Probiotics for the Management of Oral Mucositis: An Interpretive Review of Current Evidence.

Mucositis is one of the major side effects of anti-cancer therapies. Mucositis may lead to other abnormalities such as depression, infection, and pain, especially in young patients. Although there is no specific treatment for mucositis, several pharmacological and non-pharmacological options are available to prevent its complications.

Food security, mental health, and socioeconomic status: A cross-sectional study among medical college students in central part of Iran, Kashan.

Background And Aims: Food security is a complex and multidimensional issue that has been recognized as a serious public health problem all over the world for the past two decades. The present study was designed and conducted to determine the prevalence of food insecurity among college students at the Kashan University of Medical Sciences and some related factors including socioeconomic and mental health determinants.

Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional study conducted on 358 students who were currently studying at the Kashan University of Medical Sciences.

RANKL/RANK/OPG Pathway: A Mechanism Involved in Exercise-Induced Bone Remodeling.

Bones as an alive organ consist of about 70% mineral and 30% organic component. About 200 million people are suffering from osteopenia and osteoporosis around the world. There are multiple ways of protecting bone from endogenous and exogenous risk factors.

Zinc supplements and bone health: The role of the RANKL-RANK axis as a therapeutic target.

Background: To this day, empirical data suggests that zinc has important roles in matrix synthesis, bone turnover, and mineralization and its beneficial effects on bone could be mediated through different mechanisms. The influence of zinc on bone turnover could be facilitated via regulating RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway in bone tissue. Therefore, the aim of the study was to conduct a review to investigate the possible effect of the zinc mediated bone remodeling via RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway.

Probiotics and bone disorders: the role of RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway.

The skeleton is the framework and in charge of body configuration preservation. As a living tissue, bones are constantly being formed and absorbed. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the main bone cells and balance between their activities indicates bone health.
