Monitoring the utilization and effectiveness of Iron and Vitamin D supplementations program and its predictive factors in high schools ’ girls in Qom, Iran
Conclusion:The inadequate and incomplete rate of IVDSP in Qom was high and more than 60% of distributed supplementations have been wasted. Our results showed that students who were participated in educational orientation classes were more successful and eager in iron and vitamin D3 consumption.  Therefore, it is recommended to increase interventions at individual, interpersonal, intra-organizational and inter-organizational levels in order to fully support the program and ultimately increase the efficiency of the program.  (Source: Journal of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene)

Design, synthesis, and biological activity of D-bishomo-1 α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D < sub > 3 < /sub > analogs and their crystal structures with the vitamin D nuclear receptor
In this study, we present the synthesis of vitamin D derivatives characterized by an enlarged (seven-membered) ring D. Preparation of the designed vitamin D compounds required separate syntheses of crucial building blocks (C/D-rings fragments with side chain and rings A) which were combined by different methods, including Wittig-Horner reaction and Suzuki coupling. Biological activities of the target vitamin D analogs were assessed both in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating their significant potency compared to the natural hormone. Furthermore, the successful crystallization of these compounds with the vitamin D receptor (VD...

Investigating the level of vitamin D receptor gene expression in two tumoral and healthy breast tissues in breast cancer patients and its association with prognostic factors
CONCLUSIONS: The expression level of VDR in healthy tissue was significantly higher than tumoral tissue. However, there was no significant relationship between VDR and tumor grade, HER2, ER, PR, LVI, LN, disease stage, age, and tumor size.PMID:38616231 | DOI:10.1186/s43046-024-00215-5 (Source: J Egypt Natl Canc In...)

Hypovitaminosis D and hyperparathyroidism: a 5-year postoperative follow-up of 30,458 gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy patients
CONCLUSIONS: Previous studies alongside these results suggest that RYGB, more so than SG, may cause hypovitaminosis D and thereby hyperparathyroidism, which could lead to osteopenia. The threshold for 25-OH-D should be >75 nmol/L, and despite higher levels, current vitamin D supplementation may not be sufficient. Follow-up should include screening for hyperparathyroidism and hypovitaminosis D.PMID:38614927 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2024.02.004 (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery)

Effects of anti-osteoporosis treatment in elderly patients with osteoporosis and lumbar discectomy and fusion
CONCLUSION: In elderly patients with LIF and osteoporosis, anti-osteoporosis therapy could reduce bone resorption and thus facilitate fusion. Anti-osteoporosis medication tends to enhance radiological, functional, and fusion short-term outcomes.PMID:38607748 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230381 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)
