Enterogenous duplication cysts are rare, but recognised, developmental anomalies. Duplications in the midgut are the commonest of these rare anomalies with a high proportion of them being found in the jejunum. Enterolith formation within these duplication cysts is uncommon as is heterotopic mucosa giving rise to peptic ulceration. Mode of presentation depends on whether symptoms due to mass effect or gastrointestinal bleeding predominate. We present a case of iron-deficiency anaemia caused by an enterolith-filled jejunal duplication cyst diagnosed at laparotomy and treated by surgical excision and small bowel resection.

Boosting nutritional value: the role of iron fortification in meat and meat products.

Faculty of Public Health, Poornima University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
Iron deficiency is a widespread nutritional problem affecting millions of people globally, leading to various health issues including anemia. Iron fortification of meat and meat products has emerged as an effective strategy to combat this issue. This review explores the process and benefits of iron fortification, focusing on the types of iron compounds suitable for fortification, such as ferrous sulfate and ferric pyrophosphate, their bioavailability, and their impact on the sensory and nutritional qualities of meat products.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often cause anemia, primarily due to iron deficiency and chronic inflammation. Anemia negatively affects patients' daily functioning and quality of life, causing symptoms including headaches, exhaustion, and dyspnea. In IBD, iron deficiency arises from reduced intake, chronic blood loss, and impaired absorption.

Background: Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), a leading non-governmental organization (NGO), implemented a large-scale Home Fortification (HF) with Micronutrient Powder (MNP) programme from 2013 to 2018 aimed to reduce undernutrition and iron deficiency anemia among children aged below 5 years old. An adequate and timely supply of MNP was crucial for successful implementation of the programme, but very few studies have documented implementers' MNP supply chain experiences. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the barriers and enablers in the MNP supply chain in Bangladesh.

Background: Iron deficiency during pregnancy poses a significant risk to both maternal and foetal health. Current international guidelines provide discrepant advice on antenatal iron supplementation for non-anaemic women.
Objective: We aimed to quantify the benefits and harms of routine antenatal supplementation in non-anaemic women.

Background: Hip and knee arthroplasty remain risk procedures for bleeding complications. The prevalence of preoperative anaemia prior to elective joint replacement is high. There are no standardized guidelines in Germany for the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative anaemia in elective hip and knee arthroplasty.
