Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how common undiagnosed iron deficiency is among women with endometriosis, finding that 53.4% had some form of iron deficiency and 13.5% had iron deficiency anemia.
- - It was observed that women with iron deficiency were more likely to experience heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), but a significant portion without HMB were still iron deficient.
- - The findings suggest that iron deficiency is often overlooked in these patients, indicating a need for further research on the potential benefits of iron therapy for improving symptoms and health.
Arsenic is a ubiquitous toxic metalloid causing serious health problems. Speciation analysis of arsenic in human urine provides valuable insights for large-scale epidemiological studies and informs on sources of exposure as well as human metabolism. The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) is a valuable cohort for assessing chronic low-moderate arsenic exposure and health effects in an ethnically diverse US population.

Extracellular vesicle-encapsulated microRNAs (EV-miRNAs) are a novel class of biomarkers that may improve recognition of lung damage in indigenous populations in the United States.
Research Question: Are plasma EV-miRNAs viable biomarkers of respiratory health in American Indian populations?
Study Design And Methods: The Strong Heart Study is a prospective cohort study that enrolled American Indian patients aged 45 to 74 years.
