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...

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: iron deficiency anemia (ida) is an important health problem all around the world especially in developing countries. in the mediterranean countries another prevelant reason of anemia is thalassemia. certain strategies had been established as a government policy to reduce prevalence in north cyprus, such as pre-marital screening of thalassemia. the prevalence of thalassemia trait has...

We present a simple two-dimensional dynamical system where two nonlinear terms, exerting respectively positive feedback and reversal, compete to create a singularity in finite time decorated by accelerating oscillations. The power law singularity results from the increasing growth rate. The oscillations result from the restoring mechanism. As a function of the order of the nonlinearity of the g...

Recent results concerning the application of Lie transformation group methods to structural mechanics are presented. Focus is placed on the point Lie symmetries and conservation laws inherent to the Bernoulli–Euler and Timoshenko beam theories as well as to the Marguerrevon Kármán equations describing the large deflection of thin elastic shallow shells within the framework of the nonlinear Donn...

PURPOSE Both chronic periodontitis (CP) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) induce oxidative stress in the body and cause an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). This study explored the SOD enzyme activity of saliva and serum in CP patients with and without IDA and analyzed the impact of IDA on CP. METHODS A total of 82 patients were div...
