This book was released on 2014 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study looked at the relationship between serum vitamin D concentrations, vitamin D intake, sunlight exposure, BMI, and body fat percentage in both indoor and outdoor female collegiate athletes during fall and spring seasons. Healthy collegiate female athletes, between the ages of 18-22, had BMI calculated from anthropometric measurements, body fat percentage assessments via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, serum vitamin D levels determined via fingerstick and dried blood spots, followed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In addition, sunlight badges worn during a 24-hour period assessed sunlight exposure in fall and spring seasons. Estimated dietary vitamin D intake assessed via Vitamin D Food Frequency Questionnaire (VDFFQ), and sunlight habits were assessed via TWU Sunlight Habits Questionnaire (TSHQ).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pilot cross-sectional study was conducted to assess vitamin D status and body composition of collegiate indoor female volleyball players at Rice University in Houston, TX. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and body composition was determined using air displacement plethysmography. Participants completed a 24-hour food record, vitamin D food frequency questionnaire, and sunlight habit questionnaire to assess dietary vitamin D intake and sunlight exposure habits. This study also piloted the use of La-Roche-Posay MyUV Patch to estimate ultraviolet light A (UVA) and ultraviolet light B (UVB) exposure. No significant relationship was found between vitamin D status, percent body fat, dietary vitamin D intake, or UVA and UVB exposure. However, the study did find that the majority of participants (64%) were vitamin D deficient or insufficient based on serum 25(OH)D. This study contributes to the knowledge of vitamin D status of indoor college athletes and can serve as a template for future studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book gives a nice summary of the current state of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries. It is particularly useful for sports medicine fellows and residents with an interest in athletes and active patients." ---Doody's Review Service, 3 stars Bone stress injuries are commonly seen in athletes and active individuals across a full spectrum of physical activity, age, and gender. While most overuse injuries can be addressed through non-operative care, injuries may progress to full fractures that require surgery if misdiagnosed or not correctly managed. Written by leaders in sports medicine including physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopaedics, endocrinology and allied health professionals of biomechanics, physical therapy and dietetics, Bone Stress Injuries offers state-of-the-art guidelines and up-to-date science and terminology to practitioners. Using a holistic approach to understand the management of bone stress injuries, this book highlights specific considerations by injury, gender, and risk factor to ensure that a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed to optimize bone health, neuromuscular re-education, gait mechanics, and injury prevention. Organized into four parts, opening chapters cover the general need-to-know topics, including clinical history, imaging, and risk factors including biological and biomechanical factors. The book proceeds anatomically through the body from upper extremity to foot and ankle injuries, with each chapter underscoring diagnostic and treatment strategies specific to that region. Chapters dedicated to special populations discuss the differences in injury evaluation and management according to age, gender, and military background. Final chapters review the prevention of injuries and examine both common and novel treatment strategies, such as medications, nutrition, gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other interventions. Invaluable in its scope and approach, Bone Stress Injuries is the go-to resource for sports medicine physicians, physiatrists, and primary care providers who manage the care of athletes and individuals leading active lifestyles. Key Features: Promotes evidence-based practice for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of bone stress injuries Covers specific anatomy that is prone to bone stress injuries with dedicated chapters on upper and lower extremities, pelvis and hip, spine, and foot and ankle Considers evaluation and management differences according to specific populations of pediatric, male, female, and military personnel Discusses emerging strategies to treat bone stress injuries, such as gait retraining, orthobiologics, and other non-pharmacological treatments

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent, groundbreaking medical research has made a connection between Vitamin D deficiency and 17 types of cancers, including breast, colon, and prostate. Illnesses such as influenza, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and coronary heart disease have also been connected to a lack of this vitamin. Until not too long ago, not getting enough Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) was only associated with rickets, the childhood bone disease. Now, Soram Khalsa, M.D., sheds new light on the power of this long-forgotten vitamin. He reveals how to recognize signs of Vitamin D deficiency, which has reached epidemic proportions in North America, and then shares insights from his Beverly Hills medical practice, where he normalizes his own patients’ Vitamin D levels for their optimal health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nutrition and Health series of books has as an overriding mission to provide health professionals with texts that are considered essential because each includes: a synthesis of the state of the science; timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields; extensive, up-to-date fully annotated reference lists; a detailed index; relevant tables and figures; identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences; of information between chapters, but targeted, inter-chapter refer virtually no overlap rals, suggestions of areas for future research; and balanced, data-driven answers to patient questions that are based on the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose training is both research and practice oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objective for their book, define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authori ties from around the world to be part of their initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research, and relate the research de findings to potential human health consequences.

Download or read book Development and Validation of a Vitamin D-specific Food Frequency and Lifestyle Questionnaire to Assess Risk of Hypovitaminosis D in Female College Athletes written by Susan Pauline Gustafson and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research has revealed that lifestyle behaviors and dietary habits put athletes at equal risk as the general population of hypovitaminosis D. A blood test, the gold standard for measuring vitamin D, is costly and invasive. A non-invasive, reliable, and valid measure that estimates the vitamin D intake of female college athletes, provides a tool for assessing the risk of hypovitaminosis D in this population of athletes. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of a self-reported Vitamin D-Specific Food Frequency and Lifestyle Questionnaire (VDFFLQ) developed to evaluate the vitamin D intake of female college athletes. The VDFFLQ estimated vitamin D intake was not statistically correlated to the 3-day dietary intake from the ASA24. The absence of a "gold standard" for this type of assessment could explain the lack of correlation between these two measures and the inability to validate the VDFFLQ. The VDFFLQ was found to be moderately reliable for vitamin D items. Future research should begin with a pilot study to determine questionnaire items specific to the target population. The research should include the recommendation modifications to the VDFFLQ for improved data collection and both male and female participants in a broader age range to increase generalizability.

Download or read book Vitamin D and Rickets written by Z. Hochberg and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centuries ago, during the industrial revolution, rickets, also called 'the English disease', spread rapidly among city-dwelling poor children and became endemic due to vitamin D deficiency and insufficient access to sunlight. Nowadays it appears to be endemic again as the increase of vitamin D deficiency is paralleling the primacy of breast-feeding in Western societies. Breastfeeding, nutritional status and dark skin are the main risk factors for rickets or 'rachitis' as is the correct medical term. Rickets is a childhood disorder and the basis for understanding the disease is rooted in the concept of mineral metabolism and its control mechanisms in the growing fetus, infant and child. As it is now understood that rickets is not only caused by vitamin D deficiency, it has to be kept in mind that vitamin D and calcium deficiency is prevalent in developing countries as well as in affluent societies, where children and their mothers are not exposed to as much sunlight as they need. The rapid growth in molecular biology has been exemplified in the application of subcellular technologies to study vitamin D in human and animal models. In this volume the latest research on vitamin D and rickets is presented from different perspectives such as the interesting historical overview to bone metabolism, molecular genetics of vitamin D and conclusions for disease prevention. It will be of special interest to pediatricians, endocrinologists and health care specialists who work with children at risk for the disease.
