conducted at single institutions. Moreover, the applicability of recent technical and procedural advancements to these guidelines remains uncertain.

Objectives: To evaluate whether oral prophylactic antibiotic administration for diagnostic bronchoscopy reduces post-bronchoscopy infections among non-infectious diseases in the current setting.
