[Vitamin D deficiency in femoral neck fractures (author's transl)]. 1978

H Schmidt-Gayk, and R Wahl, and H H Jung, and J Goossen, and H D Röher

In a therapeutic trial 20 patients with femoral neck fractures (FNF) were treated alternatively without supplemental vitamin D, calcium and phosphate or with 15 000 I.U. vitamin D2, 500 mg Ca++ and 560 mg of phosphate daily. Within two weeks, 25-OH-D in serum increased in patients with supplementary therapy. It is concluded that in the German Federal Republic, vitamin D deficiency is frequently found in the elderly during the winter months and that vitamin D deficiency could be important for the development of FNF.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
