Vitamin D has been recognized to have a significant impact on modulating immune response in the host body. The relationship between deficiency of Vitamin D and rectovaginal colonization with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women is still not well understood.
In a sunny country such as Australia, it’s important to identify how to achieve the right amount of sun exposure for good health. We need to be able to harness the benefits of vitamin D and sunlight while remaining protected from the proven dangers of too much UV radiation.
Carcinogenic effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) with reference to skin cancer are the basis of widely implemented recommendations to avoid sun exposure. Whether the benefits of "restrictive sun policies" outweigh their potential harms due to diminished beneficial effects of sunlight exposure remain a matter of controversy.
This review highlights significant gaps in research pertaining to sun exposure and type 2 diabetes mellitus related outcomes
Season and latitude modify the relationship between ambient ultraviolet radiation and personal ultraviolet radiation exposure
UVR or sunlight exposure may be an effective means of suppressing the development of obesity and MetS, through mechanisms that are independent of vitamin D
This genome-wide association study (GWAS) utilises data from the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study for 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels...
This paper examined dose-response relationships between ambient UVR levels and NMSC incidence at the population level.
The aim of this study was to investigate the link between vitamin D levels in the blood and short-sightedness in young adults.
This paper is a review of potential novel therapeutic targets or tools for the treatment of asthma and COPD.
