The healthy lifestyle index (HLI), defined as the unweighted sum of individual lifestyle components, was used to investigate the combined role of lifestyle factors on health-related outcomes. We introduced weighted outcome-specific versions of the HLI, where individual lifestyle components were weighted according to their associations with disease outcomes. Within the European Prospective Investigation ...

Advancements in digital pathology and computing resources have made a significant impact in the field of computational pathology for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, access to high-quality labeled histopathological images of breast cancer is a big challenge that limits the development of accurate and robust deep learning models. In this scoping review, we identified the publicly ...

Introduction - There are many risk factors for obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASIS) and the interaction between these risk factors is complex and understudied. The many observational studies that have shown a reduction of OASIS rates after implementation of perineal support have short follow-up time. We aimed to study the effect of integration of active perineal support and lateral episiotomy on ...

Background: Life satisfaction, an integral part of subjective well-being, is based on our cognitive assessment of our life's aim and achievement (1, 2). Previous studies have assessed life satisfaction primarily among adults, but there is a paucity of studies among adolescents (3-5). Also, research among adults involves factors such as job satisfaction, workplace ties, married life, and having ...

Background: Patient harm from unsafe healthcare resulting in medical errors is an increasing global health challenge, ranking among the top causes of mortality on a global basis. These incidents often stem from clinical process failures, with a substantial proportion directly attributed to miscommunication and communication breakdowns. Numerous healthcare providers have admitted to having caused ...

Objective: Health complaints attributed to dental amalgam fillings comprise both intraoral and general health complaints. There are data suggesting that patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) attributed to amalgam fillings show improvement in symptoms after removal of all amalgam fillings. However, data indicating changes of specific health complaints are limited. This study ...

Worldwide, ovarian cancer is the 8th most common cancer type for women. According to The World Cancer Research Fund, the research on the associations between intake of fat and risk of ovarian cancer is limited. The aim was to study the possible associations between the intake of total fat, trans fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol ...

This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary study with the aim of assessing the potential combined risk from consuming locally harvested food products in the Euro-Arctic region of Norway, Finland, and Russia. The three important contaminant groups—radioactive substances, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs)—were measured in food samples such as berries, mushrooms, fish, ...

Background: Physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of mental health problems. However, there is limited knowledge of the influence of PA on psychological distress (PD) in a Sami population. Aim: to investigate the association between PA levels and PD among a Sami and non-Sami population in Norway, and if the association differed between gender in both ethnic groups. Materials/methods: Data from ...

<p>Introduction: Adult attained height has been associated with breast cancer incidence consistently in the literature. The inclusion of covariates to adjust the regression models is widely used as a tool for controlling for error in models and reducing bias. However, several epidemiological studies regarding height have not accounted for confounding variables in their analysis. <p>Material and ...
