Low Vitamin D Levels Associated With Chronic Pain In Women
�Low vitamin D levels may contribute to chronic pain among women, suggests research promulgated ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
The findings are based on the blood analyses and botheration scores of almost 7000 45 yr old manpower and women from across England, Scotland and Wales, all of whom were born during one calendar week in March 1958.
Smokers, non-drinkers, the overweight and the boney all reported higher rates of chronic pain.
The extent of chronic widespread pain did not vary among workforce according to vitamin D levels. However, this was not the case for women.
Women with vitamin D levels between 75 and 99 mmol/litre had the lowest rates of this type of annoyance, at just over 8%.
Women with levels of less than 25 mmol/litre had the highest rates, at 14.4%.
There appeared to be a J shaped curve, with the prevalence of widespread pain at 10% or higher among those with vitamin D levels above 99 mmol/litre.
The findings were not explained by grammatical gender differences in lifestyle or social factors, such as levels of physical activity and time spent out-of-doors, say the authors.
And at the age of 45, few of the women would have entered the change of life, a period during which bone mineral density falls as estrogen levels dwindle down.
But by way of possible explanations, the authors point to osteomalacia, a disease of extreme vitamin D lack, which is associated with isolated or generalised osseous tissue pain. The hormonally active form of vitamin D is too involved in the regulation of immune system responses.
Around one in 10 of the population suffers from chronic widespread pain at whatever one fourth dimension, say the authors.
The causes ar not fully understood, just social and psychological factors are known to affect the whizz and reporting of pain.

R. Kelly trial: Juror nearly dismissed
An R. Kelly juror was nearly dismissed this morning after throwing a temper tantrum at the sequestration hotel Thursday evening.
The man, a white male in his 40s, apparently became agitated when his food and drink failed to arrive promptly during dinner.
"I've been waiting for a [expletive] half hour for a drink," a deputy quoted him as saying. "All I want is a couple of beers and a hamburger."
Cook County jurors typically are allowed to order any menu item under $10 and to have two alcoholic drinks at taxpayers' expense while sequestered.
Deputies said the man's fellow jurors told him there was no need for foul language, but he continued to rant. He was then removed from the dining area and taken outside, where he allegedly made some unflattering comments about the law-enforcement officials.
"You guys have been monitoring me all day," he was quoted as saying. "You know I'm not drunk."
The man was given his own room at the hotel following the disruption, deputies said.
Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan called the man into the courtroom and asked if he was trying to intimidate his fellow jurors. The man giggled and told the judge he was just feeling claustrophobic.
"Why are you laughing?" the judge asked. "You're grinning at me. Do you have a mental problem?"
The man told the judge that he was fine. The juror has grinned through much of the trial—even when the sex tape was played.
Gaughan let the other 11 jurors decide whether to keep him or restart deliberations with an alternate. The jury sent back a note saying it would continue discussing the case with the man on the panel.
"Your actions have consequences," the judge said. "I don't want another outburst."

The R. Kelly jury resumed deliberations at 8:30 a.m. after spending the night sequestered in a local hotel.
The panel spent more than three hours discussing the case Thursday before the judge ordered them to recess. They already have elected a foreman and asked for testimony transcripts, which the judge denied.

No more arguments. No more colorful cross-examinations. No more evidence. No more testimony.
After a night tucked away in an undisclosed hotel, jurors in the R Kelly case begin deliberating again at 8:30 a.m.

Sean Connery to unveil autobiography
Sean Connery is set to shake and stir this year's Edinburgh Book Festival by unveiling an autobiography on his 78th birthday.
The Scottish actor who defined the role of British secret agent James Bond and his literary collaborator, film maker Murray Grigor, discuss the book at the festival on August 25, organisers said.
Connery, a passionate Scottish nationalist who has sworn not to live in his home country until it is independent, has titled his memoirs "Being a Scot".
As the book festival celebrates its 25th anniversary, director Catherine Lockerbie told Reuters she had been keeping an eye on Connery's autobiography through its various incarnations.
Edinburgh-born, Connery once delivered milk in the city and posed as a model at the College of Art before hitting the big time.
"His book obviously had to be launched with us," Lockerbie said.
BIGGEST IN THE WORLD
The literary feast, with a record 800 authors participating in 750 events from August 9-25, runs alongside the international arts festival, the anarchic fringe and a series of exhibitions in the biggest annual celebration of its kind in the world.
Connery's appearance also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ian Fleming, creator of British superspy James Bond, otherwise known as agent 007.
Author and comedian Charlie Higson will launch the fifth and final episode of his successful Young Bond series, while the authorised biography of Fleming, For Your Eyes Only, will feature at the festival.
Lockerbie has sought to attract authors from around the world.
Focus on China brings writers from the world's most populous nation, while themes on the 60th anniversary of the founding of Israel and fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq are covered in the festival's East and West and War and Terror series.
Lockerbie said the international aspect was key to the festival.
"I have been steadily working to increase the number of nations and cultures represented ... I think there's a strange disjunction between a globalize, homogenized, shrinking world, in one respect, and the fact that we still don't understand other cultures, points of view.
"And it seems to me that with the arts in general, and literature in particular, is a key vehicle for understanding, and that's been a mission of mine."
