Hepatitis C is a viral infection causing liver disease. Over 3 million people in the US are infected with hepatitis C and over half remain undiagnosed. The vast majority of individuals living with hepatitis C do not have symptoms until the liver disease progresses to cirrhosis and liver failure. This is the story of William who never worried about his hepatitis C infection until he developed severe itching throughout his body. He entered into care in the Johns Hopkins Viral Hepatitis Center’s outpatient clinical program located in the Bartlett Specialty Practice where he was diagnosed with advanced liver disease from chronic hepatitis C infection. This video describes his journey from symptomatic liver disease to treatment to a cure.

PCRI’s Executive Director, Mark Scholz, MD, describes vitamin D’s relevance in prostate cancer management and gives advice for coordinating with your physician to find the appropriate dose if your vitamin D levels are low.
0:01 Vitamin D is often brought up in the context of prostate cancer; most likely because men undergoing hormone treatments experience accelerated calcium loss from the bones (osteoporosis). Adequate vitamin D levels ensure the optimal absorption of calcium, and typically men on hormone therapy should be taking calcium and vitamin D together before bedtime.
0:36 Like with many other supplements, there has been some hype regarding what vitamin D is capable of and a lot of questionable claims about dosing. Actually, there is no universal dosage and the massive amounts that are being touted by the megadose trend are not useful. The appropriate course of action is to have your vitamin D level checked annually by a physician. About 25% of men in their 60s, 70s, and 80s have a vitamin D level below 30 ng/ml which is considered low. If your vitamin D level is low it’s advisable to take about 1,000-2,000 units per day, and then retest about 3-4 months later to make sure that levels are not too high or low. Period retesting is also recommended.
2:13 Ensuring a proper level of vitamin D is essential for men on hormone therapy to help prevent any unnecessary bone loss. Rather than taking megadoses, men should have their vitamin D levels checked, coordinate with their physician, and decide how much to take based on their individual situation.

Researchers from Mayo Clinic have published a new study on the gut microbiome and C. difficile in the journal Science Translational Medicine: http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/10/464/eaam7019. Using a novel mouse model, the researchers found that a subset of patients with diarrhea may be susceptible to C. difficile infection as a result of deleterious changes in their gut bacteria and increased availability of amino acids, the favored food source for the pathogen C. difficile. The researchers also found that fecal microbiota transplant or dietary restriction can decrease amino acids availability and prevent C. difficile infection. Video Rating: / 5
