Filter by:This study explores the relationship between iron deficiency and neurological outcome of extremely premature infants. Premature birth occurs during a critical period of brain development and maturation, and before adequate transfer of iron across the placenta. Nutrition has a significant impact on ultimate outcome of survivors of prematurity. One of the biomarkers of nutrition in the premature infant is iron, and iron supplementation is essential for growth and brain development at low gestational age. As a result, the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends daily oral iron supplementation, of at least 2-4 mg/kg/day from 2 weeks of age, to prevent iron deficiency in extremely premature infants. Nevertheless, studies have shown that even with this regular care dose of iron, started from 2 weeks of age, a significant number of premature infants will still develop iron-deficiency. Our hypothesis states that starting high dose iron supplementation early will improve neurological development and outcome in extremely premature infants (those born at less than 28 weeks gestational age). This study will provide data showing whether individualized iron supplementation using higher doses of iron, started earlier (after the first week of life) when guided by periodic screening of their body's iron status with ferritin levels, will mitigate iron deficiency and promote improved neurodevelopmental outcome in this vulnerable infant population.
The goal of the present study is to provide novel data to evaluate brain iron concentration as a mediator of the association between iron supplementation treatment and improvement in symptoms of ADHD and RLS in children, including PLMS. Twelve participants between the ages of 10 and 15 years will be recruited via Kennedy Krieger Institute's Sleep Disorders Clinic. Eligible participants will be asked to complete, at baseline (pre-iron supplementation treatment) and again at follow-up (post-treatment): 1) a 7 Tesla MRI scan, 2) five consecutive nights of RestEaZe™ monitoring, 3) caregiver-reported (or patient-reported if over the age of 10 years) International Restless Leg Syndrome Scale (IRLSS), and 4) caregiver-reported ADHD Rating Scale-5. The treatment interval will be 3 months.
To estimate the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) in patients with atrial fibrillation
The prevalence of Vascular Cognitive Impairment(VCI) is high in patients after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA) . Effective therapy for the prevention of VCI remains limited. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ferrous iron versus placebo on the prevention of vascular cognitive impairment among patients with ischemic stroke/TIA complicated with Hemoglobin deficiency.
The introduction of a modified perioperative patient blood management protocol with intravenous iron intervention for iron deficiency anaemic patients would reduce the need for allogenic blood transfusion and reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality.
the investigators will compare the response to iron deficiency anemia to lactoferrin plus ferrous poly maltose versus ferrous poly maltose in Children With Chronic Tonsillitis
This study compares weekly versus daily administration of iron for prevention of anemia in 6 months old infants. One third of the infants that are exclusively breast fed will not receive iron, the second third will receive iron weekly and the last third will receive iron daily. Half of the infants that take infant formula will receive iron weekly and the other half will receive iron daily.
INTRODUCTION Exclusively breastfed infants are at risk of iron deficiency. American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends iron supplementation in exclusively breastfed infants beginning at 4 months of age. Uncertainty exists regarding the effects of iron supplementation during infancy on neurodevelopmental outcomes in the absence of anemia. AIM To establish whether psychomotor and mental development is influenced by early iron supplementation in healthy, non-anemic, exclusively or predominantly breastfed infants. METHODS Healthy term newborns will be recruited shortly after birth. If predominantly breastfed (>50% daily feedings) and non-anemic at 4 months, they will be randomized to receive either an iron supplement (approx.1mg/kg/day) or placebo until 9 months of age. Participants will be assessed with use of Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Bayley III) at 12, 24 and 36 months of age.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of muscular exercise on iron metabolism in healthy volunteers. Fourteen healthy male subjects will have to pedal on an ergocycle for 45 minutes, and urine and blood samples will be collected regularly to measure hemojuvelin, hepcidin, iron and transferrin levels.
