Vasectomy is an efficient male contraceptive method, but the long-term effects of this technology in a large population are unclear. To investigate the influence of vasectomy on long-term health effects, we recruited 485 men with a vasectomy and 1940 men without vasectomy in China. After obtainin...
Table 2 Risks of gallstone disease according to long-term weight patterns. Full size tableWe analyzed gallstone relative risk to long-term weight patterns and BMI categories (Fig. 2). In the underweight BMI group (< 18.5 kg/m2), an increased risk of gallstones was associated with more ...
Within the Effects of Low-Level Air Pollution: A Study in Europe (ELAPSE) project, we reported positive associations of non-accidental and cause-specific mortality, including lung cancer mortality, with long-term exposure to air pollution in seven administrative cohorts across Europe, even at pollut...
We did not materially alter our macro assumptions from last year (seeRiverFront’s 2022 Long-Term Forecasts: Reflationary Recovery or Inflationary Inferno?), simply because our long-term macro fundamental view hasn’t changed dramatically. Global inflation h...
Objective: Numerous reports have confirmed the early benefits of lung volume reduction surgery for selected patients with emphysema. This report documents the long-term survival and functional results after lung volume reduction surgery. Methods: Between January 1993 and June 2000, a total of 250 cons...
However, being both overweight and underweight drives long-term cardiac and general health risks. Long-term data are needed to understand the influence of body mass index (BMI) on outcomes after ablation in regard to arrhythmia recurrence and cardiovascular outcomes.Bunch, T. JaredMay, Heidi T....
since it could be calculated for all ages and is most closely related to underweight, which previously was identified as a risk factor for mortality among children (Citation8). Age was categorized in standard age groups of below 18 months, 18–59 months, and above 59 months. Year of enrollm...
If these risks didn’t materialise occasionally, then everyone would put most of their money in shares. And in such a world, equities would eventually earn a miserable, cash-like return.1 Crashes are as necessary as forest fires. They’re fearsome at the time but they set the stage for ...
Using an advanced measure of drought, we observed associations between exposure to long-term drought and elevated diarrhea risk among children under age five in LMICs. We observed significantly positive associations for mild drought across timescales (6 to 24 months) and for severe drought at the ...
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) often exhibits adverse (genetic) features. There is ongoing discussion on the impact of t-AML on long-term outcome in AML. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed clinical and biological characteristics of 11
