Acne Vulgaris (AV) is a multi-factorial skin disorder that affects many people. Several dietary factors are associated with AV. \u0000Objectives: Different findings on glycemic indices led us to investigate the effect of the dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) on AV by a systematic review and meta-analysis. \u0000Methods: Observational studies and clinical trials were extracted from PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The mean ± Standard division (SD) for acne grading in clinical trials and the mean ± SD GI or GL of the diet for observational studies were used for meta-analysis. \u0000Results: We found that nine out of 15 studies were eligible for systematic review clinical trials (N = 3) and observational studies (N = 6) designs. The meta-analysis of three studies clinically assessed the effect of GI/GL on acne and showed that a diet with lower GI/GL reduced the acne severity (Hedges’g = -0.91, 95% CI: -1.57, -0.25, P = 0.007). The analysis of six observational studies showed that dietary habit with higher GI might not affect the acne severity in patients with AV (Hedges’g = 0.07, 95%CI: -0.23, 0.38, P = 0.636), but individuals with higher acne severity had a diet with higher GL (Hedges’g = 0.64, 95%CI: 0.01, 1.26, P = 0.045). \u0000Conclusions: Diet, as a part of life style, is associated with AV. Adherence to lower GL diet may reduce the severity of AV. Further well-designed clinical trials are required to confirm these results.","PeriodicalId":138934,"journal":{"name":"Critical Comments in Biomedicine","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123800013","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}

Beverages are one of the major components of habitual dietary habits that may influence the symptoms of FGIDs. \u0000Objective: The purpose of this study was to review the effect of frequent dietary fluids on common causes of FGIDS including functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional constipation (FC). Methods: A literature search was done using the following search engines: PubMed, Google Scholar and ISI web of science with the following search terms “beverages”, tea”, “caffeine”, “coffee”, “milk”, “water”, “fruit juice”, “carbonated beverage”, “constipation”, “irritable bowel syndrome”, “gastroesophageal reflux disease”, “dyspepsia”,. \u0000Results: In this review, 85 studies were evaluated. It was shown that to higher intakes of caffeinated drinks, fruit juice, milk, soft drinks and carbonated beverages are associated with aggravating symptoms in GERD, IBS and FD. The data on the relation between water consumption with GERD, IBS and FD are limited and inconsistent. However, consumption of fruit juices and water was related to an improvement in constipation. \u0000Conclusion: Fluid intake can be effective in the management of FGIDs symptoms. However, further investigation on the role of various fluids consumption on symptoms of FGIDS is required.","PeriodicalId":138934,"journal":{"name":"Critical Comments in Biomedicine","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116968708","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}

Due to the high cost of manufacturing and developing new drugs, there is more willingness to use medications that may have anti-neoplastic effects. \u0000Objectives: Antipsychotic drugs have a long history of clinical use. Currently, there are several reports about the anticancer effects of antipsychotic drugs in different types of malignancies. \u0000Methods: In this study, the effects and mechanisms of several antipsychotic drugs on different types of cancer were investigated. The current investigations show that some antipsychotic drugs might inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and some others can be used to ease the symptoms caused by cancer. \u0000Results: The anticancer effects of all antipsychotic drugs haven’t been thoroughly investigated and it is reported that few drugs may reverse the effects and increase the risk of neoplasm.
