Integrated Exercise and Glycemic and Peripheral Sensation Control in Diabetic Neuropathy: A Single ‑Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: At the beginning of IE, we used massage and foam roller to release pain and improve blood circulation as well as sensation in the neuropathic areas. This may have helped the patients perform the aerobic and resistance exercises more easily. Therefore, better glycemic control and peripheral sensation were achieved. Verification of the long ‑term effects of this training strategy requires further study. Verification of the long‑term effects of this training strategy requires further study.

Short ‑Term Impact of Two Kinds of Vegetables to Exogenous Total Nitrate and Nitrite Intake: Is Antibacterial Mouthwash Influential?
Conclusions: This study indicated that the intake of total nitrate/nitrite via leafy vegetables was higher than rooty ones. The chlorhexidine mouthwash is an appropriate recommendation to reduce the nitrite concentration in the human body for preventing the probable side effects of nitrate metabolites such as N ‑nitrosamines forming.

Antifungal Effects of Iranian Propolis Extract and Royal jelly Against Candida albicans In ‑Vitro
Conclusions: The results indicate tha t both Royal jelly and Iranian Propolis alcoholic extract are effective against C. albicans, but the former species has higher antifungal activity. If the clinical trials confirm the results of this study, Iranian propolis, as a new antifungal agent by replacing chemical drugs, can be used to develo p antifungal medicinal herbs.

Neonatal Screening for Congenital Hearing Loss in the North of Jordan; Findings and   Implications
Conclusions: Hearing screening test is conducted via a 3‑phases‑protocol. OAE is used in the first two phases and ABR in the third phase. Hearing results is significantly affected for infants admitted to NICU. The following factors increase OAE fail response: mechanical ventilation for more than 5 days, Hyperbilirubinemia, associated congenital anomalies. Mode of delivery doesn’t have statistical significance on he aring screening results. (Source: International Journal of Preventive Medicine)

The Atherogenic Index Log (Triglyceride/HDL ‑Cholesterol) as a Biomarker to Identify Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Poor Glycemic Control
Conclusion: The log (TG/HDL‑C) in addition to its known association with enhanced CVD risk could be considered as a biomarker to predict T2D patients with poor glycemic control. Therefore, the increased ratio may provide a simple and useful way of identifying poor glycemic T2D patients who are possibly to be at elevated risk of CVD.

Is Newborn Hearing Screening Cost Effective? Economic Consideration for Policy Makers
Conclusions: We concluded cost per new case detection is 6956 US$ in Iranian neonate hearing screening program. Almost, it is equal to GDP per capita and it may be cost effective. Since there are many strategies to screening of newborn, it is suggested that all alternative screening strategies be analyzed by a cost effectiveness method to find the best strategy for hearing loss screening.

Internet ‑Delivered Versus Face‑to‑Face Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Systematic Review and Meta‑Analysis
Conclusions: ICBT and face‑to‑face CBT created equivalent overall effects. in treatment of anxiety disorders. Since there have been similar systematic reviews about anxiety disorders so far, and in majority of them, ICBT has not been compared against face‑to‑face treatment. More research is needed to establish the general equivalence of the two treatment formats. Also, understanding what makes ICBT work is a challenge for future research.
