Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common nutritional deficiency syndrome. Lead and cadmium are major hazard elements to humans in industrialized countries. Zinc and copper are essential and play important roles in different physiologic and pathologic conditions. The aim of our study was to determine levels of serum Cu, Zn, Fe, Cd and Pb in IDA patients, and to investigate the relationship betwe...

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a frequent disorder. Also, it may be a sign of underlying serious diseases. Iron deficiency points to an occult or frank bleeding lesion when occurred in men or postmenopausal women. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of endoscopy in patients with IDA and to define predictive factors of gastrointestinal (GI) lesions causing IDA. Ninety-one p...

BACKGROUND Very little is known about the relationship between non-sickle cell anemia and stroke. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) with stroke based on a nationwide coverage database in Taiwan. METHODS The case-control study subjects were obtained from the Taiwanese Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000. We included 51,093 subjects...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of iron deficiency anemia on cognitive function and intelligence in children. METHODS Matched case-control study was carried out with 30 children (aged 6-12 years) with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) but without any chronic disease and with normal neuromotor development. The WISC-R intelligence test was performed before and after 4-6 months of iron/vitamin treat...

IMPORTANCE Vascular events play a big part in the development of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), but only those associated with sickle-cell anemia have been previously associated with SSNHL. This study demonstrates an association between SSNHL and prior iron-deficiency anemia (IDA).OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between IDA and SSNHL using a nationwide population-based databas...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine, using a combination of measures, the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in children under five years-of-age who have sickle cell disease (SCD) and attend the Sickle Cell Clinic (SCU) of the Tropical Medicine Research Institute. MATERIALS AND METHODS Children with homozygous sickle cell anaemia (Hb SS) or doubly heterozygous for Hb S a...
