Summary: The overall study did not show a statistically significant correlation between mouthwash use and the risk of SCCHN. The only significant correlation identified was between frequent usage and SCCHN, potentially caused by prolonged contact between some constituents of mouthwash (possibly alcohol) and the oral epithelium.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of reirradiation in patients with locally recurrent oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers. The study included 129 patients with previously irradiated cancer, with the most common primary sites being the nasopharynx, oral cavity, and oropharynx. The median overall survival was 14.4 months and the 2-year overall survival rate was 40.6%. Reirradiation showed promising results for small local recurrences, but strict assessment is needed for large tumors with carotid encasement.

Summary: This meta-analysis aims to assess whether tea intake can reduce the risk of dementia, AD, and VD. The findings show that tea intake is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of these diseases, especially among older individuals, those with less physical activity, APOE carriers, and smokers.

Summary: There is conflicting evidence regarding the association between vitamin E intake and prostate cancer risk. This meta-analysis found little evidence for a beneficial effect of vitamin E intake on prostate cancer risk overall, but suggests that supplements may have a protective effect in certain conditions.

Summary: The meta-analysis confirms a positive association between periodontitis and oral HPV infection, although the overall quality of evidence is low. Evidence for an association between periodontitis and high-risk oral HPV infection is inconclusive.

Summary: A meta-analysis of observational studies found that milk intake during childhood and adolescence may not be associated with risks of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer later in life. More studies are needed to reach a definitive conclusion.

Summary: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) have been shown to be prognostically significant in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC), with high stromal TIL, CD8+ TIL, and CD3+/CD4+ TIL associated with better clinical outcomes. Evaluation of TIL in HE sections and assessment of CD3+, CD4+, and/or CD8+ TIL levels may serve as predictive markers for patient prognosis in LSCC.

Summary: The presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) in tea poses a potential health risk, although their specific source is still unclear. This study analyzed 88 dried tea products from six major tea-producing areas in Anhui Province, China. The detection frequency of PAs was found to be 76%. The levels of total PAs in dried tea were below the recommended maximum residue limit by the European Union. The transfer of specific PAs from weeds and soil to tea plants was observed, but the risk of PAs in tea infusion was found to be low.

Summary: This study evaluated the global incidence, mortality, risk factors, and temporal trends of lip, oral, and pharyngeal cancer. Results showed that the highest incidence rates were found in Melanesia and South-Central Asia, with mortality rates of 8.2 and 7.5. Risk factors associated with incidence and mortality included HDI, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, poor diet, and chronic health conditions. Overall, global incidence and mortality rates have decreased, but there are significant increases in older age groups and female subjects.

Summary: This study found an association between olive oil consumption and a lower risk of cancer and better prognosis. Higher olive oil consumption was correlated with a decreased likelihood of developing any cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, upper aerodigestive cancer, and urinary tract cancer.

Summary: This meta-analysis examined the association between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and cognitive disorders. The results showed a positive association between SSB intake and the prevalence of cognitive disorders, particularly in cohort studies, middle-aged and elderly populations, and individuals who consumed sugar-sweetened soft drinks.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between the consumption of salted fish and processed foods and the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The findings showed a consistent linear relationship between the intake of these foods and the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The risk was higher for high intake compared to low intake. Significant heterogeneity existed in the data, but decreased after subgroup analysis.
