Deciphering the role of complement system genes in pancreatic cancer susceptibility and prognosis Open
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) genetic susceptibility is partially identified. The complement system (CS) influences carcinogenesis and participates in immunological defense and homeostasis; however, its role in PDAC genetic susce…
Nutrient adequacy and environmental foot-print of Mediterranean, pesco-, ovo-lacto-, and vegan menus: a modelling study Open
Background Consumer food choices are changing towards a more plant-based diet (PBD) due to growing awareness of their less detrimental effects on health and the environment. However, PBDs—particularly vegan diets—may lead to nutritional de…
The Altemeier Procedure in the Management of Rectal Prolapse Secondary to a Prolapsed Rectal Polyp: A Valid Alternative Open
The definition of rectal prolapse is the protrusion of the rectal wall through the anal canal. The diagnosis of this condition is primarily clinical, based on the patient's symptoms and physical examination findings. Most rectal prolapses …
AI-Assistance Body Composition CT at T12 and T4 in Lung Cancer: Diagnosing Sarcopenia, and Its Correlation with Morphofunctional Assessment Techniques Open
Background: Sarcopenia and low muscle mass are prevalent and prognostically relevant in patients with lung cancer, yet their diagnosis remains challenging in routine clinical practice. Opportunistic assessment using computed tomography (CT…
Healthy Dietary Patterns and Risk of Sarcopenia in Adults Aged > 50 Years: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Considering EWGSOP1 and EWGSOP2 Criteria Open
Background/Objectives: Sarcopenia is characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Little is known about the dietary patterns and sarcopenia association. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was…

Sex Disparities and Female Reproductive and Hormonal Factors Associated with Risk of Pancreatic Cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Cohort Open
Background/Objectives: Worldwide, men experience a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer (PC) than women. Methods: To increase understanding of the underlying reasons for this sex-related difference, we analysed general and sex-related ris…

Nutritional profile of the diet according to circadian clock genes in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) chronodiet study Open
Genetic susceptibility to an evening-like chronotype prone to overweight/obesity seems to be associated with a smaller serving size during breakfast, with lower protein and carbohydrate content.

Protein diversity, type 2 diabetes, and effect modifiers: a multi-country prospective study Open
Background Dietary diversity may affect type 2 diabetes (T2D) but no studies have examined protein diversity by source. We examined five diversity scores and the 10-year risk of T2D and effect modification. Methods A prospective study of 1…

Dietary and lifestyle determinants of vitamin D status in the UK Biobank Cohort study for predictive modeling Open
Vitamin D (VD) is involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. The high prevalence of VD deficiency in the population requires stronger preventive measures. The aim was to characterize the dietary and lifestyle determinants of VD…

View article: Associations between dietary mycotoxins exposures and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in a European cohort
Associations between dietary mycotoxins exposures and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in a European cohort Open
Mycotoxins have been hypothesized to contribute to a diversity of adverse health effects in humans, even at low concentrations. Certain mycotoxins are established human carcinogens, whereas for others research suggests potential carcinogen…
Nitrosyl-heme and heme iron intake from processed meats and risk of colorectal cancer in the EPIC-Spain cohort Open
The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified processed meats (PMs) as “carcinogenic” and red meat as “probably carcinogenic” for humans (1) . The possible relationship between colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and processed meats …
Micronutrients, Vitamin D, and Inflammatory Biomarkers in COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Causal Inference Studies Open
Context Experimental and observational studies suggest that circulating micronutrients, including vitamin D (VD), may increase COVID-19 risk and its associated outcomes. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies provide valuable insight into th…
Chrono-Nutrition, Chrono-Type, and the Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Cross-Sectional Study from the EuroPean Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study Open
Background: Previous studies have shown that meal timing, poor sleep quality, and chronotype may play a relevant role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, its relationship with macronutrients by eating occasions …

Molecular Mechanisms Linking Genes and Vitamins of the Complex B Related to One-Carbon Metabolism in Breast Cancer: An In Silico Functional Database Study Open
Carcinogenesis is closely related to the expression, maintenance, and stability of DNA. These processes are regulated by one-carbon metabolism (1CM), which involves several vitamins of the complex B (folate, B2, B6, and B12), whereas alcoh…
Cluster Profiles of Health Metabolic Markers and Vitamin D Open
Vitamin D (VD) is an essential nutrient for which deficiency is highly prevalent and worthy of attention. In fact, VD deficiency may increase the risk of developing chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic…
Disentangling the Immunomodulatory Effects of Vitamin D on the SARS-CoV-2 Virus by In Vitro Approaches Open
