Diet Behavior During Covid-19 Period the Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions

Dampak Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) telah mempengaruhi gaya hidup seluruh masyarakat dunia terutama pola konsumsi makanan berbagai kelompok umur. Namun dalam berlarut-larut pandemi covid-19 ini sehingga diterapkan Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) yang berakibat pada perubahan perilaku diet tertentu untuk mengatasi covid-19. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku diet selama covid-19 di masa PPKM. Jenis Penelitian ini adalah survey analitik desain cross sectional study. Responden usia 18 tahun keatas sebagai populasi dan sampel dengan pengambilan sampel secara accidental sampling sebanyak 493 peserta. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner serta teknik analisis data dengan uji-t independen atau analisis ANOVA. Hasil diperoleh sebagian besar peserta melaporkan sendiri bahwa mereka baru-baru ini mengurangi makan di luar serta proporsi orang yang memilih untuk menggunakan suplemen untuk mencegah covid-19 telah meningkat secara substansial selama PPKM sebanyak 275 (55,8%), kurang dari setengah peserta mengikuti perilaku diet yang direkomendasikan, termasuk porsi makanan individu serta peserta yang mengikuti perilaku ini memiliki keragaman makanan yang lebih baik. Kesimpulannya, selama periode PPKM peserta masih mengikuti perilaku diet tertentu untuk mengatasi covid-19. Sementara beberapa perilaku diet diadopsi untuk membantu mencegah penularan seperti menghindari makan bersama serta mengonsumsi multivitamin

Breast-feeding and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer.

Among women who have had the opportunity to breast-feed, ever breast-feeding and increasing durations of episodes of breast-feeding for each breast-fed child are associated with a decrease in the risk of ovarian cancer independent of numbers of births, which may be strongest for the endometrioid subtype

Population attributable fractions for ovarian cancer in Swedish women by morphological type

Using the Swedish Family-Cancer Database, among a total of 1 030 806 women followed from 1993 through 2004, invasive and borderline epithelial ovarian cancer was identified in 3306 and 822 women respectively, with data on family history, reproductive variables, residential region and socioeconomic status. Relative risks and population-attributable fractions (PAFs) were estimated by Poisson regression. The overall PAFs of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer for family history and for reproductive factors were 2.6 and 22.3%, respectively, for serous/seropapillary cystadenocarcinoma (3.0 and 19.1%), endometrioid carcinoma (2.6 and 26.6%), mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (0.5 and 23.9%) and clear-cell carcinoma (2.6 and 73.9%). The corresponding PAFs of borderline tumours due to family history were lower, but higher due to reproductive factors. Family history, low parity and young age at first birth were associated with elevated risks. The risks for women with a family history were among the highest, but these women accounted for the smallest proportion of the cases, giving the lowest PAFs

Twin births, sex of children and maternal risk of ovarian cancer: a cohort study in Norway

In a follow-up of 1 208 001 women aged 20–74 years, no significant association was found between twin births (112 cases) and risk, though those with twin girls had a non-significantly higher risk than those with singleton births; among the latter, those with girls only had a higher risk of endometrioid tumours (incidence rate ratio 1.35; 95% confidence interval 1.03–1.76, based on 475 cases) than women with boys only

Visualization of Radiation Environment on Mars: Assessment with MARIE Measurements

For a given GCR (Galactic Cosmic Ray) environment at Mars, particle flux of protons, alpha particles, and heavy ions, are also needed on the surface of Mars for future human exploration missions. For the past twelve months, the MARJE (Martian Radiation Environment Experiment) instrument onboard the 200J Mars Odyssey has been providing the radiation measurements from the Martian orbit. These measurements are well correlated with the HZETRN (High Z and Energy Transport) and QMSFRG (Quantum Multiple-Scattering theory of nuclear Fragmentation) model calculations. These model calculations during these specific GCR environment conditions are now extended and transported through the CO2 atmosphere onto the Martian surface. These calculated pa11icle flux distributions are presented as a function of the Martian topography making use of the MOLA (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter) data from the MGS (Mars Global Surveyor). Also, particle flux calculations are presented with visualization in the human body from skin depth to the internal organs including the blood-forming organs

A prospective study of postmenopausal hormone use and ovarian cancer risk

The relationship between postmenopausal hormone use (PMH) and ovarian cancer risk is unclear, particularly for specific hormone formulations, but recent studies suggest that there is a positive association. We conducted a prospective observational study with 82 905 postmenopausal women, including 389 ovarian cancers, in the Nurses' Health Study from 1976 to 2002. Compared with never users of PMH, both current and past users of ⩾5 years had a significantly elevated risk of ovarian cancer (RR=1.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–1.86 and relative risk (RR)=1.52, 95% CI 1.01–2.27, respectively). Examined by hormone type in continuous years, use of unopposed estrogen was associated with a significant increase in the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (P for trend <0.001; RR for 5-year increment of use=1.25, 95% CI 1.12–1.38). Use of estrogen plus progestin (RR for 5-year increment of use=1.04, 95% CI 0.82–1.32) was not significantly associated with ovarian cancer risk. Generally, results were similar for serous tumours (RR for 5-year increment of unopposed estrogen use=1.23, 95% CI 1.07–1.40) and slightly stronger for endometrioid tumours (RR for 5-year increment of unopposed estrogen use=1.53, 95% CI 1.20–1.94). Recency of use was not significantly associated with ovarian cancer risk, but statistical power was limited here

Risk of high-grade serous ovarian cancer associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, parity and breast cancer

Background: Ovarian carcinoma is not a single disease, but rather a collection of subtypes with differing molecular properties and risk profiles. The most common of these, and the subject of this work, is high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Methods: In this population-based study we identified a cohort of 441,382 women resident in Western Australia who had ever been admitted to hospital in the State. Of these, 454 were diagnosed with HGSC. We used Cox regression to derive hazard ratios (HRs) comparing the risk of disease in women who had each of a range of medical diagnoses and surgical procedures with women who did not. Results: We found an increased risk of HGSC associated with a diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.04–2.07) but not with a diagnosis of infertility or endometriosis with HRs of 1.12 (95% CI 0.73–1.71) and 0.82 (95% CI 0.55–1.22) respectively. A personal history of breast cancer was associated with a three-fold increase in the rate of HGSC. Increased parity was associated with a reduced risk of HGSC in women without a personal history of breast cancer (HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.44-0.73), but not in women with a personal history of breast cancer (HR 1.48; 95% CI 0.74–2.95). Conclusions: Our finding of an increased risk of HGSC associated with PID lends support to the hypothesis that inflammatory processes may be involved in the etiology of HGSC
