Serum and Hair Nickel Levels and Breast Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - Biological Trace Element Research Several studies have investigated the relationship between serum and hair nickel (Ni) concentration and breast cancer, but the results were inconsistent. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between serum and hair nickel levels and breast cancer. Nine studies determining the serum nickel levels and six studies evaluating the hair nickel levels were identified in a systematic search of PubMed, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, Wanfang, and China Biomedical Literature Service System databases. Based on a random-effects model, standard mean differences (SMD) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled to compare the nickel levels between different groups. Compared with healthy controls, the serum nickel levels in breast cancer were significantly higher (SMD (95% CI) 1.76 (0.82, 2.70)), as well as in those post-treated cases (SMD (95% CI) 2.56 (1.18, 3.94)). For breast cancer cases, the treatment made no significant decrease in serum nickel levels (SMD (95% CI) −0.29 (−1.17, 0.59)). In hair, the nickel levels in breast cancer were slightly higher than in controls, but not significant (SMD (95% CI) 0.16 (−1.08, 1.40)). In conclusion, high serum nickel levels were associated with breast cancer, and nickel exposure might be a risk factor for breast cancer.

Any idea why My Aged Care now have co-payments based on income/assets to help keep the system sustainable while NDIS doesn't? In my opinion, years of NDIS blow out of rorting & unchecked waste is one of the reasons why many elderly are now dealing with unaffordable co-payments. #auspol #agedcare

‘Letting the algorithm rip’: no legal basis for lack of human override of aged care funding tool, inquiry hears Department says it’s received 834 requests for a review of tool’s assessments since it launched in November

Yet, just yesterday, the NDIA sent out a newsletter worded to implicitly frame those raising the same concerns about upcoming NDIS changes – with rules, policy + algorithms overseen by the SAME Department – as untrustworthy.
