OBJECTIVE To improve the quality of care provided to patients with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). DESIGN Service development. SETTING District General Hospital. PATIENTS Adults with IDA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Descriptive report of the practicalities and benefits of establishing an IDA clinic. CONCLUSIONS The IDA clinic is a novel service development which enhances the management of pa...

We have cloned and characterized the ida gene that is required for proliferation of imaginal disc cells during Drosophila development. IDA is homologous to APC5, a subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/cyclosome). ida mRNA is detected in most cell types throughout development, but it accumulates to its highest levels during early embryogenesis. A maternal component of IDA is required f...

OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in pregnancy on young child development. METHODS A 2-year follow-up of 850 children born to women who participated in a double-blind cluster randomized controlled trial of prenatal micronutrient supplementation in western rural China. These women were randomly assigned to receive either daily folic acid, iron/folic acid (60 mg ...

Abscission is an active process that enables plants to shed unwanted organs. Because the purpose of the flower is to facilitate pollination, it often is abscised after fertilization. We have identified an Arabidopsis ethylene-sensitive mutant, inflorescence deficient in abscission (ida), in which floral organs remain attached to the plant body after the shedding of mature seeds, even though a f...

Survivin is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family (IAP) that acts in both inhibition of apoptosis and regulation of the cell cycle. Despite the fact that survivin is overexpressed in almost all human malignancies, its expression is undetectable in most normal adult tissues, which is what makes it a potential target for anticancer interventions. The aim of this work was to invest...

inflammation can lead to malabsorption of important micronutrients such as iron. malabsorption and nutritional deficiency can be caused by a variety of pathological and environmental factors causing a range of other symptoms commonly caused by both h. pylori infection and coeliac disease (cd). national guidelines suggest the routine taking of duodenal biopsies to exclude cd when investigating p...

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional anemia and considered a major public health problem worldwide. This cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of IDA among 187 children aged below 15 years from rural areas in Yemen. Clinical data was collected by measuring hemoglobin level (Hb), serum iron (SI), serum ferritin (SF), and total...

Information Dispersal Algorithms (IDAs) have been widely applied to reliable and secure storage and transmission of data files in distributed systems. An IDA is a method that encodes a file F of size L = |F | into n unrecognizable pieces F1, F2, · · · , Fn, each of size L/m (m < n), so that the original file F can be reconstructed from any m pieces. The core of an IDA is the adopted non-systema...

High-accuracy optimization is the key component of time-sensitive applications in computer sciences such as machine learning, and we develop single-GPU Iterative Discrete Approximation Monte Carlo Optimization (IDAMCS) and multi-GPU IDA-MCS in our previous research. However, because of the memory capability constrain of GPUs in a workstation, single-GPU IDA-MCS and multiGPU IDA-MCS may be in lo...
