Vitamin D Deficiency is Highly Prevalent in COPD and Correlates with Variants in the Vitamin D Binding Gene KU Leuven

Wim Janssens, Roger Bouillon, Bart Claes, An Lehouck, Johan Coolen, Chantal Mathieu, Marc Decramer, Diether Lambrechts

INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with many chronic illnesses, but little is known about its relation with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVES: We measured serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25-OHD) in 414 (ex)-smokers older than 50 years and assessed the link between vitamin D status and presence of COPD. The rs7041 and rs4588 variants in the vitamin D binding gene (GC) were genotyped and their effects ...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, chlorproguanil-dapsone with artesunate and post-treatment haemolysis in African children treated for uncomplicated malaria Institute of Tropical Medicine

C. Van Malderen, Jean-Pierre Van Geertruyden, S. Machevo, R González, Q. Bassat, A Talisuna, A Yeka, C Nabasumba, P. Piola, A. Daniel, et al.

BACKGROUND: Malaria is a leading cause of mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan African children. Prompt and efficacious treatment is important as patients may progress within a few hours to severe and possibly fatal disease. Chlorproguanil-dapsone-artesunate (CDA) was a promising artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), but its development was prematurely stopped because of safety concerns secondary to its associated risk of haemolytic ...

Vitamin K deficiency: the linking pin between COPD and cardiovascular diseases? KU Leuven

Wim Janssens, Robrecht Janssen

Cardiovascular diseases are prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Their coexistence implies that many COPD patients require anticoagulation therapy. Although more and more replaced by direct oral anticoagulants, vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) are still widely used. VKAs induce profound deficiency of vitamin K, a key activator in the coagulation pathway. It is recognized however that vitamin K is also an essential ...

Bridging the Green Gap: Monochromatic InP-Based Quantum-Dot-on-Chip LEDs with over 50% Color Conversion Efficiency KU Leuven

Bega Karadza, Youri Meuret

Solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emit nearly monochromatic light, yet seamless tuning of emission color throughout the visible region remains elusive. Color-converting powder phosphors are therefore used for making LEDs with a bespoke emission spectrum, yet broad emission lines and low absorption coefficients compromise the formation of small-footprint monochromatic LEDs. Color conversion by quantum dots (QDs) can address these issues, ...
