SENSORY NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY IN SUBJECTS WITH IRON-DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA

Sensory nerve conduction velocity is greater in left handed persons.

Dependence of nerve conduction velocity on factors like age, sex and temperature is well known. Effect of handedness on nerve conduction velocity has not been studied adequately. In this study correlation between handedness and motor as well as sensory conduction velocity of right as well as left median nerve was studied in 84 medical students in the age group between 17-21 years out of which 7...

Iron deficiency anaemia with hypoproteinaemia.

Forty two children were admitted to this hospital between 1975 and 1980 with severe iron deficiency anaemia and 8 of them also had oedema caused by a low concentration of serum proteins. These 8 patients, aged 8-24 months, and 13 age matched controls were investigated. The patients had excessive faecal loss of 59FeCl or 51Cr-albumin, or both; their jejunal biopsy specimens showed little decreas...

The responses of serum transferrin receptors to iron supplements in subjects with iron-deficiency erythropoiesis and iron-deficiency anaemia.

We aimed to study the response of serum transferrin receptors (sTfR) to Fe supplementation in women of childbearing age with Fe-deficiency erythropoiesis (IDE) and Fe-deficiency anaemia (IDA). Primary screening was performed in 942 women ranging in age from 18 to 45 years. After Fe-related biochemical indices such as serum ferritin, Zn protoporphyrin and Hb were determined, the subjects were di...
