Abstract Rationale Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease characterized by airway obstruction and accelerated lung function decline. Our understanding of systemic protein biomarkers associated with COPD remains incomplete. Objectives To determine what proteins and pathways...

BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency and anemia have been associated with poor cognition in children, yet the effects of iron supplementation on neurocognition remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine the effects of supplementation with iron on neural indices of habituation using auditory event-related...

BACKGROUND Anemia and iron deficiency have been associated with poor child cognitive development. A key rationale for the prevention of anemia using supplementation with iron has been the benefits to neurodevelopment. However, little causal evidence exists for these gains. OBJECTIVES We aimed to exa...

The water resources of the small basin (85 square miles) were examined before the expected start of large-scale coal mining. Streamflow was intermittent, resulting primarily from snowmelt and rainstorms. Average annual runoff was estimated at 2,500 acre-feet. The 1976 runoff was 2,040 acre-feet. The...

Although reproductive tract infections (RTIs) threaten the health of many women, they continue to be ignored by the research and health professional communities. There has been little research and only a few pilot programs to develop, implement, and evaluate effective strategies to prevent, detect, ...

Purpose Despite advances in oncology regimens and standardization of technical approaches such as total mesorectal excision (TME), local recurrences (LR) remain a significant concern in rectal cancer. This may be due to the complex interplay of genetic mutations driving the disease progression, lead...

INTRODUCTION: Approximately 40% of children aged 6-59 months worldwide are anaemic. Iron-containing multiple micronutrient powders (MNPs) and iron supplements (syrup/drops) are used to combat anaemia in children in different parts of the world. However, evidence for functional benefits of iron suppl...

Micronutrients, especially iron, play a critical role in the developing infant brain. Yet, the causal effects of iron supplementation on neurocognitive functioning in a low-income anemic population of children have not been examined. This study sought to evaluate the effects of supplementation with ...

There are concerns that capillary haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations do not agree with venous Hb, which has implications for global estimates of anaemia largely derived from capillary Hb. In children enrolled in the Benefits and Risks of Iron Supplementation in Children (BRISC) trial, we examined diffe...

The majority of global health studies use behavioural assessments to measure early child development. Few studies have examined neural indices of cognition using electroencephalography (EEG) in low-income settings. Using data from the Benefits and Risks of Iron Supplementation in Children (BRISC) tr...

Introduction The WHO cut-offs to define anaemia among children (haemoglobin, Hb <105 g/L in 6–23 months and <110 g/L in 24–59 months) are based on the distribution of Hb concentrations in a healthy population. Our objective was to identify Hb values that best discriminate functional outcomes a...

Objectives: Hepcidin level may determine individual responses to iron supplementation, but limited evidence exists from pediatric trials. We examined the influence of hepcidin on the effects of supplementation with iron syrup and multiple micronutrient powders (MNPs) on hemoglobin and ferritin conce...

BACKGROUND: Hepcidin can determine individuals' responses to iron supplementation, but limited evidence exists from pediatric trials. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the influence of hepcidin on the effects of supplementation with iron syrup and multiple micronutrient powders (MNPs) on hemoglobin an...
