Role of reactive oxygen species in mediating peripheral hypoxic vasodilation and sympathoexcitation at high altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude acclimatisation increases muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) via activation of the arterial chemoreflex, pulmonary arterial baroreceptors and resetting of the sympathetic vascular baroreflex. However attempting to silence these mechanisms only partially normalises MSNA, implicating other contributory ...

Evaluation of "HemoCue," a new device for determining hemoglobin.

Clinical Chemistry, 1986
Abstract Hemoglobinometry according to the International Committee of Standardization in Hematology (ICSH) suffers from imprecision related to high sample dilution and from potential errors owing to sample turbidity. We have evaluated a new instrument, "HemoCue," that measures hemoglobin at two wavelengths as azide methemoglobin, without

Introducing Antenatal Multiple Micronutrient Supplements: Lessons Learned From Implementation Research in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Madagascar and Tanzania

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficiencies affect two‐thirds of reproductive‐age women globally, with pregnant women in low‐ and middle‐income countries at higher risk due to greater nutritional needs and limited diets. Multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) have shown greater benefits than iron‐folic acid (IFA) during pregnancy, but WHO currently limits ...

Caregiver Screening for Relapse Among Children Recently Recovered From Severe Acute Malnutrition: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Relapse to acute malnutrition after recovery from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is common. However, most programmatic resources are devoted to the acute phase of recovery, and fewer interventions are available for children recently discharged from outpatient nutritional programs.
