Background: Long-term diabetes causes other disease development such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
Objective: Genetics can help us to predict cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients.
Method And Search Strategy: We searched PubMed and Google scholar for the terms: Cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, Polymorphism, Genetics from 2000 to 2017, and then included the relevant studies in our study.
Discussion: Essential role of inheritance in multifactorial disease is obviously clear, however, varies by disease and by other factors such as age of disease onset and subtype of disease. CVD is a multifactorial disease which can develop in diabetes patients as a result of increase in oxidative stress. It may also increase expression of pro-inflammatory factors and induce apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.
Conclusion: Predictive polymorphisms are risk estimators for CVD incidence in diabetes patients. SNPs such as 894G>T in NOS3 gene, V16 in MnSOD gene, Rs3918188 in NOS3 gene and Rs11614913 in MiR-196a2 increase the risk of CVD in diabetic patients are precious polymorphisms for CVD prediction in diabetic population. CDKN2B, MTHFR and ACE genes have polymorphisms which increase the risk of diabetes and other polymorphisms on these genes increase the risk of CVD, we suggest these genes are valuable to study and find out if there are any polymorphisms that predict CVD susceptibility in diabetic patients.

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a significant risk factor for glaucoma, causing structural and functional damage to the eye. Increased IOP compromises the metabolic and structural integrity of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons, leading to progressive degeneration and influencing the ocular immune response. This study investigated early cellular and molecular changes in the retina and optic nerve (ON) following ocular hypertension (OHT).

Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) after lower extremity (LE) bypass surgery is associated with longer length of stay, higher hospital cost, increased morbidity, and even graft loss. Silver impregnated dressings have been used by other surgical subspecialties to decrease SSI with reported success. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) published a national expected rate of 7.

Background: Patients with gastrointestinal tract cancer reported suboptimal adherence to oral anticancer agents (OAAs), reducing their therapeutic benefit and increasing mortality risk. A scoping review can comprehensively map available evidence on adherence to OAAs and inform appropriate support to improve treatment outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively map studies on adherence to OAAs among adults with gastrointestinal tract cancer, including the adherence rate, nonadherence reasons, influential factors, management strategies, and theories that guide these studies.

Background: Nonweightbearing preoperative assessments avoid quadriceps contraction that tends to affect patellar motion and appear to be inaccurate in quantifying anatomic factors, which can lead to incorrect corrections and postoperative complications.
Questions/purposes: (1) Does the relationship of patellar axial malalignment and other anatomic factors change during weightbearing? (2) What anatomic factor was most strongly correlated with recurrent patellar dislocation during weightbearing?
Methods: This prospective, comparative, observational study recruited participants at our institution between January 2023 and September 2023. During this time, all patients with recurrent patellar dislocations received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans; control patients who received unilateral CT scans because of injuries or benign tumors received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans.

Background: Enhancing self-management in health care through digital tools is a promising strategy to empower patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to improve self-care.
Objective: This study evaluates whether the Greenhabit (mobile health [mHealth]) behavioral treatment enhances T2D outcomes compared with standard care.
Methods: A 12-week, parallel, single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted with 123 participants (62/123, 50%, female; mean age 58.
