Assessment of Vitamin D Deficiency in Patients with Neurological Disorders (P03.271)
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study may have been biased by the type of the study population (hospital-based) and the small size of the sample. However, the frequent association between Vitamin D deficiency and neurologic disorders indicates that this vitamin may have a fundamental role in physiologic and pathological processes of the Nervous System, particularly in patients over 65 years of age. Vitamin D deficiency should be investigated routinely in clinical practice as the detection of this parameter may have important therapeutic implications.Disclosure: Dr. Triggiani has nothing to disclose.

Vitamin D, arterial hypertension & cerebrovascular disease.
Vitamin D, arterial hypertension & cerebrovascular disease. Indian J Med Res. 2013 Apr;137(4):669-679 Authors: Kienreich K, Grubler M, Tomaschitz A, Schmid J, Verheyen N, Rutters F, Dekker JM, Pilz S Abstract Vitamin D is mainly derived from endogenous ultraviolet-B induced vitamin D synthesis in the skin, and the current high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency can, therefore, largely be attributed to lifestyle related low sunlight exposure. Regulation of bone and mineral metabolism is a classic vitamin D effect, but the identification of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in almost all human cells suggests ...

Lack of vitamin D may 'raise dementia risk'
Conclusion This cohort study of more than 1,650 elderly people has found that over 5.6 years, severe vitamin D deficiency is associated with approximately twice the risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease. It also found moderate deficiency is associated with a 50% increase in risk compared with healthy levels of vitamin D. With this being a cohort study, it was not able to show that low levels of vitamin D caused dementia or Alzheimer's disease – it was simply able to show an association. Other factors that can increase the risk of developing dementia, such as a poor diet, lack of activity and general poor h...

Vitamin D and the risk of dementia and Alzheimer disease
Conclusion: Our results confirm that vitamin D deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer disease. This adds to the ongoing debate about the role of vitamin D in nonskeletal conditions.

Elevated Parathyroid Hormone, But Not Vitamin D Deficiency, Is Associated With Increased Risk of Heart Failure in Older Men With and Without Cardiovascular Disease Original Articles
Conclusions— Elevated PTH, but not 25-hydroxyvitamin D or other markers of mineral metabolism, is associated with increased risk of HF in both older men with and without myocardial infarction/stroke. This increased risk was not explained by its association with known risk factors for HF. Further studies are now needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this association.

Effect of Vitamin D Level on Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with LVAD, both deficiency and insufficiency of 25-OH vitamin D levels are independently associated with increased postoperative driveline infection risk and higher rate of readmission. Further trials are needed to confirm whether a repletion regimen could be a promising means of decreasing the risk for these postoperative adverse events.

E-061 Moyamoya syndrome patients have low vitamin D
ConclusionOur data indicate a large proportion of moyamoya syndrome patients are deficient in vitamin D, which we hypothesize contributes to pathological severity. Future studies incorporating vitamin D supplementation may act as a novel intervention for this patient population that currently has few treatment options.Disclosures J. Fraser: None. L.

Any defence of sugar is pure confection | Aseem Malhotra
More and more people are challenging the food industry's PR machine. The evidence shows that sugar, not fat, is the enemyThe public health minister, Anna Soubry, has commented that the poor are more likely to be obese. It is well known that social status is linked to health, but her comments were also motivated by a mentality that victimises the most vulnerable. She should really be directing her criticism at the food industry. There is no doubt that an oversupply of cheap junk food fuelled by unregulated and irresponsible marketing limits our ability to make healthy choices. But there is an equally important question that...

The world pandemic of Vitamin D deficit could possibly be explained by cellular inflammatory response activity induced by the renin angiotensin system.
Abstract This review attempts to show that there may be a relationship between inflammatory processes induced by chronic overstimulation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and the worldwide vitamin D (VitD) deficiency, and probably both disorders are associated with environmental factors. Low VitD levels represent a risk factor for several apparently different diseases such as infectious, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer. Moreover, VitD insufficiency seems to predispose hypertension, metabolic syndrome, left ventricular hypertrophy, heart ...

Is this Dementia or Alcohol Intoxication or Both?
I am presenting the case of an independent lady whose active alcohol abuse masked her new onset dementia. Ms. G is a 76 year old female who lives alone in a continuum of care retirement community. She has difficult-to-control hypertension, hypothyroidism, B12 deficiency, anxiety, and adjustment disorder which started after her husband, who was an alcoholic, committed suicide. She struggled with alcohol abuse herself through the years. She takes citalopram, amlodipine, B12 injections, and vitamin D supplements. She has lived in this community for 4 years. She has made new friends and currently has a new boyfriend, with who...

Serum vitamin D deficiency and its association with systemic disease in exfoliation syndrome.
Conclusions: Although vitamin D levels were similar between XFS and control subjects, the levels were found to be decreased in both groups. Patients with XFS had a significantly higher prevalence of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease as compared to controls independent of their 
serum 25(OH) D levels. Low vitamin D level does not appear to be linked to XFS in the studied population. PMID: 23564611 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does low serum 25 OH vitamin D interact with very strenuous physical activity, facilitating development of rhabdomyolysis?
Conclusion: We suggest that when very low vitamin D is documented, it be normalized before major prolonged exertion. We hypothesize that normalization of vitamin D before heavy exertion could perhaps prevent the severe muscle damage events and sequelae as was the case for this patient.
