“…Iron is a vital trace element for most life forms, and plays an important role in human health. Iron contributes to numerous biologic processes such as oxygen transport, DNA biosynthesis, and energy metabolism [ 59 , 60 , 61 ]. However, iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency; it affects about two billion people worldwide [ 62 ].…”

In recent years, the in ovo feeding in fertilized broiler (Gallus gallus) eggs approach was further developed and currently is widely applied in the evaluation process of the effects of functional foods (primarily plant origin compounds) on the functionality of the intestinal brush border membrane, as well as potential prebiotic properties and interactions with the intestinal microbial populations. This review collates the information of potential nutrients and their effects on the mineral absorption, gut development, brush border membrane functionality, and immune system. In addition, the advantages and limitations of the in ovo feeding method in the assessment of potential prebiotic effects of plant origin compounds is discussed.

“…The positive association between obesity and serum ferritin above 30 μg/L in our study might reflect different dietary patterns of obese versus non‐obese young Australian women. High energy intake has been associated with iron repletion in women, and Young et al . reported a tendency for women with a higher energy intake to consume more red meat.…”

“…In addition, unlike earlier studies, we restricted our analysis to women who were not pregnant, breast‐feeding or using hormonal contraception that would suppress ovarian function. Limitations include not having asked women about the use of iron supplements or their dietary patterns, when an association between low haem iron intake and iron insufficiency has been established previously …”

Background: Although serum ferritin is considered a reliable indicator of iron stores, there are few data documenting the prevalence of low ferritin in representative samples of young women.Aims: To estimate the prevalence of low ferritin and to identify factors associated with low ferritin in young Australian women.Methods: Women, aged 18-39 years, living in the eastern states of Australia were recruited by email to a cross-sectional, online questionnaire-based study between November 2016 and July 2017. Participants not pregnant, breast feeding, taking hormonal contraception, using assisted reproduction or postmenopausal were invited to provide a blood sample.Results: Of the 3689 invited participants, 761 (23.1%) provided a sample and 736 women, mean (SD) age 31.7 (AE5.6) years, were included in the analyses. The overall prevalence of serum ferritin <30 μg/L was 34.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 31.4-38.3%), with 41.4% (35.1-48.0%) in NSW, 31.5% (26.4-37.1%) in Victoria and 32.6% (26.8-39.0%) in Queensland. Serum ferritin <30 μg/L was positively associated with the reporting of >2 days of heavy menstrual bleeding (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.73, 95% CI 1.15-2.59), living in New South Wales (AOR 1.57, 95% CI 1.07-2.30), not working outside home (AOR 1.58, 95% CI 1.01-2.49), and inversely associated with never experiencing heavy menses (AOR 0.46, 95% CI 0.23-0.93) and obesity (AOR 0.32, 95% CI 0.21-0.50).Conclusions: This study demonstrates that serum ferritin below 30 μg/L is common amongst young Australian women. Healthcare professionals should note the association between low ferritin and heavy bleeding.Additional supporting information may be found in the online version of this article at the publisher's web-site: Table S1. Comparison of sociodemographic characteristics between women who provided blood and did not provide blood Abstract Background: Lithium-induced neurotoxicity typically occurs with chronic accumulation rather than following acute overdose. There is little emphasis in the literature on the protracted nature of lithium neurotoxicity long after the lithium concentration returns to the therapeutic range.Aims: To characterise lithium neurotoxicity, with a view of increasing awareness of this important phenomenon.Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of patients presenting with lithium-induced neurotoxicity over a 5-year period to a clinical toxicology unit. Patients were identified through the unit's database, and clinical notes were analysed.Results: There were 22 patients, with a median age of 65 (range: 36-89) years. Six patients (27%) had previous lithium toxicity, and nine (41%) were regularly prescribed medications that impair lithium excretion. The median lithium concentration on presentation was 2.2 mmol/L, taking a median of 3 days to return to the therapeutic range. Reversible acute kidney injury was observed in 21 patients (95%) on presentation. The median length of stay was 13 (range: 3-95) days due mostly to delayed neurological recovery. Confusion was the predominant...

“…In addition, for those with a small family breeding (chickens, goats, pigs), these animals were intended for marketing and not for own consumption in families. Most authors have shown that iron with better bioavailability is found in foods of animal origin (Young et al, 2018). According to Engle-Stone et al, (2012) and household size has a very big influence on young children nutritional state.…”

Iron is an essential micronutrient for human health and inadequate intake may result in iron deficiency (ID) or iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). In western region of Cameroon, 39 % of children under 59 months suffering from IDA. To reduce the high prevalence of IDA, the evaluation of nutritional potential of complementary food is very necessary to improve the nutritional status of the young children. The objective of this study is to determine the influence of complementary food composition on prevalence of anemia among young children living in West Cameroon. A food interview survey was carried out among 50 families (25 families with children having Hb ≥ 11 g/dL and 25 families having children with Hb ≤ 11 g/d/L). Ten complementary foods frequently consumed by children were recruited near the families. The amount of food nutrient intake per day was also determined. The data were analyzed using ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05) and the principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA shows that corn meal with vegetables was a dish with high level in iron, fats, dietary fiber and calcium. The complementary food based on corn meal with okra and those based on Irish potatoes with beans and fishes were higher in protein, ash, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and zinc. The other dishes based on irish potatoes, rice, peanuts and corn meal porridge had high levels of carbohydrates. There was no significant difference between the daily iron, protein, calcium, and potassium intakes between anemic and non anemic children. However, food intake of anemic children was low compared with non-anemic children. The daily iron intake of the children ranged between 23.73 % and 42.27 % of their iron requirement daily. Their daily iron was generally poor. Though, most of their foods were of plant source whose nutrients are poorly bioavailable. Therefore, application of improved food processing and storage techniques, good dietary diversification and fortification with intensified nutrition education would reduce iron deficiency anemia in the area.
