Reply to Even a single bout of exercise can produce anti-cancer proteins called myokines, which can significantly suppress tumour growth by giuliomagnifico

Not an analyze on a very big number of patients (nine):

> Nine patients with late-stage prostate cancer performed 34 minutes of high intensity exercise on a stationary cycle, with blood serum collected immediately before and after, and then again 30 minutes post-workout.

>The team found the serum obtained immediately after this “dose” of exercise contained elevated levels of anti-cancer myokines resulting in suppressed growth of prostate cancer cells in vitro by around 17 per cent.

>Serum myokine levels and cancer suppression returned to baseline after 30 minutes

Reply to Researchers say e-cigarettes and similar devices are associated with a higher risk for dental cavities by giuliomagnifico

>Data from 13,216 patients were included in the data set initially; 13,080 responded “no” when asked whether they used e-cigarettes or vapes (99.3%), and 136 responded “yes” (0.69%). There was a statistically significant difference (P < .001) in caries risk levels between the e-cigarette or vape group and the control group; 14.5%, 25.9%, and 59.6% of the control group were in the low, moderate, and high caries risk categories, respectively, and 6.6%, 14.3%, and 79.1% of the e-cigarette or vape group were in the low, moderate, and high caries risk categories, respectively
