Published 10 August 2019 Data on the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is conflicting, and it is unknown if the incidence is constant, declining, or increasing. Proximal colon cancer is considered to be more common among older individuals, but recent data have shown that rectal cancer and distal colon cancer have been increasing in the younger population. The aim of this study was to determine

Published 11 August 2019 Smoking is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and causes exposure to cadmium, which is a pro-atherosclerotic metal. Cadmium exposure has also been shown to increase the risk of CVD, even after adjustment for smoking. Our hypothesis was that part of the risk of CVD in smokers may be mediated by cadmium exposure from tobacco smoke. We examined this hypothe
