A snapshot of the nutritional status of Crohn’s disease among adolescents in Brazil: a prospective cross-sectional study Abstract Background: The relationship between nutrition and Crohn’s disease (CD) is complex and involves several therapeutic possibilities including: nutrition treatment for malnourished patients, optimization of growth and development, prevention of osteoporosis, first-line therapy for active disease, and maintenance of disease remission. In children and adolescents with CD, malnutrition is a common problem that adversely affects the prognosis. In at-risk ...

A 3D Polymer Model for Future Nutrition Design Novel Nutrition Approach for Cystic Fibrosis, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease Abstract Introduction—Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and Crohn’s Disease (CD) manifest as various, multiple symptoms from malfunctioning and/or damaged gastrointestinal tract, which plague the patients. These symptoms result from the dysfunctional expression products of the specific mutations of the genes, which either manifest upon birth (CF) or later in life in immuno-genetically susceptible individuals as inflammatory bowel ...

Effects of Vitamin D deficiency treatment on metabolic markers in Hashimoto thyroiditis patients Background: The aim of the current trial was to investigate the effect of Vitamin D treatment on metabolic markers in people with Vitamin D deficiency and thyroid autoimmunity. Materials and Methods: In this double‑blind, randomized, placebo‑controlled clinical trial, 65 Vitamin D deficient euthyroid or hypothyroid patients with positive TPO‑Ab were enrolled. They randomly allocated into two groups to receive oral Vitamin D3 (50000 IU weekly) and placebo for 12 weeks. Serum concent...

Meta-Analysis of the Association between Vitamin D and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease Abstract: Although emerging evidence suggests that low levels of vitamin D may contribute to the development of autoimmune disease, the relationship between vitamin D reduction and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), which includes Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), is still controversial. The aim was to evaluate the association between vitamin D levels and AITD through systematic literature review. We identified all studies that assessed the association between vitamin D and AITD ...

Vitamin D in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and its relationship with thyroid function and in‚ammatory status Abstract. Several studies have shown the correlation between vitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency and thyroid autoimmunity and reducing of thyroid autoantibodies in patients with normal levels of vitamin D combining with thyroid hormone replacement. However, other authors not agree with this association. It is still unclear whether the low 25(OH)D levels are the result of HT disease or a part of its cause. We studied 88 patients with HT regarding vitamin D status and thyroid autoimm...

Vitamin D Deficiency and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in Children and Adolescents: a Critical Vitamin D Level for This Association? ABSTRACT Objective: Vitamin D has been suggested to be active as an immunomodulator in autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). The goal of the present study was to investigate the vitamin D status in HT patients. Methods: This prevalence case-control study was conducted on 90 patients with HT (of ages 12.32±2.87 years) and 79 age-matched healthy controls (11.85±2.28 years). Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] levels were measured ...

 The importance of selenium in Hashimoto’s disease Summary The aim of this study was to present the current state of knowledge on the role of selenium in the treatment of Hashimoto’s disease. In recent years, the number of cases of autoimmune Hashimoto’s thyroiditis – a chronic disease that usually leads to hypothyroidism – has increased. Most patients have elevated levels of anti-TPO antibodies. The presence of these antibodies has an effect on subsequent thyroid damage. So far we have not developed an effective, standard therapy of this disease. However, more attention is ...

The Footprints of Poly-autoimmunity: evidence for common Biological Factors involved in Multiple sclerosis and hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Autoimmune diseases are a diverse group of chronic disorders and affect a multitude of organs and systems. However, the existence of common pathophysiological mechanisms is hypothesized and reports of shared risk are emerging as well. In this regard, patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have been shown to have an increased susceptibility to develop chronic autoimmune thyroid diseases, in particular Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), suggesting an ...
