Background: Most colorectal cancers arise from adenomas, and although insulinemic and inflammatory dietary patterns have been associated with colorectal cancer risk, these dietary patterns have not been studied in relation to adenoma risk.
Methods: Using data from 21,192 participants in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer screening cohort, we calculated the Empirical Dietary Index for Hyperinsulinemia (EDIH), Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern (EDIP), and overall dietary quality measured via the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015), from food frequency questionnaires (FFQ). In multivariable-adjusted logistic regression, we investigated associations of these dietary indices with adenoma (any adenoma, advanced adenoma, n = 19,493) and recurrent adenoma (n = 1,699).
Results: EDIH was not associated with adenoma or advanced adenoma but was marginally associated with recurrent adenoma. The OR (95% CI) comparing highest (lowest insulinemic) versus lowest (most hyperinsulinemic) quintiles was 0.76 (0.55-1.05) after multivariable adjustment including BMI. EDIP and HEI-2015 were not associated with any of the three outcomes.
Conclusions: In the PLCO cohort, we did not observe substantial associations between dietary patterns and risk of colorectal adenomas.
Impact: Pending confirmation in larger prospective studies, our findings suggest that these dietary patterns may not substantially affect colorectal cancer risk via the adenoma-carcinoma sequence.

Plant-based dietary patterns have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of non-communicable disease (NCD), including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, cancer, and all-cause mortality. Phenolic compounds (PC), abundant in plant-based foods, have been considered as instrumental in this attenuation of NCD risk. We evaluated the association between dietary intake of PC and the risk of all-cause mortality in a relatively young Mediterranean cohort of 18,173 Spanish participants in the "Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra" (SUN) project, after a median follow-up of 12.

Since the biological activities and toxicities of 'foreign' and/or excess levels of metal ions are predominantly determined by their precise molecular nature, here we have employed high-resolution H NMR analysis to explore the 'speciation' of paramagnetic Ni(II) ions in human saliva, a potentially rich source of biomolecular Ni(II)-complexants/chelators. These studies are of relevance to the corrosion of nickel-containing metal alloy dental prostheses (NiC-MADPs) in addition to the dietary or adverse toxicological intake of Ni(II) ions by humans. Unstimulated whole-mouth human saliva samples were obtained from n = 12 pre-fasted (≥8 h) healthy participants, and clear whole-mouth salivary supernatants (WMSSs) were obtained from these via centrifugation.

Although numerous studies have focused on diagnostic biomarkers to help identify allergic rhinitis (AR), data on the characteristics of pediatric AR with different severity is limited. We aimed to compare the characteristics of pediatric AR with different severity. A total of 1054 children with AR were enrolled and classified into mild intermittent AR, mild persistent AR, moderate-to-severe intermittent AR, and moderate-to-severe persistent AR.

Background: Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the prevalence of psychological conditions, such as depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and body image disturbances. In concert with this trend, there was a substantial rise in the advocacy and practice of restrictive dietary patterns, such as veganism and vegetarianism. These parallel developments suggest a relation between diet and mental health, but to date, research has failed to offer clear answers on whether these associations are causal, coincidental, or more complex than superficial analyses suggest.
