Article Synopsis
- The study investigated out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses for hospitalized COVID-19 patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
- A total of nine articles were analyzed, revealing the average OOP expenditure was $308.25, with significant variations across different countries.
- The findings highlight the need for consistent policy recommendations in international forums to mitigate these costs during future pandemics.
Background: We aimed to investigate the relationship between lifestyle status and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components across gender and age groups of the older population, specifically focusing on identifying the association between MetS and lifestyle factors in classified age groups in older individuals.
Methods: Overall, 582 older people with MetS in Yazd (Iran) urban primary health care centers were randomly included from 10 health centers and invited to participate in the study in 2022. During the phone invitation, eligible interested people were asked to refer to health care centers for clinical assessments by trained health researchers.
Article Synopsis
- Trichomonas gallinae is a common protozoan parasite affecting birds and causing avian trichomonosis, with this study focusing on its prevalence and genetic diversity in birds in Tehran, Iran.
- Out of 100 birds examined, 12% were infected: 23.3% of feral pigeons, 7.5% of budgerigars, and 6.66% of finches were found to have the parasite.
- Genetic analysis identified two similar sequences from the ITS2 region and revealed three distinct subtypes through the Fe-hydrogenase gene, suggesting a more complex population structure of T. gallinae and insights into how it adapts to different bird hosts.
Background: Chronic diseases and metabolic disorders are prevalent health concerns that often escalate with increasing age and thus affect older individuals. The proportion of the elderly population in Iran increased from 7.22% in 2006 to 12.
