Background: Finding the relation between complete blood count (CBC) parameters and ischemic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes among a large normal population, for the first time.
Methods: Participants of the first phase of the MASHAD cohort study were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Twelve-lead ECGs were taken from participants.
The increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has raised concerns about their impact on human health, yet their relationship with mental health remains debated. This study aimed to investigate the association between UPF intake and sleep adequacy, as well as the severity of anxiety and depression in Iranian adults.

reactive oxygen species, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. Due to Lycopene, a highly unstable structure and
its significant effects on modulating the metabolic system, there is a strong need for a formula that can increase its
stability. The aim of this study was to develop an approach for encapsulating Lycopene and investigate its effects on
inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, and liver enzymes in patients with MetS.
