The association of dietary fat and fatty acid intake with ovarian cancer survival: findings from the OOPS, a prospective cohort study.

Background: Dietary fat and fatty acid intakes impact the occurrence and development of several cancers. However, the evidence regarding fat and fatty acid intake and ovarian cancer (OC) survival is limited.

Methods: The Ovarian Cancer Follow-Up Study (OOPS), a prospective cohort study, analyzed data collected from 703 OC patients.

AI-Derived Blood Biomarkers for Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Emerging evidence underscores the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) in discovering noninvasive blood biomarkers. However, the diagnostic value of AI-derived blood biomarkers for ovarian cancer (OC) remains inconsistent.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the research quality and the validity of AI-based blood biomarkers in OC diagnosis.

EAT-Lancet diet pattern, genetic risk, and risk of colorectal cancer: a prospective study from the UK Biobank.

Background: Diet and genetic risk are risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). The interaction between the EAT (Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems)-Lancet diet and genetic variants on CRC risk remains unclear.

Objectives: We aim to investigate the association between EAT-Lancet diet and CRC risk and to evaluate its combined effect with genetic risk on CRC risk.

Gelling and reducing agents are potential carbon and energy sources in culturing of anaerobic microorganisms.

Unlabelled: The majority of microorganisms in the environment have yet to be isolated in pure cultures, and the reasons behind this phenomenon remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the possibility of the commonly used gelling agent including agar and gellan gum as a source of carbon and energy in anaerobic roll-tube cultivation from one mangrove sediment sample and two high-temperature oilfield samples. Based on growth tests and genomic evidence, anaerobic gellan degraders were retrieved from genera of , , and lineages from the rarely cultivated phylum Atribacterota.

Worldwide patterns and trends in ovarian cancer incidence by histological subtype: a population-based analysis from 1988 to 2017.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a heterogeneous malignancy with multiple histological subtypes, showing global variability in incidence. Temporal changes in diagnostic criteria and risk factors might influence the incidence and distribution of OC and its subtypes.

Methods: This study analyzed incidence patterns (2013-2017) and trends (1988-1992 to 2013-2017) of OC and its subtypes across 65 and 40 countries, respectively.

Preoperative localization of sentinel lymph nodes using percutaneous contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in patients with breast cancer.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of preoperative identification of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for patients with breast cancer.

Methods: The patients with T1-T2N0M0 breast cancer who were scheduled for primary surgical treatment were recruited. All the patients had received a periareolar intradermal injection of an ultrasonic contrast agent (SonoVue, Bracco, Milan, Italy) followed by an ultrasound to identify contrast-enhanced SLNs.

Epidemiology of Birth Defects in Eastern China and the Associated Risk Factors.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to survey the overall situation of birth defects (BDs) among citizens of Hangzhou, China, and the risk factors of different BD types. MATERIAL AND METHODS We collected the data of 4349 perinatal infants with BDs in Hangzhou. The potentially associated risk factors of BDs were recorded and logistic regression analysis was used to predict the high incidence of BDs.

Elastography for breast cancer diagnosis: a useful tool for small and BI-RADS 4 lesions.

The present study aimed at evaluating and comparing the diagnostic performance of B-mode ultrasound (US), elastography score (ES), and strain ratio (SR) for the differentiation of breast lesions. This retrospective study enrolled 431 lesions from 417 in-hospital patients. All patients were examined with both conventional ultrasound and elastography.

Breast magnetic resonance imaging in patients with occult breast carcinoma: evaluation on feasibility and correlation with histopathological findings.

Background: As an uncommon presentation, occult primary breast cancer remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in clinical practice. This study aimed to retrospectively assess the feasibility of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with malignant axillary lymphadenopathy and unknown primary malignancy, and correlation with histopathological characteristics.

Methods: A total of 35 women with occult breast carcinoma were evaluated with dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI.

[Effects of high volume hemofiltration on postoperative multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in severe abdominal infection patients].

Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of high-volume hemofiltration (HVHF) on treating postoperative multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in severe abdominal infection patients.

Methods: Data of 17 severe abdominal infection patients treated with HVHF were collected and the differences on oxygenation indices, APACHE-II scores before and after HVHF therapy were observed.

Results: After the first HVHF treatment, the oxygenation index improved, and the APACHE-II scores, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8 decreased significantly (P<0.
