Certain antenatal micronutrient supplements increased birth weight by 40-70 g in rural Nepal. The effect was estimated by calculating the mean difference in birth weight between control and treatment groups, which assumes a constant treatment effect across the birth weight distribution. By estimating differences (and CI) in birth weight between treatment and control groups as a nonlinear, smoot...

Feeding is indicative of the nutritional status of children, however micronutrient deficiency is common in this age group. We evaluated the impact of inclusion of rice (Ultra Rice(®) (UR(®))) fortified with iron, zinc, thiamin and folic acid on laboratory measurements and the nutrient intake of children. Ninety-nine preschoolers (2-6 years; 42.6% male) from two preschools participated, one of w...

Iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia are common in young children, and there is substantial evidence that iron deficiency has adverse effects on child health and development. Therefore, provision of additional iron to infants and young children who are iron deficient should be a public health priority. Two large trials, coordinated and supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), wer...

This study aimed to improve delivery of lomustine as a chemotherapeutic agent and to increase its uptake by U87-MG cancer cells via synthesizes LN-FA-PG-SPIONs (lomustine loaded polyglycerol coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles conjugated with folic acid). Nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition method and characterized using TEM (transmission microscope), FTIR (Fou...

Iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid deficiencies are among the most common deficiencies occurring after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). The present study evaluates the effectiveness of a specially designed multivitamin supplement (WLS Forte, FitForMe, Rotterdam, the Netherlands) specifically developed for LRYGB patients.A triple-blind, randomized, 12-month study was conducted compa...

BACKGROUND We have proposed the hypothesis that the combination of vitamin A supplementation and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccination may be associated with increased mortality in girls. Recent zinc/folic acid (FA) and iron supplementation trials did not find any beneficial effects on mortality. We reviewed the studies for evidence of a negative interaction between zinc/folic acid/iro...

Anemia during pregnancy is a worldwide problem, Iron deficiency and folate deficiency are considered as the first two causes of nutritional anemia. Many antenatal care program distributed iron and folic acid supplementation to pregnant women's the effectiveness of theses intervention in reducing maternal anemia's still has been in adequate. Some suggest that poor compliance is the probable reas...

Background: Iron-folic acid deficiency is the most common complication during pregnancy. Iron responsible for various health complications among pregnant women. Compliance with IFA supplementation variable across India several factors are associated compliance supplementation. Objective: The objective of this systematic review to assess affecting toward oral iron-folic women in India. Methods: ...
