Dietary Acid Load and Bladder Cancer Risk: An Epidemiologic Case-Control Study
Introduction: Dietary acid load contributes to metabolic acidosis, closely linked to cancer development through inflammation and cell transformation. There is very limited epidemiologic evidence; linking diet-dependent acid load and cancer risk. Since there are few published studies specifically on urinary pH and bladder cancer (BC) risk, we sought to explore this association in the present stud...

In recent years there has been significant progress in our understanding of the pathogenesis and clinical co...
متن کاملHeart involvement in systemic sclerosis: an ultrasonic tissue characterisation study.
BACKGROUND Clinicoepidemiological findings indicate that symptomatic heart involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) predicts a very poor prognosis. At necropsy studies, SSc heart involvement without significant coronary lesions is characterised by patchy myocyte necrosis and contraction band necrosis with collagen replacement leading to myocardial fibrosis. There is a discrepancy b...
