Physical activity and gastric cancer: so what? An epidemiologist's confession.
نویسنده
چکیده
Epidemiologists, like many scientists, tend to become specialized and focused on a particular disease, even though behavioral risk factors such as physical activity have effects across many diseases. This commentary is a personal reflection by an epidemiologist on the shortcomings of this disease-oriented approach to prevention.

Increased Expression of CYP2E1 Gene in Gastric Cancer May be a Molecular Marker for Mazandaran Province Population
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme metabolically activates a large number of low molecular mass xenobiotics probably involved in gastric cancer incidence through activation of procarcinogens. North of Iran is amongst high incidence rate areas of gastric carcinoma where environmental carcinogenic compounds, including agricultural pesticides, are massively used. In this report, we quantitatively...
