Diet and bladder cancer: a case-control study.

To investigate possible relationships between diet and risk for bladder cancer in Serbia, the hospital-based case-control study was carried out. This study included 130 newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients and the same number of controls matched by sex, age (%+/-%2 years) and type of residence (rural or urban). Dietary information was obtained by using a food frequency questionnaire. Initial case-control comparisons were based on tertiles of average daily intake of control group. The odds ratios (ORs) were computed for each tertile, with the lowest tertile defined as the referent category. All variables (food items) significantly related to bladder cancer were included in multivariable logistic regression analysis. According to this analysis, risk factors for bladder cancer appeared to be consumption of liver (OR=6.60, 95%CI=1.89-23.03), eggs (OR=3.12, 95%CI=1.10-8.80), pork (OR=2.99, 95%CI=1.16-7.72), and pickled vegetable (OR=3.25, 95%CI=1.36-7.71). A protective effect was found for dietary intake of kale (OR=0.21, 95%CI=0.06-0.73), cereals (OR=0.19, 95%CI=0.06-0.62), tangerines (OR=0.21, 95%CI=0.07-0.68), cabbage (OR=0.27, 95% CI=0.11-0.68), and carrots (OR=0.15, 95%CI=0.05-0.41). The study indicated a potentially important role for dietary fat and pickled vegetables in bladder carcinogenesis. An inverse association was recorded between consumption of fruits, vegetables and cereals, and the development of bladder cancer.

[Diet in bladder cancer ethiopathogenesis].

The aim of this paper is to show influence of different foods on bladder cancer appearance, as well as possible consequent ways of prevention. Consuption of food rich in animal fat and cholesterol, fried foods, especially several times used cookin oil for frying, processed meat with additives (nitrates, nitrites, azo-colourrs) can influence bladder cancer occurrence. Regularly, continous consumption of fermented milk products, which contains come types of milky--acids bacterias, is considered as protective factor in developing bladder cancer. Reports that fruit and vegetable are protective food items are pretty consistent. Data about mineral intake and bladder cancer are obscure.

Fluid intake and bladder cancer. A case control study.

To examine the relation of the total intake of fluids and the types of beverages to the risk of bladder cancer, we conducted a hospital based case-control study with 130 newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients and the same number of matched controls. Information of total fluid intake was derived from the reported frequency of consumption of the different types of beverages on the food frequency questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed in statistical analysis. There was no statistically significant difference between the cases and the controls in total daily fluid intake. Multivariate logistic regression model showed consumption of: soda (OR=8.32; 95%CI=3.18-21.76), coffee (OR=1.46; 95%CI=1.05-2.01) and spirits (OR=1.15; 95%CI=1.04-1.28) as statistically significant risk factors, while mineral water (OR=0.52; 95%CI=0.34-0.79), skim milk (OR=0.38; 95%CI=0.16-0.91), yogurt (OR=0.34; 95%CI=0.12-0.97) and frequency of daily urination (OR=0.27; 95%CI=0.18-0.41) were statistically significant protective variables. In our study no statistically significant association was observed for total fluid intake. The findings suggest consumption of soda, coffee and spirits were indicated as a risk factors for bladder cancer, while mineral water, skim milk, yogurt and frequency of urination as protective factors for bladder cancer.

[Mortality in Serbian males from the most common malignant tumors].

The frequency and distribution of mortality of men in Serbia caused by the most frequent malignant tumors in the period from 1982. to 1991., were shown. Data were taken from the Republic Statistic Center. For the evaluation of the situation the descriptive epidemiological method was used. In that period men mostly died from lung, stomach, prostate, liver, rectum, pancreas, larynx, colon, brain and urinary bladder cancer. In the same period the mortality increase was observed in lung cancer, rectum, pancreas, colon, urinary bladder, brain, larynx and liver. For the cancer of prostate and stomach the decrease of mortality was noticed.

[Mortality in the most common malignant tumors in women in Serbia].

The incidence and mortality rate due to the most common malignant tumors in women in Serbia 1982-1991 were presented. Records from the Republic Institute of Statistics were used as the source of data. Descriptive method was used in epidemiological analysis. Within the period 1982-1991, women in Serbia had died most frequently due to malignant tumors of breast, lung, cervix, rectum, liver, colon, ovary, pancreas and uterine body. Tendency towards increased mortality rate due to the cancer of the breast, cervix, ovary, pancreas, rectum and colon has been registered in this period. Reduced mortality rate was observed in the cancers of uterine body, liver and stomach.

[Social support and family relations in Graves-Basedow disease].

An anamnestic study encompassed 100 new patients with Graves-Basedow's disease and 100 controls matched according to sex, and age (+/-2 years) and place of living (rural/urban). The patients were treated in an out-patient clinic of the Clinical Center of the Medical Faculty, Clinical hospital center "Zvezdara" in Belgrade and in Special institution "Zlatibor" on Zlatibor in the period from May 1st, 1993 to November 1st, 1993. The aim of this study was to estimate the influence of family relationship and social support on the development of Graves-Basedow's disease. The diseased more often lived in an environment of family disharmony (McNemar's test = 3.76; relative risk (RR) = 3.25; 95% confidence limits CL = 1.01-10.68; probability (p) = 0.049) while the controls more often described themselves as nostalgic persons (McNemar's test = 4.96; RR = 0.38; CL (95%) = 0.16-0.89; p = 0.026). The possibility to discuss their personal problems with their relatives and friends (t = 2.29; DF = 99; p = 0.024), the relatives' and friends' interest for their problems and their readiness to help (t = 2.29; DF = 99; p = 0.004) and possibility of the patients to ask for help in case of financial problems (t = 2.78; DF = 99; p = 0.007) were more often present in persons from the control group.

[Risk factors for allergic bronchial asthma].

The paper deals with the current data on aetiological factors of allergic bronchial asthma. The cause of allergic bronchial asthma is unknown. In general, endogenous and environmental factors are though to play a certain role in its development. Early contact with allergic agents, air pollution, tobacco smoking and infective agents (viruses), are considered to be environmental factors. Endogenous factors are heredity of allergic diseases and special susceptibility for bronchial asthma.
