Abstract:

Folktales, imaginative oral narratives passed through generations, feature extraordinary characters and events. They delve into fundamental aspects of human existence, addressing life, death, health, and illness with a touch of magic and fantasy. While not offering precise medical information, folktales creatively symbolize various health-related issues and remedies. These narratives encompass a wide array of health problems and treatments, including infertility, deformities, blindness, disabilities, prolonged slumber, skin injuries, pain, joint ailments, cannibalism, maladies stemming from so

Abstract:

Intermittent fasting (IF) has been gaining popularity as a means of losing weight. The Ramadan fast (RF) is a form of IF practiced by millions of adult Muslims globally for a whole lunar month every year. It entails a major shift from normal eating patterns to exclusive nocturnal eating. RF is a state of intermittent liver glycogen depletion and repletion. The earlier (morning) part of the fasting day is marked by dominance of carbohydrate as the main fuel, but lipid becomes more important towards the afternoon and as the time for breaking the fast at sunset (iftar) gets closer.

Monumental tombs reflect various social, cultural, architectural, religious, economic, and engineering features of a community.

Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate respiratory activity, color changes and fresh weight variation of ‘Carola’ (red), ‘Avalanche’ (white) and ‘Avalanche Chá’ (tea) roses for seven days after harvest. Respiratory activity, coloration of petals and fresh weight loss were evaluated. Treatments were composed of three rose cultivars and seven days of evaluation, in a 3 x 7 factorial and a completely randomized design with four replicates of two flowers per plot. To determine the respiratory activity, in addition to the four replicates, an “experimental control” was used as a fifth replicate without roses.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) syndrome is common, and obesity is a major risk factor. Increased peripharyngeal and central adiposity result in increased pharyngeal collapsibility, through increased mechanical loading around the upper airway, reduced tracheal traction on the pharynx, and reduced neuromuscular activity, particularly during sleep. Significant and sustained weight loss, if achieved, is likely to be a useful therapeutic option in the management of OSA and may be attempted by behavioural, pharmacological, and surgical approaches.

Abstract:

This study explored the predictors of weight loss following orlistat with a focus on both baseline variables and changes in beliefs and behaviours occurring over the course of taking the drug. Patients (n=566) prescribed orlistat completed a questionnaire at baseline and after 6 months concerning their weight, beliefs and behaviours. By 6 months the majority had lost some weight and showed improvements in diet. Many had also stopped taking the drug and a large minority reported using it flexibly as a lifestyle drug. Those who lost most weight showed a decrease in beliefs in a medical solution,

Abstract:

This paper addresses compliance issues that arise in the implementation of weight loss and other therapeutic diets prescribed for the individual with hypertension. Dietary compliance poses a significant problem. Studies suggest that dropout rates in both self-help and other weight loss programs range from 50 to 70% within 1–2 years. Further, just 50% of persons can be expected to comply with diets for cardiovascular disease. Assessment of adherence is confounded by the lack of precise measures that reflect adherence over time. Measures in general use include daily diaries, urinary chloride dip

Abstract:

Bariatric surgery promotes weight loss in the period between 18 and 24 months after surgery, however, health risk behaviors are determinant for this loss or for the regain of body weight after surgery. The COVID-19 pandemic period and social isolation can cause health risk behaviors to worsen. In this way, the study aims to verify the association of risk factors for weight regain in post-surgery patients proved to be more decisive in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

Currently, overweight and obesity are key problems globally. Several modifiable factors influence weight management. The number of obese and overweight people has significantly increased over the past few decades. Therefore, it is crucial to find effective and tailored strategies for weight management in public health and medicine. It has become necessary to take a comprehensive look at the problem of obesity and the process of weight loss, taking into account various aspects of lifestyle. To date, the effectiveness of dietary interventions, training interventions, or a combination of both has

Abstract:

Aging is one of the major non-reversible risk factors for several chronic diseases, including cancer, type 2 diabetes, dementia, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and it is a key cause of multimorbidity, disability, and frailty (decreased physical activity, fatigue, and weight loss). The underlying cellular mechanisms are complex and consist of multifactorial processes, such as telomere shortening, chronic low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, accumulation of senescent cells, and reduced autophagy. In this review, we focused on the molecular mechanisms and trans

Abstract:

Sensory-Processing Sensitivity (SPS) characterizes people’s characteristic sensitivity to experience. SPS is a young field of research. There are limitations in the study of SPS and religiosity and spirituality. This study seeks to explore how Muslims with high SPS view the loss they have experienced and how they cope with the loss from an Islamic perspective. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used as the method of the study to allow for an in-depth exploration of how participants make sense of their loss experiences.

The evolving landscape of weight loss research emphasizes tailored approaches for success. This paper aims to provide comprehensive insights into these methods’ mechanisms, advantages, and limitations, equipping individuals with knowledge for informed weight management decisions. This paper explores three distinct weight loss strategies: carbohydrate cycling, the ketogenic diet, and intermittent fasting. Each method offers unique approaches to address the global concern of obesity. Carbohydrate cycling involves alternating between low and high carbohydrate intake days. The ketogenic diet shift

PURPOSE: To study histopathological findings due to a model of closed head injury by weight loss in rats. METHODS: A platform was used to induce closed cranial lesion controlled by weight loss with a known and predefined energy. 25 male Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus albinus) were divided in five equal groups which received different cranial impact energy levels: G1, G2, G3 and G4 with 0.234J, 0.5J, 0.762J and 1J respectively and G5 (Sham). Under the effect of analgesia, the brain of each group was collected and prepared for histopathological analysis by conventional optic microscopy. RESULTS:

Abstract:

The European hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, is frequently admitted to rescue centres in the UK. With many overwintering in captivity, there is cause to investigate hibernation patterns in order to inform and improve husbandry and monitoring protocols. Thirty-five hedgehogs were studied over two winters. Weight change during hibernation for the first winter was used to test for effects of disturbance on different aspects of hibernation, including total duration, frequency and duration of spontaneous arousals. There was no significant difference between the two winters for any of the four aspect

In recent decades, obesity and overweight have become one of the significant problems of global public health. The steady growth of morbidity, development of complications and comorbid conditions, disability and an increase in mortality in obese patients indicate the need to develop new methods of treatment and prevention of this disease. It has been proven that some probiotics contribute to weight loss.

Abstract:

Offering online programs that target men and women separately, Weight Watchers communicates, represents, and manipulates gender in its program marketing and materials. In this article, I demonstrate how Weight Watchers engages aspects of hegemonic masculinity as they endeavor to construct “masculine” versus “feminine” dieting through contrasting depictions of food, the body, and technology use. By analyzing the difference in the weight loss experiences that Weight Watchers Online promises, I argue that limited types of self are made available to women and men.
