Authors:Burton MJ, Clarkson JE, Goulao B, Glenny AM, McBain AJ, Schilder AG. PMID:PMC8188293 DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD013628.pub2 Abstract Background: COVID-19 infection poses a serious risk to patients and - due to its contagious nature - to those healthcare workers (HCWs) treating them. The risks of transmission of infection are greater when a patient is undergoing an aerosol-generating [...]

PMID: PMC7454736 DOI: 10.1093/infdis/jiaa471 Abstract The ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic creates a significant threat to global health. Recent studies suggested the significance of throat and salivary glands as major sites of virus replication and transmission during early coronavirus disease 2019, [...]

Authors: Somi VK, Mehta A, Ratre YK, Tiwari AK, Amit A. PMID: PMC7832734 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2020.173551 Abstract The severity of the recent pandemic and the absence of any specific medication impelled the identification of existing drugs with potential in the treatment of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Curcumin, known for its [...]

Authors:Radujkovic A, Hippchen T, Tiwari-Heckler S, Dreher S, Merle U. PMID: PMC7551780 DOI: 10.3390/nu12092757 Abstract Infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses an enormous challenge to health care systems throughout the world. Without causal treatment, identification of modifiable prognostic factors may help to improve outcomes. To explore possible [...]

PMID: 33039952 PMCID: PMC7832811 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2020.111017 Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine clinical outcomes of older patients with coronavirus (COVID-19) who received a combination of vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin B12 (DMB) compared with those who did not. We hypothesized [...]

Authors:Israel A, Cicurel A, Feldhamer I, Dror Y, Giveon SM, Gillis D et al. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.04.20188268 Abstract BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest a link between vitamin D deficiency and Covid-19 infection. In our population we observe major differences in Covid-19 incidence in ethnic groups and genders in each group. METHODS We carried [...]

Authors:Rizzoli R. PMID: PMC7897606 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-020-01678-x Abstract Vitamin D overdosing includes hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and mineral deposits in soft tissues. A safety upper limit of 4000 IU/day, which is consistently accepted, has been challenged, since the risk of adverse events in other systems than calcium-phosphate homeostasis may depend not only on the dose, [...]

Authors:Vergara-Buenaventura A, Castro-ruiz C. PMID: PMC7428696 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2020.08.016 Abstract The proximity to the patient during dental care, high generation of aerosols, and the identification of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva have suggested the oral cavity as a potential reservoir for COVID-19 transmission. Mouthwashes are widely-used solutions due to their ability to reduce the number of microorganisms in [...]
