Filter by:Iron deficiency anemia is a global health problem and the most common cause of anemia worldwide. Patients with iron deficiency and Iron deficiency anemia can present with a multitude of symptoms including fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, dysphagia, pallor, palpitations, headaches, tinnitus, taste disturbance and pica. Oral iron supplementation is associated with increasing hemoglobin in multiple studies in women, pregnant women and elderly patients. However, the optimal dose and frequency of oral iron supplementation for treatment remains unclear. The current proposed study attempts to address this gap in the literature.
Aplastic anemia (AA) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) are interrelated and very rare diseases. Therefore, little data about clinical characteristics, especially the variety of symptoms in the course of the respective disease are available. As a consequence, patients may be left on their own between infrequent follow-ups at a specialist center. A web-based symptom-monitoring application can support selfmanagement and patient empowerment and promotes a patient- centered interdisciplinary team approach in the context of a "disease management program". This pilot study is to investigate usability and feasibility of the electronic Patient-Reported Outcome (ePRO) application in AA/PNH by assessing recruitment, app utilization, data collection, functionality, acceptability after using and working with the ePRO application.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of M281 in participants with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA).
Anemia is known as a condition in which the hemoglobin level is lower than normal. Anemia is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. Anemia in pregnancy is defined as a hemoglobin level < 110 g/L . Anemia is an important risk factor in pregnancy which leads to both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The pregnant woman needs more iron during pregnancy, so iron deficiency anemia is very common during pregnancy. In Egypt; iron deficiency anemia affects about one in every two pregnant women, especially in rural areas. Pregnant women require about 27 mg/day elemental iron to cover their increased need. The pregnant women should start taking a daily supplement of 30mg of elemental iron as a preventive measure against iron deficiency anemia especially in poor countries. Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat. The body mass index, a measurement based on height and weight, determines the obese if the figure more than 30 kg/m2. There is an increased rate of overweight and obesity among pregnant women. According to the World Health Organization, 46% of adult females in Egypt are obese. Many researches in the literature revealed a strong relationship between high BMI in pregnancy and iron deficiency anemia. Hepcidin is an iron regulating hormone in the body. Increases in iron levels in the plasma stimulate the production of hepcidin, which blocks iron absorption from the diet, so; hepcidin production is suppressed in the case of iron deficiency.
Oncologic patients experience anemia and anemia is associated with poor prognosis. Transfusion is associated with adverse events, and equipoise remains on the optimal transfusion strategy in oncologic patients in surgical setting. The primary objective of this study is to determine the impact of anemia and red blood cells (RBC) transfusion on post-operative complications and mortality.
Children, adolescents, and young adults with malignant and non-malignant conditionsundergoing an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (AlloSCT) will have the stem cells selected utilizing α/β CD3+/CD19+ cell depletion. All other treatment is standard of care.
Investigator have previously shown that hepcidin is up-regulated even by low levels of inflammation and, according to our prior stable isotope studies, is predicted to block iron absorption. In this follow-up observational study, investigator aim to elucidate the potential drivers of this low-grade inflammation and to recalibrate the relationship between hepcidin and iron absorption using a more direct measure of absorption than the stable isotope method which measures the net of absorption and utilization. Investigator will study 120 ostensibly well children (6-24m) living in the rural region of West Kiang. Investigator will: 1. Use detailed clinical screening for possible origins of the low grade inflammation. 2. Assess iron absorption and its relationship to iron and anaemia status, inflammation, EPO, erythroferrone and hepcidin.
To evaluate the hematological responses based on the response assessment criteria defined in this study (the 531-004 response assessment criteria) when AMG531 is subcutaneously (SC)-administered with ciclosporin A (CsA) therapy for 6 months in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) who were previously untreated with immunosuppressive therapy.
The Investigator have previously shown that hepcidin is up-regulated even by low levels of inflammation and, according to our prior stable isotope studies, is predicted to block iron absorption. In this follow-up observational study, the investigator aim to characterise the relationship between infections, acute inflammation, hepcidin and iron iron deficiency anaemia in rural African children. The Investigator will study 200 sick children (6-36 months of age) living in the rural region of West Kiang. The Investigator will: 1. Recruit 50 sick febrile children in each of 4 categories; Upper Respiratory tract infections, Lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia), Urinary tract infections, gastroenteritis. 2. Assess iron absorption and its relationship to iron and anaemia status, inflammation, EPO, erythroferrone and hepcidin.
Patients with IDA and for whom fast replenishment of iron stores is necessary, e.g. if its not appropriated to postpone surgery, will be identified within 28 to 42 days before surgery. Patients will be randomised to receive either Polyglucoferron intravenously (i.v.), Ferric Carboxymaltose i.v. or oral iron substitution with Ferrous sulfate.
