Abstract Background Iron deficiency anemia disrupts the concentration of adolescent girls; reduces their academic achievement, productivity, and physical strength, and increases the risk of infection. This research aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PRECEDE model nutrition education on iron deficiency anemia among female students of Fasa City, Fars Province, Iran. Methods This quasi-experimental study was done on 160 students (80 experimental and 80 control groups) who were selected using a random sampling method in Fasa City, Fars Province, Iran, in 2018–2019. The educational intervention included six sessions based PRECEDE model for 45 or 50 min. A scale of this study consisted of two parts; demographic information, and PRECEDE constructs were used to determine the nutritional behaviors status concluding preventing iron deficiency anemia and hemoglobin, hematocrit, and ferritin blood level in two (before and 4 months after intervention) times. Results In the experimental group of the students the mean age was 13.85 + 1.72 years and in the controlled group was 13.60 + 1.81 years. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the PRECEDE constructs, and nutritional behaviors preventing iron deficiency anemia before the intervention in two groups of study. However, the experimental group showed a significant increase 4 months after the intervention. Also, there was no significant difference in the mean score of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and ferritin blood level between the two groups before the intervention. However, in ferritin level, a significant increase was shown in 4 months after the intervention in the experiential group. Conclusions Based on results, the nutrition intervention education base on PRECEDE model has a positive effect to improve iron deficiency anemia preventive behaviors in female students.

Abstract BackgroundIron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common hematological disease in infancy and childhood. Therefore, it is necessary to provide maternal education using models that identify factors affecting behavior. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of maternal education based on the health belief model (HBM) on preventive behaviors of IDA in children aged 1-6 years in rural health centers of Babol, Mazandaran Province, Iran in 2015.MethodsIn this randomized controlled trial, 119 mothers were selected through multi-stage random sampling and divided into two groups of intervention and control. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability were studied and confirmed. A pretest was conducted in both groups. Need assessment was done according to the pretest results, and educational intervention was performed in four educational sessions in the intervention group. The same questionnaire was applied for posttest three months after the intervention. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the mean scores of awareness, HBM constructs, and performance of the mothers between the two groups before the intervention (P>0.05) while the difference was significant after the intervention (P<0.001). The mean score of performance, increased significantly from 80.84 to 88.68 in the intervention group after the intervention (P<0.001).ConclusionEducational intervention, according to the HBM based on a primary needs assessment effectively improves maternal performance about IDA prevention in children. Therefore, it is suggested that these interventions replace conventional educational programs.Trial registration: This trial has been registered at IRCT, IRCT2014082118892N1.

Detailed Medical History

Introduction: In developing countries like Nepal, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the major concern. The high rate incidence has been related to insufficient  iron  intake, accompanied  by chronic  intestinal  blood  loss  due  to parasitic  and  malarial infections. Therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of IDA in anemic patients of Universal College of Medical Sciences-Teaching Hospital (UCMS-TH), South Western region, Nepal. Material and Method It was a hospital based cross sectional study comprised of 100 anemic patients. Their detailed medical history and lab investigations, focusing on hematological parameters were documented. Peripheral smear examination and serum ferritin estimation were done to observe red cell morphology and iron status respectively.  Results: This study revealed that out of 100 anemic patients, 35% were that of IDA. The most affected age group was 21-40 years with frequency 42.55%. IDA was more common in females (42.85%) than in male (21.62%). Out of 100 anemic patients, microcytic hypochromic anemia was predominant in 47% followed by macrocytic anemia (31%) and then normocytic normochromic anemia (22%). Out of 47 microcytic hypochromic anemic patients, 12 had normal serum ferritin. There was a statistical significant difference in Hb (p=0.011), MCV (p=0.0001), MCH (p=0.0001), MCHC (p=0.0001) and serum ferritin (p=0.0001) among all types of anemia. There was a statistical significant positive correlation of ferritin with Hemoglobin (0.257, p= 0.01), MCV (0.772, p= 0.0001), MCH (0.741, p=0.0001) and MCHC (0.494, p=0.0001).  Conclusion: The peripheral smear in conjunction with serum ferritin estimation needs to be included for susceptible individuals to screen the IDA and other types of anemia.

Background and Objectives. Chronic, severe iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in the first years of life increases the risk of irreversibly compromised cognitive, affective, and motor development. While IDA in infants has decreased because of dietary changes (iron-fortified formula and delaying cow’s milk), toddlers (13-36 months) are equally vulnerable to the adverse effects of IDA. We aimed to show that despite public health efforts, severe IDA remains a problem in toddlers and is associated with excess milk consumption. Methods. Retrospective chart review of children 6 to 36 months admitted to or evaluated by hematology at a children’s hospital from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2010 with a severe microcytic anemia (hemoglobin [Hb] <9 g/dL and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) <75 fL). Results. We identified 68 infants and toddlers with severe IDA; most (84%) were 13 to 36 months old. The mean Hb and MCV were 6.0 g/dL (range = 2.2-8.9 g/dL) and 54.0 fL (range = 45.5-69.8 fL), respectively. Fatigue, poor appetite, and pica were the most common symptoms, found in 43%, 29%, and 22% of patients, respectively. Only 41% of parents reported pale skin while 77% of physicians recorded it on physical exam. Daily cow’s milk consumption surpassed 24 ounces for 47 of 48 children with reported intake; 11 consumed more than 64 ounces per day. Conclusions. Despite current screening recommendations, severe IDA continues to be a problem in toddlers and strongly correlates with excess cow’s milk consumption. This reiterates the importance of screening for IDA into routine toddler care.

Abstract Background: Overweight has become one of the common health concerns. A few studies have noted a possible association between iron-deficiency anemia and overweight. As many as 3crore Indians are overweight, and obesity continues rise, says statistics revealed by the National Family Health Survey (NFHS 2010), Around 20% of school-going children are overweight. Materials and Methods: In this study survey research approach and comparative descriptive design was adopted. The sample size was 300 adolescents. 300 adolescents were selected by convenient sampling technique, out of which 225 were normal weight adolescents and remaining. Among 225 normal weight adolescents 50 adolescents were selected by simple random sampling technique (lottery method) and out of 75 overweight adolescents, 50 overweight adolescents were selected by convenient sampling technique. Initially BMI identified, Talliquis method was used for identifying the anemia. Peripheral smear test used for identifying the iron deficiency anaemia. Results: The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result shows that out of 300 adolescents75 (25%) of adolescents were overweight. Out of 100 children (50+50) 19(38%) were anemic in adolescents with overweight and seven (14%) were anemic in adolescents with normal weight. Out of the total 26 adolescents with anemia (19 -overweight and 7- normal weight) no occurrence of iron deficiency anemia was found. There is no significant difference in occurrence of anemia between overweight and normal weight adolescence. Interpretation and conclusion: The findings of the study indicates that majority of the overweight adolescents were anemic compare to normal-weight adolescents. There is no association between the occurrence of anemia and demographic variables like age, food habits, physical activity, menstrual problems etc.

Abstract Backgroud . The aims of this study were to measure the serum levels of prohepcidin in anemic and non anemic infants and to evaluate the correlation between prohepcidin and iron parameters and inflammatory cytokines. Procedure. One hundred and sixty nine patients aged from 6 months to 24 months were enrolled and divided into 4 groups according to hemoglobin and serum ferritin (SF). Routine hematologic labs, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum prohepcidin, C reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were assessed. The subgroup of anemia of inflammation (AI) was defined as Hb &lt;11 g/dL and SF &gt;50 μg/L, the subgroup of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) as Hb &lt;11 g/dL and SF &lt;12 μg/L, the normal group as Hb ≥11 g/dL and SF ≥12 μg/L, and the unclassified anemia group (UCA) as &lt;11 g/dL and SF 12–50 μg/L. Results. The prohepcidin levels ranged from 38.86 to 874.25 ng/mL throughout all the infants (258.60±130.03 ng/mL) but were significantly lower in the AI group than in the normal group (201.93±71.74 vs 299.97±120.68 ng/mL, P=0.007). However there was no significant difference between anemic subgroups. Prohepcidin levels were positively correlated with CRP (r=0.400, P=0.048) in the AI group and were negatively correlated with sTfR in the UCA group (r=−0.376, P=0.022). However in both groups there were no independent predictors in multiple regression analysis. Conclusions. This study examines the prohepcidin levels in infants with anemia and without anemia. The prohepcidin levels of anemic infants were significantly lower than those of infants without anemia. However there was no correlation between prohepcidin and inflammatory cytokines or iron parameters in the groups of AI and IDA, thus we cannot differentiate between them using prohepcidin levels.

Anemia chronic disease is the second common cause after iron deficiency anemia with hemoglobin levels below the referencevalue. The pathogenesis of anemia should be determined for treatment. Hematinics and or erythropoietin are other treatments besidestransfusion. The transfusion is started when Hb≤7g/dL. The PRC transfusion of 4ml/kg could increase Hb level by 1 g/dL, or 1 unit andcould increase 3–5% of hematocrit. The objective of this study was to know the correlation of PRC unit with delta Hb and erythrocytesin anemia of chronic disease. The 60 samples examined were from patients of the Kariadi Hospital Semarang suffering from anemia ofchronic disease and who were transfused with PRC from January up to March 2014. The study subjects comprised 28 men (46.7%) and32 women (53.3%), with a mean age of 47 years. The number of PRC given was between one (1) to four (4) units. The mean delta Hbwas 3.48 and the mean delta erythrocytes was about 1.03 (0.1 to 2.3). There was a significant correlation between PRC units and deltaHb (r:0.856, p:0.000), as well as delta erythrocytes (r:0.716, p:0.000). Based on this study, it can be concluded that PRC units have avery strong correlation with delta Hb and as well as with delta erythrocytes in patients suffering from anemia of chronic disease

Male contribution towards couple infertility is increasing but is less discussed. We aimed to assess the knowledge about iron deficiency anemia (IDA) as a contributor to male infertility in students at health colleges of Jazan University. A multicentric, cross-sectional survey included 910 participants and 768 participants qualified as per our inclusion criteria. The questions were categorized as: Model 1—knowledge about IDA-induced male infertility; Model 2—knowledge about IDA. The average knowledge of IDA causing male infertility is very low among students. The 18–20 years age group had a lesser score for either knowledge of IDA (M2; p-value = 0.047) or total (p-value < 0.0001) compared to the older group. In addition, female students were significantly more likely to be better in achieving higher total scores (p-value = 0.023) as well as M2 scores (p-value < 0.0001) when compared to the respective male category. On the other hand, males were significantly better in scoring for M1 (p-value = 0.004) compared to females. Awareness about iron deficiency anemia as a factor in male infertility may reduce the infertility burden, arising from a preventable factor, in the Jazan region.
