Covid-19 was considered as a global health-related challenge within the past years which affect individual’s quality of life in several aspects. It has been suggested that health status including nutritional status, can be one of the most crucial indicators for Covid-19 infection. It seems that poor dietary pattern background and nutritional deficiencies may increase the risk of covid-19 infection. The purpose of this case-report, was to evaluate the relation between dietary pattern and nutritional status with Covid-19 possibility in 64 years old women infected with Covid-19. Before the study, all the health-related indicators were assessed. The results from this study have indicated that previous nutritional status can be a possible cause for immune system weakness and dysfunction, which may be considered as a leading cause of Covid-19 infection. Planning and recruiting nutritional strategies including high quality diet with variety of food groups can provide nutritional requirements. Moreover, supplementation can prescribe according to patients’ nutritional deficiencies.

Objective: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a fundamental polyphenol compound present in green tea. Green tea has been credited for centuries with providing significant health benefits. The aim of this study was to test whether the antioxidant component of EGCG can enhance hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity and consequently increase endogenous antioxidant defense in mice exposed to cardiovascular disease. Groups of male mice were subjected to different diet (standard fat diet, high fat diet and low-fat diet), exercise (voluntary, chronic and sedentary lifestyle) and EGCG supplementation. EGCG powder was dissolved in 4 ml of drinking water to deliver a daily dose of 30 mg/kg.Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane (Abbott, Cham, Switzerland) 2% (v/v) in a 20% O2 and 80% air mixture by inhalation in a closed container, then euthanized by manual cervical dislocation and were put on the animal's bed to collect liver tissue for analysis of antioxidant enzyme activities.We compared the variation in antioxidant enzyme activity between the control and treated groups using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for𝑝-value ˂ 0.05% was considered statistically significant. Results: In this study we showed that mice on a high-fat diet and sedentary lifestyle had significantly decreased superoxide dismutase 1 (p-value = 0, 001 after diets treatment, p-value = 0, 009 after exercise treatment), glutathion peroxidase 1 (p- value = 0, 016 after diets treatment, p-value = 0, 0022 after exercise treatment), catalase (p- value = 0, 019 after diets treatment,p-value = 0,005 after exercise treatment) and thioredoxin reductase 1(p- value = 0,000 after diets treatment, p-value = 0,027 after exercise treatment) activities. EGCG enhanced the activity of antioxidant enzymes in mice subjected to high fat diet or subjected to sedentary lifestyle.

Background: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of visual impairment in patients with diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of DME globally is around 6.8 % and in Ethiopia range from 5.7% to 11%. Different factors are associated with DME including poor glycemic control, longer duration, hypertension, dyslipidemia. Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated factors of diabetic macular edema among diabetic patients attending University of Gondar (UOG) hospital, tertiary eye care and training center, NW Ethiopia Methods:A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to October 2021. Socio-demographic, clinical and laboratory data of patients was gathered. The collected data was entered into epi-data 4.6 version, exported to SPSS version 20 and analyzed. Results: A total of 165 diabetic patients were enrolled with mean age of 54.71 ±13.66 years, 50.9% male, 85.5% urban dwellers, 79.9% type 2 DM,49.7% on oral hypoglycemic agents and the mean duration of diabetes was 7.93 years. Cataract was the commonest ocular morbidity and 42% of patients had at least mild vision impairment. The overall prevalence of DME was 17% and 5.5% of patients had clinically significant macular edema (CSME). The presence of proteinuria was 8.04 times more likely to have DME. Conclusion: The prevalence of DME among our patients was high. The presence of proteinuria was significantly associated with DME. Screening of diabetic patients for sight threatening retinopathy early and appropriate treatment is recommended.

Background and Objective: Repetitive Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) often predisposes CPTSD which affects mental and cardiometabolic health. Early vascular aging (EVA) is the hallmark sign of adverse cardiometabolic health. Smartphone-based cardiovascular optical biomarker (COB) instrumentLyfas captures such risk non-invasively. This study aims to examine two EVA-related COBs such as Arterial stiffness index (ASI) and Vascular aging (VA)in CPTSD and CPTSD with CSA in adults. Method: An IoT-enabled platform is created for the study. Interested visitors enroll and take the CPTSD Check List – Civilian type (PCL-C) self-tests and also fill out an online form related to CSA. The cohorts scoring high for PCL-C encompass Case-I (males and females 189 and 188, respectively)while those having a positive history of CSAcompriseCase-II (males and females 11 and 12, respectively). An equal number of control groups are also considered for each case. All the four groups take Lyfas tests and the COBs are captured from their index finger capillaries using the smartphone’s camera sensor, light, and the technique called arterial photoplethysmography. The EVA-COBs are validated against the ultrasound Doppler and then correlated with the PCL-C scores statistically. Results: The study observes (i) higher anxiety levels in both the genders with the mean SD2/SD1 (anxiety biomarker) in males and females (p-values <0.05), (ii) Lyfas ASI and Doppler’s Acceleration index (AI%) are yielding to each other in males and females, respectively, (iii) High VA in both the genders (p-values <0.05), which are >20, (iv) Mean PCL-C scores of 32.06 and 38 in males and females refer to moderately high CPTSD (p-values <0.05) in the population, (v) risk of EVA in females is twice of males. Conclusions:Lyfas is an assistive biomedical application that can screen and monitor mental health-related cardiometabolic health in the vulnerable population.The VA and ASI are two useful biomarkers. Authors also have linked the biological disorders leading to social aberrations in the CPTSD cases with or without the history of CSA and inferred that CSA further deteriorates the natural coping mechanism of CPTSD.

Background: Obesity has increased rapidly worldwide in last few decades. According to World Obesity Federation 2018, the prevalence of obesity in UAE amongst Emirati aged 18-69 years has been reported as 32.2% vs 38.5% living with obesity vs overweight in men and 41.8% vs 29.3% living with obesity vs overweight in women. There are many myths amongst general public about obesity. Aim: The objective of the study was to address public questions through online forum regarding weight management. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study qualitative analysis was done. It was conducted quarterly at Mediclinic City and Parkview Hospital in Dubai from August 2020-September 2021. An online zoom meeting was made available to the public. People who wanted to attend the session registered via dedicated email address. A certified dietician, endocrinologist and bariatric surgeon were available to answer peoples questions. Results: 6 online forums have been conducted. 163 (range 10-90) people attended. Three themes were constructed during data analysis. 1- Diet: what is the best diet and about caloric intake. 2- Insulin resistance or hormone imbalance is responsible for weight gain. 3- Misinformation and unrealistic expectations about bariatric surgery. Feedback from audience was: it was interactive, fun and informative session, it is good to know that it is not my fault and I need to get help. Conclusion: Our results show that patients need support throughout their weight management journey. Healthcare professionals need to be more aware of patients perceptions about weight management so that they can be addressed in consultations. We need more online support sessions facilitated by healthcare professionals. Key words: obesity, zoom meeting, weight management

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive endocrine and metabolic disorder. To offer new research direction for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), including its pathogenesis and treatment, this research explores the relationship between neopterin (NPT) and polycystic ovary syndrome. 40 cases with PCOS were selected in the reproductive medicine clinics of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University as PCOS group from January 2017 to December 2018. 40 cases with normal pregnancy plan were treated as non-PCOS group, whose menstruation is from 25 days to 35 days. We divided the two groups into two subgroups separately according to their body mass index (BMI): the obese one with BMI≥25kg/m2and non-obese one with BMI<25kg/m2 . The expression levels of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), fasting insulin (FINS), C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil (N), NPT and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in PCOS group were higher than non-PCOS group. CRP, NPT and IL-6 in the obese group were increased than the non-obese group in the pairwise comparison of its subgroups whether in PCOS group or non-PCOS group. In the analysis of linear correlation, NPT was positively correlated with TG, TC, WBC, N, CRP, FINS, IL-6 and TNF-α (P<0.01). Multivariate Stepwise regression analysis found that FINS and IL-6 was the two most important factors. The expression of NPT in PCOS patients was higher than nonPCOS.

Healthy eating and safe exercise are known to help with the management, remission, and prevention of type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, few people are practicing healthy habits, and the prevalence of diabetes is going up. The barriers to overcome include busy lives, resistance to change, feelings of deprivation, unhealthy cultural practices, no referral to certified diabetes care and education specialists, food and medication insecurity, fear of exercise due to the risk of hypoglycemia, and glycemic dysregulation with the wrong choice of exercise. This paper shows that practicing healthy lifestyle habits is the key to improved satiety along with improving most metabolic parameters.

This paper shows that practicing healthy lifestyle habits is the key to improved satiety along with improving most metabolic parameters.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123743264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Older adults with diabetes have a higher risk for hypoglycemia due to altered adaptive physiologic responses to low glucose levels. Patients also have comorbidities, such as cognitive and functional loss, that interfere with prompt identification and/ or appropriate treatment of hypoglycemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diabetic state control on diabetes burden in elderly. Methods: Our study was a case control pilot study conducted on 100 old patients (> 65 years) with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. All patients recruited from Mansoura Specialized Medical Hospital in the period from April 2019 to February 2020. Medical consents were taken from all patients. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those with HBA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin A1c) > 8.5% were the cases group whereas control subjects were those having HBA1c ˂ 8.5%. Calculation of Burden state is based on Elderly Diabetes Burden scale (EDBS); Which is 23-item consisting of 6 subscales including symptom burden, social burden, burden of dietary restrictions, burden of worry about diabetes, burden of treatment dissatisfaction, and burden of treatment. Total score of the scale ranges between 19 and 92. Results: our Study showed no statistically significant difference between two groups regarding serum creatinine, and albumin/creatinine ratio, polyuria, paresthesia, visual disturbance, oedema, chest pain and dyspnea, treatment dissatisfaction, while there was statistically significant difference between two groups regarding fasting Glucose, symptom burden, social burden, dietary restrictions, worry about diabetes, burden by tablets or insulin and total score EDBS being higher in cases than control subjects. Conclusion: EDBS may be a simple and rapid questionnaire to assess effect of diabetes control on quality of life in elderly patients.
