Iron is an essential element used as supplement in different dosage-forms. Different time and expenditure-consuming methods introduced for detection and determination of elemental ions such as atomic absorption. In this research, two different and routine methods containing ATR-IR and atomic absorption were applied to define the amount of iron in 198 samples containing different concentrations ...

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) increase red blood cell (RBC) production by activating the erythropoietin receptor on erythrocytic progenitor cells. ESAs are approved in the United States and Europe for treating anaemia in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. ESA safety issues include thromboembolic events and there have been concerns about disease progression and/or mortality in ca...

abstract background: cut380a intra uterine device intra uterine device (iud) is used in the health system of iran. the most important and frequent side effects of the iuds are hypermenorrhea and polymenorrhea. in iran, iron supplement are not prescribed for the iud users and there are no documents indicating their iron reservation status. this study was performed to determine the iron status in...

Anemia is seen in pulmonary tuberculosis patients and is associated with deregulation of iron metabolism due to alteration in Acute Phase Proteins mainly C-Reactive Proteins (CRP). Since ginger helps in the regulation of iron metabolism by decreasing CRP. So the present study is designed to assess the effect of ginger supplementation in anemic pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The study was carr...

The importance of copper as a supplement to iron for hemoglobin regeneration in anemic rats was first demonstrated 4 years ago by Hart, Steenbock, Waddell, and Elvehjem (1). This work showed definitely that in the presence of copper, soluble inorganic iron salts can be used directly for hemoglobin formation. Since that time a number of workers have studied factors affecting hemoglobin productio...

Despite efforts to improve iron supplements for iron deficiency anemia, there is no consensus on products that balance efficacy, safety and tolerability, and cost. Ferrous products are effective, but they are associated with more gastrointestinal side effects than ferric products. Ferric products tend to have lower absorption. We present results from a 12-week study that randomized 72 people wi...

BACKGROUND Anaemia in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcome. Unfortunately, in developing countries its prevalence has continued to rise. To improve the situation, iron supplement is routinely prescribed during pregnancy. We therefore examine the impact of the intervention as being currently practised in our clinical setting. METHODS In total, 255 prenatal clinic att...

Many studies have investigated the relation between magnesium and iron intake and diabetes and, separately, between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. However, no known study has examined the direct association of magnesium and iron intake with pancreatic cancer risk. The authors obtained magnesium and iron intake data using food frequency questionnaires from the US male Health Professionals Follo...
