Comments (0)Vitamin D intake may be associated with lower stress fracture risk in girls
Vitamin D may be associated with a lower risk of developing stress fractures in preadolescent and adolescent girls, especially among those very active in high-impact activities, according to a new report.
Exposure to micronutrients pre-pregnancy associated with gene modifications in offspring
The offspring of women who were given micronutrient supplements (minerals needed in small quantities, such as iron, iodine and vitamin A) before they became pregnant had gene modifications at birth as well as when they were tested at nine months.
Short-term exposure to most major air pollutants associated with increased risk of heart attack
Short-term exposure (for up to 7 days) to all major air pollutants, with the exception of ozone, is significantly associated with an increased risk of heart attack, according to a new review article.

Obesity is associated with altered brain function
Researchers have found new evidence for the role of the brain in obesity.
Drinking large amounts of soft drinks associated with asthma and COPD
A high level of soft drink consumption is associated with asthma and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to new research.
Smoking associated with more rapid cognitive decline in men
Smoking in men appears to be associated with more rapid cognitive decline, according to a new report.
Elevated glucose associated with undetected heart damage
A new study suggests that hyperglycemia injures the heart, even in patients without a history of heart disease or diabetes. The high-sensitivity test they used detected levels of cTnT tenfold lower than those found in patients diagnosed with a heart attack.
Increased exposure to compound widely used in food packaging associated with reduced immune response to vaccinations for children
Elevated exposures in children to perfluorinated compounds, which are widely used in manufacturing and food packaging, were associated with lower antibody responses to routine childhood immunizations, according to a new study.
Novel gene mutations associated with bile duct cancer
Investigators have identified a new genetic signature associated with bile duct cancer, a usually deadly tumor for which effective treatment currently is limited.
First major genetic mutation associated with hereditary prostate cancer risk
After a 20-year quest to find a genetic driver for prostate cancer that strikes men at younger ages and runs in families, researchers have identified a rare, inherited mutation linked to a significantly higher risk of the disease.
