Ascorbic acid and iloprost attenuate the lung injury caused by ischemia/reperfusion of the lower extremities.
PMID: Ann Vasc Surg. 2006 Jan ;20(1):49-55. PMID: 16378148 Abstract Title: Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and iloprost attenuate the lung injury caused by ischemia/reperfusion of the lower extremities of rats. Abstract: The objectives of this study were to compare the protective effects of ascorbic acid and iloprost on lung injury caused by ischemia reperfusion (I/R) …
A significant association was observed between duration of asthma and plasma vitamin C level.
PMID: East Mediterr Health J. 2005 Jan-Mar;11(1-2):87-95. PMID: 16532676 Abstract Title: Comparison of plasma and leukocyte vitamin C status between asthmatic and healthy subjects. Abstract: In a case-control study the vitamin C status of 50 adults with chronic controlled asthma was compared with that of 50 randomly selected healthy controls. Vitamin C intake was assessed …
Vitamin D deficiency and acute lung injury.
PMID: Inflamm Allergy Drug Targets. 2013 Aug ;12(4):253-61. PMID: 23782208 Abstract Title: Vitamin D deficiency and acute lung injury. Abstract: Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and the more severe form Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the critically ill patient. It is characterised by a severe inflammatory process …

PMID: 26643859 Abstract Title: Acute respiratory distress syndrome: Predictors of noninvasive ventilation failure and intensive care unit mortality in clinical practice. Abstract: PURPOSE: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is used as an initial ventilatory support in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but its utility is unclear, …
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with mortality in the medical intensive care unit.
PMID: Crit Care. 2011 ;15(6):R292. Epub 2011 Dec 10. PMID: 22152332 Abstract Title: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with mortality in the medical intensive care unit. Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The incidence of vitamin D deficiency in critically ill patients has been reported to range from as low as 17% to as high as 79%. Data regarding …
Accumulating evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency is linked to excess mortality.
PMID: Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2009 Nov ;12(6):634-9. PMID: 19710612 Abstract Title: Vitamin D deficiency and mortality. Abstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize recent findings on vitamin D deficiency and mortality. The serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], the metabolic precursor of the vitamin D hormone calcitriol, is the standard for assessing vitamin …
Vitamin D prevents experimental lung fibrosis and predicts survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
PMID: Pulm Pharmacol Ther. 2019 04 ;55:17-24. Epub 2019 Jan 16. PMID: 30659895 Abstract Title: Vitamin D prevents experimental lung fibrosis and predicts survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Vitamin D (VitD) is a steroid hormone with cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. Epidemiological studies have suggested a link between VitD deficiency and risk …
Vitamin D deficiency is common in severe sepsis.
PMID: Crit Care Med. 2017 Feb ;45(2):282-289. PMID: 27632669 Abstract Title: Vitamin D Deficiency in Human and Murine Sepsis. Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Vitamin D deficiency has been implicated as a pathogenic factor in sepsis and ICU mortality but causality of these associations has not been demonstrated. To determine whether sepsis and severe sepsis are associated with …
