Importance: Although breast density is an established risk factor for breast cancer, longitudinal changes in breast density have not been extensively studied to determine whether this factor is associated with breast cancer risk.
Objective: To prospectively evaluate the association between change in mammographic density in each breast over time and risk of subsequent breast cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nested case-control cohort study was sampled from the Joanne Knight Breast Health Cohort of 10 481 women free from cancer at entry and observed from November 3, 2008, to October 31, 2020, with routine screening mammograms every 1 to 2 years, providing a measure of breast density.

Background: Neuroimaging reveals structural brain changes linked with HIV infection and related neurocognitive disorders; however, group-level comparisons between people with HIV and people without HIV do not account for within-group heterogeneity. The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and adverse social determinants of health on brain ageing in people with HIV and people without HIV.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, people with HIV from Washington University in St Louis, MO, USA, and people without HIV identified through community organisations or the Research Participant Registry were clinically characterised and underwent 3-Tesla T-weighted MRI between Dec 3, 2008, and Oct 4, 2022.

Sample storage conditions can affect accuracy and reproducibility of biological measurements. Storing samples rapidly at the lowest available temperatures is considered ideal but is not always feasible when sampling in remote and logistically challenging field conditions, as is often the case with sea turtles. The objective of this study was to examine the stability of plasma proteins and quality of whole blood RNA from loggerhead sea turtle samples collected as part of an eighteen-year-long curated specimen collection.

Background: Microvascular decompression (MVD) has been the most effective long-term surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). However, the risk factors for poor pain control after MVD are not fully understood.
Methods: A total of 184 patients with typical TN who had undergone MVD at our institution from January 3, 2008 to January 3, 2016 were enrolled in the present study.
