Objective: To investigate whether calcium supplements increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
Osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in older people. Calcium supplements margin- ally reduce the risk of fracture, and most guidelines recommend adequate calcium intake as an integral part of the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis. Consequently, calcium supplements are commonly used by people over the age of 50. Observational stu- dies suggest that high calcium intake might protect against vascular disease, and the findings are consis- tent with those of interventional studies of calcium sup- plements thatshow improvementin some vascular risk factors. In contrast, …

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an over production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially TNFα, causing joint erosions and disability in untreated patients. Targeted therapies have had some success but are not without side effects and limitations; additionally, patients become refractory to treatment, and are obligated to use a combination of therapies. Therefore, new therapeutics are necessary. One novel target is sphingolipids, specifically sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1). Previous research has demonstrated that knockdown/knockout of SphK1 influences the production of inflammatory mediators (i.e. COX-2 and PGE2) in vitro and in vivo. Since sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) receptors are upregulated in RA synovium, …
