Article Synopsis
- A Phase II clinical trial examined the effects of intravenous vitamin C on patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplants to reduce nonrelapse mortality (NRM).
- Patients (55 total) were given IV vitamin C for 14 days, which corrected their initial vitamin C deficiency and showed a trend towards lower NRM (11%) compared to historical controls (25%).
- The study suggests that vitamin C repletion is safe and may improve survival rates (82% vs. 62%), but further randomized trials are necessary to validate these findings.

Rosuvastatin is known to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and improve endothelial function. In addition to lipid-lowering, statins may exert pleiotropic (nonlipid lowering) effects on microvascular function. We compared the neurophysiological and vascular responses of dietary control and treatment with 10 mg of rosuvastatin in 16 subjects with neuropathy and established type 2 diabetes.
