background endemic goiter is present in most parts of iran. iron deficiency adversely affects the physiology of thyroid. the initial steps of thyroid hormone synthesis are catalyzed by thyroperoxidases and are dependent on iron. in many developing countries, children are at high risk of both goiter and iron deficiency anemia. in addition, iron deficiency may alter central nervous system control...

This study is investigating the buffering of extremely acidic mining lakes in the Lusatian open cast lignite mining area and treatment options for these lakes through mesocosm experiments. First results concerning the different buffering systems in the lakes will be shown and discussed. In acidic lakes with similar pH and from the same mining area, the strength of the buffering system can be ve...

Cefdinir, a third-generation oral cephalosporin frequently used in pediatric populations, may cause red stools when administered with iron or products that contain iron, such as infant formula. This benign side effect is not well documented in the medical literature. We describe a 7-month-old girl who was evaluated for red stools while taking cefdinir along with an oral iron supplement.

A 37-year old woman was referred to our clinic with severe iron-deficiency anemia which failed to respond to iron replacement therapy. Continued blood loss and compliance problems were excluded. Since the patient reported a daily intake of two liters of black tea, it was suspected that the tea had adverse effects on intestinal iron absorption. When the patient stopped drinking black tea her bod...

BACKGROUND In humans, early ID (iron deficiency) may cause impairment of dopamine (DA) metabolism including DA clearance, transporter density, and dopamine receptor (D1 and D2) densities. PURPOSE The present study aims to examine the effects of early ID on the catecholaminergic system within certain brain areas related to attention. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 2 groups; co...

Background Frequent blood transfusion is often associated with iron overload. Proper use of iron chelators to treat iron overload requires an accurate measurement of iron levels. Magnetic resonance T2-star (T2* MRI) can measure iron level in the heart and liver. Our goal was to see whether an association exists between serum ferritin level and T2* MRI in patients with major beta thalassemia. ...
