Vitamin D Levels Linked to Colorectal Cancer Risk

Experimental and epidemiological studies suggest a protective role for vitamin D in colorectal carcinogenesis, but evidence is inconclusive. Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations that minimize risk are unknown. More...

Vaginal Bacteria Linked to Cervical Cancer

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a well-established risk factor for cervical cancer, but there are likely other factors within the local microenvironment that contribute to cervical carcinogenesis. More...

Image: Mycobacterium chimaera colonies growing on agar; the infections can cause serious injury, including pneumonia and death. Of particular concern is that patients infected with M. chimaera may not develop symptoms and signs of infection for months to years after initial exposure, making the infections difficult to detect and diagnose (Photo courtesy of the CDC).

Post-Cardiac Surgery Infection Associated with Different Diseases

Mycobacterium chimaera infection following cardiac surgery, due to contaminated cardiopulmonary bypass heater-cooler units (HCUs), has been reported worldwide. However, the spectrum of clinical disease remains poorly understood. More...

MSI Tumor Analysis Implicates Lynch Syndrome in Cancer Types

A new pan-cancer analysis suggests that there may be a benefit to doing germline testing for Lynch syndrome in advanced cancer patients who have high microsatellite instability (MSI) in their tumors. More...

Hormone Levels Alter CVD Risk in Older Women

Higher androgen and lower estrogen levels are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in women; however, studies on sex hormones and incident CVD events in women have yielded conflicting results. More...
