Objectives:
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) causes the irreversible destruction of pancreatic beta cells. The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine can modulate the immune response and decelerate disease progression. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Objectives:
Data on the association of nut intake with risk of cancer and its mortality are conflicting. Although previous meta-analyses summarized available findings in this regard, some limitations may distort their findings. Moreover, none of these meta-analyses examined the dose-response associations of total nut intake with the risk of specific cancers as well as associations between specific types of nuts and cancer mortality. Therefore, this review article (meta-analysis) has been conducted.

Objectives:
Numerous clinical trials and observational studies have investigated various pharmacological agents as potential treatment for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the results are heterogeneous and sometimes even contradictory to one another, making it difficult for clinicians to determine which treatments are truly effective. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Do patients with tuberculosis benefit from micro-nutrients support during an anti-tuberculosis treatment?

Study design:
This review article included a total of 13 RCTs with a total of 2,847 participants.
The duration of the experimental group with micro-nutrients support was more than 2 weeks.

Objectives:
At the beginning of 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) led to a worldwide pandemic and mass panic. The number of infected people has been increasing exponentially since and the mortality rate has also been concomitantly increasing. At present, no study has summarized the mortality risk of COVID-19 in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Objectives:
Does dietary acrylamide intake increase risk of breast, endometrial and ovarian cancer?

Study design:
This review article included 14 prospective cohort studies.

Results and conclusions:
The investigators found no significant association between dietary acrylamide intake and the risk of breast [RR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.90 to 1.01], endometrial [RR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.89 to 1.19] and ovarian cancers [RR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.84 to 1.24].
