Filter by:The main objective of the study is to compare the impact of oral ferric citrate compared to standard of care oral ferrous sulfate on serum iron, percent transferrin saturation, ferritin, hepcidin and hemoglobin levels in individuals with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) and absolute iron deficiency.
The purpose of this study is to know the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among pregnant women in Chinese urban district at present, and to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of ID/IDA and influencing factors.
This retrospective study is a more extensive, confirmatory analysis of the cognitive and functional outcomes initially seen in 2 groups of MCI/dementia patients in Springfield, MA and compares specialized dementia care and a comprehensive treatment approach versus usual care delivered in a non-specialist setting. The first group of patients (n= 328) was seen by a dementia specialist, who utilized a standardized assessment and treatment protocol (CNS). This included comprehensive identification and treatment of hypoxia, sleep-disorders, and other cognitively-impairing metabolic conditions as well as maximally- dosed FDA-approved medications for dementia, depression, and PBA. The second group of patients (n= 280) was seen by non-dementia specialists in the community and received usual care which did not include comprehensive assessment or treatment of underlying metabolic derangements or maximal utilization of currently available medications. This study, evaluating date from a larger cohort (n>800) of specialist-treated cognitively-impaired patients, will further examine the hypothesis that a comprehensive dementia treatment protocol yields cognitive stabilization and/or improvement using already available dementia drugs when compared with usual community care.
Corn-soy vitamin and mineral fortified blended foods (FBFs) are primarily used for food aid, although sorghum and cowpea may be suitable alternative FBF commodities. The objective of the Micronutrient Fortified Food Aid Pilot Project (MFFAPP) Tanzania Efficacy Study is to determine whether newly formulated, extruded sorghum- and cowpea-based FBFs have equal, or better, nutritive value and acceptance compared to a traditional corn-soy blend. The effectiveness of each blend will be determined in an efficacy study of Tanzanian children under the age of 5 that are deficient, or at risk for deficiency, in iron and vitamin A.
To confirm the safety and efficacy of Z-213 until 12 weeks after start of Z-213 administration in patients with iron deficiency Anemia
The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is a wide spread problem in Africa and iron fortification can be an effective strategy to decrease this. In the current study adding different levels of a stabilizer to iron fortified cubes and it's effect on iron bioavailability from these cubes will be studied in the context of a Nigerian meal in women. 24 Female subjects with low serum ferritin levels will be included in the study. The study will last 64 days and subjects will be asked to consume a breakfast and lunch prepared with a bouillon cube with isotope labeled iron during 3 periods of 5 consecutive days. The absorption of iron will be evaluated after every period and compared between the cubes.
The main purpose is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Triferic iron administered orally in healthy adult volunteers. It is a randomized multiple treatments, single dose study.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the non-inferiority of Z-213 compared to Saccharated Ferric Oxide using the maximum change in Hb from baseline over 12 weeks in patients with Iron-deficiency Anemia (IDA)
Iron deficiency affects the opioid and dopamine systems in rodent models, with a higher pain threshold. The opioid system is involved in sucrose's ability to reduce pain and distress during neonatal procedures. Thus, prenatal iron deficiency might affect response to pain and sucrose analgesia. In order to compare response to pain and sucrose during heel stick in neonates with and without iron deficiency, healthy full-term Chinese infants were randomized to receive sucrose or water by syringe beforehand, in conjunction with heel stick for metabolic screening.
This study aims to characterize the diagnostic performance of immunological testing of occult gastrointestinal bleeding in stool in the population aged over 75 years with iron deficiency anemia. As secondary objectives, the study aims to: - determine a threshold of positivity optimizing the immunoassay performance for the study population, in accordance with the probabilities of error (false positives, false negatives) and weights (defined by expert consensus) allocated to these errors. - Assess the benefit of a double measure of bleeding (two stools) by immunoassay compared to a single measure.
