The findings regarding trace element concentrations in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls are inconsistent, and therefore, we determined to gather them in the form of a review to further indicate the need for more advanced knowledge development. In our study, we reviewed articles and studies that involved the topics of micronutrient and metal associations with the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes. We mainly included works regarding human-based studies, but with limited research results, animal-based research was also taken into account.

Article Synopsis
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has different causes, including environmental and genetic factors, but recent research suggests a link between various infections and an increased risk of developing OCD.
- The review examined studies published since 1991 that addressed the connection between specific viruses, bacteria, and parasites, and POCD, highlighting several infectious diseases like Herpes, Rubella, and Toxoplasma as potential contributors.
- While a significant relationship was found between infections and OCD risk, further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms and to explore the impact of other pathogens.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, at the same time being one of the most prevalent causes of women's death. Many factors such as alcohol, weight fluctuations, or hormonal replacement therapy can potentially contribute to breast cancer development and progression. Another important factor in breast cancer onset includes micronutrient status.
