Abstract Background Evidence about a possible causal relationship between non-specific physical symptoms (NSPS) and exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by sources such as mobile phone base stations (BS) and powerlines is insufficient. So far little epidemiological research has been published on the contribution of psychological components to the occurrence of EMF-related NSPS. The prior objective of the current study is to explore the relative importance of actual and perceived proximity to base stations and psychological components as determinants of NSPS, adjusting for demograph

Safe and effective vaccination remains the mainstay of control of COVID-19 because there is still no universally recommended treatment. This strategy is however being threatened by vaccine hesitancy and resistance due to fear of adverse events and safety concerns. It is, therefore, necessary to study post-vaccination adverse events (AE) in various populations and geographical areas. The objective of this study was to analyze the adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination in five major immunization centers of Kwara State Nigeria. A retrospective descriptive study of the adverse events follow

Engagement in physical activity (PA) is a key health-promoting behavior in the prevention and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, evidence regarding the associations between domain-specific PA and CKD remains limited. This study examined the relationships between different PA domains and CKD. Data were obtained from a large population-based survey. PA was self-reported and categorized into transportation-related (TPA), occupational (OPA), and leisure-time PA (LTPA). Multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic spline models, and subgroup analyses were used to assess ass

Abstract Background Inflammation is a precursor of chronic disease, which is affected by lifestyle and dietary habits. Recently empirical dietary inflammatory patterns (EDIP), dietary inflammation scores (DIS), and lifestyle inflammation scores (LIS) were developed to indicate lifestyle and dietary contributions in systemic inflammation. The current study aimed to investigate the associations between these indices and the incidence of diabetes among Tehranian adults. Methods A total of 4624 individuals, aged 20–75 years, who were free of diabetes at baseline (2008–2011), were followed for 5.71

Introduction: Hypertrophic and keloid scars arise from abnormal healing processes in fibrous tissue where tissue repair and regeneration control mechanisms do not work well. The standard treatment is an intralesional steroid injection with triamcinolone acetonide (TA). This method is effective, but there are some side effects include hypopigmentation and tissue atrophy. The nanofat method has been applied to various skin conditions with fewer side effects. Therefore, the use of nanofat with its regenerative properties can be expected to yield better results. This study aims to compare the decr

Introduction: Telehealth is a potential method for improving the quality of care for people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In Saudi Arabia, there is limited research on the effectiveness of telehealth for glycemic control compared to usual care. Thus, the aim of the current study was to determine the impact of telehealth on glycemic control in individuals diagnosed with T2D, with a specific focus on the examination of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values. Methods: A retrospective case-control cohort study was conducted between January and August 2024 on people diagnosed with T2D who were manag
