BACKGROUND Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide. It is more prevalent when iron requirements are increased during pregnancy and during growth spurts of infancy and adolescence. The last stage in the process of iron depletion is characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin concentration, resulting in iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency, even before it is ...

The present study was intended to explore the possible effect of the repeated dose of the sevoflurane and chloral hydrate anesthesia on the hepatocellular system in the rats. The Sprague Dawley [30 rats] were used for the experimental study, and the rats were randomly divided into following groups; group I: normal control, group II: chloral hydrate and group III: sevoflurane. The biochemical pa...

BACKGROUND Iron, zinc, and calcium can interact with each other in a way that inhibits their respective absorption. On the other hand, mineral fortification has been used to improve simultaneous iron and zinc absorption from food supplements. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the effect of a novel fortificant mixture consisting of NaFeEDTA, zinc methionine, ascorbic acid, and citric acid on iron and zin...

Cobalt sulfate hydrate, gallium arsenide, molybdenum trioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and nickel sulfate heptahydrate were tested in the Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) assay in order to increase the SHE assay database for heavy metals. All five compounds produced significant morphological transformation at one or more doses in a dose-responsive manner. Cobalt sulfate hydrate, gallium arsenide, molybd...

BACKGROUND The objective was to evaluate efficacy and safety of rapid, large-dose intravenous (IV) administration of ferric carboxymaltose compared to oral iron in correcting iron deficiency anemia due to heavy uterine bleeding. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In a randomized, controlled trial, 477 women with anemia, iron deficiency, and heavy uterine bleeding were assigned to receive either IV ferr...

Step 1. We developed a kinetic model for organic matter degradation and methane formation within the gas hydrate stability zone and calibrated this model using pore water and solid phase data measured in marine sediments (MARQUARDT et al., 2010; WALLMANN et al., 2006). The major parameters that we used to calibrate the model are concentrations and depth profiles of dissolved sulfate and ammoniu...

The observed moisture- and temperature dependent transformations of the dapsone (4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone, DDS) 0. 33-hydrate were correlated to its structure and the number and strength of the water-DDS intermolecular interactions. A combination of characterization techniques was used, including thermal analysis (hot-stage microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric...

     In this study a new simple selective and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for determination of Fe(III) is described. It is based on the formation of a colored complex between ferric iron and ethyl maltol, a strong and highly selective ligand for Fe(III). After mixing sample and reagent, and incubating at the room temperature, Fe(III)-ethyl maltol complex was extracted with different ...

Sulfate reduction and the accumulation of reduced sulfur in epilimnetic sediments were studied in lakes in southern Norway, the Adirondack Mountains, and at the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) of northwestern Ontario. In all of the lakes, in addition to the previously known formation of acid volatile sulfur, sulfate reduction also produced substantial quantities of pyrite and organic sulfur compo...

Iron (III) phosphate catalyzed condensation reaction of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and amuniom acetate refluxing ethanol that remains a common theme in current literature.
