SYMPOSIUM PROCEEDINGS I967 disease is furthermore often associated with chronic pancreatic damage. It is therefore interesting to find that patients with cirrhosis often have markedly increased iron absorption and that this can be reduced towards normal on giving the test dose with pancreatin (Callender, 1965). In an attempt to elucidate further the part played by the pancreas in iron absorptio...

Cefdinir, a third-generation oral cephalosporin frequently used in pediatric populations, may cause red stools when administered with iron or products that contain iron, such as infant formula. This benign side effect is not well documented in the medical literature. We describe a 7-month-old girl who was evaluated for red stools while taking cefdinir along with an oral iron supplement.

BACKGROUND For many pregnant Canadian women, usual iron intakes from food appear to be inadequate compared with Dietary Reference Intake requirement estimates. OBJECTIVE Dietary intake modeling was undertaken to determine an amount of iron supplementation that would confer acceptably low prevalence of apparently inadequate and apparently excessive intakes. DESIGN The distribution of usual d...

Understanding potential provocations of haemorrhage is important in a range of clinical settings, and particularly for people with abnormal vasculature. Patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) can report haemorrhage from nasal telangiectasia in real time, and suggested dietary factors may precipitate nosebleeds. To examine further, nosebleed severity, dietary supplement use, ...

To improve the iron status of infants an effort was made to increase the iron content of complementary foods by adding 12.5 mg of elemental iron to the meal in the form of micro-encapsulated ferrous fumarate coated with a lipid. The contents of the packet were sprinkled directly on to infant foods. Relative absorption of iron from this supplement was determined in a prospective randomized study...

conclusions in spite of what the parents believe, iron supplements not only do not cause dental carries but also they have preventive and inhibitory effects on them. furthermore, it is highly recommended that supplements containing both iron and zinc elements should be preferred over supplements containing only iron elements. materials and methods the antimicrobial effects of six different type...

This double blind randomised trial compared the clinical efficacy of Femineral, a proprietary herbal preparation containing highly soluble iron compounds, minerals, and vitamins, with Floradix, the most popular iron supplement in Scandinavia for patients with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). Fifty women of childbearing age and adolescent girls, all diagnosed with IDA, were randomised into two gro...
