Filter by:It is uncertain whether vitD3 supplementation is beneficial for the remission of ulcerative colitis (UC). The effects of vitD3 supplements on the efficacy of vidrecizumab in Chinese UC patients were retrospectively analyzed. Methods: Patients with moderate to severe UC were recorded. These patients were initially treated with VDZ. VitD3 supplementation was defined as 400IU/d vitD3 supplementation during the first infusion of VDZ and continued throughout the follow-up period. Disease activity was assessed using the modified Mayo score.
The goal of this double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of the administration of magnesium chloride + vitamin D as an adjuvant in the treatment of post-Coronavirus Disease (COVID) syndrome. The participants will be integrated: a) Intervention group that will receive 1 g of magnesium chloride (equivalent to 300 mg of elemental magnesium) + 4000 IU of vitamin D once a day, for four months. b) Control group that will receive inert placebo for four months. The outcome variable will be the improvement of the post-COVID syndrome. At the beginning and end of the study, blood samples will be taken to determine serum levels of vitamin D, total magnesium, ionic magnesium, calcium, fasting glucose and lipid profile. The evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the proposed intervention will be carried out by establishing the differences between the intervention and control groups.
The aim of this interventional study is to assess the effect of the single high dose of vitamin D on its serum metabolites in elderly. The main questions it attempts to answer is: 1. what is the effect of a single, high, oral dose of vitamin D3 (120,000 IU) on serum 25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 24,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3/25(OH)D3 ratio, and 25(OH)D3/3-epi-25(OH)D3 ratio concentration at baseline, 3 days and 7 days after administration, compared to control group. 2. what is the influence of percentage of fat tissue on serum metabolites of vitamin D and their changes after bolus dose, compared to control group.
Patients with colorectal cancer will be recruited to undergo vitamin D supplementation in the peri-operative period. Vitamin D levels (25OHD) will be measured to assess response to supplementation.
This placebo-controlled five-day study will be performed on 100 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with vitamin D insufficiency randomized into two groups. Vitamin D in the form of a sublingual sprayable microemulsion (LYL love your life® sunD3 LYLmicro™) is given three times daily after breakfast, lunch, and dinner (daily dose 12,000 IU) to patients with blood vitamin D levels below 30 ng/ml. The control (placebo) group recieves a placebo spray in the same daily regimen.
Vitamin D deficiency is now considered a global problem in general population, but it seemed to be more prominent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, especially those on regular hemodialysis. Being a key regulator in mineral metabolism, there's also emerging evidences linking vitamin D deficiency with inflammation and oxidative stress, which are both recognized as constant threats to cardiovascular outcomes in hemodialysis patients. It's prospective, randomized trial that's carried out to evaluate the effect of weekly versus, monthly oral cholecalciferol, on vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, oxidative stress markers, inflammatory markers and secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients. Fifty eligible hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to either Group A (Oral 50.000IU Cholecalciferol, once weekly) or Group B (Oral 200.000IU Cholecalciferol, once monthly), for 3 months. Serum levels of (25(OH)D), serum malondialdehyde (MDA), serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), serum high sensitive (hsCRP), calcium, phosphorus, and intact parathormone (iPTH) levels, were all assessed at baseline and at the end of the study
Decreased immunity in individuals causes a decrease in vaccine response, and vitamin D worsens this course. Vitamin D is thought to be a vitamin that can strengthen the innate immune response, inhibit the adaptive system, and modulate the vaccine response. The effect of vitamin D intake on antibodies was studied.
Vitamin D insufficiency, defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (OH) D level less than 30 ng/ml, is highly prevalent not only in the general population but also in chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. Many guidelines including the National Kidney Foundation-Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-KDOQI) have consistently recommended vitamin D supplementation in patients with pre-dialysis CKD with vitamin D insufficiency with ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol to achieve 25(OH)D level of more than 30 ng/ml using serum levels-based titration regimen. However, this protocol has not been studied in end stage kidney disease patients treated with maintenance dialysis.
Obesity is likely to be the disease of the 21th century. The growth of obesity is worldwide, a pandemic, and has increased globally in the last 30 years. Developed countries were more affected, but developing countries have increasingly contributed to this epidemic as they continue to modernize. The national and global burden of obesity, with its public health and financial implications, is projected to increase markedly in the next two decades. the study aimed to assess the effect of Vit D supplementation on preventing altered levels of calcium, Vit D, and parathormone after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Dry eye disease is multifactorial, ocular inflammatory condition causing irritation, stinging sensation, uneasiness and blurring. Non-Sjogren syndrome occurs due to absent or dysfunction of lacrimal gland. Fat soluble vitamin D act as an agent against inflammation and its deficiency may result in various inflammatory diseases including dry eye. Purpose of this study is evaluation of vitamin D3 supplementation role in treating non-Sjogren dry eye along with conventional treatment by using artificial tears in patients with hypovitaminosis D. A prospective study was conducted in Rural health center(RHC) Buchal Kalan on 108 patients presenting with non-Sjogren dry eyes and low serum vitamin D levels. Patients were subjected to the following examination; best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, fundoscopy, tear breakup time (TBUT) after fluorescein staining, Schirmer tear test, numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score on day 0, 15, 30, 60 and 90. Vitamin D levels was assessed by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) based analyzer. The sample was randomly divided into two groups by non-probability purposive sampling. Group 1 received only artificial tears 4times/day while group 2 were given oral vitamin D3 supplementation of 6000 international unit (IU) daily along with artificial tears. Impact of oral vitamin D3 supplementation on non-Sjogren dry eyes was assessed by comparing means of ocular parameters of both groups over different period of time by using Mann-Whitney Test and Friedman Test.
