46: Iron
نویسنده
چکیده
Iron poisoning has become uncommon. This success may underscore the importance of prevention by interventions gleaned from poison center data and poison prevention advocacy. Blister packaging, smaller dosages, and education of parents and health care professionals have led to a great decline in iron poisoning in the past two decades. Unfortunately, however, significant iron poisonings still occur, and clinician must be aware of the nuances of presentation and diagnosis to optimize iron poisoning management. Clinicians must be vigilant for signs of serious iron poisoning and be ready to intervene if gastrointestinal (GI) toxic effects are followed by acid–base disturbances, altered mental status, or hemodynamic compromise.

Lycopene is common in diet and known for its antioxidant activities. However, the impact of lycopene on iron metabolism is poorly investigated. In this study, we hypothesize that lycopene can prevent iron-mediated oxidative stress, proliferation and autophagy in liver and use a rat model of nutritional iron supplementation to confi rm its intervention in these defence mechanisms. We found that ...
متن کاملHigh Prevalence of Iron Deficiency among Educated Hospital Employees in Switzerland
Iron deficiency is known to cause symptoms such as fatigue, depression and restless legs syndrome resulting in impaired quality of life and working capacity. We sought to examine the iron status of reportedly healthy individuals by a framed study design in 58 highly educated Swiss hospital employees and to compare the use of non invasive tests for assessing iron deficiency (ID). A structured in...
متن کاملMicrobiological oxidation of ferrous iron at low temperatures.
Acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria were enriched from mine water samples with ferrous sulfate as the substrate at incubation temperatures in the range of 4 to 46 degrees C. After several subcultures at each test temperature except 46 degrees C, which was prohibitive to growth, the rates of iron oxidation were determined in batch cultures. The results yielded linear rates in a semilogarithmic s...
متن کاملIron transport: From enterocyte to mitochondria Demir taşınımı: Enterositten mitokondriye
Transport of iron to tissues is of vital importance. Remarkable advances have been made concerning the mechanisms involving iron metabolism after its absorption. Studies assessing cellular and mitochondrial iron metabolism have resulted in interesting findings. This review highlights the recent advances in the mechanisms involving transport and delivery of iron to tissues, cellular and mitochon...
متن کاملIron deficiency anemia.
The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is 2 percent in adult men, 9 to 12 percent in non-Hispanic white women, and nearly 20 percent in black and Mexican-American women. Nine percent of patients older than 65 years with iron deficiency anemia have a gastrointestinal cancer when evaluated. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force currently recommends screening for iron deficiency anemia in preg...
متن کاملNew identified ( 3 H ) 4 d - ( 3 H ) 4 f transitions of Fe ii from UVES spectra of HR 6000 and 46 Aql ⋆
Aims. The analysis of the high-resolution UVES spectra of the CP stars HR 6000 and 46 Aql has revealed the presence of an impressive number of unidentified lines, in particular in the 5000-5400 Å region. Because numerous 4d-4f transitions of Fe ii lie in this spectral range, and because both stars are iron overabundant, we investigated whether the unidentified lines can be due to Fe ii. Methods...
