New Studies Give Mixed Results About Taking Fish Oil and Vitamin D
(CHICAGO) — Taking fish oil or vitamin D? Big studies give long-awaited answers on who does and does not benefit from these popular nutrients.
Fish oil taken by healthy people, at a dose found in many supplements, showed no clear ability to lower heart or cancer risks. Same for vitamin D.
But higher amounts of a purified, prescription fish oil slashed heart problems and heart-related deaths among people with high triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and other risks for heart disease. Doctors cheered the results and said they could suggest a new treatment option for hundreds of thousands of patients like these.

Fish Oil and Vitamin D Supplements May Not Help Prevent Heart Attacks and Cancer, Study Says
There’s good evidence that fish oil supplements may lower the risk of second heart events — like a heart attack or stroke — in people with heart disease, but few rigorous studies have investigated whether the supplement can help people to lower their risk of having a heart event in the first place. And while some data suggests that people with lower levels of vitamin D tend to have higher rates of heart disease and cancer, the evidence isn’t solid.
Now, a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association offers more findi...

Study of Correlation of Serum Vitamin D Levels with Arterial Stiffness and Cardiovascular Morbidity in Elderly Individuals of Western Rajasthan.
Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is quite common condition in elderly individuals which besides its bone mineralization action is also involved in cardiovascular functions. Deficiency of vitamin D may cause increase in arterial stiffness and widening of pulse pressure which are the predictor of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Vitamin D status and its association with season, depression in stroke
ConclusionsVitamin D deficiency and insufficiency occur at high rates in acute stroke patients. Low serum vitamin D levels were associated with depression in patients with acute stroke as analyzed by both the absolute level of vitamin D and month-specific tertiles. Intervention studies are needed to determine the benefits of vitamin D supplementation for depression in poststroke patients.

Analytical methods for cholesterol quantification
Publication date: Available online 4 October 2018Source: Journal of Food and Drug AnalysisAuthor(s): Li-Hua Li, Ewelina P. Dutkiewicz, Ying-Chen Huang, Hsin-Bai Zhou, Cheng-Chih HsuAbstractCholesterol is an important lipid molecule in cell membranes and lipoproteins. Cholesterol is also a precursors of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D. Abnormal levels of cholesterol or its precursors have been observed in various human diseases, such as heart diseases, stroke, type II diabetes, brain diseases and many others. Therefore, accurate quantification of cholesterol is important for individuals who are at increased risk...

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency predicts poor outcome among acute ischemic stroke patients without hypertension
Publication date: Available online 3 May 2018Source: Neurochemistry InternationalAuthor(s): Bingjun Zhang, Yuge Wang, Yi Zhong, Siyuan Liao, Zhengqi LuAbstract25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency is a frequent condition in patients who suffer acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and several studies suggested that it may be associated with a poorer prognosis. Whether this association is affected by hypertension is unclear. Our aim was to investigate the association between 25(OH)D levels and both clinical severity and outcome after 3 months in AIS patients stratified by the history of hypertension. Consecutive first-ever AIS pa...

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.
