Summary: Suboptimal states of vitamin D may have a role in the development of psoriasis, but the relationship between vitamin D levels and psoriasis remains controversial. Our study found a correlation between higher levels of vitamin D and improved quality of life in psoriasis patients, but no significant association with psoriasis severity or previous failure of biologic therapy.

Summary: Oral vitamin D may be effective as an adjuvant treatment option in psoriasis, but more large-scale studies are needed to determine its efficacy, optimal dose, and adverse effects for patients with psoriasis.

Summary: Vitamin D is an immune modulator that affects infection susceptibility. The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and mortality in sepsis patients remains unclear. Adequate vitamin D concentration may reduce mortality in sepsis patients with severe deficiency.

Summary: In patients with psoriasis, high levels of vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) may serve as a new inflammatory biomarker. Total 25(OH)D is a reliable measure for vitamin D status in psoriasis patients, but evaluation of free 25(OH)D levels should be considered in patients with multiple co-morbidities and/or undergoing biologic treatment.

Summary: A meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of oral vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in healthy adults in Europe. The findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation can significantly increase serum 25(OH)D levels, with the effect influenced by dosage and baseline serum levels.

Summary: Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent worldwide, including in Malaysia, particularly among females, Indians, and those of Malay ethnicity. It can be managed through pharmacological or non-pharmacological approaches, and prevention methods include adequate intake, sun exposure, or supplementation. Special attention should be given to high-risk groups such as infants, obese patients, and the elderly.

Summary: Psoriasis is a systemic, chronic, immune-mediated disease whose etiology and pathogenesis remain unknown. T-cell activation plays a key role in the development of psoriasis. Modulation of the local neuroendocrine system and vitamin D signaling have shown promising results in adjuvant treatment for psoriasis. Phototherapy, especially UVB-based, can affect serum levels of 25(OH)D, but more clinical trials are needed to establish the correlation between these changes and improvement in psoriasis.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate changes in vitamin D levels and factors associated with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) in Korean preterm infants during the first year of life. The study found a high incidence of VDD in these infants, with vitamin D levels at birth being the strongest predictor of VDD during follow-up. Vitamin D supplementation at 400 IU/day did not affect vitamin D levels during the first year of life. Further research is needed to determine the optimal vitamin D supplementation dose for Korean preterm infants.

Summary: Patients with psoriasis, especially psoriatic arthritis, have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis due to shared risk factors like vitamin D deficiency and chronic inflammation. The IL-33/ST2 axis, along with vitamin D, plays a key role in bone remodeling and skin barrier pathophysiology.IL-33 and vitamin D stimulate the production of anti-osteoclastogenic cytokines, influencing regulatory and Th2 cells to prevent osteoclastogenesis.

Summary: This article reviews the impact of vitamin D deficiency on the health of infants, emphasizing its global significance and the need for further research and strategies. While conflicting results exist regarding the effects of vitamin D, it is clear that deficiency has significant implications, particularly for infants.

Summary: The social determinants associated with Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations deficiency in older adults include gender, native origin, urban residence, sunlight exposure, and geographical latitude. Health promotion and prevention programs should be targeted towards older adults in urban areas, with a special focus on women, especially in the southernmost regions.

Summary: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-dysregulated inflammatory disease and low vitamin D levels are associated with it. This study reviewed the relationship between vitamin D, bone metabolism parameters, and psoriasis, as well as evaluated the effectiveness of oral vitamin D supplementation. The results showed that psoriasis patients had lower levels of 25(OH)D and parathormone compared to controls. However, vitamin D supplementation did not seem to improve clinical manifestations in psoriasis patients.

Summary: Using machine learning models to predict vitamin D deficiency showed higher accuracy in predicting 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L compared to traditional models, suggesting a potential role for machine learning models in participant selection for vitamin D supplement trials.

Summary: Emerging observational data suggest that vitamin D deficiency is associated with knee osteoarthritis. However, the relationship between vitamin D level and osteoarthritis, as well as the role of vitamin D supplementation in prevention, are still controversial. This study found that 1,25(OH)2D3 deficiency accelerated the development of knee osteoarthritis in mice, while supplementation with 1,25(OH)2D3 rescued the phenotypes of osteoarthritis.
