AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness and side effects of two iron supplements, Ferrous sulfate (FS) and Iron polymaltose complex (IPC), in treating iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in 118 children.
- After random assignment, it was found that the group taking Ferrous sulfate had higher hemoglobin levels and experienced fewer side effects compared to the group taking Iron polymaltose complex.
- Overall, the results indicate that Ferrous sulfate may be a more effective option for treating IDA in children, with fewer adverse effects.
Article Abstract
We assessed the clinical response and side effects of Ferrous sulfate (FS) and Iron polymaltose complex (IPC) in 118 children with Iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Subjects were randomized to receive therapy with either oral IPC (Group A, n=59) or oral FS (Group B, n=59); all were given elemental iron in three divided doses of 6 mg/kg/day. One hundred and six children could be followed up; 53 in each group. Children who received ferrous sulfate were having higher hemoglobin level, and less residual complaints as compared to those who had received iron polymaltose complex. Our study suggests ferrous sulfate has a better clinical response and less significant adverse effects during treatment of IDA in children.

Background: Recent biomedical research has shown the unusual, multisystem effects of coronavirus disease 2019 in humans. One specific sequela of a primary severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection is the reactivation of latent viruses in various tissues, such as Epstein-Barr virus. Epstein-Barr virus has been identified in many inflammatory gastrointestinal lesions, such as microscopic gastritides and colitides.

Introduction: Iron overload disrupts gut microbiota and induces ferroptosis, contributing to colitis. However, whether gut microbiota directly drives iron overload-induced colitis and its underlying mechanism remain unclear.
Objectives: The study aimed to explore whether gut microbiota can directly regulate iron overload-induced colitis and its underling mechanism.

The treatment of biodegradable plastics through composting has garnered increasing attention. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Biochar FN1 bacteria and ferrous sulfate on nitrogen retention, greenhouse gas emissions, and degradable plastics during composting and to elucidate their synergistic mechanisms on microbial communities. Compared with the control, applying biochar-loaded FN1 bacteria composites combined with Ferrous sulfate (SGC) markedly accelerated organic matter degradation and reduced cumulative CO and NH emissions.
