Personal and Environmental Risk Factors at Birth and Hospital Admission: Direct and Vitamin D-Mediated Effects on Bronchiolitis Hospitalization
2021
Abstract: Seasonal variations in UV-B radiation may influence vitamin D status, and this, in turn, may influence the risk of bronchiolitis hospitalization. The aim of this study was using a causal inference approach to investigate, simultaneously, the interrelationships between personal and environmental risk factors at birth/hospital admission (RFBH), serum vitamin D levels and bronchiolitis hospitalization. A total of 63 children (<2 years old) hospitalized for bronchiolitis (34 RSV-positive) and 63 controls were consecutively enrolled (2014-2016). Vitamin D levels and some RFBH (birth season, birth weight, gestational age, gender, age, weight, hospitalization season) were recorded. The d…
Serum Vitamin D as a Biomarker in Autoimmune, Psychiatric and Neurodegenerative Diseases.
2022
Vitamin D is a steroid hormone regulating calcium-phosphorus homeostasis, immune response and brain function. In the past thirty years, an increasing number of cohort studies, meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials (RTCs) evaluated the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], which is considered the Vitamin D status biomarker, in patients affected by neurological, psychiatric and autoimmune diseases. Although an association between low 25(OH)D serum levels and the prevalence of these diseases has been found, it is still unclear whether the serum 25(OH)D measurement can be clinically useful as a biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis and predicting treatment response in neurodegene…
Znaczenie i rola witaminy D w praktyce farmaceutycznej
2022
Pierwsze doniesienia o witaminie D pojawiły się w pierwszej połowie XX w. Jej odkrycie wywarło istotny wpływ na prewencję i leczenie krzywicy, a także umożliwiło poznanie i udokumentowanie roli w regulacji równowagi gospodarki wapniowo-fosforanowej. Dalsze doniesienia sugerują również inne istotne dla zdrowia właściwości witaminy D, w tym wpływ na układ mięśniowy, nerwowy, immunologiczny, krążenia, gospodarkę węglowodanową, otyłość, ryzyko wystąpienia chorób nowotworowych, a także (istotne dziś) zagadnienie wpływu na przebieg i zapadalność na COVID-19. Wyróżniono sześć form witaminy D różniących się strukturą łańcuchów bocznych. Do grupy witaminy D zaliczamy: cholekalcyferol (witamina D3) p…
An Integrated Approach to Skeletal Muscle Health in Aging
2023
A decline in muscle mass and function represents one of the most problematic changes associated with aging, and has dramatic effects on autonomy and quality of life. Several factors contribute to the inexorable process of sarcopenia, such as mitochondrial and autophagy dysfunction, and the lack of regeneration capacity of satellite cells. The physiologic decline in muscle mass and in motoneuron functionality associated with aging is exacerbated by the sedentary lifestyle that accompanies elderly people. Regular physical activity is beneficial to most people, but the elderly need well-designed and carefully administered training programs that improve muscle mass and, consequently, both funct…

The importance of vitamin D3 supplementation in orthopedics
2020
Falls have been recognized by the WHO as one of the most significant problems in aging societies. In the elderly after 65 years of age, they cause 90% of the fractures of the proximal femoral bone (bkk) and 100% of the forearm fractures [5].They usually occur when walking (most often), getting up and sitting down. The consequences of falls, as well as themselves, can be prevented by supplementing vitamin D3 [6] [8] regulating the body's calciumphosphate homeostasis. It improves neuromuscular function, including the mechanism reduces the frequency of falls. It also affects response time and balance. The concentration of vitamin D3 in the body is variable. Depends on endogenous biosynthesis a…
