The Vitamin D Status of Prison Inmates

|
By Benjamin Udoka Nwosu, Louise Maranda, Rosalie Berry, Massachusetts Partnership
| PLOS
Serum 25(OH)D levels peaked in summer and autumn, and decreased in winter and spring. Vitamin D deficiency occurred in 50.5% of blacks, 29.3% of whites, and 14.3% of Asian inmates (p?=?0.007). Black inmates had significantly lower serum 25(OH)D level than white inmates at the maximum security level (p?=?0.015), medium security level (p?=?0.001), but not at the minimum security level (p?=?0.40).

A predictive model for lack of partial clinical remission in new-onset pediatric type 1 diabetes

|
By Rachel Lundberg, Louise Maranda, Katherine R. Marino, Aastha Jasrotia
| PLOS
>50% of patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not enter partial clinical remission (PCR); early identification of these patients may improve initial glycemic control and reduce long-term complications. To determine whether routinely obtainable clinical parameters predict non-remission in children and adolescents with new-onset T1D. Data on remission were collected for the first 36 months of disease in 204 subjects of ages 2–14 years with new-onset type 1 diabetes.

Vitamin D status in pediatric irritable bowel syndrome

|
By Benjamin Udoka Nwosu, Louise Maranda, Ninfa Candela
| PLOS
Pediatric patients with IBS had significantly lower 25(OH)D concentration compared to controls despite having similar mean BMI values as controls. Only 7% of the children and adolescents with IBS were vitamin D sufficient, and >50% of the subjects with IBS had vitamin D deficiency. This is a much higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency compared to IBD and other malabsorption syndromes. Monitoring for vitamin D deficiency should be part of the routine care for patients with IBS.
