“…Serum 25(OH)D levels in our sample indicate a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency among hospitalized psychiatric patients. These results are consistent with similar studies conducted by Zeng et al in the US Midwest,41 McCue et al in New York,22 Berk et al in Australia,11 and Humble et al in northern Europe 42. However, in our study, 85% of the sampled patients had lower than normal vitamin D, a much higher level than that identified in similar studies.…”

“…However, in our study, 85% of the sampled patients had lower than normal vitamin D, a much higher level than that identified in similar studies. A 2016 cross-sectional study in the US determined the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among psychiatric inpatients and found that 30% of patients had sufficient levels,41 double that of the present study. Per Centers for Disease Control data, ~20%–25% of North American people are considered to be vitamin D insufficient and 7% had hypovitaminosis D 43…”

BackgroundRecent evidence has indicated a potential role of vitamin D3 in a range of neuropsychiatric outcomes, as well as on cognitive function, but conflicting data have left that role uncertain. Understanding potential associations of vitamin D status with psychiatric illness will allow clinicians to better assess therapeutic options. Few studies have examined vitamin D status among a racially diverse group of psychiatric patients who have been hospitalized, and none has done so in the southern US where socioeconomic inequality is high.MethodsIn this retrospective study, medical records from 113 patients hospitalized for psychiatric illness were retrieved and analyzed. Vitamin D status in this population was estimated, along with any patterns of association between deficiency and risk factors.ResultsThe vast majority of patients hospitalized for psychiatric illness in this biracial, low-income sample had either insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels. African-American patients had lower levels of vitamin D than Caucasian patients.DiscussionOur findings demonstrate that hospitalized psychiatric patients are at increased risk for vitamin D deficiency and in particular low-income, African-American populations. These results suggest that vitamin D should be assessed and therapy considered at the initiation of psychiatric hospitalizations.

“…In a small scale cohort study in third trimester maternal 25 (OH)D levels were analyzed, the study participants were followed up until the age of 30 and the investigators reported that levels of maternal vitamin D may be associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia (29 vs 46% ) (Eyles et al 2003). Similarly, Zeng and colleagues also evaluated 52 patients and found that 28.8% of the patients in the study had low vitamin D levels and no difference had been seen between major psychiatric diagnoses (Zeng et al 2016).…”

A Review of Daylighting System: For Prototype Systems Performance and Development

et al. 2019

Daylighting systems make daylight illuminance possible, and the development of prototype daylighting systems can provide more efficient daylight illuminance. The purpose of this article is to review the development and performance of prototype daylighting systems in the last decade. The passive and active daylighting systems are listed separately and divided into the four categories by the presence and absence of hybrid. Each prototype daylighting system was evaluated in terms of cost and daylight performance and as well as their novel optical design. We evaluated the architecture and daylighting principles of each system by reviewing individual prototype daylighting systems. The cost of prototype systems still poses a challenge to development. How to use passive or active systems in different environments and whether or not electrical lighting assistance is needed is a controversial issue. However, active daylighting systems equipped with solar tracking systems are still mainstream. This research is a valuable resource for daylight researchers and newcomers. It is helpful to understand the advantages of various prototype daylighting systems and commercial daylighting systems that have been developed for many years; moreover, it is also possible to know the research directions suggested by the prototype daylighting systems. These will be of further use in developing innovative and better daylighting systems and designs.

Vitamin D status of psychiatric inpatients at a community teaching hospital in the Midwest

Abstract: Low 25-(OH) D level was found in a high percentage of psychiatric inpatients in Kansas City. Screening for vitamin D deficiency could be a routine work-up for psychiatric inpatients. Vitamin D supplement for African American inpatients with low vitamin D levels could be considered.
