Summary: This meta-analysis found no clear evidence to support the association between cholecystectomy and an increased risk of colorectal cancer. For patients with valid indications, timely cholecystectomy could be performed without the risk of colorectal cancer.

Summary: This meta-analysis comprehensively assessed the levels of zinc, copper, iron, and selenium in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy controls. The results showed that SLE patients had lower levels of zinc and iron, higher levels of copper, and no significant difference in selenium compared to healthy controls. Further studies are needed to investigate the mechanisms of zinc, copper, and iron in SLE patients.

Summary: Limited data suggest that patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). This prospective study examined the risk of T2D among individuals with and without CRC in three large cohorts and conducted a meta-analysis. The findings showed that individuals with CRC were more likely to develop T2D compared to those without CRC. The meta-analysis also demonstrated a higher risk of T2D associated with CRC. The association between CRC and T2D was most significant in the first ten years after CRC diagnosis.

Summary: This meta-analysis indicates that cancer survivors have a relatively higher risk of stroke compared to cancer-free populations, especially among female survivors, younger individuals, and those with shorter cancer survival duration. Survivors are more prone to ischemic stroke. Due to substantial heterogeneity among the studies, caution is needed in interpreting the results.

Summary: Smoking has been consistently associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, particularly in Japanese men and women. The study showed a dose-response relationship between smoking and CRC risk, with higher risks observed in male participants for overall CRC, colon, and rectal cancer. There was no significant gender difference in the association between smoking and CRC risk.

Summary: A meta-analysis of cohort studies demonstrated a positive association between hysterectomy and subsequent kidney cancer risk. Further large prospective studies with long-term follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effects of anthraquinone (AQ) laxatives on colorectal cancer (CRC). The results from 8 observational studies and 5 meta-analysis studies suggested a possible association between AQ laxative use and CRC development, although not statistically significant. Further high-quality studies are needed to investigate this issue.

Summary: This meta-analysis study suggests that high consumption of dairy products, especially high/whole-fat milk, is associated with higher cancer mortality. However, fermented milk consumption is inversely associated with cancer mortality.

Summary: Vitamin D intake is associated with the prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC), showing a significant lower risk in case-control studies. However, larger and high-quality prospective studies and clinical trials are needed to confirm this association.

Summary: The meta-analysis of 22 articles suggests that individuals with ADHD may have lower levels of zinc, especially in terms of serum/plasma zinc levels. Screening for zinc levels in ADHD patients could be beneficial based on the current findings. Further well-designed studies are necessary to clarify the role of zinc in the etiology of ADHD.
