TL;DR: The results suggest that genetic variability may contribute to As-associated increases in BP over time.

TL;DR: Results from a U.S. study of American Indians from the Strong Heart Study report that study participants with a urinary arsenic concentration greater than 15.7 μg/g creatinine were 1.65, 1.71, and 3.03 times more likely to die of CVD, coronary heart disease, and stroke, respectively, than their counterparts with urinary arsenic levelsLess precise estimates for lower exposure levels were less precise.

TL;DR: Several metals have carcinogenic properties, but their associations with breast cancer are not established, and studying cadmium, a metalloestrogen, and 9 other metals-arsenic, cobalt, chromium, copper, mercury, molybdenum, lead, tin, and vanadium--in relation to young-onset breast cancer found no statistically significant associations.

TL;DR: The results suggest that miR-26b-5p levels may be prognostic for non-muscle–invasive bladder cancer recurrence, and can feasibly be assessed in baseline tumor tissue from a wide variety of clinical settings.

TL;DR: Biologic process-based analysis suggests candidate susceptibility markers and supports the theory that disrupted hormone regulation plays a role in bladder carcinogenesis.
