Filter by:Study Procedures: All patients will undergo the following: Informed consent will be obtained from all the participants in this study before enrolling in this study and all participants will be subjected to a detailed clinical assessment including: a detailed history, general, abdominal examinations, Investigations. 1. History taking: - Personal history: name, age, occupation and address. - Menstrual and obstetric history: Date of LMP, expected date of delivery which will be calculated according to Naegle's rule and gestational age. In addition to history of presence of any menstrual irregularities, duration. - Past History: of Anemia in previous pregnancy, other diseases like Thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, liver or renal diseases or any other condition that may affect hemoglobin. 2. Medical examination: - General: Assessment of complexion and vital data (blood pressure, pulse, capillary refill) - Abdominal examination to assess fundal height. 3. Investigations to perform will include: Laboratory: Complete blood count (microcytic hypochromic anemia) Imaging: Ultrasound to assess biometry to exclude fetal growth restriction. Women will be divided in two groups with 20 in each group, the first group will receive one tab of ferrous gluconate 300mg administered orally twice per day for 4 weeks and the second group will receive lactoferrin sachets 100mg with ferrous gluconate 300mg twice per day for 4 weeks Patients were assigned to take the medication orally; once daily before breakfast, and Pravotin (100 sachets were be dissolved each in ¼ glass of water and taken before breakfast). Patients were advised to avoid the intake of tea, coffee, milk, milk products, antacids and calcium preparation within 2 hours before or after iron capsules. Women will be told to record side effects as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and constipation. Women will have a blood sample (CBC) withdrawn after 2 to 4 weeks to assess rise in pregnant anemia.
The proposed study is a prospective, observational, investigator and patient blinded study comparing the results of blood volume measurement using the FDA-cleared Daxor BVA-100 device to the Daxor BVA-200 device. Data from this study may be pooled with data from studies with similar design conducted at other sites, for the purposes of an FDA medical device submission.
The MATER study is an observational cohort study on first ever transfusion recipients in six hospitals in the Netherlands, with information collected on both donor and patient characteristics. We aim to further specify which combination of characteristics of both donors and patients determine the increased risk of mortality after blood transfusions.
Iron and vitamin D are two essential micronutrients for the normal growth of young children, and their deficiencies are still a major health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. A significant association between vitamin D deficiency and anemia has been reported throughout the world. Several studies in various populations all over the world suggest a high degree of association between Iron deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency. It is still controversial which deficiency causes the other but this association should be addressed in view of a better treatment proposal. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on iron status in iron deficiency anemia.
An open-label, phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag for the treatment of children and adolescents with Fanconi anemia.
Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide, and poor iron bioavailability is a major cause. While 30% of female athletes are affected by ID, and its consequences are highly relevant to athletic performance, ID affects women and children around the world with consequences just as relevant, if not more so (e.g. school performance, work capacity and thus wage earning). With poor iron absorption being a cause of ID in active women, it is especially important to discover simple ways to improve iron (Fe) uptake. While some studies have suggested that consumption of prebiotic fiber may improve Fe absorption in animal models, there have been few studies examining the effects of synbiotic supplementation (consumption of both a prebiotic and probiotic that work together) on Fe uptake in adult females (athletes and non-athletes). A recent pilot study demonstrated a substantial improvement in Fe uptake in female athletes after 4 and 8 weeks of synbiotic supplementation compared to placebo during Fe repletion with a low dose of ferrous sulfate (FeSO4). If synbiotic supplementation can improve the Fe bioavailability of FeSO4 (which is ~30%) in ID women during repletion of Fe status, it could possibly improve the Fe bioavailability of non-heme Fe sources, as well as mixed meals. Research Question: What is the effect of synbiotic supplementation (a supplement containing a prebiotic + a probiotic), compared to prebiotic supplementation or a placebo, on Fe uptake and the gut microbiome in ID athletes during low-dose Fe repletion? Hypothesis: In the proposed study, we hypothesize that synbiotic supplementation along with Fe repletion with a low dose of FeSO4 will have greatest impact on athletes' Fe uptake due to alterations in the microbiome, which will be assessed.
This study is a phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SAL-0951 in CKD-anemia patients in Non-dialysis, comprising 8 weeks of double-blind treatment period followed by an open-label treatment period, making up a total of 27 weeks.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of a local culture-based nutritional education intervention on IST consumption compliance among female adolescents in the Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. The main questions it aims to answer are: a To identify information for the development of a local culture-based nutrition education model and to build a ready-to-implement local culture-based nutrition education model. b. To evaluate the implementation of the Anemia Prevention and Control Program among female adolescents in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. c. To test the impact of the local culture-based nutrition education model on the improvement of knowledge, attitude, and IST consumption compliance among female adolescents. Participants will received IST and local culture-based nutrition education. Researchers will compare control group received IST as the Ministry of Health's program for the prevention of anemia with a subsidy for providing IST
Anemia is a major public health problem among preschool-aged children. The evidence demonstrated that early childhood anemia is a strong predictor of adulthood anemia (Gessner, 2009). According to Egypt's Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS), prevalence rates of anemia in children aged 6-59 months ranged from 23% to 45% (EDHS, 2014). It is assumed that 50% of the cases of anemia are due to ID (Aref and Khalifa, 2019). The major health problem in Egypt is ID that affects 41.2% of children aged <5years (El-Asheer et al., 2021). The total prevalence of IDA in the Nile Delta region was 17.19% of the children (El-Shanshory et al., 2021). Iron is a trace element that is essential to form hemoglobin in red blood cells and to carry oxygen to peripheral tissues. In addition, iron plays essential functions in the mitochondria, which are crucial for regulating energy metabolism in the skeletal muscle (Kang and Li, 2012). And low iron levels limit oxygen bioavailability in the peripheral tissues, including skeletal muscle (Jolly et al., 2001).Yu-mi et al., (2020) found a low handgrip strength in anemic patients. Also, ID can impaired brain energy metabolism, along with hypo-myelination and impaired dopamine signaling, is consistently described as one of the mechanistic causes of the neurodevelopmental deficits associated with early-life ID (Thomas et al., 2020). HYPOTHESES: There is a relation between IDA and pinch strength and hand dexterity in preschool children. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a relation between IDA and pinch strength and hand dexterity in preschool children? The purpose of the current study is to find the relation between IDA and: 1. Pinch grip strength (tripod and tip to tip grip strength). 2. Hand dexterity in preschool children.
