Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare the impact of the mobilization techniques and mobilization with movement techniques on static balance in individuals with acute inversion ankle sprain.
Methods: Volunteers with acute inversion ankle sprain ( = 40) were equally and randomly assigned to 2 groups. Participants in intervention group I received the Mulligan mobilization with movement techniques, whereas participants in intervention group II underwent the Maitland mobilization techniques.
Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors provide potent antidiabetic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but their role in the presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is not well-known.
Objective: The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of sitagliptin on the metabolic profile and liver test results in metformin-treated patients with T2DM and NAFLD.
Methods: This was a prospective, 12-week, single-center, comparative randomized clinical trial enrolling 66 adult patients with T2DM and NAFLD (diagnosed by ultrasound).
Background: Studies have shown that plant-based foods have a protective effect against gestational diabetes (GDM). We examined the association between plant-based dietary patterns and the risk of GDM in a sample of Iranian adults.
Methods: We enrolled 635 pregnant women for the present study.
Background: Trismus and subsequent restricted range of motion in the temporomandibular joint may impede vital activities of daily living.
Objective: The primary purpose of the current study was to explore the impact of muscle energy techniques on the range of temporomandibular motions in individuals with trismus and restricted range of the temporomandibular motions after third molar extraction surgery.
Methods: Eligible volunteers were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed demographics, clinical details, and outcomes of 274 Iranian patients with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM), and found that most participants were middle-aged men with a mean age of 56.8 years.
- - Key risk factors for increased mortality included smoking, ICU admission, advanced CAM stages, and specific treatments, while systemic corticosteroid use was linked to lower mortality rates.
- - Results indicated that deceased patients had significantly worse visual acuity compared to those who survived, highlighting the importance of early detection and tailored interventions for CAM patients to enhance health outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different resistance exercises (internal vs. external rotation) impact the acromiohumeral distance in athletes with primary subacromial impingement syndrome.
- Thirty athletes participated, exercising three times a week for six weeks, while their acromiohumeral distance was measured before and after the intervention.
- Results showed significant increases in the acromiohumeral distance for both exercise groups compared to a control group, with no notable differences between the internal and external rotation exercises.
Background: To investigate the subfoveal retinal and choroidal thickness in patients with unilateral Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome (FUS).
Methods: This comparative contralateral study was performed in affected eyes with FUS versus fellow eyes. For each eye parameters such as subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT), subfoveal choriocapillary thickness (SCCT), central macular thickness (CMT), and central macular volume (CMV) were measured; then the measured values of affected and fellow unaffected eye were compared.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to provide a detailed overview of factors and the microbiological profile associated with corneal ulcers in newborns through literature review and analysis.
- Researchers evaluated 34 relevant case reports and one original study, involving 74 neonates, highlighting common risk factors like prematurity, NICU care, and specific congenital conditions.
- The most frequently identified pathogens causing these ulcers were viral and bacterial infections, with herpes virus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the most prevalent, signaling important findings for clinical awareness and management.
To investigate the association of red and processed meat intake with the risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) in Iranian mothers. A total of 635 pregnant mothers were included. Dietary intake was assessed by a 90-item food frequency questionnaire during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the linear intra-articular motions of the TMJ between individuals with the normal craniocervical posture (CCP) and severe forward head posture (FHP).
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Cartilage lesions, especially osteoarthritis (OA), are a common health problem, causing pain and disability in various age groups, principally in older adults and athletes. One of the main challenges to be considered in cartilage tissue repair is the regeneration of cartilage tissue in an active inflammatory environment. Fisetin has various biological effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, apoptotic, and antiproliferative activities.

Methods: A total of 647 pregnant mothers were included in the present prospective birth cohort study in Iran. Dietary intake was assessed by a 90-item food frequency questionnaire during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean diet during early pregnancy on the cognitive and behavioral development of infants under one year in Iran.
- Involving 658 mothers and their infants, the research used a food frequency questionnaire to determine diet quality and assessed child development through the Ages and Stages Questionnaire at 6 months.
- Results indicated that infants whose mothers had higher Mediterranean diet scores showed a reduced risk of communication impairments, suggesting potential benefits of this diet on early development, though more extensive studies are necessary to support these findings.
Article Synopsis
- This study systematically reviewed the clinicoepidemiological characteristics of vitiligo in children, as there has been a lack of comprehensive analysis on this topic.
- The meta-analysis included 17 studies with over 4,365 subjects, revealing a higher prevalence of vitiligo in females, with a significant female-to-male ratio of 1.3:1.
- It found that non-segmental vitiligo types were most common among children, with vulgaris being the prevalent form, and noted variations in family history across different continents.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of clomiphene citrate (CC) combined with metformin versus a placebo in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance (IR) who are infertile.
- It involved 151 participants, randomized into two groups: one receiving CC with metformin and the other receiving CC with a placebo, measuring outcomes like ovulation and pregnancy rates.
- The results showed no significant differences in ovulation, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy, live birth, or abortion rates between the two groups, although more women in the metformin group experienced side effects.
This study evaluated the efficacy of the Occupational Therapy Diabetes Self-Management intervention (OTDSM) to enhance glycemic stability and self-management skills in people with diabetes type-2. Based on this single-blind randomized trial, 30 subjects with diabetes type-2 were assigned to two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group received a 10-week program, consisting of four group visits and six individualized sessions.
