Synopsis of colorectal cancer: prevalence, symptoms, screening, staging, risk factors, and treatment by Gehan F. Balata, Hany N. Azzam

“…Factors that increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer include exposure to chemicals, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, smoking, family history, genetic mutations, and specific diets. Diets high in fat, consumption of too much iron, sugary beverages, and meals with high sugar content can elevate the risk of CRC, whereas incorporating whole grains, fiber, calcium, vitamin D, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, and green tea into your diet can lower the risk. …”

Metabolic constraints on the evolution of antibiotic resistance by Mattia Zampieri, Tim Enke, Victor Chubukov, Vito Ricci, Laura Piddock, Uwe Sauer

“…Abstract Despite our continuous improvement in understanding antibiotic resistance, the interplay between natural selection of resistance mutations and the environment remains unclear. To investigate the role of bacterial metabolism in constraining the evolution of antibiotic resistance, we evolved Escherichia coli growing on glycolytic or gluconeogenic carbon sources to the selective pressure of three different antibiotics. …”
