Abstract:

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease with a high and growing prevalence in most countries. Recently, literature found a link between DM and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), one of the main disorders. Objective: verify the prevalence of DM among individuals with AD. A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out, in which 100 elderly people aged 60 years or over, of both genders and diagnosed with AD were studied. The participants, aged 18 years old or over, were the direct family members or those responsible for the care of those elderly people. Sociodemographic and clinical information was collected through an online questionnaire on the Google Forms platform and tabulated in the Microsoft Office Excel program. Assesment scales of BADLs (Basic Activities of Daily Living) and IADLS (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) as well as the adapted QDRS (Quick Dementia Rating System) were applied and then correlated with the duration of DM using the Pearson’s Correlation Test. Most of the AD patients were female (65.7%), with a low level of education (43%), overweight or obese (48%) and has as main comorbidities DM (51.5%) and Arterial Hypertension (57.5%). Significant differences were found in the Degree of Dependency scores according to the BADL (p=0.034) and IADL (p=0.028) assessment scales, and in the QDRS as well (p=0.036). According to the Person’s Linear Correlation Coefficient, duration of Diabetes had a very low intensity correlations with duration of Alzheimer’s (r= -0.1), with the degree of dependency according BADL assessment scale (r= -0.16), and according to IADL assessment scale (r= -0.14), and the degree of dementia according to QDRS (r= -0.15). The study apparently found a correlation between DM and a worsening of DA’s symptoms, but further studies on the subject are suggested, since the sample size does not allow extrapolating the results to the population.

Abstract:

This study designed to determine the effects of dairy products (milk, yogurt and cheese) intake and some physical activities (walking, running and using elevators) on bone mineral density (BMD) and body mass index (BMI) which are used as indicators of Osteoporosis and Obesity respectively.  BMI was calculated by dividing weight (kg) by the square of height (m2) and classified as following: Underweight (< 18.5 BMI), Normal weight (18.5-24.9 BMI), Overweight (25-29.9 BMI) and Obese (˃ 30 BMI) considered as Obesity degrees. BMD was measured for the right foot with a pDEXA densitometer with a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and expressed as a T-score index then divided as following: Normal (T ≥ 1), Osteopenia (T (-1) - (-2.5)) and Osteoporosis (T < -2.5). The correlation has been done according to Pearson Correlation Coefficient Formula. Results showed that the average of BMI, BMD and dairy products intake were 27.3±0.98, 0.79±0.76 and 62±0.43 respectively. Findings revealed that the most of respondents used to consume insufficient amounts of dairy products which led to high rate of osteoporosis (21%) and osteopenia (37%). Correlation value of physical activities was negative with PMI (-0.073) and it was positive with BMD (0.053). Findings conclude that dairy products consumption and daily physical activities may enhance bone mineral density and prevent obesity.

Abstract:

Background
In millennia, agro-industrial waste captured interest owing to its abundant availability, pollution reduction ability, low price, and lignocellulosic nature. It is important for the renewable

energy, biofuels, and biochemicals generation and is obtained from various sources, agricultural and forestry waste stream. Among agricultural residues, globally, cell wall is most important by-product of wheat processing produced in larger quantity. About 529 million tons wheat straw is generated every year in all over the world.

Objective
The core objective of the current study was to characterize the wheat straw cell wall for its nutritional and bioactive profile.

Study design
The whole research was conducted in three different phases. In first phase, nutritional composition and mineral profile of cell wall from the straw of different wheat varieties were determined. In second phase, wheat straw of different varieties was characterized for its important bioactive constituents, such as lignin, cellulose, hemicelluloses, phytosterol, and policosanol (PC) content.

Results
Results showed that straw of different wheat varieties contained 7.79–9.27, 3.92–5.10, 3.41–3.93, and 1.56–2.19 g/100 g moisture, ash, protein, and fat contents, respectively, whereas potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium were 1.16–2.06, 0.11–0.75, 0.12–0.99, 0.07–0.94 ppm, respectively. Moreover, lignocellulosic mass: cellulose 37.79–38.16 g/100 g raw material, lignin 15.65–16.11 g/100 g raw material, hemicelluloses 28.21–28.93 g/100 g raw material, was present in wheat straw cell wall and varied significantly among different varieties. In addition, phytosterol ranged from 912 to 1199 mg/kg in straw of different wheat cultivars, whilst PC from 195.02 to 237.12 mg/kg.

Conclusion
Conclusively, wheat straw cell wall was an excellent source of many important bioactive moieties especially lignocelluloses and could have functional use.
