Article Abstract
Globally, there has been increasing attention paid to vitamin D deficiency and its treatment. Vitamin D stosstherapy with high-dose ergocalciferol in a single day is reemerging as a potential treatment option. We present an as yet unreported complication of acute renal injury due to propylene glycol toxicity in a 7-month infant treated with vitamin D stosstherapy. The product label for the vitamin D used for this patient states it is dissolved in propylene glycol (PG), but the amount is not listed on this or other US ergocalciferol liquid products that contain PG. Caution should be used when considering vitamin D stosstherapy with liquid ergocalciferol products available in the United States.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of 300,000 and 600,000 IU vitamin-D single-oral dose for the treatment of vitamin-D deficiency (VDD) in young children (3 mo - 3 y).
Methods: This double-blind randomized control trial (Clinical Trail Registration-CTRI/2012/05/002621) was conducted in the Pediatric out-patient department (OPD) at a tertiary-care referral hospital. Children (3 mo - 3 y) with clinical/radiological features suggestive of VDD were screened; those found to be having 25(OH)D below 15 ng/ml and meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria's were enrolled after taking informed consent.

Objective: Stosstherapy has been used since early 19 century for treating nutritional rickets. However, there are no clear cut guidelines for the biochemical monitoring of this treatment. Repeated blood tests at short intervals increase the cost of therapy and noncompliance.

It has been previously documented that alphacalcidol (1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3) is inefficient in healing rickets, partly because it results in a suboptimal rise in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D) and partly because it fails to replenish the store of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD). However, very few studies have actually documented this outcome. The aim was to document biochemically the response to alphacalcidol and subsequently the change in response to ergocalciferol.

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a devastating form of dental decay affecting many Canadian children, especially those from northern First Nations communities. ECC is multifactorial in origin, and the notion that the principal etiology is inappropriate feeding modalities is no longer tenable.
Methods: This study was conducted in the community of Garden Hill First Nation, Manitoba, to assess the prevalence of dental decay in young children, to assess risk factors for ECC and to determine the influence of vitamin D supplementation (a modified form of stosstherapy using 100,000 IU vitamin D), both prenatally and at 6 weeks of age, on the oral health of children.
