Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by impaired glycemic control, which increases the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic complications. Exercise is a key non-pharmacological intervention known to improve blood glucose regulation, but the acute effects of different exercise modalities on glycemic control in T2DM remain unclear. The aim of this systematic review was to critically analyze and synthesize the existing body of research on the acute effects of various exercise modalities on glycemic control in patients with T2DM. This systematic review included studies involving adults (≥ 18 years) with T2DM where structured exercise program is the primary or significant intervention, assessing outcomes related to glycemic control (HbA1c, and fasting glucose). A comprehensive search was conducted across two electronic databases (Web of Science and PubMed) using structured search terms like "acute", "exercise", "type 2 diabetes", and "glycemic control". Study selection involved two independent reviewers screening articles, with disagreements resolved through discussion or third-party consultation, followed by detailed data extraction on study characteristics, intervention details, and outcomes. Ten studies were identified that met all inclusion criteria. This systematic review highlights that moderate intensity continuous training and high-intensity interval training have positive acute effects on glycemic control in individuals with T2DM. These findings suggest that both modalities are effective non-pharmacological strategies for optimizing glycemic control in patients T2DM.

In this study, the nutrient contents of "Kati", a fermented cereal-based food, was revealed and antifungal activity of bacteriocin producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from "Kati" was assessed against aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus). The protein content (9.29%) of "Kati" was higher than (p < 0.05) wet milled-fermented sorghum (6.17%). During fermentation of milled sorghum to ready-to-eat 'Kati', anti-nutrient contents was reduced (p < 0.05) from 1.22 to 0.72 mg/100 g, 3.13 to 1.13 mg/100 g and 7.31 to 3.02 mg/100 g for tannin, phenol and phytates, respectively. Molecular technique revealed the identity of isolated LAB as Lactobacillus pentosus BS MP-10, L. paracasei 4G330, L. brevis ABRIINW, L. casei KG-5, L. sakei strain RFI LAB03, L. fermentum JCM 8607, L. plantarum KLDS 1.0607, L. rhamnosus JCM 8602 and L. lactis XLL1734. Among the isolated LAB, L. plantarum, L. lactis and L. fermentum have significant (p < 0.05) zones of inhibition of 11.0 mm, 9.1 mm and 7.8 mm, respectively, against aflatoxigenic A. flavus. The pronounced antifungal potency of L. plantarum cell free supernatant could be attributed to the presence of 3-phenyllactic acid, benzeneacetic acid, plantaricin (bacteriocin) as revealed by gas chromatography/mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). LAB produced metabolites with antifungal property that contributed to shelf life, flavor and nutrient contents of fermented foods.

Restoring the morphological and functional integrity of damaged or lost teeth and replacing them with suitable materials remains a significant challenge in modern dentistry. A continuous development of new restorative materials aims to improve mechanical properties, aesthetic outcomes, and longevity of dental restorations, while minimizing adverse biological effects. Biocompatibility represents a fundamental requirement of all dental materials, referring to their ability to perform a specific function in the oral environment without eliciting undesirable local or systemic tissue responses. The oral mucosa, including the lips, is constantly exposed to numerous physical, chemical, and biological agents that may act as irritants or sensitizers. Given that most dental materials are designed for prolonged intraoral use, their continuous contact with oral tissues can influence mucosal integrity and function. Clinical manifestations of adverse reactions vary in severity and presentation, often depending on the material composition, exposure duration, and individual patient sensitivity. Local tissue reactions associated with dental materials include conditions such as oral stomatitis, mechanical trauma, thermal and chemical burns, toxic effects, and allergic reactions. Accurate diagnosis and identification of the underlying causative factor are essential for selecting appropriate therapeutic measures and preventing complications. The growing demand for aesthetic and durable restorations underscores the importance of continuous evaluation and improvement of material biocompatibility in contemporary dental practice.
