Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on the relationship between two genetic variations in the MTHFR gene, C677T and A1298C, and osteoporosis among Turkish postmenopausal women, analyzing DNA from 200 volunteers.
- * Results indicated that while the A1298C polymorphism is statistically linked to osteoporosis, the C677T variant showed no significant connection; further research is needed with larger samples to explore genetics and environmental influences on osteoporosis.
Aim: There is a lack of an overview of the factors associated with postacute COVID-19 musculoskeletal symptoms. The aims of this study were as follows: 1- to evaluate the most frequent admission symptoms and the frequency of musculoskeletal symptoms in postacute COVID-19 patients; and 2- to determine the related factors with the postacute COVID-19 musculoskeletal symptoms.
Methods: A total of 280 postacute COVID-19 patients (183 females, 97 males) were enrolled and divided into two groups: 1- patients whose musculoskeletal symptoms initiated with or were aggravated by COVID-19 (n = 240); and 2- patients whose musculoskeletal symptoms did not change with COVID-19 (n = 40).
The present study was aimed to investigate the relationship between NOD1/CARD4 and NOD2/CARD15 gene polymorphisms and osteoporosis in the Turkish population. The first time we thought that the functional polymorphisms in NOD1/CARD4 and NOD2/CARD15 genes might have triggered the development of osteoporosis. The objective of our study was to determine the relationship between NOD1/CARD4 and NOD2/CARD15 SNPs and osteoporosis.

Background: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely-used flavor enhancer and stabilizer in ready-made or packaged foods. The excessive use of MSG has been shown to increase oxidative stress in different organ systems and causes glucose metabolism disorders, obesity, and coronary diseases.
Objectives: In this study, the antioxidant activity of tannic acid was investigated experimentally with respect to its protective effects against overdosed MSG-induced oxidative stress in rats.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how well a test called reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) works to find iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
- They compared CHr with other tests that measure iron levels in the blood.
- The results showed that a CHr level of 29 pg or lower can help doctors diagnose IDA in patients.
