    Abstract Aims: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and mental health outcomes among patients with migraine headaches.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 262 subjects were included. The dietary intakes were collected using a validated 168-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Items were scored according to their inflammatory potential, so a higher DII indicated a more pro-inflammatory diet. The association between DII and the mental health of participants was investigated using multinomial logistic regression and odds ratio (OR) with a corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was reported.
    Results: Overall, 224 women and 38 men, with a mean (standard error) DII of -2.96 (0.06), age of 36.1 (0.53) years, and BMI of 25.55 (0.21) kg/m
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that depression was positively associated with adherence to a pro-inflammatory diet. However, no significant association was observed between anxiety and stress with DII.

    Abstract This study was performed to assess the effect of nigella supplementation on blood pressure levels among the adult population. A comprehensive search was carried out through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library by using relevant keywords to find out the randomized clinical trials evaluating the effect of nigella administration on systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). A random-effect model was applied to achieve the overall effect size. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were used to explore the source of heterogeneity and the effects of the possible moderators. Of the twenty-two trials that were eligible for the present study, seventeen studies consisting of 1048 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The results indicated that nigella administration could significantly reduce both SBP (−4.58 mmHg; 95%CI: −6.22, −2.94) and DBP (−3.08 mmHg; 95%CI: −4.62, −1.55). Subgroup analysis did not show any superiority between subgroups of variables. Dose-response analysis detected a nonlinear association between dose and duration of administration and change in blood pressure outcomes, highlighting that maximum SBP and DBP reduction was experienced at 2000 mg/day and 8 weeks of nigella administration, respectively. The present study suggests that nigella supplementation can be beneficial for managing blood pressure.

    Abstract Since cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most common and debilitating disorders globally, risk factor modification is an urgent health priority. Interestingly, an increasing body of literature has suggested honey, and its by-products, can elicit a positive effect on CVD risk factors. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to summarize and discuss the outcomes of interventional studies in humans regarding the effects of bee products’ consumption on CVD risk factors. The Cochrane Collaboration tool was used for quality assessment of the included studies. A total of 23 studies met our inclusion criteria. Six studies used natural honey, seven used propolis, and ten administered royal jelly as the intervention. Natural honey consumption could improve lipid profile and anthropometric parameters, and propolis supplementation could enhance lipid profile and glycemic markers. Current evidence precludes conclusions being made regarding royal jelly and CVD risk factors. It seems that honey and propolis consumption could reduce CVD risk factors. Overall, in order to confirm the association between bee products and CVD risk factors, more clinical trials with adequate sample sizes and better methodology should be conducted in the future.

    Abstract Aims: We evaluated associations between diet quality and migraine outcomes.
    Methods: The current work represented a cross-sectional study on 262 patients with migraine (20-50 y). Diet quality was assessed using the standard healthy eating index 2015 (HEI-2015) and alternative healthy eating index 2010 (AHEI-2010). A validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intake. Migraine outcomes included clinical factors (severity, duration, frequency, and disability related to migraine) and serum nitric oxide (NO). Associations between diet quality indices and migraine outcomes were evaluated using linear regressions, and β and 95% corresponding confidence interval (CI) were reported.
    Results: HEI-2015 was inversely associated with migraine frequency (
    Conclusions: Improved diet quality may be associated with favorable migraine outcomes (lower headache frequency, severity, and migraine-related disability). Future studies are required to confirm and delineate the causal mechanisms of our observations.

    Abstract We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effects of consuming pistachio nuts on lipid profiles (total cholesterol [TC], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], and triglyceride [TG]). Databases of PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception to June 2019 to identify RCTs documenting the effects of consuming pistachio nuts on blood lipid profiles in adults. Effect sizes were reported as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using the random-effects models (DerSimonian-Laird method). Twelve eligible RCTs were included. Consumption of pistachio nuts decreased TC (WMD: −7.48 mg/dL; 95% CI, −12.62 to −2.34), LDL-C (WMD: −3.82 mg/dL; 95% CI, −5.49 to −2.16) and TG (WMD: −11.19 mg/dL; 95% CI, −14.21 to −8.17) levels. However, HDL-cholesterol levels (WMD: 2.45 mg/dL; 95% CI, −2.44 to 7.33) did not change following pistachio consumption. Consuming pistachio nuts may improve lipid profiles (TC, LDL-C, TG) in adults and may be protective against cardiometabolic diseases. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are required to confirm these results.

    Abstract OBJECTIVES: Based on a comprehensive search, we realized that there is no previous study conducted among migraine patients to assess the association between major dietary patterns and mental health. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the relationship between empirically-derived dietary patterns and depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of Iranian migraine patients. METHODS: A total of 262 migraine patients (20–50 years) were selected through simple random sampling method for this study. Dietary intake during the previous year was determined using a validated 168-item, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and major dietary patterns were derived using principal component analysis (PCA). For mental health evaluation, authors used the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS- 21) questionnaire. Statistical analysis included multinomial logistic regression analysis and results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: We identified three major dietary patterns including “traditional”, “western”, and “healthy”. After controlling for potential confounders, those in the highest tertile of the healthy dietary pattern had lower odds of depression (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.88; P for trend: 0.030) and stress (OR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.25, 0.99; P for trend: 0.049). However, no significant association was observed between western and traditional dietary patterns and mental disorders. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, significant associations were documented between healthy dietary patterns and risk of depression and stress. Current findings urge migraine patients to increase their intakes of fruits, vegetables, eggs, whole grains, nuts and seeds, meat, and poultry and reduce the intake of fast foods and snacks, processed meat, fish, cola drink, condiments, dairy, and vegetable pickles to diminish the chance of depression and stress.

    Abstract The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of synbiotic interventions on blood pressure levels in adults. A systematic literature search was conducted in the databases of MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane through March 2020 to identify all randomized control trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of synbiotic interventions on blood pressure parameter, including systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) scale was used to assess the certainty of evaluated outcomes and determine the strength of recommendations. Eleven RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Synbiotic interventions significantly reduced SBP (−3.02 mmHg; 95% CI: −4.84, −1.21; I ² = 55%) without changing DBP levels (−0.57 mmHg; 95% CI: −1.78, 0.64; I ² = 50%). Subgroup analyses revealed that the SBP-lowering effects of synbiotic interventions were more pronounced wherein trials were longer (≥12 weeks), synbiotic interventions were administrated as a supplement, and participants were younger (<50 years old). Also, a significant improvement in both SBP and DBP levels was evident in subgroups with a lower (<30 kg/m²) body mass index. Synbiotic interventions may significantly improve SBP levels in adults.

    Abstract Objective: We identified and quantified the results of randomized clinical trials by examining the effect of barberry supplementation on blood pressure.
    Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in the medical bibliographic database up to May 2020 on randomized clinical trials investigating the effect of barberry supplementation on adult blood pressure. Intensive literature searches and data extraction according to a prefixed scheme was performed independently by two investigators.
    Results: Through 5 randomized clinical trial studies, 350 subjects with 175 cases for the intervention group and 175 cases for control group were included in our study. The intervention period ranged from 4 to 12 weeks. In general, barberry supplementation did not have a significant effect on systolic blood pressure (WMD: -4.15 mmHg; 95 % CI: -10.3, 1.99, P = 0.185) and diastolic blood pressure (WMD: -1.22 mmHg; 95 % CI: -6.26, 3.82, P = 0.635). Our study was heterogeneous and subgroup analysis did not eliminate heterogeneity.
    Conclusion: Totally, based on this study, we cannot conclude that barberry supplementation has beneficial effects on blood pressure. Also, all included studies had limitations such as different in geographical situations, Dietary of participants, health conditions, and pharmacological forms of berberis. Therefore, further study in this area is recommended.

    Abstract Background: The contribution of vitamin D to thyroid disorders has received paramount attention; however, results are mixed. Hence, we designed a systematic review and meta-analysis to obtain a definitive conclusion.
    Methods: The search included PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases up to March 2021 to collect available papers reporting the relationship between serum levels of vitamin D and thyroid disorders. The pooled effect was reported as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
    Results: Out of 6123 datasets, 42 were eligible to get into this systematic review and meta-analysis. Serum vitamin D was markedly lower in autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) (WMD - 3.1 ng/dl; 95% CI, - 5.57 to - 0.66; P = 0.013; I
    Conclusions: Our findings suggested lower vitamin D levels in patients with hypothyroidism, AITD, and HT compared to healthy subjects. However, the link between serum vitamin D and GD was only significant among subjects ≥40 years old.

    Abstract Background: The present study was conducted to explore the association between adherence to Mediterranean dietary pattern and migraine headache features including frequency, duration, and severity, as well as patients' migraine-related disabilities among the Iranian population diagnosed with migraine.
    Methods:  In the present cross-sectional study on 262 migraine patients aged 20-50 years old, a validated 168-item, food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the dietary intakes of participants. The Mediterranean diet score was calculated for each subject using nine pre-defined dietary components and ranged from 0-9. The headache severity, duration, frequency, migraine headache index score (MHIS), and headache impact test-6 (HIT-6) were measured using related questionnaires.
    Results:  After controlling for potential confounders, Mediterranean diet tended to be associated with lower headache frequency (β = -1.74, 95% CI: -3.53,0.03) and duration (β = -0.28, 95% CI: -0.59, -0.02) and was significantly associated with lower MHIS (β = -29.32, 95% CI: -51.22, -7.42), and HIT-6 score (β = -2.86, 95% CI: -5.40, -0.32) for those in the highest category of Mediterranean diet scores compared to the lowest category. A subgroup analysis of women also revealed a negative association between Mediterranean diet and headaches frequency (β = -2.30, 95% CI: -4.27, -0.32), duration (β = -0.42, 95% CI: -0.78, -0.07), scores of MHIS (β = -47.44, 95% CI: -71.90, -22.99), and HIT-6 (β = -3.45, 95% CI: -6.29, -0.61), after controlling for potential confounders.
    Conclusions: The present study suggests that adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern is associated with lower headache frequency, duration, MHIS, and HIT-6 score.
