Serum Vitamin D Concentrations in CoVID19 Patients

Low serum vitamin D concentrations in patients with schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND Vitamin D is increasingly associated with the pathology of cognition and mental illness. Vitamin D receptors have been detected on neurons that regulate behavior. OBJECTIVE To assess vitamin D serum concentrations in patients with major depression and schizophrenia as compared to healthy controls and to determine if a correlation exists between serum levels of vitamin D and disease...

Serum Vitamin D Level in Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia

       The paper titled“Comparison of the serum vitamin D level in patients with iron deficiency anemia, beta thalassemia with the control subjects”  was assesesd and the following needs to be explained(1). Usually , the rational for the research should be explaied in  introduction part. This part is too long and contains unnecessary information whic...

Serum vitamin D concentrations in hospitalized critically ill dogs

Hypovitaminosis D has been extensively documented in critically ill humans. However, whether or not critically ill dogs have alterations in vitamin D concentrations remains unconfirmed. The primary aims of our study were to compare serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D] concentrations in critically ill dogs with healthy control dogs, determine the prognostic utility of serum 25(OH)D concentr...

Serum concentrations of vitamin D metabolites in untreated tuberculosis.

A prospective study of 50 consecutive patients presenting with tuberculosis has shown that patients have on average lower serum concentrations of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OHD) than healthy matched controls. No difference was shown in serum 1,25-(OH)2D, 24,25-(OH)2D, or parathyroid hormone. Uncorrected serum calcium was lower in the patient group but identical when correction concentrations...

Vitamin D deficiency in rats with normal serum calcium concentrations.

Rats were raised after weaning on a vitamin D-deficient diet which used whole wheat and casein as the major protein source. For at least the first year of life, plasma calcium concentrations of these rats were the same as those of vitamin D-replete rats, and the rate of growth was normal for at least 6 months. The following evidence establishes the vitamin D deficiency of the rats (both male an...
