The effect of the tongue in groove technique on the nasolabial angle and nasal tip projection.

Background: The tongue in groove technique (TIG) is a useful technique for the correction of the nasal tip projection and the nasolabial angle. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of this technique for nasal tip rotation and projection correction in the Iranian society.

Methods: This is a retrospective clinical trial study of 20 patients undergoing open septo-rhinoplasty using TIG technique from January 2017 to August 2019 at the oral and maxillofacial unit of Bu Ali Hospital and private sector.

Gene-diet interaction of FTO-rs9939609 gene variant and hypocaloric diet on glycemic control in overweight and obese adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials.

Background: The hypocaloric diets improve glycemic status in obese individuals, but the response to hypocaloric diets in fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO)-rs9939609 gene variant is unknown. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the gene-diet interaction of FTO-rs9939609 gene variant and hypocaloric diets on glycemic control in overweight and obese adults.

Methods: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Google scholar were searched up to December 2018, for relevant clinical trials.

The relationship between adherence to a Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern and insomnia.

Background: Adherence to a DASH- style diet has been reported to be associated with several health-related outcomes. A limited number of reports suggest that diet is an important behavioral determinant of insomnia. The current study aimed to explore the relationship between adherence to a DASH diet and the prevalence of insomnia in adolescent girls.

High dose vitamin D supplementation is associated with an improvement in serum markers of liver function.

Limited studies have examined the effects of vitamin D on liver enzymes in patients with liver disease but none has explored its effects in the healthy subjects. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of a high dose vitamin D supplementation on measures of liver function. A total of 988 adolescent girls were recruited; all were assessed for liver function tests (LFTs) including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), gamma-glutamyl transferase (ϒGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, albumin, and total protein before and after supplementation with 50,000 IU cholecalciferol perls.

Evaluation of Physicochemical and Antioxidant Properties of Yogurt Enriched by Olive Leaf Phenolics within Nanoliposomes.

Olive leaf extract is a rich source of phenolic compounds and oleuropein which is well-known regarding its antioxidant and antimicrobial attributes. However, the mentioned phenolic compounds will lose their beneficial properties during storage and induce undesirable aftertaste in food products. In this study, olive leaf extract-bearing nanoliposomes were produced via the ethanol injection method and using phosphatidyl choline plus cholesterol as the reagents for the wall material.

The effect of nano-silver packaging in increasing the shelf life of nuts: An model.

Nano packaging is currently one of the most important topics in food packaging technologies. The aim of the application of this technology in food packaging is increasing shelf life of foods by preventing internal and external corruption and microbial contaminations. Use of silver nanoparticles in food packaging has recently attracted much attention.
