Curcumin and Cognitive Function: A Systematic Review of the Effects of Curcumin on Adults With and Without Neurocognitive Disorders.

This systematic review investigates the effect of curcumin on neurocognitive exams and inflammatory serum biomarkers in adults 18 years and older. We search PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute. Modeling the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA), we screened 1,284 studies with the keywords "neurocognitive disorders," "dementia," "cognitive health," "serum biomarkers," and "curcumin.

Effectiveness of High-Fiber, Plant-Based Diets in Reducing Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A Systematic Review.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a prominent contributor to morbidity and mortality, particularly in the middle-aged and elderly population. Plant-based, high-fiber diets high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts can significantly lower CVD risk factors. This systematic review aims to assess how effectively diet improves cardiovascular health in this demographic.

Evaluating Cardiovascular Benefits of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review.

Cardiovascular risks and complications remain elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes even after appropriate control of contributing factors like glycemic control, hypertension, and lipid profile. More efficient methods are needed to address this issue in type 2 diabetics. Newer drugs like glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown a cardioprotective effect in addition to glycemic control.

The Impact of Exercise on C-reactive Protein Levels in Hypertensive Patients: A Systematic Review.

Hypertension, defined as persistently elevated blood pressure, is a prevalent chronic condition and a significant global health issue, closely linked to cardiovascular complications, with inflammation being one of the underlying mechanisms. In hypertensive patients, C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, is often elevated and associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Alongside pharmacotherapy, exercise is recommended as a non-pharmacological approach to managing hypertension, with evidence suggesting that exercise can also reduce inflammation.

Evaluating the Impact of Telemedicine on Diabetes Management in Rural Communities: A Systematic Review.

Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare services using information and communication technologies to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, transforming how healthcare is delivered, especially in remote and underserved areas. Despite its potential, no systematic reviews have been conducted in the last five years to assess the effectiveness of telemedicine for managing diabetes in rural populations.
