Unusual Colonic Iron Deposition Following Prophylactic Supplementation in an Infant: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Iron plays a vital role in physiological functions, and its deposition is typically limited to reticuloendothelial tissues in the presence of excess levels. We report a rare case of colonic iron deposition in a 13‐month‐old child without iron overload or toxicity. Despite a normal serum iron profile and administration of only prophylactic iron

Fast ramp humidity protocols systematically underestimate human heat tolerance by failing to match physiological equilibration timescales. Prolonged fixed‐condition exposures reveal substantially higher sustainable wet‐bulb limits, supporting their use as the gold standard and motivating slower, equilibration‐based ramp designs for accurate heat risk ...

Reconstructable main clause functions of Proto-Bantu applicative * -ɪd
This chapter presents evidence in favour of reconstructing at least three main clause-level functions of the Proto-Bantu (PB) applicative *-ɪd: (i) the introduction of a semantic role which cannot be expressed otherwise with an underived verb root; (ii) the focalisation of a constituent with a Location-related semantic role (most commonly General ...
