Nutritional Deficiencies and Reduced Bone Mineralization in Ulcerative Colitis.

Background: Inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D, vitamin K, and calcium, as well as sub-optimal sunlight exposure, can lead to bone loss in the general population, and more so in patients with ulcerative colitis, who are burdened by additional predisposing factors for osteoporosis, such as chronic inflammation and cortisone use. However, micronutrient deficiencies, if present, are easily corrected by nutritional intervention. While the relation between calcium and vitamin D and bone meta...

Fragility and its dimensions: an analysis methodology in support of local development policies

The research explores different aspects of spatial fragility.

Three main themes concerning environmental, socioeconomic and relational issues are considered in order to integrate fragility assessment into planning practices. Thus, an alternative to approaches often based on one-dimensional criter...
