Article Synopsis
- - Oral iron is the primary treatment for iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy, and a pilot randomized trial was conducted to assess different dosing schedules (daily, every other day, and three times a week) on various outcomes in non-anemic pregnant women.
- - Of the 300 participants, overall adherence to the supplementation was 82.5%, with better adherence in the alternate day and three times a week groups (62% and 61%, respectively) compared to the daily group (47%).
- - Results indicated that the daily iron dosing may help maintain hemoglobin levels better, but many reported side effects overlapped with typical pregnancy symptoms. More extensive trials are needed to confirm the benefits of oral iron supplementation for preventing iron deficiency anemia.
Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease, but it is still severely limited by a lack of suitable organ donors. Kidneys from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors have been used to increase transplant rates, but these organs are susceptible to cold ischemic injury in the storage period before transplantation, the clinical consequence of which is high rates of delayed graft function (DGF). Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is an emerging technique that circulates a warmed, oxygenated red-cell-based perfusate through the kidney to maintain near-physiological conditions.
