Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes gastrointestinal lesions, bleeding, diarrhoea and nutritional complications. Insufficient nutrient intake can additionally deteriorate nutritional status. The present cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether UC patients adhere to national dietary guidelines and to assess their dietary habits. An online questionnaire (n...

BACKGROUND Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), are detectable in the serum of 95% of the U.S. OBJECTIVE Considering the role of PFASs as endocrine disruptors, we examined their relationships with bone health. METHODS The association between ...

osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by reduction in bone mass and micro architectural changes in the bone, which leads to increased bone fragility. the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis is the measurement of bone mineral density (bmd) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dxa). periodontal disease is a chronic destructive disease which can occur in adults, young people...

Objective(s): The prognosis of osteoporosis is very poor, and it is very important to identify a biomarker for prevention of osteoporosis. In this study, we aimed to identify candidate markers in osteoporosis and to investigate the role of candidate markers in osteogenic differentiation. Materials and Methods: Using Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network analysis, we identified three hub genes mig...
