Our results highlight the public health problem of anaemia and iron deficiency during pregnancy in this district of Bangladesh. Iron deficiency was not previously regarded as a significant public health issue in Bangladesh, due to the high levels of iron in groundwater—the main drinking water ...
Gender difference in blood cad mium concentration in the general population: Can it be explained by iron deficiency? J Trace Elem Med Biol 2014;28:322-7.Kim SH, Kim Y, Kim NS, Lee BK. Gender difference in blood cadmium con- centration in the general population: can it be explained ...
Results that do not share a letter are significantly different, P < 0.05. RBC, red blood cells; Hb, hemoglobin; Hct, hematocrit; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red cell distribution width. Parameter ...
Investigators and participants were not blinded to treatment allocation but both were unaware of test results during the study. After randomization, clinical and demographic data were collected and blood was taken on Days −14, −7, as well as immediately pre-infusion, and Days 2, 7, 21 ...
Iron levels can range from extremely low availability approaching 10−12μm in blood (46) to up to 400 μm in the gut (47), as represented by our limited and replete iron medium, respectively. This range in iron availability can have major effects on host-pathogen interactions. Fungal ...
There were outliers in the analyses of NAFLD on ferritin, TSAT, and TIBC when we performed the MR PRESSO test. Therefore, MR estimates were reassessed, and the final results were based on the absence of pleiotropy and heterogeneity. In addition, no other outliers with the “FLASE” direction...
Blood samples collected in the context of clinical evaluation were used to obtain routine analytical data and to make additional determinations relevant to this study, as explained below. The interval between the SARS-CoV-2 PCR test and the first blood collection was less than 6 days for all ...
hemoglobin levels and all cause subsequent parkinsonism risk after corrections of potential confounders (sex, age, household income, education length, employment status, deprivation level, body mass index, physical activity level, household numbers, smoking and drinking levels, health status, blood pressur...
However, hepcidin decrease in the third trimester is much greater suggesting that hepcidin decrease cannot be explained solely by changes in blood volume. 5. Conclusions Hepcidin is a regulator of iron homeostasis and may be a useful biomarker to determine iron bioavailability in pregnancy. Proper ...
Results of the Nutrients 2014, 6 1397 blood tests were sent directly to the research team at the University, and participants remained blinded to blood test results until the completion of the trial. Iron deficiency was defined as having ferritin < 20 µg/L [20] and all other markers ...
