This study assessed the prevalence of, and risk factors for, iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among participants of the fifth Korean Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2010. Of 8,958 participants, 6,758 individuals ≥10 yr had sufficient data for the analysis of anemia and iron status. ID was defined as a transferrin saturation <10% or serum ferritin <15 µg/L. The prev...

PURPOSE The increasing prevalence of breast feeding has led to concerns about vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children. We evaluated the prevalence of VDD in a population of Korean children with IDA and assessed the risk factors for VDD in these children. METHODS A total of 79 children who were diagnosed with IDA were prospectively surveyed from April 2010 to Ma...

The over-strength coefficient is one of the key factors for seismic safety a structure. For RC frames, infill wall may improve lateral bearing capacity, while demand increases as well, which leads to unexpected performance an infilled frame in past earthquakes. Therefore, it necessary systematically study effect frames from point capacity and demand. In this paper, 36 structures with/without wa...

Background: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) has been controversially linked to IL-4 production in previous studies. A predominant Th1 response leads to resistance against recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), whereas a Th2 response exacerbates the disease. Objective: To investigate the possible effect of iron deficiency on the host’s susceptibility to RVVC as a result of the Th1/Th2 cytokine ...

Curved damper truss moment frame (CDTMF) system is a novel seismic force-resisting structural which utilizes the curved dampers integrated into semi-rigid to dissipate earthquake input energy. To ensure CDTMF has high performance, state-of art equivalent energy design procedure (EEDP) applied its design. EEDP allows engineers achieve different performance objectives at levels of shaking intensi...

Objective: Iron is an element, which found in the structure of antioxidant enzymes and has important role inactivation reactive oxygen species. Disruption oxidant-antioxidant balance may be playing a pathogenesis iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis (DTDH) serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels are indicators pro-oxidant/antioxidant status. In this study, we a...

The Integrated Data Analysis (IDA) concept allows one to combine data from different experiments to obtain improved results. Heterogeneous and complementary experimental data as well as various kinds of physical prior information are easily integrated employing Bayesian probability theory. The concepts of IDA are compared to the traditional approach for data analysis where sequential analysis a...

Infection with Helicobacter pylori has been associated with Iron deficiency anemia (IDA). We assessed the effect of eradication of H. pylori infection on response to oral iron treatment. Twenty patients with IDA of no obvious cause, unresponsive to oral iron therapy with positive gastric biopsy for H. pyJoril infection received sequential eradication therapy for 10 days followed by oral iron th...

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the final step of floral organ abscission is regulated by INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA): ida mutants fail to abscise floral organs, and plants overexpressing IDA display earlier abscission. We show that five IDA-LIKE (IDL) genes are expressed in different tissues, but plants overexpressing these genes have phenotypes similar to IDA-overexpressing plants, s...

BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is underdiagnosed, and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common presentation of CD. No guidelines exist in the literature for screening for CD among those with IDA in the United States. We surveyed hematologists to deter- mine rates of CD screening in patients with IDA. METHODS A survey was e-mailed to members of the American Society of Hematology. RESULTS The...
