Mortality in the first year after the fracture is 15-20%, and half of the survivors remain partly or fully dependent on others’ support.

[Vitamin D in autoimmun disorders: the immunregulatory effect of vitamin D and therapeutic opportunities]

ZÖLD Éva, SZODORAY Péter, GAÁL János, SZEGEDI Andrea, SZEGEDI Gyula, BODOLAY Edit

[There is recent evidence that genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the development of autoimmune diseases. Vitamin D deficiency is one of the environmental factors that may play a role in developing autoimmune diseases. Low vitamin D status has been implicated in the etiology of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inzulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Experimentally, vitamin D... tovább »

GAÁL János, BENDER Tamás, VARGA József, HORVÁTH Irén, KISS Judit, SOMOGYI Péter, SURÁNYI Péter

[INTRODUCTION - A considerable part of osteoporotic patients do not respond satisfactorily to adequate treatment with a bisphosphonate plus supplementation with calcium and conventional vitamin D3. This study intended to determine whether the replacement of vitamin D3 with alphacalcidol results in any BMD increase, i.e. is it possible to overcome resistance to bisphosphonates. PATIENTS AND METHOD - In 76 patients unresponsive to the combination of alendronate and conventional vitamin D3, the... tovább »
