Summary: Evaluate the extent to which treatment of iron deficiency anemia beyond 24-34 weeks' gestation of pregnancy with intravenous iron increases hemoglobin compared to oral iron. The investigators will test the hypothesis that pregnant women who are anemic in the second and third trimester are more likely to significantly increase their hemoglobin with intravenous iron as opposed to the usual standard ...
Summary: Efficacy of a preoperative anaemia clinic in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery diagnosed with iron deficieny anaemia
Summary: The aim of this study is to track where the iron goes in different tissues in the hours, days and weeks after an intravenous iron infusion. We will track iron in tissues using MRI relaxometry parameters R1/R2/R2* which are well established as accurate indicators of tissue iron content.
Summary: Iron deficiency is common among patients undergoing TAVI. It is estimated at 54-79%. Previous non-randomized small trial have shown symptomatic benefit in treating iron deficiency in this group of patients. The investigators predict, that as IV iron will improve symptoms, quality of life and exercise tolerance in this group of patients.
Summary: One of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide is iron deficiency. Iron deficiency is considered the main cause of anaemia in developing countries, including those in South America. The most recent surveys report that the prevalence of anaemia is as high as, 40 and 25% in Peru. Populations living at higher altitudes may have higher iron requirements, as body iron is naturally increased ...
Summary: One of the AUB symptoms, heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), can lead to iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia and in acute and severe cases, can necessitate emergency medical care. This study's focus is on the symptom of HMB which has a number of benign causes. The investigative device, the IUB SEAD™, is a novel spherical endometrial ablation device developed to allow for simple, office-based ch...
Summary: This study investigates whether intravenous (IV) iron [Feraheme (ferumoxytol) injection)] is a better treatment than oral iron pills (ferrous sulfate) for correcting anemia in women who have heavy menstrual bleeding and anemia. Investigators will study whether women's blood counts respond better, respond more quickly, and if women prefer the IV treatment or the oral treatment. Women who have heavy...
Summary: Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional problems observed in patients with obesity and after bariatric surgery. From a therapeutic point of view, iron deficiency can lead to iron deficiency anemia. Iron supplementation carries the risk of exacerbating infections, altering the gut microbiome and iron overload. Therefore, it would be beneficial to use iron supplementation only in truly...
Summary: In this phase II trial, the investigators overarching goal is to demonstrate the feasibility and potential benefit of darbepoetin (Darbe) plus slow-release intravenous (IV) iron to decrease transfusions, maintain iron sufficiency and improve the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants. Investigators hypothesize that in infants < 32 completed weeks of gestation, combined treatment with Darbe...
Objective: The hypothesis is that patients with mild to moderate IBD activity on immunosuppressive medication, show the same level of Hb increase after 12 weeks after either oral or iv iron supplementation, while the price of oral iron supplementation is significantly lower.
Summary: This study aims to investigate whether the treatment of non-anemic iron deficiency with intravenous iron sucrose will result in decreased symptom reporting and improved cardiovascular indices in patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
Summary: Daily iron (ferrous sulfate, 2 mg/kg/day) or placebo syrup for first four months (112 days) of the 12-month (336-day) study. Children in the immediate iron group will receive iron syrup for the first three months (84 days) and placebo syrup for the fourth month. Children in the delayed iron group will receive placebo syrup for the first month (28 days) and iron syrup for the second, third, and fou...
