Un faible taux de vitamine D associé à des douleurs accrues après une chirurgie du cancer du sein

Selon de nouvelles recherches, les femmes souffrant d'une carence en vitamine D ressentent des douleurs nettement plus intenses et consomment davantage d'opioïdes après une opération du cancer du sein. L'étude a révélé que les patientes carencées étaient trois fois plus susceptibles de ressentir un inconfort modéré à sévère le premier jour suivant une mastectomie.

Des chercheurs du Fayoum University Hospital en Égypte ont suivi 184 femmes devant subir une mastectomie radicale modifiée unilatérale. L'étude observationnelle prospective s'est déroulée de septembre 2024 à avril 2025. La moitié des participantes présentaient des taux de vitamine D inférieurs à 30 nmol/L, tandis que les autres avaient des niveaux adéquats. Le personnel médical n'avait pas connaissance de ces résultats lors des soins.

A study published in the journal *Bone Research* reports that parathyroid hormone (PTH) reduced pain-related behaviors in mouse models of spinal degeneration, apparently by strengthening vertebral endplates and triggering bone-cell signals that repel pain-sensing nerve fibers. The work was led by Dr. Janet L. Crane of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

A major randomized trial led by Mass General Brigham found that a four-week course of high-dose vitamin D3 started soon after a positive COVID-19 test did not reduce acute illness severity, healthcare visits or deaths, and did not curb household spread. But in an analysis limited to participants who consistently took the assigned pills, researchers observed a small, borderline statistically significant difference in lingering symptoms reported eight weeks after infection, a finding they say warrants further study.

A new study has found that adults with higher vitamin D levels in their 30s and 40s tend to have lower levels of tau protein in their brains about 16 years later. Tau is a key biomarker associated with dementia. The research, published this week, highlights a potential modifiable risk factor for brain health.

A 59-year-old woman achieved remission from a cancerous arm tumor without further treatment after a diagnostic biopsy. The procedure appears to have sparked an immune response that eliminated the myxofibrosarcoma within weeks. This marks one of only nine known similar cases.
