A low level of physical activity has a potential association with high levels of homocysteine, which implies an increased chance of older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/CHIR-258.html TKI-258] However, the effects of physical activity on homocysteine levels have been poorly explored in the literature. Therefore, this study compared homocysteine levels and cardiovascular risk among physically active and inactive older women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Fifty-nine women with type 2 diabetes mellitus, between 60 and 91 years old, were evaluated. The level of physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) long version to identify active and inactive older women. Blood samples were collected and anthropometric, body composition, and blood pressure measurements were performed to determine homocysteine levels and cardiovascular risk. The results demonstrated that active older women with type 2 diabetes mellitus have lower homocysteine values (F = 17.79, p  less then  0.001, ηp2 = 0.238), cardiovascular risk scores (F = 15.84, p = p  less then  0.001, ηp2 = 0.217), and waist circumferences (F = 2.95, p = 0.013, ηp2 = 0.049) when compared with inactive older women. It was concluded that there was a difference in the levels of homocysteine, cardiovascular risk, and waist circumference between active and inactive older women with type 2 diabetes. Active older women are less likely to have cardiovascular risk than inactive older women.<br /><br /> study the bibliometrics indicators of Iranian authors in the field of obesity and Correlation Comparison between conventional citation counts and altmetrics scores from 2005 to 2019.<br /><br /> The study uses bibliometric characteristics and altmetric analysis. Population consists of 5359 articles out of 8220 in the field of obesity which have specified Iran as the affiliated country and indexed by Scopus between 2005 to 2019. Citations was extracted from Scopus database and visualized bibliographic data by VOS viewer software version 17, as well as Altmetric Explorer was applied for altmetrics data. The spearman correlation was used to analyze distributions of altmetrics and citation. Statistical analysis was utilized using SPSS software version 17.<br /><br /> According to altmetrics finding among 2221 articles, 90% of articles had focused on different social media. The major interaction of researches has taken place in Twitter respectively News and Facebook. a positive correlation (r = 0.31) has been found between citation some medical papers. Our findings can help international communications for scientific collaboration at the level of business and health care industry, and emergency managers gain a comprehensive understanding of the research area.<br /><br /> To examine the prevalence and determinants of vitamin D deficiency in Iranian children and adolescents.<br /><br /> We used data from a national school-based surveillance program conducted among 7-18-year-old children and adolescents living in rural and urban areas in 30 provinces of Iran. Data on student's lifestyle, health behaviors, and health status was obtained through a validated questionnaire. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH-D) level was measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25-OH-D concentrations &lt; 30 ng/ml. Determinants of vitamin D deficiency were identified using logistic regression analysis.<br /><br /> Data of 2,596 participants were available for this study. Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 71.1 % (95 % Confidence interval (CI) 69.3-72.8 %), without significant difference between boys and girls (72.0 % vs. 70.1 %, respectively, p = 0.29). In the multivariate regression model, in both genders, those who reported having sun exposure for at least 30 min/day and those taking vitamin D supplementation had lower odds for vitamin D deficiency (all p values &lt; 0.05). In boys, obesity increased the odds of vitamin D deficiency (adjusted OR, 95 % CI 1.57, 1.08-2.27). The association of vitamin D deficiency with other demographic characteristics and food items was not statistically significant.<br /><br /> This large population-based study revealed a high frequency of hypovitaminosis D in Iranian children and adolescents. Sun exposure for at least 30 min/day and taking vitamin D supplementation may reduce the risk of vitamin D deficiency.<br /><br />This large population-based study revealed a high frequency of hypovitaminosis D in Iranian children and adolescents.

The sample number of this study was 156 using a purposive sampling technique. The research group was divided into three groups. The variables measured in this study were ABPI, foot sensation, and foot exercise experience. The statistical analysis was conducted by a paired-sample t-test, an independent-sample t-test, and a two-way Manova<br /><br /> <br /><br /> The results showed that each group had a difference in how ABPI and foot sensation were influenced (<br /><br />  = 0.000). Additionally, audiovisual and group support foot exercises have been shown to influence ABPI (p = 0.000) and foot sensation (p) = 0.000).<br /><br /> Audiovisual and group support foot exercises significantly influenced the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index value and foot sensation in diabetic mellitus patients. This intervention is encouraged for diabetic mellitus patients who would like to see the benefits of exerciseand group support.<br /><br />Audiovisual and group support foot exercises significantly influenced the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index value and foot sensation in diabetic mellitus patients.

Hence the present study is aimed to identify PPAR-γ regulators from <br /><br /> Blanco and predict their role to manage T2DM.<br /><br /> Multiple <br /><br /> tools and databases like SwissTargetPrediction, ADVERPred, PubChem, and MolSoft, were used to retrieve the information related to bioactives, targets, druglikeness character, and probable side effects as applicable. Similarly, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database was used to identify the regulated pathways. Further, the bioactives-protein-pathways network interaction was constructed using Cytoscape. Finally, molecular docking was performed using Autodock4.<br /><br /> Twenty-five bioactives were shortlistedin which six were predicted as PPAR-γ modulators. Among them, stigmasterol was predicted to possess the best binding affinity towards PPAR-γ and possessed no side effects. Similarly, n-hexadecanoic acid was predicted to modulate the highest number of proteins, and protein CD14 was targeted by the highest number of bioactives.
