OBJECTIVE
Patients with HIV infection are at increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), and growing evidence suggests a possible link between vitamin D deficiency and clinical/subclinical CAD. However, the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and coronary artery calcification (CAC), a
Vitamin D deficiency in HIV infection has attracted much interest. The best known clinical outcomes of vitamin D deficiency are rickets (children) and osteomalacia (adults). Several non-skeletal disorders have also been linked to suboptimal vitamin D levels in the general population. The prevalence
Although recent studies report a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in HIV-infected adults similar to that in the general population, metabolic complications of vitamin D deficiency may be worsened with HIV infection and remain insufficiently characterized. We conducted a retrospective
Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are often unappreciated in men. This cross-sectional period-prevalence study was conducted in private practice between November 20, 2008 and January 22, 2009 at latitude N 40, 46 minutes. HIV-infected men presenting for routine care without clinical disease or
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While the primary risk factor for COPD is cigarette smoke exposure, vitamin D deficiency has been epidemiologically implicated as a factor in the progressive development of COPD-associated emphysema.
We analyzed serum 25(OH) cholecalciferol [25(OH)D] levels and factors related to deficiency (<20 ng/ml) or insufficiency (<30 ng/ml) in a cohort of Spanish HIV-infected patients and compared them with an age- and latitude-matched population from another study. We prospectively assessed 25(OH)D
Clinical and epidemiologic studies reveal an association between vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Because vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)-derived tissue factor (TF) is suggested to be critical for arterial thrombosis, we investigated whether the vitamin D
BACKGROUND
Vitamin D deficiency is of increasing concern in HIV-infected persons because of its reported association with a number of negative health outcomes that are common in HIV. We undertook this study to determine the prevalence and predictors of vitamin D deficiency among a nationally
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the vitamin D status of patients receiving frequently used types of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), including boosted protease inhibitor (PI) monotherapy.
METHODS
For this cross-sectional study, out of 450 HIV-infected patients followed in the Hospital Severo
The main aim of this study was to assess vitamin D [25(OH)D]levels in an HIV infected adult population and to define HIV and antiretroviral-related factors associated with vitamin D deficiency.This observational analytical study was conducted on 475 adult Women living with HIV (WLHIV) have increased risk of spontaneous preterm delivery (SPTD). We sought to identify plasma predictors of SPTD and their correlations with factors that increase the risk of SPTD, such as vitamin D deficiency and use of protease Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly being recognized as a prevalent problem in the general population. Patients with chronic lung diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive lung disease and interstitial pneumonia appear to be at increased risk for vitamin D deficiency for reasons
Hypovitaminosis D is a very common disorder, regarding both Western and developing countries. A growing amount of data over the last years have shown vitamin D deficiency to be high prevalent among HIV-positive subjects. In addition to "classic" risk factors, such as female sex, low dietary intake,
Duodenal villus cells from vitamin D-deficient (-D) and replete rats (+D) were isolated either in citrate buffers according to the method of Stern or by vibration in EDTA-containing solutions according to the method of Harrison and Webster. Basolateral plasma membrane vesicles (BLMV) were purified,
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is characterized by an excessive inflammatory response of the airways, is often complicated by exacerbations. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with an increased risk for COPD and may predispose COPD patients to a higher exacerbation rate,
