A comparative study is presented on the circulatory dynamics of the renal hypertensive state, the stability (repeatability) of the findings in a given subject, the effect of anemia as a complicating factor and the amount of cardiac hypertrophy present in each animal at the end of the series of observations. The results indicate that in nonanemic renal hypertensive dogs with cardiac hypertrophy ...

This study compared social looking and response to novelty in preschool-aged children (47-68 mo) with or without iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Iron status of the participants from a low-income community in New Delhi, India, was based on venous hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, and red cell distribution width. Children's social looking toward adults, affect, and wary or hesitant behavior in r...

In this double-blinded study, 37 women with iron depletion without anemia (age 19-36 yr) were randomly assigned to receive either an iron supplement (135 mg/day) or a placebo. Endurance capacity was assessed during a 15-km simulated time trial (TT) on a cycle ergometer before and after the 8-wk treatment. After the treatment, although the iron-supplemented group did not have shorter time to fin...

BACKGROUND Uncertainty exists regarding the effects of iron supplementation on neurodevelopmental outcomes in the absence of anemia. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate the effects of iron supplementation in nonanemic pregnant women and in nonanemic healthy children aged <3 y on the mental performance and psychomotor development of children. DESIGN In this systematic review, MEDLINE, EM...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was to assess the effect of severe maternal iron-deficiency anemia and nutritional status on cord blood and breast milk iron status. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study over a 6-month period in a teaching hospital in central India. The study population consisted of 55 anemic (hemoglobin: < 110 g/L) and 20 healthy nonanemic (hemoglobin: > ...
