Background Emerging role of vitamin D in immunology and autoimmune disorders has been a worldwide interest in the last decade. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients are particularly at a delicate position predisposing them to suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to the multiple risk factors ...
Vitamin Da systemic inflammatory response [2]. Based on anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties of vitamin D metabolites, protective effects of vitamin D supplementation in COVID-19 are suggested. This hypothesis is supported by some [3], but not all [4] cohort and case-control studies...
Introduction Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) often have low levels of vitamin D (Vit D). Initially considered to be secondary to active disease, there is growing evidence that Vit D has a role in immune regulation and that deficiency might contribute to flares of disease. If this ...
Vitamin D levels at diagnosis were inadequate in more than half the patients (56%). This hypovitaminosis was linked to the female sex (p = 0.006), obesity (p = 0.031) and the digestive involvement of the lymphoma (p = 0.03). There was also a relationship between vitamin D deficiency ...

Chalmers and colleagues1 have shown that vitamin D deficiency is common in bronchiectasis and correlates with markers of disease severity. The authors comment that although the study has identified a strong association, this does not demonstrate causality, but the results justify a randomised controlled...

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is caused by thiamine (vitamin B 1 ) deficiency, typically resulting from malnutrition secondary to chronic alcohol abuse. Less often, other conditions can lead to malnutrition and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. We describe a 35-year-old man who developed Wernicke-Korsakoff ...
