Filter by:The objective is to determine if a set of clinical supports that includes computer-assisted identification, an EHR registry, facilitated GI referral, and an EHR tool for documentation improves the timely referral and completion of bidirectional endoscopy in men aged 18 years and older and women aged 40 years and older with iron deficiency anemia.
Anemia is a worldwide problem with iron deficiency being the most common cause. When anemia occurs in pregnancy, it increases the risk of adverse maternal, fetal, and postnatal outcomes. Anemia rates are among the highest in South Asia, with a recent national survey indicating that over half of pregnant women in India are classified as anemic. For nearly 40 years, India's first-level treatment for anemia in pregnancy has been oral iron; however, side effects, poor adherence to tablet ingestion, and low therapeutic impact are among reasons to consider a new paradigm for treatment of pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Reducing Anemia in Pregnancy in India: the RAPIDIRON Trial is a 3-arm, randomized-controlled trial designed to assess if a single dose of an intravenous (IV) iron formulation, administered early in the second trimester of pregnancy for treatment of moderate IDA, will result in a greater proportion of participants in the IV iron arms achieving a normal hemoglobin concentration in the third trimester when compared to participants randomized to receive oral iron. This trial is also designed to test the hypothesis that the low birth weight (LBW) rate for participants randomized to the IV iron arms will be lower when compared to the LBW rate of those randomly assigned to the oral iron arm. The three arms include two IV iron arms (arm 1 - ferric carboxymaltose, arm 2 - iron isomaltoside, also known as ferric derisomaltose) and an active, comparator arm receiving oral iron, which is the standard of care. This study will be conducted in two states in India - Karnataka and Rajasthan. This study supports the overall goals of the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for pregnancy care; thus, all study participants will be followed according to the Ministry's antenatal care guidelines, and data will be collected through 42 days post-delivery.

Lower respiratory tract infection(LRTI) is a prevalent disease that threatens the health of older people worldwide. Anemia is also a common disorder in the elderly, and its prevalence increases significantly with age. Most factors that contribute to the development of anemia are improvable. Therefore, we investigated whether anemia was a risk factor for LRTI-caused readmission and death in the elderly occurring within 1 year of discharge from the hospital.
The World Health Organization recommends daily iron supplementation for infants and children (6 months-12 years). Based on the low cost and high bioavailability and efficacy, ferrous sulfate is typically the first choice for supplementation and fortification. The recommended dose of iron is set high to deliver adequate absorbed iron due to low rates of dietary iron absorption, which is typically <10%. Thus, the majority of dietary iron is not absorbed and travels to the colon. Unabsorbed iron in the colon may select for enteric pathogens at the expense of beneficial commensal bacteria and increase infection risk, including the clinical incidence of diarrhea. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of iron as ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) or FeSO4-enriched Aspergillus oryzae (Ao iron) on the growth and virulence of common enteric pathogens using an in vitro fecal fermentation model. Stool samples will be collected from children following ingestion of an iron supplement as either FeSO4 or Ao iron. Stool samples will be spiked with common enteric pathogens and outcome measures will be determined following in vitro fecal fermentation.
The main goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of roxadustat for treatment of anemia in participants with non-myeloid malignancies receiving multi-cycle treatments of myelosuppressive chemotherapy.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 8-week intervention clinical study assessing the safety and efficacy of a new low-dose liquid iron supplement in restoring iron levels to normal ranges without promoting constipating side-effects among healthy premenopausal women with non-anemic iron deficiency. The primary outcomes will be an Iron Panel of Serum Iron, Ferritin, Total iron-binding capacity, Transferrin saturation, Complete Blood Count, and high sensitivity - C-Reactive Protein. Secondary outcomes will be surveys on gastrointestinal distress/discomfort and well-being. Adverse events will also be reported.
Removing anti nutrient factors using simple cost-effective and sustainable household methods to improve nutritional status of children in communities were plant based complementary foods are the main source of Nutrients is highly recommended. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine effect of soaking complementary foods on hemoglobin, nutritional and health status of children 6-23 months in agrarian community of bale zone.
Iron deficiency anemia is very common in CKD patients. Data about gastrointestinal lesions in Arab patients are insufficient.
Depersonalized multi-centered registry initiated to analyze dynamics of non-infectious diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection in population of Eurasian adult patients.
It was conducted a prospective study with a series of 45 patients with lateral fragility fractures of the femur treated by three different intramedullary nails. Patients were randomized in Group A (15 patients treated by Affixus Zimmer-Biomet), Group B (15 patients treated by EBA2 - Citieffe) and Group C (15 patients treated by Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation Synthes). One independent observer performed seven biochemical evaluations (hemoglobin serum value) from admission to patient discharge. Surgical time and Blood transfusions number were reported for each partecipant.
