The Treatment of Iron-deficiency Anemia with Intravenous Iron Dextran.

I N THE THERAPY of iron-deficiency anemia, iron given orally is safe, effective, inexpensive, and is usually the treatment of choice, but occasionally when a rapid replenishment of iron stores is desired, administration by the parenteral route is indicated. Heath, Strauss and Castle,1 in 1938, showed that when 16-32 mg. of iron as ferric ammonium citrate is injected subcutaneously or intramuscu...

The Effect of Intra-Articular Injection of Two Anti TNF Drugs on Histopathology and Effect of Local Infusion of these Drugs on Blood Flow of Chronically Inflamed Joints in Rabbit

Background & Aims: The anti TNF drugs are new line treatment for articular inflammatory diseases which are used systemically, but due to expensiveness and some systemic adverse effects have limited usage. The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of intra-articular (local) injection of Etanercept and Infliximab as two anti TNF drugs on histopathology and also due to the important ro...

Effect of intravenous iron dextran on rheumatoid synovitis.

Eleven patients with rheumatoid arthritis received a total dose infusion of iron dextran for anaemia. Two of them had anaphylactic reactions and the remaining nine an exacerbation of synovitis. Quantitative infrared thermal imaging was used to assess the extent and distribution of joint involvement resulting from this therapy. In all eight patients examined the 'thermographic index' increased i...
