Observation Period

Blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract was measured in 13 infants with iron deficiency anemia, using radioiron as a tracer. The radioiron was given intravenously; radioactivity in the erythrocytes and feces was measured for the following 3 to 4 weeks. The percentage of total Fe administered that was recovered in the stools varied between 0.75 and 16.4%, with a mean of 5.75%. This represents loss of whole blood in the stools varying from 7 to 107 ml, with a mean of 41 ml during the observation period. Occult blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract appears to be a significant factor in the development of iron deficiency in early childhood.

Background: The objective of the present study was to compare effect of towel curettage as a new technique, to no curettage in caesarean section on postpartum period duration and hemoglobin level.Methods: Prospective, randomized controlled trial included 403 eligible participants that were attending Elshatby maternity hospital in the duration of this study (2016) and scheduled for primary caesarean section. The patients were randomized into two groups A and B. Group A had towel curettage after manual separation of the placenta, where the decidua and the placental bed were thoroughly curetted by a surgical towel. Group B had manual separation of placenta only.Results: Towel curettage actually shortens the puerperal bleeding days by almost a week and the volume of blood loss by around half a gram/dl, a situation that could be of great concern in the developing countries where iron deficiency anemia can be considered endemic.Conclusions: Suzan towel curettage is a new, simple, cheap methods that deceases duration of puerperium and the amount of useless blood loss post-partum, which may save a good percentage of women from suffering the negative influences of iron deficiency anemia.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of dual lesions detected by Upper and lower GI endoscopies in patients with iron deficiency anemia without obvious blood loss. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medicine, Civil Hospital Karachi from 1st Feb 2015 to 31st July 2015. Methodology: A total 163 patients with Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) for duration of 6 months were registered. Upper and lower GI endoscopies were done in all patients. Outcome variable were the presence of dual lesion identified by gastroenterologist during Upper and lower GI endoscopies. All the results were catered in the pre-approved performa and findings were evaluated by SPSS 17. Results: The average age of the patients was 40.64±11.17 years. Frequency of dual lesions detected by Upper and lower GI endoscopies in patients with iron deficiency anemia without obvious blood loss was observed in 38.65% (63/163) cases. Conclusion: Upper GI tract lesion like gastritis, duodenitis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer were the most common causes of IDA without obvious blood loss. However, Dual lesions were not uncommon, thus both procedures (upper and lower GI endoscopies) were required in most (particularly elderly) patients. This can help to provide shorter hospital stays, reduced medical costs and faster decision making for patient care.
