TL;DR: It is suggested that the prevalence of eating disorders among female adolescents in Teheran is comparable to prevalence rates reported by studies in Western societies, and somewhat higher than what has been reported in other non-Western societies.
Abstract: Objective
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) as well as the prevalence of weight concerns and weight loss behaviors among schoolgirls in Tehran, Iran.
Method
A two-stage approach was used. We screened a large sample of adolescent girls aged 15–18 (n = 3,100) with a Persian translation of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Girls who screened positively were further evaluated with the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Inventory and a supplementary clinical interview.
Results
Results showed a lifetime prevalence of 0.9% for AN, 3.2% for BN, and 6.6% for the partial syndrome. Body dissatisfaction and a desire to be thin were common in this population.
Discussion
This study suggests that the prevalence of eating disorders among female adolescents in Teheran is comparable to prevalence rates reported by studies in Western societies, and somewhat higher than what has been reported in other non-Western societies. © 2000 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

TL;DR: A literature overview on Zingiber spp.
Abstract: Plants of the genus Zingiber (Family Zingiberaceae) are widely used throughout the world as food and medicinal plants. They represent very popular herbal remedies in various traditional healing systems; in particular, rhizome of Zingiber spp. plants has a long history of ethnobotanical uses because of a plethora of curative properties. Antimicrobial activity of rhizome essential oil has been extensively confirmed in vitro and attributed to its chemical components, mainly consisting of monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons such as α-zingiberene, ar-curcumene, β-bisabolene and β-sesquiphellandrene. In addition, gingerols have been identified as the major active components in the fresh rhizome, whereas shogaols, dehydrated gingerol derivatives, are the predominant pungent constituents in dried rhizome. Zingiber spp. may thus represent a promising and innovative source of natural alternatives to chemical food preservatives. This approach would meet the increasing concern of consumers aware of the potential health risks associated with the conventional antimicrobial agents in food. This narrative review aims at providing a literature overview on Zingiber spp. plants, their cultivation, traditional uses, phytochemical constituents and biological activities.

TL;DR: These global and national estimates demonstrate that CAVD and degenerative mitral valve disease are important causes of disease burden among older adults, with highest age-standardized DALY rates of CAVD estimated for high-income countries.
Abstract: Background: Nonrheumatic valvular diseases are common; however, no studies have estimated their global or national burden. As part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017, mortality, prevalence,...
