Abstract

Background: Obesity is associated with environmental factors, such as dietary intake and physical activity, as well as genetic factors. Obesity is due to an increase in total energy intake, although the precise contributions of nutrients (for example, carbohydrates, fat, protein and fiber) are not fully understood. Methods: This systematic review focused on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024 using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Editorials and review pieces published in the same journal as the submission without a DOI were not accepted. The literature was compiled using Medline, Science Direct, Scopus and Embase, among other online venues. Result: Eight publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles. Conclusion: More controlled clinical trials with robust designs are needed to be able to recommend personalized nutrition based on nutrition for obesity prevention and management.

Abstract

Background: The term “plant-based diet” is used for a wide range of dietary patterns, and comprise all diets based mainly on food derived from plants. “Plant food” typically refers to vegetables, fruit, grains, seeds, legumes, pulses, fungi, and nuts, and a similarity among the different plant-based diets is the limited consumption of foods of animal origin. Methods: This systematic review focused on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024 using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Editorials and review pieces published in the same journal as the submission without a DOI were not accepted. Result: Five publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles. Conclusion: A dietary pattern excluding foods of animal origin is likely to have beneficial effects on glucose metabolism in individuals with T2DM and overweight/obesity

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss in renal function over a period of three months or years. Kidneys can get damaged from a physical injury or a disease like diabetes mellitus (DM) or high blood pressure. Once kidneys are damaged, they cannot filter blood or perform other activities. Methods: This systematic review focused on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024 using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Editorials and review pieces published in the same journal as the submission without a DOI were not accepted. The literature was compiled using Medline, Science Direct, Scopus and Embase, among other online venues. Result: Ten publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles. Conclusion: CKD as a result of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been the main contributor to the increasing burden of CKD over the past several decades. We suggest a more pragmatic approach focusing on early diagnosis, primary care and adequate follow up to reduce mortality and the long‐term burden in low‐to‐middle Sociodemographic Index regions.

Abstract

Background: Reflux is frequently associated with laryngomalacia, a common upper airway disorder in children that affects 4%–20% of patients. Damage from reflux weakens the supraglottic tissues, obstructing the airway and preventing growth. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this systematic review concentrated on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024. Editorials and review articles that appeared in the same journal as the submission were not accepted without a DOI. The literature was assembled using a variety of online resources, including ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SagePub. Result: Following a rigorous three-stage screening procedure, six papers were found to have relevant links to our current extensive investigation. After that, the entire text was carefully examined, and these particular sections got extra focus. Conclusion: Studies have shown that laryngomalacia, a condition characterized by acid reflux, has a significant role in the condition, with pepsin serving as a comorbidity. However, the efficacy of acid-targeting medications remains unclear.

Abstract

Background: It has been demonstrated that probiotics, or live microorganisms, can lessen GERD symptoms and enhance gut health. They can help with bowel movements and abdominal pain, which helps with managing GI tract disorders in general and irritable bowel syndrome in particular (IBS). Methods: We conducted a search without sample size restrictions in the PubMed and Web of Science databases to find prospective studies on dyspepsia, heartburn, regurgitation, and GERD. The analysis comprised a total of ten published prospective studies. Result: Studies have reported that probiotics can alleviate GERD symptoms, including reflux. These studies have shown that probiotics can reduce regurgitation, improve reflux or heartburn, alleviate dyspepsia, and improve other upper gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, abdominal pain, and gas-related symptoms. Conclusion: In the general adult population, probiotics have been shown to lessen upper gastrointestinal symptoms of GERD, especially those derived from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. By interacting with stomach mucosal receptors, they modify the immune response and antagonistic activity towards potential pathogens, accelerating gastric emptying.

Abstract

Background: One of the most common causes of patients presenting to the emergency department with complaint of abdominal pain is acute cholecystitis. Acute cholecystitis, which is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder, is mostly due to presence of a stone, ischemia, movement disorders in gallbladder and biliary tracts, and obstruction of the tracts by a tumor. Methods: This systematic review focused on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024 using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Editorials and review pieces published in the same journal as the submission without a DOI were not accepted. The literature was compiled using Medline, Science Direct, Scopus and Embase, among other online venues. Result: Five publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles. Conclusion: Diagnosing cholecystitis and appendicitis with ultrasound is more challenging for internist, surgeons and radiologists. We believe that ultrasound could be used as an adjunct to the clinical examination with the possibility to confirm but not exclude these diagnoses.

Abstract

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common metabolic issue in pregnancy, marked by high plasma glucose levels first detected during pregnancy. Research shows that women with GDM have at least a seven-fold higher risk of developing T2DM compared to those with normal pregnancies.  This study aims to serve a comprehensive systematic review to analyze the incidence rate of T2DM after GDM in literatures of the last 10 years.  Methods: The review adhered to PRISMA 2020 standards and analyzed full-text English literature from 2014 to 2024. It excluded editorials, review papers from the same journal, and submissions lacking a DOI. Literature sources included PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. Result: A total of  500 articles were retrieved from online databases (PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink and Google Scholar). After three rounds of screening, ten articles directly relevant to the systematic review were selected for full-text reading and analysis. Conclusion: Postpartum care and long-term monitoring for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are essential due to the increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Future research should target modifiable risk factors and enhance postpartum screening to mitigate associated health risks.
