===== Three ways to make dental care kinder for anxious patients =====

[https://theconversation.com/three-ways-to-make-dental-care-kinder-for-anxious-patients-256925? by Isabel Olegario 4/6/25 THE CONVERSATION]

For many, a visit to the dentist brings fear, anxiety, or memories of uncomfortable experiences. But dentistry is changing – and it’s becoming much kinder.

=====Why coughs can linger long after you recover from an illness=====

[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/why-coughs-can-linger-long-after-you-recover-from-an-illness by Kyle B. Enfielod 17/2/23 PBS NEWS]

When was the last time you walked into a public space and didn’t hear someone coughing? After three years of flinching at the sound, it can be disarming to hear so many people coughing – and embarrassing if it’s you.

=====Patients say keto helps with their mental illness. Science is racing to understand why=====

[https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/01/27/1227062470/keto-ketogenic-diet-mental-illness-bipolar-depression by Will Stone 27/1/24 npr]

Iain Campbell was gazing out the bus window on his way to work when he first sensed something radical was reshaping how he experienced the world.

=====Lifespan: Stories of Illness, Accident, and Recovery=====

[https://www.npr.org/podcasts/645650988/lifespan-stories-of-illness-accident-and-rec by WOUB public Media 9/4/25 npr]

On Lifespan, you’ll hear stories about encounters with the health care system. Each show contains stories bound by a common theme – a person’s personal journey through a particular type of medical trauma

=====Most Inmates With Mental Illness Still Wait For Decent Care=====

[https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/02/03/690872394/most-inmates-with-mental-illness-still-wait-for-decent-care by Christine Herman 3/2/19 npr]

Ashoor Rasho has spent more than half his life alone in a prison cell in Illinois — 22 to 24 hours a day. The cell was so narrow he could reach his arms out and touch both walls at once.

=====Sugar Industry and Coronary Heart Disease Research=====

[https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2548255#google_vignette by Cristin E. Keams 11/16 JAMA Internal Medicine]

Early warning signals of the coronary heart disease (CHD) risk of sugar (sucrose) emerged in the 1950s. We examined Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) internal documents, historical reports, and statements relevant to early debates about the dietary causes of CHD and assembled findings chronologically into a narrative case study.

=====Burden of Disease=====

[https://ourworldindata.org/burden-of-disease by Max Roser 2/24 Our World in Data]

To assess the health of a population, it’s straightforward to focus on mortality, or concepts like life expectancy, which are based on mortality estimates. But this does not take into account the suffering that diseases cause the people who live with them.

=====Infectious Disease Modelling=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/infectious-disease-modelling by ScienceDirect 15/10/24]

Infectious Disease Modelling is a peer-reviewed open access journal aiming to promote research working to interface mathematical modelling, infection disease data retrieval and analysis, and public health decision support. The journal welcomes original research contributing to the enhancement of this interface, and review articles of cutting edge methodologies motivated by and applicable to data collection and informatics for public health decision making and policy.

=====Science, Medicine, and Animals.=====

[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK24649/ by National Library of Medicine]

Today, it is hard for us to fully appreciate the great revolution in medicine known as “germ theory” and the role that animal research played in its development. It seems impossible that people once believed that foul odors could create disease or that “evil spirits” could cause a person to become ill. We have also forgotten how rare it was for parents to see all of their children survive to adulthood. Still, it has been little more than a century and a half since Robert Koch made the discoveries that led Louis Pasteur to describe how small organisms called germs could invade the body and cause disease.

=====Cancer=====

[https://ourworldindata.org/cancer by Saloni Dattani Our World In Data]

Cancer is one of the biggest health challenges worldwide. As of 2021, around 15% of all deaths were cancer deaths, making it one of the most common causes of death globally.

=====Exposure-based assessment and economic valuation of adverse birth outcomes and cancer risk due to nitrate in United States drinking water.=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001393511930218X by Alexis Temkin 9/19 ScienceDirect]

Nitrate ingestion from drinking water has been associated with an increased risk of adverse birth outcomes as well as elevated risk of colorectal cancer and several other cancers. Yet, to date, no studies have attempted to quantify the health and economic impacts due to nitrate in drinking water in the United States.

=====Hair relaxer use and risk of uterine cancer in the Black Women's Health Study=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013935123020327 by Kimberly A. Bertrand 15/12/23 ScienceDirect]

Chemical hair relaxers, use of which is highly prevalent among Black women in the US, have been inconsistently linked to risk of estrogen-dependent cancers, such as breast cancer, and other reproductive health conditions. Whether hair relaxer use increases risk of uterine cancer is unknown.

=====Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412025002338 Meike Mevissen May 2025 ScienceDirect]

More than ten years ago, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published a monograph concluding there was limited evidence in experimental animals for carcinogenicity of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF EMF).

=====Total and added sugar intakes, sugar types, and cancer risk: results from the prospective NutriNet-Santé cohort=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916522008978 by Charlotte Debras Nov.2020 ScienceDirect]

Excessive sugar intake is now recognized as a key risk factor for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In contrast, evidence on the sugar–cancer link is less consistent. Experimental data suggest that sugars could play a role in cancer etiology through obesity but also through inflammatory and oxidative mechanisms and insulin resistance, even in the absence of weight gain.

=====A review on anti-cancer effect of green tea catechins=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1756464620303960 by Zhe Cheng Nov.2020 ScienceDirect]

This article reviewed inhibitory activities of green tea catechins (GTCs) against various tumorigenesis and their suppressive effects on cancer cell progression, metastasis, and angiogenesis according to a great number of kinds of literature, and then summarized the mechanisms of tea catechins-mediated cancer prevention in various cancer types. Special emphasis was placed on summarizing recent research highlighting the related techniques in improving GTCs’ effectiveness in the prevention of tumor progression and/or treatment of cancers.

=====Digestion, absorption, and cancer preventative activity of dietary chlorophyll derivatives=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0271531706002934 by Marion G. Ferruzzi Jan 2007 Science Direct]

The growing body of epidemiological and experimental evidence associating diets rich in fruits and vegetables with prevention of chronic diseases such as cancer has stimulated interest in plant food phytochemicals as physiologically active dietary components.

=====Forget lung, breast or prostate cancer: why tumour naming needs to change=====

[https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00216-3 by Fabrice Andre 31/1/24 nature]

Over the past century, the two main approaches to treating people with cancer — surgery and radiation — have focused on where in the body the tumour is. This has led to medical oncologists and other health-care providers, regulatory agencies, insurance companies, drug firms — and patients — categorizing cancers according to the organ in which the tumour originated. Yet there is a growing disconnect between classifying cancers in this way and developments in precision oncology, which uses the molecular profiling of tumour and immune cells to guide therapies.

=====Cancer-fighting CAR T cells show promising results for hard-to-treat tumours=====

[https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01722-8 by Rachel Fieldhouse 2/6/25 nature]

Trial in China is one of the first times the immune therapy has worked against solid tumours.

=====Opinion: Cancer is not normal or inevitable. We should continue to fight it=====

[https://www.ehn.org/cancer-prevention-2667076588 by Kristina Marusic 25/1/24 EHN]

Suggesting that we should no longer worry about preventing cancer because treatments have gotten better is like saying cars have gotten much safer, so none of us should bother wearing seatbelts anymore.

=====Cancer in wildlife: patterns of emergence=====

[https://www.nature.com/articles/s41568-018-0045-0 by Patricia A. Pesavento 16/8/18 nature reviews]
