New way to prevent duodenal cancer

People with the hereditary disease familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have a greatly increased risk of developing a malignant tumor of the duodenum. Researchers have now discovered a mechanism in the local immune system that can drive the development of cancer. They see this as a promising new approach to preventing duodenal carcinoma in people with FAP.

Hotter and drier climate in Colorado’s San Luis Valley contributes to kidney disease in agriculture workers, new study shows

Heat and humidity contributed to kidney damage and disease in the San Luis Valley in Colorado ^[1] between 1984 and 1998, according to our recently published work in the peer-reviewed journal ^[2] Weather, Climate, and Society.

The San Luis Valley is the largest high valley desert ^[3] in North America. Many of its residents work in agriculture and are exposed to worsening air quality ^[4]. That decline is due to increased wildfires,...
