Introduction: Vitamin E supplementation is recommended for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) for nondiabetic patients, but its preventative effects are unclear.

Methods: We assessed dietary vitamin E intake with disease phenotypes and evaluated vitamin E levels with the development of NAFLD.

Results: Data from >210,000 participants demonstrate that increased dietary vitamin E associates with reduced rates of several gastrointestinal diseases and reduced overall mortality. Diabetic and overweight subjects with increased vitamin E intake have fewer NAFLD diagnoses.

Discussion: Our findings reveal the relevance of vitamin E consumption for several gastrointestinal diseases and warrant further mechanistic and therapeutic investigations.

Background: The diagnostic criteria of neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) have not been established due to non-specific clinical manifestations, and our understanding on the treatment outcome is still limited. We aim to investigate the biochemical characteristics, genetic variants, and treatment outcome of NICCD patients.

Professor & Head, Department of Internal Medicine, Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, India.

Vitamin D deficiency is commonly seen in the general population, likely due to lack of adequate exposure to sunlight as well as lack of sufficient dietary intake. However, severe hypocalcemia secondary to vitamin D deficiency, manifesting as seizures is uncommon. We present a series of such cases encountered by us in the time frame of June 2020 to Dec 2021 (the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic associated with a lockdown) during which patients of varying age groups presented with seizures.
