background: it is clear that helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a spiral bacterium that infects human and causes gastritis and peptic ulcer. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between h .pylori infection and the iron status of the body. methods: this study was conducted in shahid beheshti hospital of babol university of medical sciences, babol, iran from august 2007 to july...

The neisserial fbpABC locus has been proposed to act as an iron-specific ABC transporter system. To confirm this assigned function, we constructed an fbpABC mutant in Neisseria meningitidis by insertional inactivation of fbpABC with a selectable antibiotic marker. The mutant was unable to use iron supplied from human transferrin, human lactoferrin, or iron chelates. However, the use of iron fro...

Introduction: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is commonly a result of colorectal cancer. Higher preoperative haemoglobin (Hb) is associated with an improved post-operative survival. The endpoint of normalising patients Hb is to reduce the need for perioperative blood transfusion which has oncological, safety and economic benefits. Methods: This study aims to compare the overall effect and cost be...

BACKGROUND Iron supplementation is recommended for pregnant women to meet their iron requirement for a healthy pregnancy. The benefits and risks of universal iron supplementation during pregnancy in malaria endemic countries are currently being debated. As part of a broader study that focused on the effect of heme/HO-1 on pregnancy outcomes in malaria in pregnancy, we determined the association...

Haemophilus influenzae can utilize iron-loaded human transferrin as an iron source for growth in vitro. H. influenzae tonB mutants, containing a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene within their tonB genes, could bind iron-charged human transferrin to their cell surfaces, but they were unable to utilize this serum glycoprotein as the sole source of iron for growth in vitro. In contrast, these...

BACKGROUND The clinical need to be able to administer high doses of intravenous iron conveniently as a rapid infusion has been addressed by the recent introduction of ferric carboxymaltose and subsequently iron isomaltoside 1000. Neither requires a test dose. The maximum dose of ferric carboxymaltose is 1000 mg. The maximum dose of iron isomaltoside 1000 is based on 20 mg/kg body weight without...

Abstract Aim Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in patients undergoing colon cancer resection improves outcome defined by length stay, recurrence, and requirement for blood transfusions. Method Retrospective analysis with colonic between January 2018 - August 2019. Anaemia categorised as – Iron Deficiency non- anaemia. IDA was hypochromic microcytic Patient demographics, tumour location, pre-...

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anemia remains a major global health problem. Higher iron demands provide the potential for a targeted preventative approach before anemia develops. The primary study objective was to develop and validate a metric that stratifies recommended dietary iron intake to compensate for patient-specific non-menstrual hemorrhagic losses. The secondary objective was to examine ...
