BACKGROUND In Korea, the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among older infants and young children remains high. To detect IDA early and to reduce its adverse impact, we assessed the characteristics of infants and young children who had IDA or were at risk of developing IDA, or who exhibited characteristics associated with severe anemia. METHODS Among the 1,782 IDA-affected...

In this paper we introduce and study a new class of hybrid automata, Independent Dynamics Hybrid Automata (IDA). IDA are an extension of decidable O-minimal automata in which also identity resets are allowed. We define the conditions under which reachability is decidable over IDA. These conditions involve the satisfiability of first-order formulæ that limit the interval of time we need to consi...

PURPOSE Randomized comparisons of idarubicin (IDA) with daunorubicin (DNR) show that in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), IDA achieves higher remission rates and longer remission durations. In Children's Cancer Group Pilot Study CCG-2941, we assessed toxicity and feasibility of substituting 4 mg of DNR with 1 mg of IDA in intensive-timing daunorubicin-based induction therapy (DNR/DNR) u...

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given to guarantee associativity of algebras and co-algebras. As main application, it is discussed the associativity of the tensor algebra T (V ) of a free module V over any commutative ring R. 1. Review of basic definitions Recall that a vector space A, or more generally a (free) module over a commutative ring R is an R-algebra if a multiplication map mA...

Two antibiotic metabolites were isolated from cultures of Leucoagaricus cameifolia. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The first compound, 7-chloro-4,6-dim ethoxy-l(3 H)-isobenzofurane (1) had to our knowledge not been described from natural sources whereas the second, basidalin (2), is a known metabolite of L. naucina (H. Iinuma et al., 1983). 1 exhibits antibiotic acti...

background: iron deficiency anemia (ida) has been controversially linked to il-4 production in previous studies. a predominant th1 response leads to resistance against recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (rvvc), whereas a th2 response exacerbates the disease. objective: to investigate the possible effect of iron deficiency on the host’s susceptibility to rvvc as a result of the th1/th2 cytokine ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Iron contributes to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Because ICH may occur in the context of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), a common nutritional disorder, the purpose of this study was to determine whether IDA in rats affects brain edema, functional behavior, and changes in brain iron-handling proteins after ICH. METHODS Six-week-old male rats (n=75) we...

The most common hypochrom microcytic anemia are iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia minor (TM). The results of some studies have shown that IDA can cause misdiagnosis of heterozygote β-thalassemia due to decrease in HbA2 level. Our aim in this study was evaluating the effect of IDA on HbA2 levels; Furthermore hematolagic values in CBC of these two diseases will be compared. In this stu...

The cause-effect relationship between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and osteoporosis has not been established in the general population. Thus, the current longitudinal study determined the role of IDA as a risk factor for osteoporosis by analyzing a large nationwide population-based sample. In a sample of 1,000,000 randomly sampled individuals from the 1998-2012 Taiwan National Health Insurance ...

OBJECTIVE We determined the rate of, and predictive factors for, subsequent impaired driving activity (IDA) by injured drivers treated in a Canadian tertiary care emergency department (ED) following a motor vehicle crash (MVC). METHODS We retrospectively identified all drivers injured in a MVC who presented to our tertiary care, urban ED (1999-2003) and had their blood alcohol content (BAC) m...
