Auhtors: Reddy P, Edwards LR PMID: 28471760 DOI: 10.1097/MJT.0000000000000538 Abstract Background: Vitamin D and magnesium (Mg) are some of the most studied topics in medicine with enormous implications for human health and disease. Majority of the adults are deficient in both vitamin D and magnesium but continue to go unrecognized by many health care professionals. [...]

Auhtors: Ng K, Venook AP, Sato K, Yuan C, Hollis BW, Chang IW, et al. doi: https://doi.org/10.1200/jco.2015.33.15_suppl.3503 Abstract Background: Prospective epidemiologic data suggest that higher levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] are associated with improved survival in patients with colorectal cancer, however the relationship between 25(OH)D and outcome in metastatic CRC (mCRC), specifically, is unknown. Methods: [...]

Authors:Dancer RC, Parekh D, Lax S, D'Souza VD, Zheng S, Bassford CR et al. PMID: PMC4484044 DOI: 10.1136/thoraxjnl-2014-206680 Abstract Rationale: Vitamin D deficiency has been implicated as a pathogenic factor in sepsis and intensive therapy unit mortality but has not been assessed as a risk factor for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Causality of these [...]

PMID: 24690623 PMCID: PMC3972416 DOI: 10.1136/bmj.g1903 Abstract Objective: To evaluate the extent to which circulating biomarker and supplements of vitamin D are associated with mortality from cardiovascular, cancer, or other conditions, under various circumstances. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of [...]

Authors:Bergman P, Lindh AU, Bjorkhem-Bergman L, Lindhagen L. PMID:PMC3686844 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0065835 Abstract Background: Low levels of 25-OH vitamin D are associated with respiratory tract infection (RTI). However, results from randomized controlled trials are inconclusive. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the preventive effect of vitamin D supplementation [...]

The aim of the present study is to summarize existing literature on vitamin D levels in adults in different continents and different countries worldwide. The best determinant of vitamin D status is the serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D).

Auhtors: Bartley J PMID: 21133662 DOI: 10.1586/eri.10.102 Abstract In the preantibiotic era, TB of the skin was treated successfully with UV light. By the 1920s, pulmonary TB was being treated with regular sun exposure. During the last decade, basic laboratory research into the antimicrobial actions of vitamin D has provided new insights into these historical [...]

In the preantibiotic era, TB of the skin was treated successfully with UV light. By the 1920s, pulmonary TB was being treated with regular sun exposure. During the last decade, basic laboratory research into the antimicrobial actions of vitamin D has provided new insights into these historical observations.

Therefore, we investigated whether their association could lead to an enhanced anticancer [...]

Auhtors: Brandi ML PMID: 22460535 PMCID: PMC3213838 Abstract Many arguments are favouring a renewed interest in vitamin D physiology, with a consequent increase in the number of scientific publications and media reports (1). Not surprisingly, TIME magazine nominated vitamin D as one of the “top medical breakthroughs” in the December issue of 2007. This vigorous [...]
