Baixos níveis de vitamina D estão associados a maior dor após cirurgia de câncer de mama

Mulheres com deficiência de vitamina D enfrentam significativamente mais dor e maior uso de opioides após a cirurgia de câncer de mama, de acordo com uma nova pesquisa. O estudo constatou que as pacientes com deficiência tiveram três vezes mais probabilidade de sentir desconforto de moderado a grave no primeiro dia após a mastectomia.

Pesquisadores do Hospital Universitário Fayoum, no Egito, acompanharam 184 mulheres que se preparavam para mastectomia radical modificada unilateral. O estudo observacional prospectivo ocorreu de setembro de 2024 a abril de 2025. Metade das participantes apresentava níveis de vitamina D abaixo de 30 nmol/L, enquanto as demais tinham níveis adequados. A equipe médica não teve acesso aos resultados durante o atendimento.

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.
