Fifty seven consecutive patients, all less than 18 weeks pregnant and attending the antenatal clinic for the first time, were treated with .Fefol Spansule’ (Ferrous Sulphate+ Folic Acid timed-release) Capsules. Seven patients failed to attend the subsequent follow-up clinic appointments. The remaining fifty patients showed a mean rise in haemoglobin of 0.7g/l00ml and 1 .4g/l00ml at 23-30 weeks ...

A clinical trial was conducted in Cameroon in order to evaluate in humans the possible effect of a single dose of ivermectin (150 micrograms per kg) on the pre-adult stages of Onchocerca volvulus. The incidence of the skin microfilariae was measured in two groups of patients who initially had negative biopsies, and who were subsequently treated, immediately after the seasonal peak of transmissi...

Buffalo's milk was fortified with different sources of iron and zinc salts to manufacture of Domiati cheese. It was fortified with ferrous chloride, ferrous sulphate, zinc sulphate and zinc acetate at levels of 40, 60 and 120 mg Fe or Zn/kg milk. All fresh and stored samples (30 and 90 days) of Domiati cheese were analyzed for pH, acidity moisture, TN, SN, fat, lactose, ash and TBA number. No o...

Background: The high prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy has serious adverse consequences both mother and baby. Management should be given great importance obstetric practice.The study was undertaken to compare the efficacy oral iron (ferrous sulphate) intravenous sucrose complex management moderate pregnancy. Method: A randomized comparative hospital–based longitudinal analysis conducted Depart...

It has been reported in literature that Z. mobilis has two types of alcohol dehydrogenase gene (ADH), one is Zinc inducible, and another is Iron (Ferrous) inducible. Therefore, it was attempted to increase the alcohol production by inducing the alcohol dehydrogenase activity by addition of Zinc ions. It was standardized that 10 mM Zinc sulphate addition to alcohol producing broth resulted in ma...

Yeasts can be enriched with microelements, including iron; however, special physicochemical conditions are required to formulate a culture media that promotes both yeast growth and iron uptake. Different iron sources do not affect biomass formation; however, considering efficacy, cost, stability, and compatibility with Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism, ferrous sulphate is recommended.

Histopathological effect of acute concentrations of heavy metals such as copper, ferroussulphate were studied. Results revealed extensive histopathological abnormalities in the internal structure of gill and brain of Catlacatla exposed to copper and ferrous sulphate in contrast to that of control fish, showing the severity of heavy metal toxicity.

The paper presents the investigations on absorbability of ferri/ferrous impurities found in commercial grade sodium sulphide. The later product is unsuitable for the manufacture of pharmaceutical grade chemicals and dyes chemicals.The author have carried out experiments on the use of precipated barium sulphate as an adsorbent in different propotions in the aqueous solution of commercial grade s...
