BACK GROUND Anemia in pregnancy is associated with increased rates of maternal and perinatal mortality, premature delivery, low birth weight, and other adverse outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 1405 Iranian pregnant women who delivered during 2015. Blood was collected from all the subjects to measure the hemoglobin (Hb) during 16-19 weeks, 22-24 weeks, and 3...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of maternal IDA on neonatal hemoglobin and iron stores also to assess its correlation with anthropometric characteristics. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at tertiary care hospital for period 18 months. The enrolled total 112 pregnant women who were diagnosed IDA, included babies status variables. Maternal prenatal blood samples, during...

INTRODUCTION Anemia is common nutritional deficiency disorder in pregnant women. It important cause of morbidity and mortality among We evaluated women presenting to UCMS-TH with hemoglobin level less than 9 gm/dl reference maternal fetal outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total 255 moderate severe anemia at our hospital were evaluated. Demographic profile patients, outcomes RESULTS Most patients from...

OBJECTIVE By applying receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the objective of this study was to see whether hemoglobin levels reflect body iron stores in a group of pregnant women at term who, by using serum ferritin as the reference test, had a high pre-test probability of having iron deficiency anemia. Likewise, we evaluated the ability of hemoglobin and maternal serum ferritin lev...

Purpose To generate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-derived, oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curves and to map fetal-placental oxygen-hemoglobin affinity in pregnant mice noninvasively by combining blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) T2* and oxygen-weighted T1 contrast mechanisms under different respiration challenges. Materials and Methods All procedures were approved by the Weizmann Institutio...

BACKGROUND Over half of all women in the world experience anemia during their pregnancy. Our aim was to investigate the relation between hemoglobin and iron status examined in second trimester and pregnancy outcome. METHODS In a prospective longitudinal study, 382 pregnant women were included. Blood samples were examined for hematological status and serum ferritin between 16 and 20 weeks and ...

Anaemia is the most common manageable problem among pregnant women worldwide, which contribute to maternal and perinatal mortality. The aim compare efficacy, safety compliance of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose with iron sucrose in treatment deficiency anaemia pregnancy. It a randomized prospective study conducted department obstetrics Gynecology at Shri Sathya Sai Medical College, constituti...

For the quantitation of hemoglobin S, a radioimm unoassay has been developed which is specific and highly sensitive. Hemoglobin S was purified by column chromatography and injected with complete Freund’s adjuvant into goats. Each goat serum was tested for reactivity against hemoglobins A and S by immunodiffusion and by quantitative precipitation. Hemoglobin A reactivity was removed by absorptio...
