serum iron and total iron binding capacity anti percentage saturation were measured in 100 apparently normal individuals (50 men and 50 women) , the ages of the men were from ?2• 50 and of the women from 19-30, average serum iron in men was i33amgjloo ml and in women 112.5mg/ 100 ml, the average values for total iron binding ca paci ty were 306,?mg/ for men and ?90mg/ 100 rnl, for women, percen...

The most significant assumptions in the subdomain technique (i.e., based on the formal resolution of Maxwell’s equations applied in subdomain) is defined by: “The iron parts (i.e., the teeth and the back-iron) are considered to be infinitely permeable, i.e., μiron → +∞, so that the saturation effect is neglected”. In this paper, the author presents a new scientific contribution on improving of ...

Four methods are recommended for assessment of iodine nutrition: urinary iodine concentration, the goitre rate, and blood concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroglobulin. These indicators are complementary, in that urinary iodine is a sensitive indicator of recent iodine intake (days) and thyroglobulin shows an intermediate response (weeks to months), whereas changes in the goit...

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an inflammatory condition of the liver that has a multitude of clinical presentations from chronic hepatitis to acute fulminant hepatitis. AIH diagnosis is typically suspected after ruling out other causes of hepatitis (such as vial hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, and primary biliary cirrhosis) through serological tests and by findings of high titers ...

The relationship of iron status with cognition and dementia risk in older people is contentious. We have examined the longitudinal relationship between serum ferritin and cognition in 800 community-dwelling Australians 60 years or older. Iron studies (serum iron, transferrin saturation, serum ferritin) were performed in 1994/5 and 2003/4 and clinical and cognitive assessments were conducted in ...

In this paper we present a method for determining the iron saturation of ferritin as a possible independent predictor of iron stores. Serum ferritin was purified by immunochemical precipitation, and could be completely recovered from serum without any contamination from transferrin. The iron content of the precipitated ferritin was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FA...

We report our observations on day-to-day variation in serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, and percent saturation of binding proteins with iron in 13 ostensibly healthy subjects during five weeks. The average intrasubject coefficients of variation were 14.5, 28.5, 4.8, and 28.0%, respectively. Precision studies on control samples showed greater within-assay and between-assay...

Magnetic nanocapsules were synthesized for controlled drug release, magnetically assisted delivery, and MRI imaging. These magnetic nanocapsules, consisting of a stable iron nanocore and a mesoporous silica shell, were synthesized by controlled encapsulation of ellipsoidal hematite in silica, partial etching of the hematite core in acid, and reduction of the core by hydrogen. The iron core prov...

AIMS Excess iron has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications. This study documents the assessment of plasma iron indices and the correlation between transferrin saturation with biochemical and clinical parameters in a cross-sectional survey of 820 patients with diabetes in long-term follow-up in a single clinic. METHODS Plasma iron indices, together with the bioc...
