CLEVELAND, Ohio (January 23, 2019)--It has been said that a good personality can help one succeed in life. But can it also guard against disease risk? A new study based on data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) shows that positive personality traits, such as optimism, actually may help to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Results are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
Findings from a new study conducted by researchers at Henry Ford Health System suggest a link between keloids and increased risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer, particularly among African Americans. Keloids are benign fibroproliferative tumors, which can result in excessive growths of scar-like tissue on the skin. Keloids have been reported to affect some 11 million people worldwide. Despite this prevalence, the exact cause of keloid formation is unknown.

Less access to care and lower insurance coverage are among the reasons for racial disparities in breast cancer survival in the United States. Eligible beneficiaries in the U.S. Military Health System have insurance and access to care. This study examined whether racial differences existed in time to surgery and whether any differences in that time might explain racial disparities in overall survival between nearly 1,000 black and 3,900 white women diagnosed with breast cancer in the military health system. Researchers report black women had greater estimated time to surgery than white women but that those delays don’t appear to explain racial disparities in survival.
Researchers from Yale School of Public Health find that genetic profiling for cancer tumors is cost-effective for high- and medium-risk patients with breast cancer, but is unlikely to make a meaningful impact on treatment for low-risk patients, in study published in January 2019 issue of JNCCN-Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network

Heart disease is the greatest killer in the world today, and it is widely accepted that our genes interact with traditional lifestyle risk factors, such as smoking, obesity and/or a sedentary life to promote an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, a new study in sheep, publishing January 22 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, by a team from Cambridge University, finds that offspring whose mothers had a complicated pregnancy may be at greater risk of heart disease in later life, suggesting that our cards may be marked even before we are born.

ROCHESTER, Minnesota. — A porcentagem de mulheres examinadas para câncer de colo do útero pode ser muito menor do que os dados dos Estados Unidos sugerem, de acordo com um estudo da Mayo Clinic publicado recentemente no Journal of Women’s Health. Menos de dois terços das mulheres com idades entre 30 e 65 anos estavam em dia com exames de câncer de colo do útero em 2016. O percentual foi ainda menor para as mulheres com idades entre 21 e 29 anos, com pouco mais da metade tendo exames atuais. Esses números estão bem abaixo dos 81% de taxa de cumprimento de exames autodeclarada na 2015 National Health Interview Survey (Pesquisa de Entrevista sobre Saúde Nacional 2015).
