Introduction: Compared with the general population, hemodialysis patients are at increased risk of vascular calcification, which in turn is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Regarding the role of vitamin D in bone formation, regulation of calcium, phosphate and iPTH level and correlation of these variables in survival, this study was performed to evaluate the vitamin D serum level...

The aim of this study was to assess the correlation of serum vitamin D with ICU length of stay, mortality rate, length of mechanical ventilation, and incidence of sepsis. We conducted a descriptive analytic study on 793 patients admitted to surgical ICU wards in northwest of Iran from March 2015 to March 2016. Patients were assessed during the ICU stay and the following data were collect...

Objective: The current study was conducted to compare the effect of 150,000 and 300,000 IU of vitamin D on the healing status of diabetic foot ulcer among the patients with diabetes. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was carried out on 47 patients with diabetic foot ulcer and vitamin deficiency during four weeks follow-up. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups...

According to studies, a significant association exists between the low levels of vitamin D and cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI). In a prospective, case control study, 88 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and Non-STEMI were enrolled. The plasma level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] was obtained at the time ...

introduction considering the high prevalence of vitamin d deficiency in our country and the importance of blood lipid profile as a protective factor, aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin d supplementation on lipid profile in children 10 to 14 years.materials and methods in this controlled clinical trial study, 40 children who were studying on 2014 in birjand elementary sch...

Background: Vitamin D, a steroid hormone, has critical roles in human health. The available data thus identify vitamin D as an important substance in processes involved in reproductive success and thereby suggest pathophysiological mechanisms for reproductive compromise in the setting of vitamin D deficiency. Realizing the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in our country, we hypothesized th...

multiple risk factors are introduced for multiple sclerosis (ms). recent studies have suggested a possible correlation between vitamin d deficiency and an increase risk of ms. this study was therefore undertaken to compare vitamin d levels in new cases of ms and their relatives as healthy controls. seventy five new diagnosed ms patients and 100 matched healthy controls among their relatives wer...
