Abstract

To determine the role and relative importance of sources of exogenous calciferol (vitamin D) in maintaining vitamin D endocrine status in the mid-winter and early spring in a representative sample of institutionalized elderly persons in the New York City area. Cross-sectional survey. A privately-run urban nursing home and the long-term care unit of a suburban public hospital. Residents aged 60 years and older scheduled for a routine annual physical examination and an additional group of individuals ascertained by random sampling. Those with a history of anti-convulsant or glucocorticoid use, liver disease, chronic renal disease (or serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL), parathyroid disease, Paget's disease, gastric surgery, or pharmacological vitamin D use were excluded. Of 301 sampled individuals, 221 were found eligible to participate, and 109 were successfully enrolled. The average vitamin D intake was 379 IU/day (range 55-1006 IU/day) and total vitamin D intake was below the Recommended Dietary Allowance in 16% of subjects. Fifty percent of total vitamin D intake came from fortified milk, and 26% came from vitamin supplements. Vitamin supplement use was not associated with low dietary intake. Among subjects taking a supplement cont...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
