OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study are to clarify the scientific definition of comfort food, identify which methodologies are being used in research on this topic and which factors are associated with the consumption of comfort food. INTRODUCTION: The consumption of comfort foods is subjective and influenced by individual experiences, as they are known and appreciated by the person. However, divergences about the definition of comfort food in the scientific literature reflect the heterogeneity of the methods used in the research, and consequently identification of possible factors associated with the consumption of this type of food, which can influence the knowledge about the consumption of these foods and their potential effects on the health of those who consume them...

OBJECTIVE: We examined the association of arsenic in federally regulated community water systems (CWSs) and unregulated private wells with type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence in the Strong Heart Family Study (SHFS), a prospective study of American Indian communities, and the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a prospective study of racially and ethnically diverse urban U.S. communities. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We evaluated 1,791 participants from SHFS and 5,777 participants from MESA who had water arsenic estimates available and were free of T2D at baseline (2001-2003 and 2000-2002, respectively)...

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether the relationship between smoking and peripheral artery disease (PAD) differs by sex (PROSPERO CRD42022352318). METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched (3 March 2024) for studies reporting associations between smoking and PAD in both sexes, at least adjusted for age. Data were pooled using random effects. Between-study heterogeneity was examined using I2 statistic and Cochran's Q test. Newcastle-Ottowa Scale was adopted for quality assessment...

BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous (SC) infliximab may provide multiple benefits over intravenous (IV) formulations. However, studies for efficacy and safety in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been constrained by small sizes that limit the interpretation of outcomes, especially for subgroups potentially at high-risk of disease relapse. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis up to January 2023 to evaluate the change in clinical remission after transitioning from IV to SC infliximab in patients with IBD in clinical remission...

Increased molecular knowledge makes it possible to consider not only genetic defects but also expression profiles for precision medicine in advanced prostate cancer. Several prognostic and treatment-predictive classifiers for prostate cancer have been described, such as Prolaris, OncotypeDx, Decipher, Prostatype, PAM50, PCS1-2, and MetA-C, which all build upon transcript profiles. In research studies, the MetA-C classifier has shown clear prognostic information for patients with metastatic disease, in relation to outcome after androgen receptor targeting therapies, and so has immunohistochemical evaluation of tumor cell proliferation (Ki67) and PSA expression...

Glycans have attracted much attention in cancer therapeutic strategies, and cell surface proteins and lipids with glycans are known to be altered during the carcinogenic process. However, our understanding of how the glycogenes profile responds to drug stimulation remains incomplete. In this study, we search public databases for Sequence Read Archive data on drug-treated liver cancer cells, with the aim to comprehensively analyze the drug responses of glycogenes via bioinformatic meta-analysis. The study comprised 86 datasets, encompassing eight distinct liver cancer cell lines and 13 different drugs...

IMPORTANCE: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications and associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. Prophylactic intraoperative incisional wound irrigation is used to reduce the risk of SSIs, and there is great variation in the type of irrigation solutions and their use. OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of different types of incisional prophylactic intraoperative incisional wound irrigation for the prevention of SSIs in all types of surgery...

PURPOSE: Proxy assessment can be elicited via the proxy-patient perspective (i.e., asking proxies to assess the patient's quality of life (QoL) as they think the patient would respond) or proxy-proxy perspective (i.e., asking proxies to provide their own perspective on the patient's QoL). This review aimed to identify the role of the proxy perspective in explaining the differences between self-rated and proxy-rated QoL in people living with dementia. METHODS: A systematic literate review was conducted by sourcing articles from a previously published review, supplemented by an update of the review in four bibliographic databases...

IMPORTANCE: Inconsistent reporting of outcomes in clinical trials of rosacea is impeding and likely preventing accurate data pooling and meta-analyses. There is a need for standardization of outcomes assessed during intervention trials of rosacea. OBJECTIVE: To develop a rosacea core outcome set (COS) based on key domains that are globally relevant and applicable to all demographic groups to be used as a minimum list of outcomes for reporting by rosacea clinical trials, and when appropriate, in clinical practice...

BACKGROUND: Certain hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are known or suspected to pose immunological or cancer risk to humans, but evidence is limited from the general population. METHODS: We assessed associations between residential exposure to HAPs at the Census tract level and incident non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM) in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS, 1986-2012) and NHSII (1989-2019). We used covariate-adjusted proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of NHL, major NHL subtypes, and MM per interquartile range increase in exposure to a given HAP and pooled the cohort-specific estimates using fixed-effects meta-analyses...

Some studies suggested that gastrointestinal (GIT) decontamination with oil may improve the prognosis of patients who ingested aluminum phosphide (AlP). The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of gastric lavage with oil-based solutions to any method of gastric decontamination not using oils in patients presenting with acute AlP poisoning. The literature was searched for English-published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to 16 September 2023. The searched electronic databases included MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Egyptian Knowledge Bank, Scopus, and Google Scholar...
