BACKGROUND Iron deficiency is most commonly found in women of reproductive age and infants worldwide, but the influence of maternal iron deficiency on infant development is underexplored. OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine the relation between maternal iron status and mother-child interactions in a randomized, double-blind, intervention trial conducted in South Africa. DESIGN Women were...

This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of pre-existing iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and the benefits of early colonoscopy in patients with colon cancer, since these have not been clearly established to date. Using the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database, we retrieved and retrospectively reviewed the records of patients aged ≥ 55 years who were diagnosed with c...

Well-known methods for seismic performance assessment, such as incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), multi-stripes (MSA) and the cloud method, involve nonlinear response time-history analyses to characterize relationship between chosen damage measure versus intensity measure. Over past two decades, many authors have proposed simplified procedures or static approaches develop fragility. In these p...

In this paper we argue that researchers in Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA) in Medicine and Pharmacology should consider textual databases as an additional source of knowledge. We describe three areas where medical knowledge extraction from textual databases can be fruitful: finding new applications for existing drugs, evolution of medical knowledge in time, and drug risk assessment. We evaluate...

background: the iron deficiency anemia (ida) is a common cause of referral to medical departments. chronic gastrointestinal (gi) blood loss is important cause of ida and also an alarming sign of serious underlying disease. the information concerning ideal evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with the ida is scant. we designed a prospective study to determine the frequency of gi ...

Introduction: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most prevalent nutritional disorder in the world. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is about 9% in toddlers, 9-11% in adolescent girls and less than 1% in teenage boys. IDA presents when there is not sufficient iron for haemoglobin synthesis. In particular it has negative effects on the behavior, cognitive performance, immune system and phy...

BACKGROUND Seroepidemiological and clinical studies suggest that Helicobacter pylori may cause iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in the absence of peptic lesions by undefined mechanisms, which still remain to be fully elucidated. Gastric acidity and ascorbic acid (AA) promote iron absorption. AA is lowered in the presence of H pylori infection. H pylori can cause atrophic body gastritis with achlor...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore a suitable dose of idarubicin (IDA) combined with cytarabine for the initial induction regimen for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 100 adult patients with de novo AML aged between 14 years and 80 years were enrolled in the current study and randomized into two arms for the initial induction: an IDA 12 mg/m(2) arm and...

conclusions it seems that the preventive effects of rutin against damages caused by ida can be attributed to its ability to reduce apoptosis, which may be mediated by underexpression of caspase3 and overexpression of bcl2 genes. also, it could increase the expression of dazl that may be important in spermatogenesis. methods in the current experimental study, balb/c mice were divided into 8 grou...
