Grant, PhD of the Sunlight, Nutrition, and Health Research Center (SUNARC) suggests that further investigation of possible direct or indirect linkages between Vitamin D and these dementias is needed.

Public Equipped To Fight Back Against Hospital Bugs As Ward Closure Numbers Soar, UK

A British company has launched an anti-infection kit specifically designed to protect hospital patients and visitors from MRSA, Norovirus, Swine-flu, E-Coli and other hospital-acquired infections. The PatientGuard kit includes the world"s first dry-on-contact spray suitable for use on hospital bed linen, curtains and other "near patient touch sites." The launch coincides with the release of new figures on ward closures due to Norovirus from the Health Protection Agency, which show a 23 per cent increase on the same period last year. Jim Taylor,a former President of Healthcare giant Smith & Nephew and now CEO of Saniguard International, the company behind the kit, believes its launch is timely. "An ICM Poll for the BBC in 2008 showed that 30% of people would consider delaying or avoiding surgery because they fear contracting a hospital acquired infection (HAI). PatientGuard is designed to give people the power to protect themselves when they need hospital treatment." The launch of PatientGuard also coincides with a British Medical Association report criticising Government policy with regard to cleaning regimes in hospitals, where the focus is on deep cleans and the use of alcohol-based hand gels rather than regular disinfection of near patient touch sites.
