Filter by:Iron deficiency (ID) continues to be one of the most prevalent disorders, which can adversely affect cognitive ability in childhood. Our aim was to determine the effect of a dietary iron education program (DIP) on children's iron status and intelligence quotient (IQ) score. This pre-test (week 1) post-test (week 16) quasi-experimental study with follow-up (week 18) utilized constructs from the Health Belief Model. Children and caregivers participated in the DIP which incorporated group talks, presentations, brainstorming, game-based learning and cooking sessions from weeks 2-15. Knowledge of ID and dietary iron, perceived susceptibility and severity, benefits and barriers for changing behavior, dietary intake, iron status and IQ score were determined at all timepoints (weeks 1, 16, and 18).
Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) represents a global public health problem which has a significant impact on human health and social and economic development. Inadequate iron intake, chronic blood loss and impaired iron absorption are among the causes of IDA There are an association between H. pylori infection and IDA, but the biological explanation for H. pylori infection causing iron-deficiency anemia remains unknown. Initially, sideropenic anemia was considered to be caused by occult blood loss due to chronic superficial active gastritis caused by H. pylori, but subsequent studies did not confirm this theory . H. pylori infection can cause disorders in iron assimilation and increased iron requirements. Hypoacidity caused by pangastritis and a low level of ascorbic acid in the stomach of patients infected with H. pylori may affect the absorption of iron in the duodenum . In addition, levels of lactoferrin gastric mucosa (an iron-binding protein) are high in patients infected with iron-deficient H. pylori, showing a possible role between increased lactoferrin sequestration and iron utilization by the body . H. pylori also competes with the host for available food grade iron. H. pylori has several iron acquisition systems, which can capture iron available in the microenvironment of the stomach lumen . Moreover, there are studies that indicate that an iron-deficiency anemia which does not respond to iron therapy can be resolved by eradicating H. pylori from the stomach . ABO blood group seem to be looked into as risks for H. pylori related stomach malignancy, nevertheless, there are actually inconsistent scientific studies because of numerous confounding outcomes. Blood group antigens have the receptor properties for toxins, parasitic organisms and bacteria, exactly where this bacteria could assist in annexation or intrusion and avert multitude approval components .
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of Benazir Nashonuma Program (BNP) which includes specialized nutritious food (SNF) augmented with specific reproductive health interventions during pregnancy on proportion of low birthweight babies and stunting among children, in low income setting of Pakistan. The study aims to answer if: 1. Utilization of Benazir Nashonuma Program (BNP) among pregnant women is effective in reducing the proportion of low birthweight babies, compared to pregnant women who are not utilizing the program, among low income setting population. 2. Utilization of Benazir Nashonuma Program (BNP) is effective in reducing the proportion of stunting among children, compared to those not utilizing the program, among low income setting population. Participants who are enrolled in the Benazir Nashonuma Program (receiving intervention) and those who are not enrolled (not receiving intervention) will be followed throughout pregnancy till delivery. After delivery mother-baby dyad will be followed for a period of 12 months. Compliance of supplementation will be measured, and outcomes (low birthweight and stunting) observed throughout the follow up.
Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and iron deficiency will be randomized to either receive iron infusion or be in the control group. The study is looking at how iron replacement affects exercise capacity as measured by peak oxygen uptake.
We have been well guided in the "Good use of blood" during major surgery for many years, reaching a percentage of 4% of patients transfused after elective prosthetic operations. Valid patient blood management must provide for the possibility of limiting/zeroing the transfusion risk dependent on preoperative anemia, and the national guideline on PBM (Patient blood management) also underlines this Hypothesis and relevance
Subjects were tested for hemoglobin, ferritin, serum iron, transferrin saturation and reticulocyte count during routine prenatal examination at 24-26 weeks of gestation, and blood samples were taken for serum hepcidin detection in the laboratory and the values were recorded. Those who met the criteria were included in the study group, signed the informed consent form and randomized into groups, and were given different drug administration schemes (150mg orally every day, 300mg orally every day, 150mg orally every other day, 300mg orally every other day, intravenous). At the same time, each subject was given anemia diet education, and all subjects were given folic acid 400ug/d and vitamin C 0.5g/d orally during the treatment period. If the subjects were in the oral iron group, the same time of oral iron was determined as 20 o'clock ± 1 hour in the evening, and the oral iron was not taken with other drugs; If the subject is in the intravenous medication group, the medication is scheduled to be administered at a uniform time of 8 o'clock ± 1 hour in the morning. The above subjects were followed up. Hemoglobin, ferritin, serum iron, transferrin saturation and reticulocyte count were performed at 30-32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy and delivery, and blood samples were taken for serum hepcidin detection in the laboratory and the values were recorded. The adverse reactions were investigated with a questionnaire at the last prenatal examination before delivery. After full term delivery, the patient fills in the delivery information and enters it into the database. Finally, the data statistician and the above personnel used the blind method for statistical analysis and reached a conclusion.
Observational cohort randomized controlled study to study the influence of correction of ID by intravenous injection of ferric carboxymaltose (Ferinject®) on quality of life indicators, functional status in a cohort of patients with HFpEF.
The goal of this [type of study: clinical trial] is to compare compare the nutrition, development, obesity risk and anemia risk of the infant with the BLW method and TCF method given to the mothers of infants who have switched to complementary feeding. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the feeding and development of the babies in both groups? - Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the obesity risk and anemia risk of babies in both groups? Participants will participate in each session of the complementary nutrition trainings given in accordance with their age on a monthly basis and will provide a diet suitable for the trainings. Researchers will compare the nutritional parameters, developmental levels, and height and weight gains of infants fed with the BLW and TCF method to see the effect of complementary feeding education on the nutrition and development of infants and whether there is anemia and obesity risk.
Iron supplementation is a common approach to address iron deficiency with recommendations for women of childbearing age, particularly those at risk of iron deficiency. Because of its considerably higher absorption, ferrous sulphate is the common iron compound used in iron supplements. However, concerns about iron supplements arise from the knowledge that a large portion of the supplement consumed is not absorbed. This unabsorbed iron travels to the colon and, in preclinical studies, has been shown to promote the growth of 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 women of reproductive age 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.
