Objective: We conducted this study to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the risk of upper gastrointestinal cancer.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study with 475659 cancer-free participants from the UK Biobank. All subjects were grouped into quartiles, and we used a Cox proportional hazards model to analyze the association between SUA levels and the risk of upper gastrointestinal cancer and explore the potential sex-specific relationship.

Background: This study investigated the oral microbiome signatures associated with upper gastrointestinal (GI) and pancreaticobiliary cancers.
Methods: Saliva samples from cancer patients and age- and sex-matched healthy controls were analyzed using 16S rRNA-targeted sequencing, followed by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.
Results: Significant dissimilarities in microbial composition were observed between cancer patients and controls across esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC), biliary tract cancer (BC), and pancreatic cancer (PC) groups (R = 0.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how food passage routes after a specific stomach surgery, called proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (PGDT), affect postoperative complications like esophageal reflux and malnutrition.
- Patients were divided into two groups based on their food passage routes (remnant stomach influx - RSI vs. jejunal-loop - JL) and were analyzed for various health metrics and outcomes.
- The findings revealed that the RSI group experienced less reflux and better retention of body metrics, suggesting that improving the food passage route can help reduce reflux and malnutrition after surgery.
