Conducted studies indicate the relationship between oral health and systemic diseases. Moreover, the latest research indicated that cariogenic bacteria may severely influence the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and increase risk of COVID-19 complications. This article aims to review various applications of propolis and pay attention to a healthy diet rich in polyphenols, which may allow the reduction of dental plaque accumulation. A literature review has been conducted from June until November 2021. It showed that propolis could be a useful agent in decreasing the accumulation of dental plaque. Moreover, a diet rich in polyphenols prevents cariogenic bacteria and reduces the accumulation of dental plaque. A reduction of a dental plaque may influence the risk of a severe course of COVID-19. Therefore, propolis and a diet rich in polyphenols may play an important role in prophylaxis of systemic diseases. Recently, it has been proven that oral infection may affect cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, nervous system, as well as may be a risk factor for diabetes mellitus. These aspects should stimulate clinicians to further research about polyphenols.

The incidence of both diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is increasing and is becoming a social and economic threat worldwide. Recent research studies indicate that both diseases share some pathophysiological features and that specifically, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between diabetes mellitus and AD, explore the efficacy of selected drugs on patients with diabetes and AD, and compare the relative risk of diabetes for Alzheimer’s disease within different clinical studies. The method of literature search in several acknowledged databases such as Web of Science, Elsevier Science Direct, PubMed and Scopus in the period from 2000 to 2015 for the following keywords: “Alzheimer’s AND disease AND diabetes AND mellitus” was used. The identified studies were divided into two basic groups, based on their focus: efficacy of the selected drugs on patients suffering from AD and diabetes, and a link between diabetes and AD; as diabetes is seen as a risk factor of AD. The findings of this study confirm that there is a close and direct link between diabetes and AD, which indicates that there is a need for early diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and T2DM. In fact, the reviewed clinical trials have proved an increase in the risk of AD. However, the values of this risk are relatively low. The results also illustrate that both pharmacological (e.g., the antidiabetic drugs together with insulin dosing) and nonpharmacological (e.g., being intensively engaged in physical activities) treatments can have a positive effect. The results of this study confirm that diabetes and AD are not independent disorders since they share some common pathophysiological mechanisms. In addition, more clinical randomized control trials are needed to explore the efficacy of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to the treatment of T2DM and AD.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by M. tuberculosis, also known as Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. There is a bidirectional relationship between TB and diabetes, and they both impact the presentation of each other. Diabetes is being increasingly recognized as a risk factor for TB. The expected rise in diabetes cases in developing countries having the brunt of tuberculosis would increase the influence of diabetes on TB in the coming future. The impact and relationship between TB and diabetes will vary across different regions of the world depending on the incidence and prevalence of each condition. Patient education is so important in understanding the disease nature (both TB and diabetes), duration of treatment, side effects of drugs, and complications of disease as well as the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices. The objective of this review is to determine the prevalence, diagnostic and prevention strategy between diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis. The selected studies were identified using Pub Med database. The identified studies define lifestyle as important risk factor that may worsen the progression of the disease. This article also discussed about the prevalence of tuberculosis-diabetes mellitus over a span of 8 years.

Abstract The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in primary aldosteronism (PA) patients is higher than essential hypertension patients and general population. Though both DM and PA play an important role in the progression of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (CCV) diseases, the relationship between DM and these diseases in PA patients have not been evaluated.The aim of this study was to investigate whether DM was involved in the risk of CCV events and the progression of renal disorder in PA patients. This study was conducted as a part of the Japan Primary Aldosteronism Study/ Japan Rare Intractable Adrenal Diseases Study (JPAS/JRAS) study and retrospective cross-sectional analysis. The nationwide PA registry in Japan was established at 29 centers, including 15 university hospitals and 14 city hospitals. Patients, who were diagnosed PA between January 2006 and October 2016 and had available data of CCV events and DM, were enrolled (n=2,524). Logistic and liner-regression analysis for CCV events and renal parameters were performed. DM significantly increased the odds ratio of CCV events (OR 1.59, 95% CI: 1.05-2.41). DM also significantly increased the odds ratio of proteinuria (OR 2.25, 95% CI: 1.59-3.16) and had significant positive correlation with declines in eGFR (β=0.05, p=0.02). In conclusion, DM is an independent risk factor for CCV events and proteinuria in PA patients. We should pay attention to whether DM coexists with PA and treat both DM and PA to prevent the exacerbation of CCV diseases and kidney disease.
