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.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132549223","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}

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.

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.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes &amp; Metabolic Disorders","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116440809","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}
