Does vitamin D have an effect on osseointegration of dental implants? A systematic review
ConclusionsVitamin D deficiency seems to have a negative effect on the osseointegration of implants in animals. The supplementation of vitamin D appears to improve the osseointegration in animals with systemic diseases, such as vitamin D deficiency, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and CKD. Slight evidence supports the hypothesis that humans similarly benefit from vitamin D supplementation in terms of osseointegration. Further investigation is required to maintain these assumptions.

Does accepted definition of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) severity predict poor outcomes in older adults?
Background: Advanced age is an important factor affecting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) risk and outcome. While fever and leukocytosis are prominent findings in young individuals with CDI, they are usually blunted in the elderly. Furthermore, chronic kidney disease often exists among this population prior to the CDI episode onset.
Aim: We aimed to examine whether the accepted definition of severe CDI (leukocytosis ≥ 15,000 cells/μl or serum creatinine> 1.5 mg/dl) predicts poor outcomes in the elderly.
Methods: All CDI hospitalized individuals between January-2013 and May-2020 were included. The study popula...
