The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) International and the University of Bristol have developed a novel framework for providing an overview of mechanistic pathways and conducting a systematic literature review of the biologically plausible mechanisms underlying exposure-cancer associations. Two teams independently applied the two-stage framework on mechanisms underpinning the association betwe...

The content of heavy metals in fish different ecological groups the conditions Argazinsky reservoir (Russia) has been studied, its safety when used as a product nutrition was given. material study “local” (bream, pike, perch, roach, whitefish) caught by fishermen. determined atomic absorption method. Compared to muscular tissue, bone tissue found accumulate more manganese, zinc, cadmium, lead, ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the joint association of fatness and physical activity on resting blood pressure in children. Subjects included 157 children (age 5.5-9.5 years). Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA, min/day), body fatness, and resting blood pressure were measured. Four categories were created by cross tabulation of high/normal levels of fatness and high/low l...

Multi-node execution is becoming more and more popular for machine learning because of it’s huge amount of computation. The question we are trying to answer here is that, how should we design computer systems for deep learning, especially in terms of investment for the network. Traditional cluster based ’supercomputers’ require huge amount of investment on network switches since the network ’fa...

A data structure is presented for point location in a disjoint set of hyperrectangles in arbitrary fixed dimension with integer coordinates less than U . Point location query times are O(log logU), in any dimension. The space and construction costs are dependent of the fatness of the hyperrectangles stored in the structure. The fatness of a hyperrectangle x is defined to be the size of the smal...

BACKGROUND A recent study reported that the fatness associated A-allele of FTO rs9939609 increased plasma high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels independent of fatness. We aimed to investigate if this gene variant had fatness-independent effects on plasma hs-CRP and 10 additional circulating obesity-related adipokines throughout a broad range of body mass index (BMI) among Danish m...

The paediatric obesity epidemic is well documented. Recently, there has also been the emergence of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) among children and adolescents. Although it is well known that obesity is linked to the metabolic syndrome in youth, the role of physical activity and fitness on the metabolic syndrome is unclear. The purpose of this review was to examine the conce...

To examine whether poor growth in utero or young childhood is associated with adult abdominal fatness in a developing country context, the authors analyzed prospectively collected data on 372 female and 161 male Guatemalans measured as children between 1969 and 1977 and remeasured as adults in 1988-1989 (men and women) and 1991-1994 (women only). Childhood stunting (height-for-age z score) was ...

OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship of anthropometrical indicators of fatness and muscularity with mortality in children in a rural African community. BACKGROUND A prospective cohort study was carried out in the rural health zone of Bwamanda, Northern Congo using a random cluster sample of 5167 children, aged 0-5 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Short- and long-term mortality rates, being de...

Background: Television (TV) viewing in children is associated with a higher body mass index, but it is unknown whether this reflects body fatness, and, if it does, why. Objective: The objective was to investigate whether TV viewing is associated with body fatness, physical activity, and total energy expenditure in preschool children. Design: Eighty-nine children were recruited into a cross-sect...
