TL;DR: Investigation of the relationship between dietary components and risk of colon cancer in the La Plata area of Argentina confirms those of several previous studies and is of particular interest, since the Argentinean diet typically includes a high intake of red meat.
Abstract: A case-control study has been conducted to investigate the relationship between dietary components and risk of colon cancer in the La Plata area of Argentina. Cases are 110 patients newly diagnosed with colon cancer in 10 major hospitals between 1985 and 1986. Two neighbourhood controls per case were individually matched by age, sex and place of residence. Personal interviews elicited information on frequency of consumption of 140 food items during the 5-year period up to 6 months prior to interview. Risk is analyzed by quartiles of individual food items and groups of items. Multivariate conditional logistic regression modelling indicates that consumption of eggs is associated with increased risk for colon cancer (odds ratios by quartile: 1.0, 1.58, 2.02, 4.66), as are some dairy products (ORs of 1.93 for the highest quartile of consumption of cheese). Intake of vegetables, fish and poultry is associated with statistically significant decreasing risk (ORs of 0.075, 0.39 and 0.39, for the highest categories of consumption of vegetables, fish and poultry, respectively). The risk for red meat does not consistently increase as consumption increases. Risks are not altered by the inclusion of potential confounders such as education or body mass index. These findings confirm those of several previous studies and are of particular interest, since the Argentinean diet typically includes a high intake of red meat.

TL;DR: In this article, structural and optical characterization of mechanically milled ZnO powders is presented, showing that the application of mechanical milling is a very effective and simple technique to produce nanocrystalline powders, with the possibility of obtaining large quantities of materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the aggregate-matrix interface on the macroscopic fracture parameters of concrete is investigated, and the results show that concretes with the same matrix and aggregates, and similar behaviour under uniaxial compression, can give very different fracture responses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the effect of the specimen size, the specimen shape and the width of the load-bearing strips on the conventional splitting tensile strength, f st, and showed that f st can hardly be assumed to be a material property.
