Filter by:Vaccines often underperform in Africa compared to high-income countries. Why vaccines do not work as well in Africa remains uncertain. Malnutrition likely plays a role. Our study objective is to assess whether iron deficiency anaemia in young women impairs their immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine, and whether iron treatment improves their response.
Telephone surveys of female patients using liposomally-bound iron and traditional iron sulphate preparations for the management of iron deficiency anemia to determine gastrointestinal tolerability.
Postoperative anemia is common in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Iron deficiency delays the recovery from postoperative anemia and may negatively affect the postoperative trajectory of cardiac surgery patients. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of treatment of postoperative iron deficiency anemia with intravenous iron on disability 90 days after surgery. This will be evaluated in a randomized placebo-controlled double blind two-center trial in which 310 elective cardiac surgery patients will be included.

Our study objective is to assess whether iron deficiency anaemia in young women impairs their immune response to viral vaccines, and whether iron treatment improves their response.
In this prospective open-label randomized tral, 100 patients with elective off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) or minimal invasive direct coronary bypass (MIDCAB) surgery were enrolled. Before surgery, if a patient had iron deficiency anemia, the patient was randomized to receive Ferinject®(Ferric carboxymaltose, n=50) or placebo (normal saline, n=50), respectively. A single dose should not exceed 1000mg of iron per day or 20mg per kg body weight. In addition, the administration of 1000mg of iron should not exceed once a week. Administration to patients with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease is once daily, and the maximum dose should not exceed 200 mg (4 ml) of iron. Patients weighing less than 35 kg should not exceed 500 mg total iron dose. It uses intravenous infusion and can be administered up to 1,000mg (20ml) as the maximum iron once. For intravenous infusion, this drug is diluted with 0.9% sterile physiological saline solution.
Female endurance athletes are susceptible to iron deficiency and this can impact their exercise performance. This study assesses the impact of an pea protein supplement with high iron bio-availability on iron status and exercise performance.
This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial that will examine the efficacy of IV iron supplementation when compared to placebo, with and without exercise training, on changes in patient exercise capacity. The study aims to provide sufficient data to inform a power calculation for the definitive study to examine whether IV iron therapy in patients with CKD stages 3-4 (non-dialysis) can improve exercise capacity, muscle metabolism and physical function. Specifically, we propose to examine whether a strategy of IV iron therapy in patients with stages 3-4 CKD who are iron-deficient but NOT anaemic leads to improvements in exercise capacity. Very little is currently known about the effects of iron deficiency on cardiac or skeletal muscle metabolism in patients suffering from CKD. Nevertheless, it seems likely that iron deficiency will contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced energy production in cardiac or skeletal muscle of CKD patients, and importantly may contribute to the reduced exercise capacity, physical function and overwhelming fatigue commonly reported in this population. The results of this trial will provide data to ascertain whether intravenous iron therapy might be beneficial to exercise capacity, muscle metabolism, physical function, and fatigue and whether iron repletion enhances the effect of an exercise intervention.
This study aims to investigate whether the treatment of non-anemic iron deficiency with intravenous iron sucrose will result in decreased symptom reporting and improved cardiovascular indices in patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
Polyphenols present in tea are known to inhibit the absorption of non heme iron. The inhibiting effect of tea on non-heme iron absorption is attributed to the flavonoids present in tea. It is well known that Ferrous sulfate is not absorbed well in the presence of polyphenols. We would like to evaluate the effect of polyphenols on the newly developed compound, sodium iron chlorophyllin (SIC), which mimics the heme iron structure. Comparisons of fractional absorption of SIC and Ferrous Sulfate in the presence of polyphenols can help identify the performance of the compounds as vehicles for iron delivery in the presence of iron absorption inhibitors. In a single-blind randomized cross-over study using stable iron isotope technique, iron bioavailability from SIC delivered with an inhibitory matrix can therefore be determined when given along with black tea
The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence, nature and location of lesions in the GI tract that may contribute to iron deficiency anaemia and compare diagnostic yied of the upper GI magnetic controlled capsule endoscopy with conventional gastroscopy.
