Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency is common in Southeast Asia but there are limited data in pregnant women and neonates. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in cord blood of newborns and the association with maternal vitamin D status. A total of 94 pregnant women and their neonates were included. Clinical data and venous maternal blood for calcium, phosphate, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, magnesium, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and vitamin D (25OHD) were obtained on the day of labor. Cord blood was collected following delivery to evaluate vitamin D status of newborns. Mean serum maternal and cord blood 25OHD levels were 25.42 ± 8.07 and 14.85 ± 5.13 ng/mL. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25OHD < 12 ng/mL) and insufficiency (25OHD 12-20 ng/mL) in cord blood of newborns were 20.2 and 69.1%, respectively. There was a significant correlation between maternal and cord blood vitamin D levels (r = 0.86; P < 0.001). The factors associated with cord blood vitamin D deficiency were low maternal 25OHD level and no vitamin D supplement during pregnancy. There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Thai neonates. Adequate prenatal vitamin D supplementation should be implemented as routine anten...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.
