Diet and exercise interventions may help reverse malnutrition and muscle wasting common in pancreatic cancer. We performed a scoping review to identify the knowledge gaps surrounding diet and exercise interventions. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, ProQuest Theses and Dissertations, and Google Scholar using the umbrella terms of "pancreatic cancer," "diet/nutrition," and "exercise." Included were articles reporting on ambulatory adults with diagnosed pancreatic cancer. Excluded were studies examining prevention and/or risk, animal, or cell lines. Of the 15,708 articles identified, only 62 met the final inclusion criteria. Almost half of the articles were randomized controlled studies (n = 27). Most studies were from the United States (n = 20). The majority examined dietary interventions (n = 41), with 20 assessing the use of omega-3 fatty acids. Exercise interventions were reported in 13 studies, with 8 examining a diet and exercise intervention. Most studies were small and varied greatly in terms of study design, intervention, and outcomes. We identified 7 research gaps that should be addressed in future studies. This scoping review highlights the limited research examining the effect of diet and exercise interventions in ambulatory patients with pancreatic cancer.

Objectives: Many studies draw attention to the negative consequences of the pandemic or lockdown on the well-being and lifestyle of different sections of the population. This study considers whether changes occurred in dietary regime and level of physical activity during three periods - before the pandemic, during the lockdown, and during the present in older Slovak adults. We also investigate whether individual weights changed during the pandemic.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults and represents the leading cause of mortality. Risk factors for CVD in AI/AN adults are well-described, and a growing body of evidence reports the inequitable prevalence of factors associated with the development of CVD in AI/AN children, including obesity, physical inactivity, and diabetes mellitus (DM).
Objective: This article organizes and summarizes the evidence describing CVD risk factors in AI/AN children, discusses the social drivers of health impacting these risks, and highlights several programs that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving AI/AN child health.

Objective: Quercetin and exercise both have antidiabetic effects through decreasing blood glucose while increasing insulin sensitivity. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) exercises along with quercetin administration on apoptosis and cardiomyopathy in diabetic obese rats.
Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, 35 male Wistar rats [diabetic rats for experimental groups and normal rats for healthy control (HC)] were divided into seven groups (for each group n=5): HC, diabetic control (DC), diabetic quercetin control (DQC), diabetic HIIT (DHT), diabetic MICT (DMT), DHT with quercetin (DQHT) and DMT with quercetin (DQMT).
