Background/objectives: Evidence suggests nasal airflow resistance reduces after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the medium-term effects of RME on upper airway (UA) airflow characteristics when normal craniofacial development is considered are still unclear. This retrospective cohort study used computer fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the medium-term changes in the UA airflow (pressure and velocity) after RME in two distinct age-based cohorts.

Purpose: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, with an incidence of approximately two million cases in 2018. Organised age-based breast cancer screening programs were established worldwide to detect breast cancer earlier and to reduce mortality. Currently, there is substantial anticipation regarding risk-adjusted screening programs, considering various risk factors in addition to age.

Population-based screening programs aim to detect the disease at an early stage, so less treatment will be needed as well as having better oncological outcomes when diagnosed earlier. In the majority of European countries, breast cancer screening programs are designed based on women age.Meta-analysis of randomized clinical trial data demonstrates a reduction in the relative risk of breast cancer mortality due to screening, which has been estimated to be approximately 20%.

Background: Presenting to primary care with fatigue is associated with a wide range of conditions, including cancer, although their relative likelihood is unknown.
Aim: To quantify associations between new-onset fatigue presentation and subsequent diagnosis of various diseases, including cancer.
Design And Setting: A cohort study of patients presenting in English primary care with new-onset fatigue during 2007-2017 (the fatigue group) compared with patients who presented without fatigue (the non-fatigue group), using Clinical Practice Research Datalink data linked to hospital episodes and national cancer registration data.

Estimating individual age from DNA methylation at age associated CpG sites may provide key information facilitating forensic investigations. Systematic marker screening and feature selection play a critical role in ensuring the performance of the final prediction model. In the discovery stage, we screened for 811876 CpGs from whole blood of 2664 Chinese individuals ranging from 18 to 83 years of age based on a stepwise conditional epigenome-wide association study (SCEWAS).
