Obesity after a diagnosis of specific cancers has been associated with worse prognosis. We examined the trend in obesity prevalence among cancer survivors United States past two decades and compared trends those adults without history cancer.
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is characterized by the early onset of colonic and a high risk for colorectal cancer. FAP treated colectomy followed lifelong removal rectal polyps. This study determined whether black raspberries (BRBs) might regress polyps in patients with FAP. Fourteen were BRBs daily 9 months. Seven received BRB powder orally plus two suppositories inserted into rectum at bedtime. The other 7 an oral placebo suppositories. Rectal polyp counts sizes obtained time zero...
We compared the outcome of COVID-19 in immunosuppressed solid organ transplant (SOT) patients to a naïve population. In total, 10 356 adult hospital admissions for from March 1, 2020 April 27, were analyzed. Data collected on demographics, baseline clinical conditions, medications, immunosuppression, and course. Primary was combined death or mechanical ventilation. assessed association between primary prognostic variables using bivariate multivariate regression models. also endpoint SOT an...
No studies have evaluated the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and colorectal adenoma recurrence. DII scores were calculated from a baseline food frequency questionnaire. Participants (n = 1727) 40–80 years of age, enrolled in two Phase III clinical trials, who had ≥1 adenoma(s) removed within 6 months study registration, follow-up colonoscopy during trial. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs)....
Several classifications systems have been developed to predict outcomes of kidney transplantation based on donor variables. This study aims identify transplant recipient variables that would graft outcome irrespective characteristics. All U.S. recipients between October 25,1999 and January 1, 2007 were reviewed. Cox proportional hazards regression was used model time until failure. Death-censored nondeath-censored survival models generated for live deceased organs. Recipient age, gender,...
Abstract Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by red cell failure, congenital anomalies, poor linear growth, and cancer predisposition. Two previous analyses from the Anemia Registry have quantified DBA as predisposition of moderate penetrance. Patients with 4.8‐fold higher relative risk developing an overall cumulative incidence 13.7% age 45 years. The two most prevalent solid tumors are colorectal (CRC) osteogenic sarcoma. Current...
INTRODUCTION Early screening of first-degree relatives (FDRs) patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) has always been a clinical focus. However, the significant risk to FDRs those advanced polyps (ACPs) and need for earlier initiation may be overlooked. For purposes this manuscript, we use term ACP describe adenomas (AAs) (the traditionally used in literature) serrated polyps. Both CRC ACPs diagnosed proband require (parents, siblings, children) screened at 40 years age or 10 before proband's...
This study aimed to test the feasibility of a 12-month weight loss intervention using telephone-based counseling plus community-situated physical activity (PA) in female breast cancer (BC) and colorectal (CRC) survivors. multisite cooperative group enrolled sedentary, female, postmenopausal BC CRC survivors with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 receive fitness center memberships telephone encouraging 150 min/wk PA 500-kcal/ddecrease energy intake. Feasibility criteria included accrual, adherence, retention....
Aim: Compare risk factors for early-onset-metachronous colorectal adenoma (EOMCA) among individuals <50 versus ≥50 years. Materials & methods: Descriptive statistics compared clinical/demographic characteristics and ≥50. Logistic regression estimated associations between demographic clinical attributes EOMCA. Results: N = A total of 1623 participants. Individuals years (vs ≥50) had higher smoking rates, greater intake red meat, monounsaturated fatty acids, fat less sleep, sedentary behavior,...
The rates of early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) have been rising by 0.5% to 2.4% annually for three decades, accounting an estimated 12% all diagnosed in the United States 2020. Enhancing rigor and comprehensiveness epidemiology terms exposures prognostic biomarkers is essential if we are modify risk factors underlying mechanisms, ultimately arresting this unduly trend. This commentary serves describe disease trend, postulate mechanisms driving incidence, proposes a call action...
Key Points Organ donation in the United States is characterized by major racial disparities that are especially prominent large urban centers. Our study provides unique insight into causes of these New York City and potential ways to address correct them. pathways improve organ registration a heterogeneous areas help inequities health care. Background The primary objective this was evaluate effectiveness an emotive educational video on intent City. secondary determine if affected various...
The Hispanic community has a high demand for organ donation but shortage of donors. Studies investigating factors that could promote or hinder have examined emotional video interventions. Factors acting as barriers to registration been classified as: (1) Bodily integrity; (2) medical mistrust; (3) "ick"-feelings disgust towards donation; and (4) "jinx"-fear may result in one dying due premeditated plans. We predict by providing necessary information education about the process via short...
In many instances, kidney transplants cannot be performed because of incompatibility (such as blood type or cross-match) among donors and recipients. One established way to address this finding is by means donor exchanges, where incompatible pairs are enrolled in a registry. Registries can lead paired exchanges chains. chains, non-directed (altruistic) initiates sequence that culminates with so-called bridge-donor. Studies have estimated triggers on average 4.8 8 (if O) (1). Although usually...
Abstract The kidney allocation system (KAS) is based on quality-based “longevity matching” strategies that provide only a momentary snapshot of expected outcomes at the time transplantation. purpose our study was to define continuous timeline relative and mutual interactions donor recipient characteristics graft survival. Total 39,108 subjects who underwent transplant between October 25, 1999 January 1, 2007 were identified in United Network for Organ Sharing dataset. Our primary outcome...
