Article Synopsis
- Hypertension is a common issue among type 2 diabetes patients, with the study finding a prevalence rate of 45.5% in a diverse group of 1,245 participants aged 35-70.
- Risk factors identified include older age, female gender, certain ethnic backgrounds (Fars and Turk), obesity, and being overweight, all of which contribute to higher hypertension prevalence.
- Conversely, increased physical activity was linked to a lower prevalence of hypertension, highlighting the need for further research to explore these relationships in more depth.
Background: This study assessed the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a general adult population in Iran. The association between GERD and various factors was also evaluated.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on 163,018 individuals aged over 35 who were enrolled in the PERSIAN cohort.
Many factors can lead to an increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in different populations. Using an advanced structural equation model (SEM), this study is aimed to determine the most important risk factors of MetS, as a continuous latent variable, using a large number of males and females. We also aimed to evaluate the interrelations among the associated factors involved in the development of MetS.

The aim of the current study was to determine if the expression of miR-146a, miR-103a, and miR-155 in whole blood of RA patients could confer potential markers in evaluating of activity-severity of the disease in RA patients with established disease.
Methods: Whole blood samples were obtained from 30 RA patients and 30 healthy subjects.
Background: Physical characteristics including body size and configuration, are considered as one of the key influences on the optimum performance in athletes. Despite several analyzing methods for modeling the slimming estimation in terms of reduction in anthropometric indices, there are still weaknesses of these models such as being very demanding including time taken for analysis and accuracy.
Objectives: This research proposes a novel approach for determining the slimming effect of a herbal composition as a natural medicine for weight loss.
Segmentation and three-dimensional (3D) visualization of teeth in dental computerized tomography (CT) images are of dentists' requirements for both abnormalities diagnosis and the treatments such as dental implant and orthodontic planning. On the other hand, dental CT image segmentation is a difficult process because of the specific characteristics of the tooth's structure. This paper presents a method for automatic segmentation of dental CT images.

Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, 457 CBCT images, including human left and right mandibular premolars were evaluated. CBCT scans were investigated in the three spatial planes and differences in the number of roots and canals were recorded.
