ABSTRACT
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a gut-derived hormone released after a meal, which alleviates hyperglycemia, increases beta-cell survival, reduces body weight, and reduces inflammation. These thrilling effects motivated clinical studies to discover the potential use of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in the management of T2D. GLP-1 RAs are potential anti-diabetic agents that can reduce blood pressure, glucose levels, HbA1c and, weight loss without hypoglycemia risk. This manuscript reviews the importance of GLP-1 RAs and their role in the management of T2D with or without COVID-19 infection. Hence, this manuscript can help physicians and researchers to choose the most appropriate drugs for the individualized treatment of subjects. Copyright © 2022 Mirzaei et al.
ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 situation, everyone was asked to stay at home. Students were asked to follow their education using online platforms. A long time staying at home and using a laptop or computer for more than 4-5 hours a day in a sitting position, could lead to different types of Musculo-skeletal disorders such as neck, shoulder, and lower back pain. With regards to this issue, we tried to collect important data about the relationship between online education and musculoskeletal pain in the COVID-19 situation. For this purpose, published papers during the COVID-19 pandemic until now, with a focus on keywords including COVID-19, musculoskeletal pain, and online education were analyzed. The findings of this paper showed that there is a positive relationship between online education and musculoskeletal pain in students. Copyright © 2022 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
