Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Serum copper concentration in newborns with neural tube defects in northern Iran; A case control study [PDF]

, 2009
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the eventual association between copper deficiency in newborns with neural tube defects (NTD) in Northern Iran. A high prevalence of neural tube defects has been reported from this region.

Dialysis and Pregnancy: Optimizing Therapy for Best Maternal and Fetal Outcomes

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pregnancy in women with end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis remains high risk, with significant maternal and fetal complications. While fertility rates are markedly reduced in this population, advances in dialysis care and obstetric management have led to increasing reports of successful pregnancies.

Intrauterine devices and endometrial cancer risk : a pooled analysis of the Epidemiology of Endometrial Cancer Consortium [PDF]

, 2015
Intrauterine devices (IUDs), long-acting and reversible contraceptives, induce a number of immunological and biochemical changes in the uterine environment that could affect endometrial cancer (EC) risk.

Intrauterine deposition of calcium on copper-bearing intrauterine contraceptive devices. [PDF]

BMJ, 1977
Copper-bearing intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) removed after various times in utero were examined by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis of the elements present. As time in utero increased these devices became increasingly calcified. This calcification may limit the release of copper from the devices and decrease the specific

Concealed coexistence: Reproductive choice and coercion in Timor‐Leste

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Choice is a central concept in reproductive rights. However, a discourse of choice in reproductive health can also mask precisely the act it aims to protect against: coercion. Whilst choice has been explored extensively in studies of reproductive rights and justice, understandings of coercion are fragmented and under‐theorized.

Quantifying microvascular responses to local heating using optical coherence tomography: Comparison between skin sites and sex differences

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design, metholodgy, results and conclusions. Abstract Due to a lack of technical capacity to directly visualise and quantify microvessels in the skin, little is known regarding regional and/or sex differences. We compared diameter, velocity, flow and density at four regional sites using a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT ...
