Filter by:Many patients that are prescribed iron report gastrointestinal side effects. This research project aims to investigate if the gastrointestinal symptoms of taking iron supplementation are related to changes in gases produced by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
The main objective of this investigator initiated study is to study if preoperative intravenous iron is effective in reducing need for allogenic blood transfusion in patients with gastric cancer who will undergo a standardized gastrectomy including both total and subtotal gastrectomies. The hypothesis is that intravenous iron reduces the need for perioperative blood transfusions.
Diabetic foot ulcer is the commonest cause of severe limb ischemia in diabetes mellitus And development of anemia is an additional burden to the microvascular complications of diabetes
This prospective, randomized, controlled study aims to evaluate the impact of short-term intravenous iron isomaltose anhydride on postoperative recovery and the requirement for allogeneic red blood cells (RBC) transfusion in preoperative Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) patients receiving orthopedic surgery, thus facilitating developing a simple and effective iron supplement approach for patients' recovery.
Iron deficiency anemia is a worldwide medical disorder. So far, it is the most common medical complication in pregnancy specially in developing countries. It is the cause of many adverse effects on mother and fetus and contributes significantly to high maternal mortality. Maternal iron deficiency anemia is frequently associated with premature delivery, low birth weight babies
It is well known than an important part of Nigerian children from the lower social economic class have nutrient deficiencies. Fortified products, such as growing up milks (GUM), may play an important role in reducing the risk and incidence of nutrient deficiencies. However, affordability of GUM is an issue. In this project the effects are studied of different daily intakes of GUM on iron status, growth, several other nutrient status parameters in blood and urine, cognitive development, and the intestinal microbiome in Nigerian toddlers 1-3 years of age. The project is a collaboration with the department of Paediatrics and Child health of the Lagos State University College of Medicine in Lagos. The design is based on a three-arm, open (partly blind: statistics, biochemical analyses), randomized intervention trial. Recruitment will take place in Ijora-Badia community in Apapa-Iganmu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in Lagos. The three groups will be given a multi-micronutrient fortified growing-up milk (PEAK), in amounts of 200, 400 or 600 ml per day during a period of 6 months. Primary objective of this study is to reduce iron deficiency anemia. Based on this objective, in total 150 children have to be included in this study.
To assess the impact of soil iron intake from teff flour on iron status in infants in Debre Zeit, Ethiopia.
The investigators believe that there is an association between H. pylori infection and nutritional status and between H. pylori infection and cognitive development. The current study will examine this association in Israeli children, aged 6-12 years.
The consequences of iron deficiency anemia in women are enormous, and especially in developing countries, as the condition adversely affects both their productive and reproductive capabilities. The study seeks to: 1) compare changes in iron status indicators among women receiving an iron-rich organic food supplement versus ferrous sulfate supplement, and 2) determine the suitable level of food supplement needed to prevent/reduce iron deficiency anemia among women in developing country settings. A double-blind, randomized, controlled, intervention trial will be implemented in women of childbearing age, 60 women with iron deficiency anemia and 60 women with iron deficiency. After screening potential subjects (up to 500 expected), approximately 30 will be recruited into each of four study groups; assuming 30% dropout rate, to detect an increase of 30% in ferritin as significant between the two time points at 80% power and alpha value of 0.05. Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into the four groups consisting of: 2 control groups (daily 60mg ferrous sulfate (FS-60) or daily 10mg ferrous sulfate (FS-10)), and 2 test groups (daily 60mg iron-rich supplement (IRS-60) or 10mg iron-rich supplement (IRS-10)). Subjects will take daily FS-60 and IRS-60 under supervision for 8 weeks while subjects taking FS-10 and IRS-10 will take the supplement under supervision for 12 consecutive weeks.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose in increasing preoperative haemoglobin values in patients with colo-rectal neoplasm and iron deficiency anemia, compared to the standard treatment with oral iron. It will also determine whether intravenous iron sucrose administration improves outcomes such as postoperative haemoglobin values, serum ferritin values, transfusional needs, postoperative complications, or length of hospital stay.
