The misuse of insulin by males with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus for weight and/or shape control: a systematic scoping review
ConclusionDespite common preconceptions, this disordered eating behaviour appears to occur similarly in males and females. The findings shed light on areas for future research, including aetiology in males and the need for longitudinal and qualitative research. Clinical recommendations include being alert to the possibility of this behaviour in males with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and the need for health professionals to use open-ended questions to explore current and past deliberate restriction and/or omission of insulin among their patients.

Using 17th century medication for modern diabetes management: Doctors ’ perceptions of self-medication practices – A qualitative study
ConclusionThese results suggest that doctors have limited strategies to implement to prevent self-medication practices among people with diabetes. Increasing knowledge amongst doctors about JAS medication effectiveness and thereby garnering greater trust in generic medications. In addition, efforts should be made to identify the best ways to integrate traditional and western medicine into patient-centered care delivery. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Natural activators of AMPK signaling: potential role in the management of type-2 diabetes
AbstractAdenosine 5 ’-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase involved in the homeostasis of cellular energy. AMPK has developed as an appealing clinical target for the diagnosis of multiple metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, inflammatio n, and cancer. Genetic and pharmacological studies indicate that AMPK is needed in response to glucose deficiency, dietary restriction, and increased physical activity for preserving glucose homeostasis. After activation, AMPK influences metabolic mechanisms contributing to enhanced ATP production, thus grow...

Social determinants of health inequity in Iran: a narrative review
ConclusionIran, similar to large numbers of countries, face inequity at regional level in different SDH related issues. The COVID-19 pandemic showed that economic status and health are aligned. Sanctions superimposed on the COVID-19 pandemic cause harm to millions of innocent people. One of the main goals of health authorities is to reduce SDH inequity in order to achieve the goal of “health for all”. To tackle these inequities, prompt action is needed.

COVID-19 anti-vaccine attitude and hesitancy
AbstractHigh vaccination rates are required around the world to create herd immunity and terminate the current COVID-19 pandemic growth. With the steady rise in COVID-19 vaccine supplies, hesitancy and rejection to be vaccinated has become a problem worldwide for large vaccine coverage. Understanding the causes of vaccine avoidance or hesitancy can help to increase vaccination intentions in the general population. A number of factors contributed to increasing hesitancy. Some causes of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy include anti-vaccine myths and confusing messages about some severe side effects of few vaccines, confusion over ...
