OBJECTIVE Malabsorption is one of the causes of iron deficiency anemia in postmenopausal women. The main objective of this study was to access the frequency of malabsorption in iron deficient anemic postmenopausal women. METHODS A total of 123 postmenopausal women were enrolled in the study. Of these 123 women, 50 were included as 'control group' and 73 patients with comparable severity of an...

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...

This study examined the effects of widely used antacids (aluminum hydroxide, magnesium oxide, and calcium carbonate), ferrous sulfate, and ranitidine on the absorption of a fluorinated quinolone, (-)-(S)-9-fluoro-3-methyl-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro- 7H- pyrido-[1,2,3,-de][1,4]benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid hemihydrate (DR-3355), in healthy male volunteers enrolled in three sep...

In 1947 we (1) described a microcolorimetric method, with a range of sensitivity from 10 to 60 y, for the determination of citric acid in small samples of blood and urine. This method was based on the conversion of citric acid to pentabromoacetone and on the subsequent reaction between pentabromoacetone and alcoholic sodium iodide with the development of a yellow color complex. Hydrazine sulfat...

INTRODUCTION The literature has reported the association between lead and auditory effects, based on clinical and experimental studies. However, there is no consensus regarding the effects of lead in the auditory system, or its correlation with the concentration of the metal in the blood. OBJECTIVE To investigate the maturation state of the auditory system, specifically the auditory nerve and...
