OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose, compared with oral ferrous sulfate in women with postpartum anemia. STUDY DESIGN In a multicenter, randomized, controlled study, 291 women less than 10 days after delivery with hemoglobin 10 g/dL or less were randomized to receive ferric carboxymaltose (n = 143) 10...

R ECENTLY a new reagent was proposed for the determination of cholesterol (1, 2). This reagent was purported to be saturated ferrous sulfate in glacial acetic acid. Since it has been reported that ferrous sulfate is qualitatively insoluble in anhydrous acetic acid (3, 4) and that ferrous iron is “subject to pronounced air oxidation in glacial acetic acid” (5), it was felt that several factors s...

the textile industry has long been one of the largest of water users and nolluters and there has been little success in developing low cost treatment methods , which the industry urgently needs to lessen the pollution loads it discharges to streams. the obiective of this preparatory study was to determinen the effects o f coagulants and aid coagulant s as alum, ferrous sulfate , ferric sulfate ...

The Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Exploration Rover, and Mars Express missions have stimulated considerable thinking about the surficial geochemical evolution of Mars. Among the major recent mission findings are the presence of jarosite (a ferric sulfate salt), which requires formation from an acid-sulfate brine, and the occurrence of hematite and goethite on Mars. Recent ferric iron models have l...

Background: Entry of untreated wastewater of wool scouring factories has been associated with many environmental hazards because of high rate of pollution. Presently effective treatment methods and reducing the costs of operation and maintenance from treatment units have always been under the attention of this industry owners. The aim of this survey is to present a suitable method for the treat...

BACKGROUND There is a need to determine whether iron absorption from iron amino acid chelates is protected from inhibition by dietary phytate and regulated normally by iron status. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare iron absorption from ferrous sulfate, ferrous bisglycinate, and ferric trisglycinate in whole-maize meal; to determine whether iron from ferrous bisglycinate and...

the oxidation of ferrous iron (fe2+) in solution using acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has industrial applications exclusively in the regeneration of ferric iron (fe3+) as an oxidizing agent for the removal of hydrogen sulfide from waste gases, desulfurization of coal, leaching of non-ferrous metallic sulfides and treatment of acid mine drainage. the aim of this investigation was to increase the...

Iron release from human and rat transferrin was studied using a system in which the release mediated by 2,3diphosphoglycerate in the presence of desferrioxamine was measured by the change in absorbance at 295 nm. With both proteins iron release could be resolved into two components that represented release from the two iron binding sites at markedly different rates. The rates of iron release we...

Biohydrogen production from synthesis gas (syngas) was investigated using a local bacterium isolated from anaerobic sludge of dairy wastewater. The isolated strain Rhodopseudomonas palustris PT was able to convert syngas to hydrogen through water shift gas (WGS) reaction. The aim of present study was to determine the optimum concentration of ferric citrate which avoids the cell growth inhibitio...
