However, controversies regarding its clinical application remain. We therefore aimed to review the definition of hypovitaminosis D, the skeletal and extra-skeletal effects of vitamin D and the available therapeutic modalities. Design: Narrative and systematic literature review. Methods: An international working group that reviewed the current evidence linking bone and extra-skeletal health and vitamin D therapy to identify knowledge gaps for future research. Results: Findings from observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in vitamin D deficiency are discordant, with findings of RCTs being largely negative. This may be due to reverse causality with the illness itself European Journal European of Endocrinology contributing to low vitamin D levels. The results of many RCTs have also been inconsistent. However, overall evidence from RCTs shows vitamin D reduces fractures (when administered with calcium) in the institutionalized elderly. Although controversial, vitamin D reduces acute respiratory tract infections (if not given as bolus monthly or annual doses) and may reduce falls in those with the lowest serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels. However, despite large ongoing RCTs with 21 000–26 000 participants not recruiting based on baseline 25OHD levels, they will contain a large subset of participants with vitamin D deficiency and are adequately powered to meet their primary end-points. Conclusions: The effects of long-term vitamin D supplementation on non-skeletal outcomes, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the optimal dose and serum 25OHD level that balances extra-skeletal benefits (T2DM) vs risks (e.g. CVD), may soon be determined by data from large RCTs.

In this paper, we address (5, 6). Methods to increase vitamin D intake across a these issues. given population, including bio-fortification consisting of adding vitamin D to livestock feeds or UVB-irradiation of mushrooms and baker’s yeast are under evaluation (7, 8).

In these settings, vitamin group that reviewed the current evidence linking bone D supplements should be considered, with various health and vitamin D therapy. It is based on both narrative guidelines suggesting either vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) or and systematic literature reviews, focusing on the most vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) (9). Vitamin D3 seems to be robust clinical evidence, which constituted the search preferred by many experts because of its greater potency criteria in PubMed. (10, 11).

Scott Litofsky * Division of Neurosurgery, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, MO 65212, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Survival in glioblastoma remains poor despite advancements in standard-of-care treatment. Some patients wish to take a more active role in their cancer treatment by adopting daily lifestyle changes to improve their quality of life or overall survival. We review the available literature through PubMed and Google Scholar to identify laboratory animal studies, human studies, and ongoing clinical trials. We discuss which health habits patients adopt and which have the most promise in glioblastoma. While results of clinical trials available on these topics are limited, dietary restrictions, exercise, use of supplements and cannabis, and smoking cessation all show some benefit in the comprehensive treatment of glioblastoma. Marital status also has an impact on survival. Further clinical trials combining standard treatments with lifestyle modifications are necessary to quantify their survival advantages.

Despite acceptance Key Words regarding the influence of reproductive hormones on ovarian cancer risk and considerable " ovarian cancer advances in the understanding of epithelial ovarian carcinogenesis on a molecular level, " hormone action complete understanding of the biologic processes underlying malignant transformation of " reproductive ovarian surface epithelium is lacking. Various hypotheses have been proposed over the past " immune several decades to explain the etiology of the disease. The role of reproductive hormones in " endocrine epithelial ovarian carcinogenesis remains a key topic of research. Primary questions in the field of ovarian cancer biology center on its developmental cell of origin, the positive and negative effects of each class of hormones on ovarian cancer initiation and progression, and the role of the immune system in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. The development of the female reproductive tract is dictated by the hormonal milieu during embryogenesis. Endocrine-Related Cancer Intensive research efforts have revealed that ovarian cancer is a heterogenous disease that may develop from multiple extra-ovarian tissues, including both Mu¨ llerian (fallopian tubes, endometrium) and non-Mu¨ llerian structures (gastrointestinal tissue), contributing to its heterogeneity and distinct histologic subtypes.

The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the effect of basic nutrient intake on the exacerbation or alleviation of AV lesions. A retrospective review of publications in PubMed regarding diet therapy and the impact of individual nutrient intake on the skin condition of patients was conducted. Ingestion of products with a high glycaemic index may indirectly lead to sebum overproduction, which promotes infection with Cutibacterium acnes and causes inflammation.
