Association of Chronic Diseases With Herpes Zoster in China: A Nationwide Population‐Based Survey

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Chronic disease was associated with elevated herpes zoster risk (aOR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.51–2.24). Among 14 chronic conditions, heart disease showed the strongest association (aOR = 2.91, 95% CI: 2.07–4.10), followed by diabetes (aOR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.48–2.80) and hypertension (aOR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.47–2.42).

Dynamics of the association between circulating levels of miRNA and pancreatic cancer risk through the years prior to pancreatic cancer diagnosis

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Early diagnosis is critical for improving pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma prognosis, but few biomarkers currently exist. In a case–control study of 1,307 pancreatic cancer cases and matched pairs nested in prospective cohort studies, 13 miRNA–cancer associations were found to change during the blood‐draw‐to‐diagnosis time window.

Associations of Outdoor Air Pollution With Incidence of Cancers Other Than Lung Cancer in a Large US Prospective Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Associations between outdoor air pollution and cancers other than lung cancer remain unclear, particularly in the context of tobacco use. Here, the authors assessed possible links between ambient air pollutant exposure and incidence of 20 non‐lung cancers among adults followed over a 25‐year period in the United States.
