Master's Thesis Defense: The Role of Vitamin D in Improving Lung Function for Sickle Cell Anemia Patients

 

A Master's thesis was defended at the College of Pharmacy, University of Basrah, entitled "Respiratory Function Disorders in Sickle Cell Anemia Patients and the Role of Vitamin D in Improving Lung Function Tests" by the student **Abeer Jaafar Mohammed Abdul Rasul**.

The study addressed the respiratory health challenges faced by sickle cell anemia patients and the disease's impact on lung function. These patients frequently suffer from acute malnutrition and vitamin D deficiency, leading to chronic respiratory complications.

Scientific Research Objectives & Outcomes:

Study Objectives

  • Investigate the impact of sickle cell anemia on respiratory functions.
  • Compare lung function tests between patients and healthy control groups.
  • Evaluate the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in physiological improvement.

Key Conclusions

  • Identified significant differences in lung function tests compared to healthy individuals.
  • Confirmed the tangible role of Vitamin D in enhancing respiratory efficiency.
  • Recommended integrating Vitamin D into the standard therapeutic protocols.
