Parathormone levels add prognostic ability to N ‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide in stable coronary patients
ConclusionsParathormone is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in coronary patients, adding complimentary prognostic information to NT ‐proBNP plasma levels. This predictive value is restricted to patients with high FGF23 plasma levels. This should be considered in the design of future studies in this field.

Independent and Combined Effects of Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation on Blood Lipids in Overweight or Obese Premenopausal Women: A Triple ‑Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Conclusions: Although the results were not significantly different among the four treated groups at 8 weeks, within ‑group changes like the reduction in triglyceride and LDL levels, respectively in the Ca group and Ca + Vit D group, and HDL levels in both the Ca and Ca + Vit D groups were significant. These changes may have potentially significant public health implications.

Retracted: Effect of immobilization on vitamin D status and bone mass in chronically hospitalized disabled stroke patients
Following the appraisal of new information, the editorial board of Age and Ageing have retracted this paper from the scientific record. In February 2019, Age and Ageing published an expression of concern online regarding this paper, noting multiple issues with the data presented in the manuscript. Further information has now come to light in that, at the time of data collection for the reported work, neither the hospital nor the academic institution to which the lead author was affiliated, and where the study participants were recruited, had an institutional review board to provide ethical approval for the work reported. N...

Weak UVB Irradiation Promotes Macrophage M2 Polarization and Stabilizes Atherosclerosis
AbstractAtherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic cardiovascular disease endangering human health and is one of the most common causes of myocardial infarction and stroke. Macrophage polarization plays a vital role in regulating plaque stability. As an important component of sunlight, ultraviolet B (UVB) has been proven to promote vitamin D and nitric oxide synthesis. This research used an AS model in ApoE−/− mice to study the effects of UVB on macrophage polarization and atherosclerotic plaque stability. In vitro, UVB irradiation increased arginase-I (Arg-I, M2 macrophage) and macrophage mannose receptor (CD206) expression, w...

A repeated measures approach to pooled and calibrated biomarker data
Biometrics. 2021 Dec 30. doi: 10.1111/biom.13618. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParticipant level meta-analysis across multiple studies increases the sample size for pooled analyses, thereby improving precision in effect estimates and enabling subgroup analyses. For analyses involving biomarker measurements as an exposure of interest, investigators must first calibrate the data to address measurement variability arising from usage of different laboratories and/or assays. In practice, the calibration process involves reassaying a random subset of biospecimens from each study at a central laboratory and fitting models that r...

Vitamin D supplementation and prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer in the Finnish Vitamin D Trial-a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D3 supplementation did not lower the incidence of major CVD events or invasive cancer among older adults, possibly due to sufficient vitamin D status in most participants at baseline. Clinical Trial Registry number: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01463813, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01463813.PMID:34982819 | DOI:10.1093/ajcn/nqab419

Mendelian randomization analysis of vitamin D in the secondary prevention of hypertensive-diabetic subjects: role of facilitating blood pressure control
ConclusionsGenetically predicted increase in Vit-D status [25(OH)D] may confer secondary protection against incident combined CVD events and myocardial infarction in a hypertensive-diabetic population where serological 25(OH)D deficiency is common, through facilitating blood pressure control.

Vitamin D and its possible relationship to neuroprotection in COVID-19: evidence in the literature
Curr Top Med Chem. 2022 Apr 1. doi: 10.2174/1568026622666220401140737. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVitamin D is a hormone involved in the regulation of important biological processes such as signal transduction, immune response, metabolic regulation and also in the nervous and vascular systems. To date, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection does not have a specific treatment, however various drugs have been proposed, including those that attenuate the intense inflammatory response and recently the use of vitamin D, in clinical trials, as part of the treatment of COVID-19 has provided promising results. It has bee...

What the Science Says About the Health Benefits of Vitamins and Supplements
From multivitamins and melatonin to fiber and fish oil, Americans who are trying to boost their health and immunity have a plethora of supplements to choose from. An estimated 58% of U.S. adults ages 20 and over take dietary supplements, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the supplement industry is valued at more than $30 billion a year. Supplement use has been growing rapidly over the past few decades along with the wellness industry.
“The popular belief is that a supplement is going to be helpful for promoting health,” says Fang Fang Zhang, a professor at Tufts University&rs...

Intra-plaque calcium and its relation with the progression of carotid atheromatous disease
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that a higher content of Ca confers greater stability against the progression of carotid AD and, eventually, its ability to generate symptomatology.PMID:35583455 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.22.04872-6
