32 However, maternal HAMP is also known to be raised in inflammatory conditions, and cross-contamination of cord blood with maternal blood is a well-documented phenomenon that cannot be excluded.33, 34, 35, 36 Nonetheless, it would be important to determine if, under certain pathological ...
At endoscopy, antral biopsies were taken for urease test, pathology and culture and blood for analysis of ferritin, transferrin, serum iron, and total iron-binding capacity. Polymorphisms in the IL-1β cluster (positions −511, −31, +3954, ILRN) were determined by PCR-RFLP. Gastric ...
Thiocyanate is a common test for the presence of iron(III) as it forms the blood-red [Fe(SCN)(H2O)5]2+. Like manganese(II), most iron(III) complexes are high-spin, the exceptions being those with ligands that are high in the spectrochemical series such as cyanide. An example of a ...

THE concentration of sugar in the blood during the Staub–Traugott glucose tolerance test is influenced by several factors, including extra-pancreatic mechanisms. The utilization and deposition of the ingested glucose are influenced by the amount of insulin excreted and also by the functions of the ...
Malaria and iron deficiency (ID) are common and interrelated public health problems in African children. Observational data suggest that interrupting malaria transmission reduces the prevalence of ID1. To test the hypothesis that malaria might cause ID,
However,Plasmodiumspp. undergo their asexual lifecycles in the unusual environment of the red blood cell, with very high levels of iron in the form of haemoglobin. In contrast, the ubiquitous pathogenT. gondiiis a generalist and so faces different iron stresses throughout its lifecycle. We were...
Background The Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a test frequently performed on children presenting to the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED), usually for the evaluation of an infectious illness. The CBC also allows for screening for Iron-deficiency Anemia. This study aims to determine the ...
Iron is essential for many biological functions and iron deficiency and overload have major health implications. We performed a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies from Iceland, the UK and Denmark of blood levels of ferritin (N = 246,139), total iron binding capacity (N...
