the main limiting factors in saline-sodic soils are high amounts of salts, low soil organic matter (som) and lowavailability of macro and micro-nutrients. the effect of different amounts of nano iron oxide powder and urban solidwaste compost coated sulfur (uswcs) on the chemical properties of a saline-sodic soil was investigated. the experimentwas conducted using a randomized complete block des...

I . Iron deficiency was induced in albino rats by a milk-powder diet. Control groups were given milk powder plus an iron source. 2. The haemoglobin content of the blood was determined once each month. When the haemoglobin level fell to 10 g/Ioo ml or less in the deficient animals, determinations were made of the vitamin C content of 24 h urine as well as of liver, kidney, adrenals, brain and bl...

In developing countries, anemia and iron deficiency in early childhood are two highly prevalent public health problems. Providing caregivers with a powder containing multiple vitamins and minerals (also known as micronutrient powder or MNP) as a food supplement is a widely used strategy to combat these problems. However, concerns exist around MNP programs with regards to effectiveness and poten...

Diiron enneacarbonyl, colloidal iron particles used for removing monocytes, enhanced the 3H-thymidine uptake into the mitogen-stimulated human lymphocytes in serum-free medium, whereas neither silica particles, latex particles, carbonyl iron powder nor iron pentacarbonyl did. Because monocytes had no influence on the enhancing effect or diiron enneacarbonyl did not bind to PHA, it was suggested...

objective: oral iron drops are recommended for children aged 6-24 months to prevent iron-deficiency anemia. however, their use is associated with the potential risk of erosion and microhardness reduction of primary teeth enamel due to their high acidity. it seems that the combination of silicone oil, nano-hydroxyapatite and chitosan powder may be able to improve the microhardness and surface st...

it is well-known that severe deformation to metals causes a direct grain refinement of the matrix without special heat-treatments due to the mechanism of dynamic continuous recrystallization (dcr). however, the microstructural revolution during severe deformation is seemed to be different depending on the deformation mode, namely the direction of deformation. in general, multi-directional defor...

Hierarchical porous iron oxide films with different morphologies have for the first time been fabricated through hydrothermal reactions between an iron substrate and iodine powder in water or ethanol, which can be explained by a mechanism analogous to the Kirkendall effect.

A randomized study was conducted to test the efficacy of Moringa powder on iron status and weight gain in women. In an open-labelled randomized trial, 82 moderately anaemic, lactating women, aged 26.7± 6.5 years, received a weekly dose of either 100g of Moringa powder(Moringa group) or 120 mg iron sulphate with 0.5 mg folic acid (Control group). Data from 64 women (33 from Moringa group and 31 ...

Citrus maxima peel is rich in natural phenolic compounds and has a long use in the traditional medicine. HPLC-DAD analysis on Citrus maxima peel powder exhibited the presence of various phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid and (-)-epicatechin. To determine the plausible hepatoprotective activity of Citrus maxima peel powder, we used carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) treated rat model. Liver damage...
