Lower levels of vitamin D, higher rates of death
Association of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations With All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality Among Adult Patients With Existing Cardiovascular Disease
Observational study, non-interventional
Background
Vitamin D, lower levels, common in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Study of patients with existing CVD
Prospectively examine the associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations with,
All-cause mortality and,
cause-specific mortality
Methods
N = 37,079 patients with CVD from the UK
Biobank study
From a prospective cohort of half a million, aged 40–69 years
CVD
Coronary heart disease
Atrial fibrillation
Heart failure
Stroke
Results
Among 37,079 patients with CVD at baseline, 57.5% were vitamin D deficient
Deficient, 25[OH]D less than 50 nmol/L (less than 20ng/ml)
Median follow-up of 11.7 years
Deaths that occurred = 6,319 total
2,161 deaths from CVD
2,230 deaths from cancer...

Anyone who missed this Speilberg film made 24 years ago MUST see this film which is much more relevant now than it was then. - JW
David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, especially a never-ending love for his "mother", Monica. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically.

Can't re-watch it again
I was 13-14 when I watched this movie. It's a long movie if I recall it correctly. I was so moved by it's theme, so I watched it all. I had strong feelings of sadness and sympathy towards little robot David that wanted to be a real child and to have a mom to love him. And that little bear ... I cried during some scenes. I don't ...
The Mass of Nows:
A Temporal Foundation for Inertia and Gravity

For a century, physics has lived with a quiet asymmetry. Special relativity shattered absolute simultaneity, forcing us to accept that "now" is observer-dependent—an infinite stack of "now-slices" foliating the four-dimensional block universe.
Yet when we turned to dynamics, to the origin of mass and force, we continued to treat space and time as a smooth, empty stage on which particles play. Inertia and gravity were described with exquisite mathematics, but their common cause remained mysterious. The equivalence principle told us they feel the same, but never why they are the same.
The Mass of Nows proposes a simple, radical answer: the stage is not empty. Between the infinite now-slices lies a dense plenum—the zero-point fields of every possible now, permeated by the four-dimensional extent of every particle's wave function.
Mass is not a property particles possess; it is the ...
