it is well-known that deficiency or over exposure to various elements has noticeable effects on human health. the effect of an element is determined by several characteristics, including absorption, metabolism, and degree of interaction with physiological processes. iron is an essential element for almost all living organisms as it participates in a wide variety of metabolic processes, includin...

Transparent glass frames are often used to exhibit, handle, and store ancient manuscripts (folia or fragments) across museums, libraries, collections. Once the carefully sealed (glazed), process of re-opening frame for analysis glazed manuscript is not always desirable, given their fragile state preservation. Therefore, microimaging with IR UV light sources above a frequently method preliminary...

BACKGROUND Value of serum ferritin (SF) as an iron store index in hemodialysis (HD) patients has been questioned, especially at ranges >or=200. The objective of this study was to determine the variability of SF in patients with high SF (500-1,200.) and low TSAT (<or=25%). METHODS This was a multicenter observational study. Data were obtained from Dialysis Patients' Response to IV Iron with El...

Background: The accurate estimation of iron deficiency is important in planning and implementing interventions. Ferritin is recommended as the primary measure of iron status, but interpretability is challenging in settings with infection and inflammation.Objective: We assessed the relation between ferritin concentrations and inflammation and malaria in preschool children (PSC) (age range: 6-59 ...

Engineering materials that can store electrical energy in structural load paths revolutionize lightweight design across transport modes. Stiff and strong batteries use solid-state electrolytes resilient electrodes separators are generally lacking. Herein, a battery composite with unprecedented multifunctional performance is demonstrated, featuring an density of 24 Wh kg?1 elastic modulus 25 GPa...

during the course of our studies on archaeometallurgy in southeastern iran, we tried to survey the triangle of the sirdjān, neiriz and shahr- e- bābak. as a result, remains of old iron mining residues of smelting furnaces, and iron smelting slag heaps were observed and recorded. a few samples of iron ore and smelting slag have been analysed classically and instrumentally. according to the acq...

Iron deficiency remains the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency worldwide. The consequences for affected individuals and the economic productivity of societies are substantial. Pregnancy (because of the risk of maternal death, preterm labor, low birth weight, and neonatal mortality) and early childhood (because of adverse effects on cognitive, motor, and emotional development that may only ...
