Qingzhuan tea (QZT), a post-fermented tea, has been reported to have anti-obesity and anti-hyperglycemic effects, perhaps due to bioactive compounds that inhibit lipase and α-amylase. It is unknown what chemical constituents' changes and what bioactive compounds occur during the manufacture of QZT.
OBJECTIVE
Constipation is widely believed to cause hemorrhoids. However, recent evidence questions the importance of constipation in the development of this common disorder. In the present study, the association of hemorrhoids with constipation and other potential risk factors was
BACKGROUND

Adults with disabilities often have worse health outcomes than do their peers without disabilities. While education is a key determinant of health, there is little research available on the health disparities across education levels among adults with disabilities in developing Haemorrhoids are defined as the distal displacement and venous distention of the normal hemorrhoidal cushions. Multiple factors have been claimed to be causes of hemorrhoidal development, but the exact pathophysiology is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to assess how OBJECTIVE
