Abstract Objective To investigate whether supplementing older adults with monthly doses of vitamin D alters the incidence major cardiovascular events. Design Randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial (the D-Health Trial). Computer generated permuted block randomisation was used to allocate treatments. Setting Australia from 2014 2020. Participants 21 315 participants aged 60-84 years at enrolment. Exclusion criteria were self-reported hypercalcaemia, hyperparathyroidism, kidney...
Technologies for utilizing waste heat power generation have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their potential enhance energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This research focuses on the comparative optimization analysis of three supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Rankine cycles (simple, cascade, split) turbine recuperation. The study begins with parametric analysis, investigating effects key variables, including inlet temperature, condenser pinch point...
Objective To determine whether p53 expression is a marker of tumour progression in superficially invasive (pTl) transitional cell carcinoma the bladder. Patients and methods The immunohistochemical status protein 28 pTl primary bladder cancers was determined on frozen tissue archival paraffin block sections using three antibodies (CM‐1, PAB1801 D07). findings were compared with patients' progress. All patients, except for those who died during course study, followed up by check cystoscopy...
Background: Thyroid cancer incidence has increased in many parts of the world since 1980s, as prevalence obesity. Evidence suggests that people with greater body size have higher thyroid risk. However, it is unclear whether this association causal or driven by over-diagnosis indolent cancers, because overweight/obese use health services more frequently than those normal weight, thus conferring opportunity for incidental diagnosis. Assessing obesity associated higher-risk cancers might help...
Observational studies suggest a link between vitamin D and the composition of gut microbiome, but there is little evidence from randomized controlled trials supplementation. We analyzed data D-Health Trial, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. recruited 21,315 Australians aged 60–84 y them to 60,000 IU D3 or placebo monthly for 5 y. Stool samples were collected sample 835 participants (417 in 418 group) approximately after randomization. characterized microbiome using 16S rRNA...
The incidence of thyroid cancer has rapidly increased, and ecological evidence suggests this is due in some part to over-diagnosis. Understanding pathways diagnosis could help determine whether unnecessary can be avoided.A population-based sample (n = 1007) patients diagnosed between July 2013 August 2016 was recruited from Queensland, Australia (response rate 67%). Information structured telephone interviews used describe diagnostic for cancer, investigate factors associated with pathways,...
Background: Hypothyroidism is common, and in iodine-sufficient areas, it primarily caused by autoimmune destruction of the thyroid gland. Observational studies have consistently shown an inverse association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration diseases; however, there a lack evidence from randomized controlled trials to support benefit vitamin supplementation, particularly for diseases. We, therefore, aimed assess effect supplementation on incidence hypothyroidism. Methods: We...
This study aims to measure the robustness of multi-level models designed for three anthropometric indices – height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ) and weight-for-height (WHZ) Z-scores estimating childhood malnutrition indicators stunting, underweight wasting in Bangladesh. The 2011 BDHS child data have been used developing with without incorporating specific contextual variables relating lower administrative units extracted from Bangladesh Population Housing Census. is examined through...
To investigate whether vitamin D supplementation reduces depressive symptoms and incidence of antidepressant use.We used data from the D-Health Trial (N = 21,315), a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial monthly D3 for prevention all-cause mortality. Participants were Australians aged 60-84 years. completed Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) at 1, 2 5 years after randomization to measure symptoms; national prescribing records capture use. We mixed models survival models.Analyses...
The overlay of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical inactivity has become a great concern. Both types pandemics can decrease health protection capacity and consequently increase complexity in human lives. This cross-sectional study intended to examine changes activity sedentary behaviors during among university students second-tier city Bangladesh. Two hundred nine responded an online questionnaire administered via Google Survey. In addition descriptive statistics, parametric non-parametric...
Abstract Background Observational studies have consistently found a link between low serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D concentration and higher risk of cognitive impairment. Results from randomized controlled trials been mixed, few conducted in the general population. Methods We recruited 21,315 community‐dwelling Australians aged 60 84 years to participate D‐Health Trial, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial. The intervention was monthly oral doses 60,000 international units vitamin...
Smoking has been associated with a reduced risk of thyroid cancer, but whether the association varies between higher- and lower-risk cancers remains unclear. We aimed to assess smoking cancer overall as well by tumour BRAF mutational status marker potentially higher-risk cancer.We recruited 1013 people diagnosed 1057 population controls frequency-matched on age sex.Multivariable logistic regression was used in analyses stratified characteristics. sensitivity analysis potential for selection...
Remittances, the most explicit outcome of international migration, play a vital role in socioeconomic development Bangladesh. The optimum allocation these scarce resources is utmost importance for intergenerational consumption smoothing. This study explores household-level factors spending remittances different investment sectors. uses primary dataset from field survey covering 500 migrant and 250 non-migrant households 30 clusters Sylhet region Results indicate that total household income,...
This study goes beyond the conventional evaluative measurement of involuntary resettlement impacts by utilizing institutions interventions perspective and social capital theory as tools for understanding extent to which resettled populations in Philippines Indonesia are able restore their socio-economic well-being.The paper outlines how interplay between inputs changed from first year relocation site several years later changes provide evidence evolving well-being households.The cases...
Abstract Background Hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) has been consistently associated with increased thyroid cancer risk. While there may be a biologic explanation, ascertainment (over-diagnosis) because greater healthcare use by women having this procedure might also contribute to observed We explored association considering indications for hysterectomy, age at and potential mediated contact health professionals or function testing. Methods recruited 730 diagnosed 785...
