Assessment of IL- 35 Gene Polymorphism in Periodontitis Patients with and without Diabetes - A Cross-Sectional Study.

Aim: To evaluate the IL-35 Gene Polymorphism in Periodontitis subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methodology: 96 participants were categorized into three groups, Group 1: Systemically and Periodontally healthy individuals, Group 2: Systemically healthy patients with Generalized chronic periodontitis, Group 3: Generalized chronic periodontitis with type 2 diabetes Mellitus. Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole venous blood samples collected from the participants using The PureLink Genomic Kit.

Interventions to prevent the onset of frailty in adults aged 60 and older (PRAE-Frail): a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Purpose: Frailty in older adults is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes, while evidence on its successful prevention has been scarce. Therefore, we analyzed the effectiveness of different interventions for the prevention of frailty onset.

Methods: In this systematic review, eight databases were searched for randomized controlled trials of interventions in non-frail (i.

Validation of a telephone-based administration of the simplified nutritional appetite questionnaire.

Background: Anorexia of aging is characterized by an age-associated reduction of appetite, whose aetiology in most cases is multifactorial and which often triggers malnutrition. The Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ) is an established screening tool. This study aimed to investigate reliability, validity, and feasibility of its telephone administration (T-SNAQ) in German community-dwelling older adults.

Multiple Genome Wide Association Mapping Models Identify Quantitative Trait Nucleotides for Brown Planthopper () Resistance in MAGIC Population of Rice.

Brown planthopper (BPH), one of the most important pests of the rice () crop, becomes catastrophic under severe infestations and causes up to 60% yield loss. The highly disastrous BPH biotype in the Indian sub-continent is Biotype 4, which also known as the South Asian Biotype. Though many resistance genes were mapped until now, the utility of the resistance genes in the breeding programs is limited due to the breakdown of resistance and emergence of new biotypes.

Emerging Concepts in Nutrient Needs.

Dietary reference intakes (DRIs) are quantitative, nutrient intake-based standards used for assessing the diets and specific nutrient intakes of healthy individuals and populations and for informing national nutrition policy and nutrition programs. Because nutrition needs vary by age, sex, and physiological state, DRIs are often specified for healthy subgroups within a population. Diet is known to be the leading modifiable risk factor for chronic disease, and the prevalence of chronic disease is growing in all populations globally and across all subgroups, but especially in older adults.
