Background: The association of vitamin D deficiency with coronary artery disease (CAD) is controversial. This study seeks the association between vitamin D deficiency and acute myocardial infarction (MI) in Iraq.
Patients And Methods: A total of 104 patients with acute MI and 104 healthy controls were studied throughout 2015. Their demographic, cardiovascular risk factors, and clinical characteristics were recorded. Serum vitamin D measurement was carried out for all patients.
Results: Vitamin D was more deficient in cases than controls; the number of cases was 60 (57.7%) and 53 (51%), respectively. However, a statistically significant difference (=0.6) was not obtained. In the patient group, type 2 diabetes mellitus showed a strong association with vitamin D deficiency; there were 31 (81.6%) diabetic patients and 29 (43.9%) nondiabetic patients (<0.001).
Conclusion: No statistical association between vitamin D deficiency and acute MI was found. Nevertheless, a strong association between vitamin D deficiency and acute MI with type 2 diabetes mellitus was seen.

Anaemia and iron deficiency in India: a venous blood-based survey of adolescents, adults, and the elderly in eight states.
Eur J Clin Nutr

Department of Paediatrics, Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research, New Delhi, India.
Background: Surveys based on capillary blood show that anaemia is rampant in India, but capillary blood haemoglobin (Hb) may not accurately reflect venous blood Hb concentrations. Further, iron deficiency (ID) is thought to be the main cause of anaemia, there are no venous blood-based surveys to confirm this.
Methods: A community-based (urban, slum and rural) cross-sectional, venous blood survey was conducted in eight Indian states to estimate anaemia and ID prevalences from Hb and inflammation-corrected plasma ferritin concentrations in adolescents, adults, and elderly.
Vitamin D and exercise improve VEGF-B production and IGF-1 levels in diabetic rats: insights the role of miR-1 suppression.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is closely associated with the development of vascular damage in the heart. In this study, the researchers aimed to determine whether Aerobic Training (AT) and Vitamin D supplementation (Vit D) could alleviate heart complications and vascular damage caused by diabetes. The effects of an eight-week AT program and Vit D on the expression of miR-1, IGF-1 genes, and VEGF-B in the cardiomyocytes of rats with T2DM.
