This study was conducted to determine the risk of menopause and infertility in female childhood cancer survivors who received abdominal-pevic radiation and/or chemotherapy with alkylating agents comparison those were treated by nonsterilizing surgery only. Females diagnosed 1964–1988 before age 20 years a histologically confirmed mallganancy had survived for at least 5 years, attained 18, alive time identified through Ontario Cancer Registry. Reproductive outcomes ascertained...
The present case-control study was undertaken to investigate the association between exposure maternal hormones and risk of testicular germ-cell cancer by histologic subgroups. Cases were males, aged 16 59 years, diagnosed with in Ontario 1987 1989. Histologic review performed on all eligible cases for purpose categorizing as seminoma or non-seminoma (the latter classified 2 ways, without tumors containing seminoma). Risk factor data collected 502 cases, 346 case mothers, 975 age-matched...
A major contributor to the growing obesity crisis is screen based sedentary behaviour among young children. Media parenting practices may be an important determinant of children's time, however published research exploring influence on time has mainly focused television use and mother. This study examined mobile media devices (as well as use) included role fathers in parenting, allowing a fuller understanding mothers' fathers' play current environment.Secondary data analysis was conducted...
Background Preterm and acutely ill term neonates who are hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit subjected to multiple frequent invasive painful procedures aimed at improving their outcome. Although several trials determine the efficacy of sucrose for managing procedural pain preterm have been developed, these generally lacked methodological rigor not provided clinicians with clear practice guidelines. Objectives To compare safety three interventions relieving associated heel lances...
A population-based case-control study was conducted to examine the effects of past and recent physical activity on risk hip fracture in women. Cases included females aged 55–84 years with a first diagnosis 1989 metropolitan Toronto, Canada. Controls were random sample frequency matched by 5-year age groups. Data collected 381 cases 1,138 controls self-administered mailed questionnaires or telephone interviews. Past calculated as compilation scores at ages 16, 30, 50 years. Recent defined...
This Ontario province-wide cohort study was conducted to compare the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in female childhood cancer survivors who received abdominal-pelvic radiation and/or chemotherapy with alkylating agents among those were treated by non-sterilizing surgery only. Females Ontario, Canada, diagnosed 1964-1988 before age 20 a histologically confirmed malignancy and had survived for at least 5 years, attained 18, alive time study, identified through Cancer Registry. We...
Parents influence their children's obesity risk through feeding behaviours and modeling of weight-related behaviours. Little is known about how the general home environment, including parental stress, may weight. The objective this study was to explore association between parenting stress child body mass index (BMI) as well factors, physical activity television (TV) viewing. We used cross-sectional data from 110 parent–child dyads participating in a community-based intervention. Child...
Experimental and epidemiologic studies suggest that antidepressant medication use may be associated with breast cancer risk. This hypothesis was investigated using a population-based case-control study; cases diagnosed in 1995–1996 were identified the Ontario Cancer Registry, controls randomly sampled from an Ministry of Finance database. Data collected self-administered questionnaire, multivariate logistic regression used to estimate odds ratios 95% confidence intervals. Adjusted ratio...
In Canada, little is known about how food parenting practices are associated with young children's dietary intakes and no studies have examined of Canadian fathers. This study aimed to examine associations between preschool-age nutrition risk. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis thirty-one 2-parent families; 31 mothers, fathers, 40 children. Parents completed an adapted version the Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire. calculated risk using their NutriSTEP score. To account for...
Parents are typically relied upon to report young children's dietary intake. However, there has been limited research assessing the accuracy of such reports captured using novel assessment tools. The purpose current study was assess validity web-based Automated Self-Administered 24-h Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24-Canada) for capturing intake among children aged two-five years (n = 40), parental proxy reporting. conducted in a daycare setting, allowing standardization foods and drinks...
Taste is a fundamental determinant of food selection, and inter-individual variations in taste perception may be important risk factors for poor eating habits obesity. Characterizing differences their influences on dietary intake lead to an improved understanding obesity potential develop personalized nutrition recommendations. This study explored associations between 93 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) sweet, fat, bitter, salt, sour, umami receptors psychophysical measures taste....
Purpose: To examine the effects of a relationship‐enhancing program care (REPC) on resident and provider outcomes. Design Methods: A quasi‐experimental, repeated measures design, with intervention comparison groups. Questionnaires were distributed to 50 residents, observations conducted 40 residents 34 nursing staff at baseline 3 months after intervention, two Canadian home units. An investigator‐designed educational based Winnicott's theory relationships empirical literature, was provided...
Progress in understanding the effects of dietary soy isoflavones on chronic disease prevention Hong Kong Chinese population has been hampered by lack a comprehensive isoflavone database. In this study, we determined concentrations and distribution 47 foods included food frequency questionnaire reverse-phase HPLC. Results indicated that most products contained ranging from 1 mg aglucon equivalents/100 g wet weight (bean strip noodle egg bean curd) to 80 (oyster sauce soybean sweet curd...
Snacking is an integral component of eating habits in young children that often overlooked nutrition research. While snacking a substantial source calories preschoolers’ diets, there limited knowledge about the factors drive patterns. The genetics taste may help to better understand patterns children. rs1761667 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) CD36 gene has been linked fat sensitivity, rs35874116 SNP TAS1R2 related sweet preference, and rs713598 TAS2R38 associated with aversion bitter,...
Taste is fundamentally important for food selection. Although measures of taste sensitivity and preference have been refined over several decades, it remains largely unknown how these relate to each other preferences. The objectives this study were examine, in healthy adults (age 24.6 ± 0.6 years, n = 49), 1) correlations among sensitivity, including detection threshold (DT) suprathreshold (ST), (PR) within sweet, salt, sour, umami, ... fat tastes; 2) underlying associations DT, ST, PR...
