Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the beneficial properties of vitamin D in anti-inflammation and immunity-modulation are promising in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), data were limited for the critical IBD prognosis. The association between serum vitamin D levels and the risk of bowel resection in individuals with IBD remains largely unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors performed a longitudinal cohort study among 5474 individuals with IBD in the UK Biobank. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was measured using direct competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay. Bowel resection events were ascertained via national inpatient data. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression was used to examine the association between serum 25(OH)D and bowel resection risk, presented with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to evaluate dose-response associations. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 13.1 years, the authors documented 513 incident bowel resection cases. Compared to participants with vitamin D deficiency, nondeficient participants showed a significantly reduced bowel resection risk in IBD (HR 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87, P =0.001), Crohn's disease (CD, HR 0.74, 95% CI: 0.56-0.98, P =0.038), and ulcerative colitis (UC, HR 0.73, 95% CI: 0.57-0.95, P =0.020). When comparing extreme quintiles of 25(OH)D level, participants with IBD showed a 34% reduced risk of bowel resection (95% CI: 11-51%, P =0.007) and participants with UC showed a 46% reduced risk (95% CI: 19-64%, P =0.003), while this association was not significant in CD (HR 0.93, 95% CI: 0.59-1.45, P =0.740). Linear dose-response associations were observed using the RCS curve (all P -nonlinearity>0.05). CONCLUSION Increased serum level of 25(OH)D is independently associated with reduced bowel resection risk in IBD. This association was significant in UC but may not be stable in CD. Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for bowel resection in individuals with IBD, and may be an effective metric in predicting and risk-screening surgical events.

Abstract
Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is defined as a group of diseases which symptoms are typically manifested in a standing position. These symptoms result from cerebral hypoperfusion and disappear in the supine position. We include postural orthostatic intolerance syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension (OH) and vasovagal orthostatic syncope in this group of diseases. Each of them have similar clinical presentation (blurred vision, weakness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue). However, they vary from each other in biochemical, autonomic and hemodynamic characteristics. The aim of the work is to provide an overview of humoral and non-human markers that are involved in the etiopathogenesis of orthostatic intolerance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D3 supplementation is considered a potential intervention to prevent orthostatic hypotension (OH) based on observational evidence that vitamin D levels are inversely associated with OH. With data from The Study to Understand Fall Reduction and Vitamin D in You (STURDY), a double-blind, randomized, response-adaptive trial, we determined if higher doses of vitamin D3 reduced risk of OH. METHODS STURDY tested the effects of higher (1,000+ IU/day, i.e., 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 IU/day combined) vs. lower-dose vitamin D3 (200 IU/day, comparison) on fall risk in adults ages 70 years and older with low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D, 10-29 ng/ml). OH was determined at baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months by taking the difference between seated and standing blood pressure (BP). OH was defined as a drop in systolic or diastolic BP of at least 20 or 10 mm Hg after 1 minute of standing. Participants were also asked about OH symptoms during the assessment and the preceding month. RESULTS Among 688 participants (mean age 77 [SD, 5] years; 44% women; 18% Black), the mean baseline systolic/diastolic BP was 130 (19)/67 (11) mm Hg, serum 25(OH)D was 22.1 (5.1) ng/ml, and 2.8% had OH. There were 2,136 OH assessments over the maximum 2-year follow-up period. Compared with 200 IU/day, 1,000+ IU/day was not associated with seated, standing, or orthostatic BP, and it did not lower risk of OH or orthostatic symptoms. CONCLUSIONS These findings do not support use of higher doses of vitamin D3 supplementation as an intervention to prevent OH. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION Trial Number NCT02166333.

Systematic causality mapping of factors leading to accidental falls of older adults. PUBLIC HEALTH IN PRACTICE 2020; 1:100045. [PMID: 36101694 PMCID: PMC9461379 DOI: 10.1016/j.puhip.2020.100045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction According to WHO’s statistical evidence, accidental falls are the second leading causes of death worldwide. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis aims to provide a holistic view of risk factors and unfold the missing or less addressed but crucial factors that lead to accidental falls of the older adults. It also intends to profile the risk factors at different levels, which helps exhibit the level of consistency relationship between various risk factors and falls. Study design Systematic literature review. Methods A systematic review on the risk factors leading to accidental falls of older adults by retrieving English journal papers published starting from 1980 was conducted on April 2018. A method of literature synthesis and causal mapping was adopted to aggregate those fall-leading factors into macro variables and a coherent causal tracing network was thereby built, which can reflect not only the causal relationship of various macro variables but also the “consistency of agreement” between macro variables and falls of the older adults. Results A hypothesized causal relationship diagram of 19 aggregated macro variables and their 31 causal relationship suggested by the observational evidences is demonstrated. The consistency relationship between macro variables and elderly accidental fall are summarized and demonstrated. Our analysis reveals that “Time”, “Season” and “Weather” are three less-studied factors in the literature. In our comprehensive analysis, our study also indicates neglected countries and senior populations such as Africa and Oceania, which requires more attention from the research community and global funding agencies. It is found that major quantitative tools focus on the traditional statistical analysis. Conclusion With the accelerated aging and increase of longevity worldwide, national and regional policies, and public health programs to provide adequate care services for the older people are crucially needed in both industrialized and developing countries. Evidences identified in the research are valuable inputs for policy design and decision makers of different stakeholders and prevention design of risk factors for falls in the older adults. The categorization of research methods in different literature also suggests that more quantitative approaches including simulation, optimization in operational research, and maybe machine learning are needed to enrich the research paradigm. We suggest researchers to consider using our presented causal map and the way of building it and explore the possibility of extending this framework to uncover more research topics in health-related research. Find less addressed but important fall-leading factors for the older adults. Apply a systematic causal mapping method for synthetizing known factors. Profile fall-leading factors in the older adults at different levels. Identify the level of consistency for those relationships of risk factors to fall. Build a framework containing all causal relationships of key fall-causing factors.

Abstract
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are common in older adults and are associated with increased risk of fragility fractures. Vitamin D deficiency caused by chronic disease, poor nutrition, and inadequate sun exposure affects bone quality. Chronic rotator cuff tears can deteriorate the bone mineral density of the greater tuberosity and have been linked to reduced anchor pullout strength and high re-tear rate after repair especially in older patients with larger tear size. This article summarizes the current evidence on rotator cuff tear and bone quality and provides treatment strategies for rotator cuff repair in patients with poor bone quality.
