TL;DR: Current knowledge as to the immunological properties of AbM, and its possible clinical use in connection with infections and cancer are reviewed, and some novel findings are presented, which point to highly different biological potency between AbM extracts of different source and manufacturing.
Abstract: Agaricus blazei Murill (AbM) is an edible, medicinal mushroom of Brazilian origin. It is used traditionally against a range of diseases, including cancer and chronic hepatitis, and has been cultivated commercially for the health food market. AbM has recently been shown to have strong immunomodulating properties, which has led to increasing scientific interest. In this article, we review current knowledge as to the immunological properties of AbM, and its possible clinical use in connection with infections and cancer. We also present some novel findings, which point to highly different biological potency between AbM extracts of different source and manufacturing.

TL;DR: It is suggested that traffic noise exposure can increase the risk of central obesity and combined exposure to different sources of traffic noise may convey a particularly high risk.
Abstract: Objectives Limited evidence suggests adverse effects of traffic noise exposure on the metabolic system. This study investigates the association between road traffic noise and obesity markers as well as the role of combined exposure to multiple sources of traffic noise. Methods In a cross-sectional study performed in 2002–2006, we assessed exposure to noise from road traffic, railways and aircraft at the residences of 5075 Swedish men and women, primarily from suburban and semirural areas of Stockholm County. A detailed questionnaire and medical examination provided information on markers of obesity and potential confounders. Multiple linear and logistic regression models were used to assess associations between traffic noise and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and waist–hip ratio using WHO definitions of obesity. Results Road traffic noise was significantly related to waist circumference with a 0.21 cm (95% CI 0.01 to 0.41) increase per 5 dB(A) rise in L den . The OR for central obesity among those exposed to road traffic noise ≥45 dB(A) was 1.18 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.34) in comparison to those exposed below this level. Similar results were seen for waist–hip ratio (OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.14 to 1.45) but not for BMI (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.76 to 1.04). Central obesity was also associated with exposure to railway and aircraft noise, and a particularly high risk was seen for combined exposure to all three sources of traffic noise (OR 1.95; 95% CI 1.24 to 3.05). Conclusions Our results suggest that traffic noise exposure can increase the risk of central obesity. Combined exposure to different sources of traffic noise may convey a particularly high risk.

TL;DR: TSC was negatively associated withrisk of cancer overall in females and risk of cancer at several sites in both males and females and in lag time analyses some associations persisted, suggesting that for these cancer sites reverse causation did not apply.
Abstract: Objective: To investigate the association between total serum cholesterol (TSC) and cancer incidence in the Metabolic syndrome and Cancer project (Me-Can).Methods: Me-Can consists of seven cohorts ...

TL;DR: Both stable shyness and increased shyness in mid-to-late (but not early) childhood predicted poorer social skills and higher levels of anxiety and depression symptoms in early adolescence.
Abstract: This longitudinal, population-based and prospective study investigated the stability, age-related changes, and socio-emotional outcomes of shyness from infancy to early adolescence A sample of 921 children was followed from ages 15 to 125 years Parent-reported shyness was assessed at five time points and maternal- and self-reported social skills and symptoms of anxiety and depression were assessed at age 125 years Piecewise latent growth curve analysis was applied, with outcomes regressed on latent shyness intercept and slope factors Results showed moderate stability and increasing levels of shyness across time, with more variance and a steeper increase in early as compared to mid-to-late childhood Both stable shyness and increased shyness in mid-to-late (but not early) childhood predicted poorer social skills and higher levels of anxiety and depression symptoms in early adolescence The implications of the evidence for two developmental periods in shyness trajectories with differential impact on later socio-emotional functioning are discussed
