Whether being overweight or obese is associated with increased risk of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains controversial. We evaluated the dietary intakes and risk for IDA in relation to body mass index (BMI). One thousand two hundred and seventy-four females aged ≥ 19 years, enrolled in the third Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT) 2005-2008, were selected. Half of the women were e...

The mega-sub controlled structure system with laminate rubber bearings is an emerging seismic control for high-rise buildings. high-order statically indeterminate numerous failure modes. To study the modes of structural and further improve its performance, dynamic equations finite element model were established. Ten different ground motions selected from Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research ...

OBJECTIVE To diagnose and differentiate iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) from anaemia of chronic disorders (ACD) using serum concentration of soluble transferrin receptors (sTfR). METHODS One hundred and seventy six adult anaemic patients were diagnosed on bone marrow examination as IDA and ACD in the Department of Haematology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi from November 2001 t...

It is well-known that the search algorithms A* and Iterative Deepening (IDA*) can fail to solve state-space tasks optimally due time memory limits. The former typically fails in memory-restricted scenarios latter time-restricted scenarios. Therefore, several were proposed using less than IDA*, such as A*+IDA*, a hybrid algorithm combines IDA*. In this paper, we present Partial Expansion (PEA*) ...

We re-evaluated the old hypothesis that gastritis-induced achlorhydria is a cause of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in humans. First, we analyzed the currently available research on the association between achlorhydria and IDA. When gastric acid secretion was measured after maximal stimulation, the frequency of achlorhydria (or severe hypochlorhydria) was 44% in patients with idiopathic IDA and 1...

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 14 adult male patients admitted to the hospital with complications of intravenous drug abuse (IDA) were examined for natural killer (NK) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxic (ADCC) activities, lectin-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and interferon (IFN)- and interleukin 2 (IL-2)-induced NK activity. Serum was also assayed for circulating interferon levels ...

We evaluated the usefulness of RET-Y and RBC-Y in distinguishing functional iron deficiency from iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) in patients with anaemia of inflammation (AI). Sixty healthy blood donors constituted the control group. We studied RET-Y and RBC-Y in 115 patients with hypochromic/microcytic anaemia. Of these 42 patients had uncomplicated IDA and 73 had AI. The AI patients were furthe...
