Introduction: The link between cruciferous vegetables (CVs) and ovarian cancer (OC) is still uncertain. This meta-analysis is intended to investigate the association between CV consumption and the risk of OC, as well as to conduct a dose-response analysis to determine the degree of correlation between them.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases between database creation and October 2023. The present meta-analysis has been duly registered and assigned the registration number CRD42023470299. This study followed the PRISMA guidelines. The statistical analysis was performed using Stata 14.0 software.

Results: There were a total of 7 cohort studies and 7 case-control studies with 7,269 cases and 742,952 subjects. The combined relative risk (RR) of the highest intake of CVs was 0.90 (95% confidence intervals [CIs]: 0.84-0.96; I2 = 54.7%; p = 0.007) compared to the lowest intake of CVs. The odds ratio (OR) was 0.97 (95% CIs: 0.86-1.08; p = 0.192) for cohort studies, and the RR was 0.79 (95% CIs: 0.67-0.91; p = 0.167) for case-control studies. The intake of CVs and the risk of OC were linearly correlated. Adding 15 g of CVs to the diet each day decreased the likelihood of developing OC by almost 4% (RR = 0.963, 95% CIs: 0.905-1.025; p = 0.235).

Conclusions: Consumption of CVs may be linked to a lower risk of OC.

Background: Nutrient biomarkers (NBs) may serve as more accurate and precise indicators of dietary intake, particularly in older adults who often have subtle episodic memory recall and digestive/microbiome issues that alter the nutritional substrate readily available to the brain. NBs also allow insight into modes of action and metabolic changes that are actionable targets for modification through nutritional means in hopes of disease prevention and treatment. Prior to broad investment and deployment, the pre-analytical and intra-individual temporal variation over time should be documented to design and interpret clinical and epidemiological studies properly.

Background: Veterinary medicine has seen significant advancements in locoregional anaesthesia and pain management, including the emergence of the erector spinae plane (ESP) block. However, limited clinical evidence exists on its efficacy and safety.

Objectives: This study compares ultrasound-guided ESP block (ESP group) with an intraoperative intravenous ketamine infusion analgesic protocol (CRI group) in dogs undergoing thoracolumbar mini-hemilaminectomy, focusing on intraoperative opioid consumption, cardiovascular response to surgical stimulation (CR), postoperative pain scores (PS), and postoperative opioid consumption.

Adjudication of Self-reported Symptomatic Stone Recurrence in the Prevention of Urinary Stones With Hydration Trial.

Urology

December 2024

Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; Department of Surgery, Division of Pediatric Urology, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.

Objective: To assess accuracy of self-reported stone events in a large clinical trial by adjudication against the weight of documentation for spontaneous stone passage or surgical intervention.

Methods: Participants in the Prevention of Urinary Stones with Hydration (PUSH) trial were randomized to a multi-component behavioral intervention or control arm to increase and maintain high fluid intake. The primary endpoint was urinary stone events including symptomatic stone passage or procedural intervention.

The State Key Laboratory of Basis and New Drug Development of Natural and Nuclear Drugs, Institute of Medicinal Plant Development, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100193, China. Electronic address:

The root of Millettia pulchra (YLS) has been traditionally used as a folk medicine for the treatment of depression and insomnia in the Zhuang nationality of China, and its polysaccharides have potential antidepressant effect. In this study, a novel homogeneous polysaccharide (YLP-1) was purified from the crude polysaccharides of YLS, and it is mainly composed of glucose, arabinose and mannose with molar ratio of 87.25%, 10.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the central vein sign (CVS) as a potential diagnostic marker for multiple sclerosis (MS) and other related brain conditions through clinical evaluations and MRI data.
  • Results indicated that while CVS is sensitive for diagnosing MS, it lacks specificity, making it unreliable as a standalone diagnostic tool.
  • The findings suggest that CVS should be used alongside existing MS diagnostic criteria to improve accuracy in differentiating MS from other demyelinating and non-demyelinating diseases.
