Nutrients Webinar | What is New on Vitamin D: Implications for Daily Clinical Practice
In the last two decades, vitamin D has been the focus of tremendous ongoing scientific research. Its primogenetic undisputed role in bone mineralization has been expanded to a strikingly disparate amalgamation of transparent scientific cases and observational studies, randomized controlled trials of doubtful design, and sporadically personal aphorisms and dogma. This phenomenon configures a burgeoning scientific field in which substantial controversy is inevitably reflected in daily clinical practice, resulting in a precarious interpretation of available results, lifestyle-affected vitamin D supplementation in vitamin-D-sufficient populations, and ineffective dosing and time regimens.
In this context, somewhere in between the dipole of inordinate enthusiasm and critical opposition, the vast majority of healthcare providers worldwide, involved in some part of the developed vitamin D daily agenda, postulate a sound individualized scientific approach unbiased from quandaries, oriented to improve long-term health outcomes and patient quality of life beyond the platonic caves of available knowledge in the field.
This webinar on vitamin D aims to draw attention to all current conflicting aspects of vitamin D research, including the following:
- What is new on Vitamin D and COVID-19?
- Results from the VITAL study: The changing spectrum of extraskeletal benefits of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases.
- Calcifediol for the treatment of hypovitaminosis D: Clinical perspectives.
- New data on dosing regimens (VIDA trial): Should monthly dosing be excluded from chronic vitamin D supplementation?
These hot topics are discussed by top-class international experts in the field, having devoted several years to vitamin D research. We hope for this webinar to shed some light on the ongoing controversy of the vitamin D “friendly” perspective versus vitamin D skepticism, with a discourse on clinical implications and physicians’ daily decision making, into the beginning of the new decade.
The following experts will be present and talk:
- Dr. Spyridon Karras, National Scholarship Foundation, Thessaloniki, Greece
- Dr. Fatme Al Anouti, Department of Health Sciences, College of Natural and Health Sciences, Zayed University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
- Dr. John White, Department of Physiology, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- Dr. Jean Claude Souberbielle, Department of Physiology, Necker-Enfants Maladies University Hospital, Paris Descartes University, Paris, France
- Dr. Salvatore Minisola, Department of Clinical, Internal, Anesthesiology, and Cardiovascular Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy
