Applying topic modelling and qualitative content analysis to identify and characterise ENDS product promotion and sales on Instagram

Neal Shah, Matthew Nali, Cortni Bardier, Jiawei Li, James Maroulis, Raphael Cuomo, Tim K. Mackey

Summary: This study used unsupervised machine learning to analyze the sales of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) on Instagram. The results showed that there is a significant amount of unregulated ENDS sales on Instagram, including flavored products, and many websites lack age verification. These findings may violate Instagram's policies and US laws, highlighting the need for stronger regulation to prevent youth access to and use of ENDS.

Summary: A case-control study was conducted to identify risk factors for COVID-19 among athletes in the NBA. The study found that behavioral factors and stadium attendance significantly decreased the time to COVID-19 infection, but local COVID-19 rates were not associated with the infection risk in a multivariable model.

Improved HDL Cholesterol through Vitamin D Status Correction Substantially Lowers 10-Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score in Vitamin D-Deficient Arab Adults

Shaun Sabico, Kaiser Wani, William B. B. Grant, Nasser M. M. Al-Daghri

Summary: This interventional study aimed to investigate the effects of correcting vitamin D status on the 10-year risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) in deficient Arab adults. The study found that while only a small proportion of participants achieved optimal vitamin D levels, there was a modest improvement in HDL cholesterol and 10-year ASCVD risk scores for both genders. The improvement was slightly more pronounced in males than females.

Holick, Waldemar Misiorowski

Summary: It is found that vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among the Polish population based on epidemiological studies. To address this concern, a Polish multidisciplinary group reviewed the evidence and formulated recommendations for prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency. The final Polish recommendations included a range of serum vitamin D levels indicating deficiency, guidelines for prophylaxis and treatment, and the importance of improving the overall population's vitamin D status and treating at-risk patient groups.

Periodontal Disease and Other Adverse Health Outcomes Share Risk Factors, including Dietary Factors and Vitamin D Status

William B. Grant, Barbara M. van Amerongen, Barbara J. Boucher

Summary: For nearly a century, researchers have found an association between periodontal disease and other adverse health outcomes, but experiments have not supported the hypothesis that PD causes these outcomes. Instead, the association is due to shared risk factors such as smoking, diet, obesity, physical activity, and vitamin D levels.

Summary: Preventable vitamin D deficiency is a global health concern. A vitamin D toolkit was developed to increase healthcare professionals' knowledge and confidence regarding vitamin D and aid in translating evidence into practice. The completion of the toolkit significantly increased participants' knowledge and confidence levels.

Immunomodulatory Properties of Vitamin D in the Intestinal and Respiratory Systems

Fatheia N. N. Hamza, Sarah Daher, Hana M. A. Fakhoury, William B. B. Grant, Peter R. R. Kvietys, Khaled Al-Kattan

Summary: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in modulating the innate immune response by interacting with its intracellular receptor, VDR. It contributes to the regulation of intestinal and respiratory microbiota and the modulation of components of the innate immune system. Vitamin D/VDR signaling mounts an antimicrobial response through the transduction of microbial signals and the production of antimicrobial peptides. Vitamin D supplementation may have potentially beneficial effects on diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Summary: Accumulating evidence supports the potential protective effects of vitamin D against chronic diseases, and this study aims to estimate the expected reduction in incidence and mortality rates of vitamin D-related diseases in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Summary: Sufficient vitamin D status is crucial for successful pregnancy and fetal development. This study found positive associations between maternal and neonatal vitamin D status, with the exception of bioavailable maternal form. There were no significant interactions between maternal and neonatal vitamin D parameters and other calciotropic or anthropometric outcomes.

Can vitamin D be an adjuvant therapy for juvenile rheumatic diseases?

Summary: Vitamin D plays a role in regulating immunity and autoimmune processes, and low levels have been found in patients with inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic conditions. However, there is currently no definitive evidence for the preventive or therapeutic effect of vitamin D supplementation in juvenile rheumatic diseases (JRDs). More well-designed studies are needed to determine the potential significance of vitamin D in JRDs treatment.
