Infection-related hospitalization during childhood is independently associated with adverse adult metabolic variables

Serious Childhood Infection Tied to Metabolic Disease Later in Life

Early childhood hospitalization for infection tied to increased BMI, metabolic syndrome in adulthood
Smoking is a risk factor for clear cell and papillary renal cell carcinoma

Smoking Ups Risk of Some Renal Cell Cancer Histological Subtypes

Higher risk for clear cell, papillary renal cell carcinoma, but not chromophobe histology
A drop in carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels of more than 10 percent after two rounds of chemotherapy is associated with longer survival in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Antigen Level Signals Response to Chemo for Pancreatic Cancer

Overall survival, time to progression longer with early drop of >10 percent in carbohydrate antigen 19-9
Deleterious mutations in RAD51C and RAD51D genes are associated with increased risk of epithelial ovarian cancer

RAD51 Mutations Confer Moderate Risk of Ovarian Cancer
