TL;DR: In this analysis, cigarette smokers were classified by the amount of tar and nicotine delivered by the brand they usually smoked at the start of each of two 6-year periods, and the death rates of subjects who smoked “low” tar-nicotine cigarettes were far higher than thedeath rates of Subjects who never smoked regularly.

TL;DR: The 2005 Dietary Guidelines Adherence Index (DGAI) demonstrated a reasonable variation in this population of adult Americans, and by design this index was independent of energy consumption.
Abstract: The sixth edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) was released in January 2005, with revised healthy eating recommendations for all adult Americans. We developed the 2005 Dietary Guidelines Adherence Index (DGAI) as a measure of adherence to the key dietary intake recommendations. Eleven index items assess adherence to energy-specific food intake recommendations, and 9 items assess adherence to "healthy choice" nutrient intake recommendations. Each item was scored from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 1, depending on the degree of adherence to the recommendation. A score of 0.5 was given for partial adherence on most items or for exceeding the recommendation for energy-dense food items. The DGAI was applied to dietary data collected at the fifth examination of the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. The mean DGAI score was 9.6 (range 2.5-17.50). Those with higher DGAI scores were more likely to be women, older, multivitamin supplement users, and have a lower BMI and less likely to be smokers. The DGAI demonstrated a reasonable variation in this population of adult Americans, and by design this index was independent of energy consumption. The DGAI also demonstrated face validity based on the observed associations of the index with participant characteristics. Given these attributes, this index should provide a useful measure of diet quality and adherence to the new 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

TL;DR: In this article, the possibility to dramatically inhibit deposit formation in high oleic sunflower oil using 1 % wt. of proprietary antioxidant is demonstrated, resulting in oxidative stability comparable to 10W30 SG-grade commercial crankcase lubricant.
Abstract: Environmental concerns resulted in the utilization of vegetable oils as a possible replacement of mineral oil basestocks. Their low oxidative stability is often a major concern. Data from the Klaus Penn State microreactor test on steel surfaces at 225°C demonstrate that uninhibited high oleic vegetable oils are much poorer in oxidative stability than neat mineral oils. Nevertheless, they show an advantage of low volatility. The possibility to dramatically inhibit deposit formation in high oleic sunflower oil using 1 % wt. of proprietary antioxidant is demonstrated, resulting in oxidative stability comparable to 10W30 SG-grade commercial crankcase lubricant. Addition of ZDDP reduces the effect of the antioxidant but greatly improves antiwear properties of the fluid, as demonstrated by the four-ball wear test. Neat high oleic sunflower oil shows better lubricity than neat mineral oil and its formulation with the antioxidant and ZDDP is superior to commercial crankcase lubricant in antiwear properties.

TL;DR: A subject matter expert group convened to review current literature and practice patterns, identify opportunities and gaps regarding cancer rehabilitation and its support of oncology care, and make recommendations for future efforts that promote quality cancer rehabilitation care are made.

TL;DR: The increased risk of endometrial cancer across the range of BMI in women who never used postmenopausal HT stresses the need to prevent both overweight and obesity in women.
Abstract: Epidemiologic studies unequivocally show that greater body mass increases the risk of endometrial cancer, but whether risk varies by use of postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT), location of fat deposition, or cancer subtype is still unclear. We examined these associations among 33,436 postmenopausal women in the Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort, who completed questionnaires on diet, lifestyle, and medical history at baseline in 1992. A total of 318 cases were eligible through June 2003. Cox-proportional hazards analyses were used to estimate multivariate-adjusted rate ratios (RR). As expected, adult body mass index (BMI) was a strong predictor of risk [RR, 4.70; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.12-7.07 for BMI 35+ versus 22.5-25.0, P trend or =35 versus 22.5-25.0, P trend or =30 versus <25.0) increased risk of both "type I" (classic estrogen pathway, RR, 4.22; 95% CI, 3.07-5.81) and "type II" (serous, clear cell, and all other high grade) cancers (RR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.59-5.16). The increased risk of endometrial cancer across the range of BMI in women who never used postmenopausal HT stresses the need to prevent both overweight and obesity in women.
