A novel analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans based on multispectral image fusion was used to quantify iron deposits in basal ganglia and microbleeds in 143 nondemented subjects of the generally healthy Lothian Birth Cohort, who were tested for general cognitive ability (intelligence) at mean ages of 11, 70, and 72 years. Possessing more iron deposits at age 72 was significantly as...

INTRODUCTION Intermittent iron-folic acid supplementation (IFA) is currently recommended for pregnant women in populations where anaemia prevalence among pregnant women is <20% or if daily iron is not acceptable. The effect of providing lower doses of antenatal elemental iron through intermittent regimes on longer-term health outcomes in childhood is unclear. METHODS A prospective cohort stud...

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency has been described as the world most common nutritional deficiency and the commonest cause of nutritional anemia in infancy and childhood. The deleterious behavioral and cognitive deficit associated with iron-deficiency anemia could be irreversible. Therefore, the latter should be prevented by early detection of iron deficiency in the non-anemic groups. AIM To deter...

background: no study has been conducted on iron requirements of broiler breeder hens until now. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to determine the iron requirement of broiler breeder hens using nonlinear models. methods: forty eight (cobb 500) broiler breeder hens were individually placed in galvanized wire cages. in order to depletion of hens iron reserved, hens were offered a s...

Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most frequent cause of anaemia (IDA) in women of reproductive age and pregnant women. Recommended cut-off value for anaemia in women of reproductive age is haemoglobin (Hb) <12.0 g/dL and in pregnancy Hb <11.0 g/dL. Serum ferritin <15-20 μg/L is consistent with ID; Hb below cut-off values and ferritin <12-15 μg/L is consistent with IDA. Methods: Literatur...

background endemic goiter is present in most parts of iran. iron deficiency adversely affects the physiology of thyroid. the initial steps of thyroid hormone synthesis are catalyzed by thyroperoxidases and are dependent on iron. in many developing countries, children are at high risk of both goiter and iron deficiency anemia. in addition, iron deficiency may alter central nervous system control...
