Background: Excessive hair shedding among child-bearing women has been linked to low iron store. Despite this, multi-studies looked at this connection have yield inconsistent results.ferritinAim: To compare hemoglobin and ferritin level of childbearing with telogen effluvium those in otherwise good health. evaluate the link between store amount shed.Patients Methods: The case-controlled study i...

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children with several complications. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of adding ferrous sulfate to methylphenidate in decreasing ADHD symptoms. This study was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial. In this study, 42 nonanemic children with ADHD and serum ferritin below 30 mg/...

The present study investigates the effect of iron supplementation on measures of school performance among 78 iron-deficient anemic and 41 nonanemic children in an economically deprived rural area in Central Java, Indonesia. All the subjects were treated forancylostomiasis before iron supplementation. They were randomly assigned to either an iron or placebo group. Hematological and behavioral me...

In this paper, we discuss the historical and current perspectives on women in computer science and the recent downward trend of women's participation in this field We then present results from a survey that asked respondents their views on why women's participation in the field of computing is decreasing, what we can do to reverse this trend, and what they predict the future holds for women in ...

The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of a vertical version of horizontally oriented three Appraisal of Violent Situation scales that elicit women's subjective appraisals of severity, dangerousness, and controllability of violence. Construct validity of the vertical scale eliciting 64 abused women's perceptions of severity of violence experienced was supported by a l...

Aim To determine the prevalence of anemia and its association with disease severity in children and adolescents with IBD. Methods CEDATA-GPGE is a registry for pediatric patients with IBD in Germany and Austria from 90 specialized centers. As markers of disease severity, analysis included patient self-assessment on a Likert scale (1-5; 1 = very good) and physicians' general assessment (0 = no...

The dominant white spotting, W, locus in the mouse encodes Kit, a receptor molecule with cytosolic tyrosine kinase activity. Mutations in Kit deplete hematopoietic cells by an as yet unknown mechanism, but one that presumably affects the early progenitors of all cell lineages. To examine cell lineage-specific changes caused by different W mutations, we injected genetically marked normal marrow ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigates the nutritional factors that determine the absence of anemia in infants from families with a low socioeconomic background submitted to a nutrition intervention program, as well as iron intake according to recommendations. METHODS The study included 369 children from a cohort of inhabitants of São Leopoldo, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, who were randomiz...

This investigation is concerned with the kinetics of the reciprocal relationship between sheep hemoglobin (Hb) A and Hb C formation in response to anemia. The relative synthesis of the hemoglobin types was assessed at various times in bone marrow erythroid cells incubated in vitro with (59)Fe. The changeover from Hb A to Hb C formation lagged by about 3 days behind the development of anemia and...
