Impact of maternal and offspring smoking and breastfeeding on oesophageal cancer in adult offspring by Yixue Wang, Hongru Sun, Gen Li, Jingxue Xu, Siyu Wang, Shijie Zhang, Tianle Zhou, Tianshu Han, Changhao Sun, Jianqun Ma, Xiaoyuan Wang, Hang Yin

“…Using UK Biobank data, we explore the association among breastfeeding, maternal smoking, smoking in offspring, and oesophageal cancer risk in adult offspring via multivariable Cox regression. Here, we show that being breastfed, compared with not being breastfed, is associated with a lower risk of oesophageal cancer incidence (HR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.70–0.98) and mortality (HR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.61–0.89) in adult offspring. …”

Breastfeeding duration: does parity influence? A longitudinal investigation: the pro-saude study by REBECA N.M. DA SILVA, EDUARDO FAERSTEIN

“…Characteristics such as maternal age and mode of delivery are relevant, especially among primiparous mothers, while maternal education and household income have a positive impact on breastfeeding duration. The use of the Cox model to analyze breastfeeding duration highlights the need for further investigation into the factors influencing this practice, especially considering the decrease in breastfeeding duration among children born in the 1990s and 2000s. …”

Xenomonitoring of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) for the Presence of Filarioid Helminths in Eastern Austria by Sarah Susanne Übleis, Claudia Cuk, Michaela Nawratil, Julia Butter, Ellen Schoener, Adelheid G. Obwaller, Thomas Zechmeister, Georg G. Duscher, Franz Rubel, Karin Lebl, Carina Zittra, Hans-Peter Fuehrer

“…Overall, DNA of D. repens, Setaria tundra, and two unknown filarioid helminths were documented in twenty mosquito pools within the mitochondrial cox1 gene (barcode region). These results indicate that S. tundra, with roe deer as definite hosts, is common in Eastern Austria, with most occurrences in floodplain mosquitoes (e.g., Aedes vexans). …”
