Iron deficiency anemia is a frequently occurring clinical disorder. Despite the suggested association with hearing loss in the literature, cochlear sequelae of iron deficiency have yielded conflicting results in experimental studies. Auditory function was tested in iron-deficient and normal male Wistar albino rats using distortion product otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem response audiometry for the clarification of the opposing results in the literature. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron and albumin levels were monitored to verify iron deficiency. Although dramatic differences in weight gain and blood test parameters were noted, no significant change in auditory function due to iron deficiency was detected.

Introduction: This retrospective, observational cohort study investigated the association between treatment of iron deficiency with conception results and pregnancy outcomes in women with infertility and iron deficiency, before and after intravenous ferric carboxymaltose infusion.
Material And Methods: Data were collected from electronic health records from the Dextra Fertility Clinic (Helsinki, Finland) between 2015 and 2020. The cohort included 292 women (<43 years) with infertility and iron deficiency (s-ferritin ≤30 μg/L), treated with a ferric carboxymaltose infusion (Ferinject®, 500 mg i.

One of the most common diseases worldwide is anemia, which is characterized by insufficient erythrocyte production. Numerous complex factors, such as chronic diseases, genetic mutations, and nutritional inadequacies, contribute to this widespread syndrome. This review focuses specifically on anemias caused by defective hepcidin production.

Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the most serious health challenges facing vast sectors of Africa's population particularly resource-poor women and children. Main deficiencies include iron, zinc and vitamin A. Plant breeding has frequently been advocated as the most sustainable strategy of providing varieties of different food crop species with enhanced micronutrient density to combat the global hidden hunger problem which affects more than 2 billion people.

We present a case of a young woman who presented with blurring of vision in her right eye, worsening on near work. Detailed ophthalmic and neurological evaluation was done, which revealed light near dissociation, vermiform iris movements, constriction to diluted pilocarpine with absent deep tendon reflexes. Laboratory investigation indicated mild iron deficiency anemia and reduced vitamin D3 level.

Background: Non-anaemic iron deficiency is highly prevalent in people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but is underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in earlier stages of CKD. A multicentre trial assessing the effect of intravenous iron supplementation in iron-deficiency but not anaemic people with CKD included a qualitative sub-study that aimed to explore the patient experience and psychosocial impact of living with CKD and iron deficiency, and the experience of the therapeutic intervention (intravenous iron and exercise).
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 trial participants blinded to treatment.
