Purpose: Low-fat dietary (LFD) pattern refers to a dietary structure with reduced fat intake. The aim was to investigate the association between LFD pattern and risk of head and neck cancer (HNC).

Methods: Data were derived from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial. LFD score was used to assess adherence to an LFD pattern, with higher scores indicating greater adherence. Cox regression was used to evaluate the association between LFD score and risk of HNC and its subtypes. To visualize the trend in risk of HNC and its subtypes with changing LFD score, restricted cubic spline plots were utilized. A series of subgroup analyses were conducted to identify potential confounders. Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the robustness of the results.

Results: Among 98,459 participants of PLCO trial, 268 cases with HNC were identified during an average of 8.8 years of follow-up. In the fully adjusted model, participants in the highest compared with the lowest quartiles of LFD score had a lower risk of HNC (HR : 0.60; 95% CI: 0.40-0.90; P for trend = 0.026) and larynx cancer (HR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.22-0.96; P for trend = 0.039). The restricted cubic spline plots demonstrated a linear dose-response relationship between the LFD score and the risk of HNC and its subtypes (all P for nonlinearity > 0.05). The primary association remained robust in the sensitivity analysis.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that adherence to an LFD pattern may lower the risk of HNC in the US population.

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Although low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets improve weight loss, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, the relationship between these dietary patterns, highlighting macronutrient sources, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs) and low-fat diets (LFDs) and the odds of COPD and mortality among people with COPD in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Patients And Methods: Clinical data were extracted from the 2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2011-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles that met the inclusion criteria.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study compares the outcomes of early versus delayed pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients experiencing their first vitreous hemorrhage (VH) due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) at Moorfields Eye Hospital from 2014 to 2016, excluding patients with specific eye conditions.
  • - Patients were categorized into two groups: early PPV (within 6 weeks) and delayed PPV (after 6 weeks), with data collected on visual acuity and complications at baseline and 12 months post-surgery.
  • - Results indicated that the early PPV group had significantly better visual acuity and fewer serious complications compared to the delayed group, highlighting the benefits of earlier intervention.

Introduction: Bamboo charcoal powder (BCP) is increasingly used as a food colorant. This study aims to evaluate the effects of BCP consumption on improving high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia.

Methods: Fifty male SD rats were randomly assigned into five groups, with 10 rats in each group: the control group was fed a low-fat diet (LFD); the model control group was fed a high-fat diet (HFD); the low-BCP dose group was fed a HFD and given 2.
