Oxidative balance score as predictor of all-cause, cancer, and noncancer mortality in a biracial US cohort

Leukemia, All Cancer, and Acute Myocardial Infarction Risk by Industry and Occupation in 23 US States, 1999, 2003-2004, 2007
Between 4-20% of cancer, 5-10% of heart disease/stroke, and 10% respiratory/other chronic disease have been attributed to occupation, but timely US surveillance data are scarce. Timely data are needed to identify new, or confirm existing risks for occupational cancer and chronic disease death and trends within industrial sectors and special populations.

Effect of Comorbidities and Psychosocial Conditions on HRQOL After Lumbar Spinal Fusion
To investigate the association between comorbidities and its impact on HRQOL scores following spinal fusion surgery. The SF-36, ODI and rating scales (0 to 10) for back and leg pain were administered prospectively to patients who had lumbar spine fusion. Data on 12 medical (diabetes, heart disease, DVT/PVD, hypertension, cancer, kidney disease, asthma, autoimmune diseases, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and stroke) and 5 psychosocial conditions (depression, anxiety, obesity, smoking status, and worker's compensation status) were collected. A Generalized Linear Model was created to test the impact of these comorbidities on ...

Troponin T, B-type natriuretic peptide, C-reactive protein, and cause-specific mortality
Conclusions: Greater levels of Hs-TnT, NT-proBNP and Hs-CRP are associated with increased risk of death, not just from CVD, but also from some noncardiovascular causes.
