Among patients hospitalized with heart failure, about one in three has deficient levels of thiamin, although thiamin deficiency was less common among those patients who were taking vitamin supplements.   view more (2006-01-16)

Study Calls For UK Childhood Screening of Metabolic Disease
Results of a study in this week's issue of The Lancet support the introduction of early screening for the metabolic disease medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency. MCAD deficiency is a metabolic disorder which affects up to 1 in 9000 people in the UK. It can be controlled with... view more (2001-09-26)

Many men with low testosterone levels do not receive treatment
The majority of men with androgen deficiency may not be receiving treatment despite having sufficient access to care, according to a report in the May 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.   view more (2008-05-27)

Poor athletic performance linked to vitamin deficiency
Active individuals lacking in B-vitamins - including college athletes and other elite competitors - may perform worse during high-intensity exercise and have a decreased ability to repair and build muscle than counterparts with nutrient-rich diets.   view more (2006-11-17)

New technology may prevent vitamin B12 deficient seniors and vegetarians from needing injections
For those patients who receive the nearly 40 million intramuscular injections per year to treat their B12 deficiency, a new oral option may soon exist.   view more (2008-06-18)

Vitamin A deficiency linked to major intestinal surgery
Major intestinal surgery, including stomach reduction for obesity, may boost the chances of subsequent vitamin A deficiency, suggests a small study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.   view more (2006-06-14)

Metabolic disease too easily missed
Dutch researcher Terry Derks has demonstrated that the metabolic disease MCAD deficiency can be detected at an early stage. At present the disease is only found in half of the expected number of patients.   view more (2007-02-16)

Zinc deficiency an underestimated problem
Children in Java have better resistance to disease if they take not only vitamin A and iron supplements but also extra zinc. NWO nutrition researchers have shown that shortages of vitamin A and the two minerals often occur together. Zinc deficiency appears to be a problem which has so far not been... view more (2001-07-26)

Resurgent Rickets - Call For Vitamin D Supplementation For Pregnant Women And Children (p 1389)
UK authors of a seminar article in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how rickets-often considered a disease of the past-is still a global public-health problem today. The authors propose the use of Vitamin D supplementation for pregnant women and among children up to the age of puberty to... view more (2003-10-22)

A genetic cause for iron deficiency
The discovery of a gene for a rare form of inherited iron deficiency may provide clues to iron deficiency in the general population - particularly iron deficiency that doesn't respond to iron supplements - and suggests a new treatment approach.   view more (2008-04-14)

After gastric bypass surgery, important to check vitamin B1 deficiency
A deficiency in vitamin B1 can be a serious complication following a popular surgery to treat obesity.   view more (2005-12-27)

A better screening test for infant iron deficiency?
A unique blood test detects iron deficiency in infants earlier and more accurately than the commonly used hemoglobin screening test.   view more (2005-08-24)

Overweight toddlers and those not in day care at risk for iron deficiency
A study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has found that overweight toddlers and those not enrolled in day care are at high risk for iron deficiency.   view more (2007-09-04)

Vitamin D deficiency common in patients with IBD, chronic liver disease
New research presented at the 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology in Orlando found patients with inflammatory bowel disease or chronic liver disease were at increased risk of developing Vitamin D deficiencies. Two separate studies highlight the importance of... view more (2008-10-06)

Study shows new method of growth hormone dosing improves height
A randomized UCLA study found that a new dosing paradigm can improve height outcomes in the treatment of children who have short stature due to growth hormone deficiency and idiopathic short stature.   view more (2005-06-07)

Gene for immune deficiency syndromes found
A newly discovered gene mutation may account for many cases of immune deficiency, in particular two syndromes known as immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency and Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), report researchers in the July issue of Nature Genetics. The discovery may lead to a new diagnostic... view more (2005-07-11)

Iron-deficient infants have lower cognitive scores at 19, especially in lower socioeconomic levels
Costa Rican teens who were iron-deficient as infants continue to lag behind their peers in cognitive test scores, with a wider gap for children at lower socioeconomic levels.   view more (2006-11-07)

Vitamin D deficiency: Common and problematic yet preventable
In a review article to appear in the July 19th issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Michael Holick, an internationally recognized expert in vitamin D, provides an overview of his pioneering work that expounds on the important role vitamin D plays in a wide variety of chronic health... view more (2007-07-19)

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug increases liver damage in mice carrying mutant human gene
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency isn't a term that rolls right off the tongue. But people diagnosed with this genetic disorder learn its potential effects well.   view more (2006-11-16)

Mutation in human gene helps protect against fatal malaria
New research suggests that not everyone who is bitten by a malaria-infected mosquito develops life threatening health problems according to scientists at the University of Toronto.   view more (2008-04-22)

INCREASED MORTALITY FROM IMPAIRED PITUITARY GLAND FUNCTION (p 425)
Patients with impaired function of the pituitary gland have increased death rates associated with vascular and respiratory disease, conclude authors of a study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Four previous retrospective studies have reported premature death in patients with... view more (2001-02-07)

Children with cystic fibrosis not well covered by guidelines for vitamin D needs
Existing recommendations for treating vitamin D deficiency in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are too low to cover the serious need, leaving most at high risk for bone loss and rickets, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.   view more (2008-10-10)

Simple diagnosis of anaemia and malaria
Research funded by NWO has shown that African mothers greatly over-report fever in their children. As a result the children are given anti-malaria drugs too often. African households seldom possess a thermometer. Another outcome of the study is that it opens up the possibility of detecting anaemia... view more (2001-10-08)

Defective gene linked to two inherited immune deficiencies
Defects in a single gene can result in two immune system disorders that leave affected individuals vulnerable to frequent or unusually severe infections, according to new findings reported in the August issue of Nature Genetics.   view more (2005-08-08)

Dietary calcium could possibly prevent the spread of breast cancer to bone
