Iron supplements might harm infants who have enough A new study suggests that extra iron for infants who don't need it might delay development -- results that fuel the debate over optimal iron supplement levels and could have huge implications for the baby formula and food industry. view more (2008-05-05)
In early childhood, continuous care by 1 doctor improves delivery of health screenings Children examined by the same doctor during their first six months of life are more likely to receive appropriate preventive health screenings -- for lead poisoning, anemia and tuberculosis -- by age two. view more (2008-03-03)
Teamwork between 2 key proteins necessary for normal development and regulation of red blood cells Virginia Commonwealth University researchers studying hemoglobin genes, mutations of which play a role in genetic blood disorders like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, have identified two proteins that are responsible for regulating overlapping groups of genes during the development of red blood cells. view more (2007-08-07)
Domestic violence associated with chronic malnutrition in women and children in India In a new, large-scale study exploring the link between domestic violence and chronic malnutrition, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have found that Indian mothers and children experiencing multiple incidents of domestic violence in the previous year are more likely to be anemic and underweight. view more (2008-04-24)
Genetic breakdown in Fanconi anemia may have link to HPV-associated cancer A genetic malfunction that causes DNA instability in people with the blood disorder Fanconi anemia may put them at high risk for squamous cell carcinomas linked to human papillomavirus (HPV), according to a study posted online ahead of print by Oncogene. view more (2008-12-04)
Key site in iron metabolism aids in diagnosing anemia of chronic disease University of Utah School of Medicine researchers have developed a new tool that facilitates diagnosis of anemia related to chronic illness, as well as diseases of iron overload. The results of a study detailing the new tool are published in the August 2008 issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press. view more (2008-08-06)
A better screening test for infant iron deficiency? A unique blood test detects iron deficiency in infants earlier and more accurately than the commonly used hemoglobin screening test. view more (2005-08-24)
Does artificial intelligence help clinicians to recognize atrophic gastritis with thyroid disease? The association of ABG with thyroid disorders (TD) was first described about 40 years ago. These older studies assessed the association between Pernicious Anemia (PA) and Thyroiditis on the basis of gastric and or thyroid auto-antibodies. Only recently systematic studies have focused on this frequently overlooked association. view more (2008-02-27)
Network model predicts risk of death in sickle cell disease Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) have developed a method to estimate sickle cell disease severity and predict the risk of death in people with this disease. view more (2007-07-12)
Case Western Reserve researchers discover the key to malaria susceptibility in children A team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have solved the mystery of why some children are more susceptible to malaria infection and anemia. view more (2009-07-28)
New gene associated with Fanconi anemia 'explains' hallmark chromosomal instability Surprising findings from just five patients has led to the first proof of how the rare disorder Fanconi anemia causes chromosomal instability. view more (2005-08-22)

Insights into anemia control in dialysis patients Anemia is one of the most frequent complications of hemodialysis, and its correction is an important factor in restoring a tolerable quality of life to dialysis-dependent patients. view more (2007-07-12)
Folate and B12 may influence cognition in seniors Folate and vitamin B12, two important nutrients for the development of healthy nerves and blood cells, may work together to protect cognitive function among seniors, reports a new epidemiological study from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University (USDA HNRCA). view more (2007-02-12)
Clawed frog helps Fanconi anemia research make leaps A large, clawed frog is helping Oregon Health & Science University researchers gather a princely sum of knowledge on Fanconi anemia, a rare, genetic, cancer-susceptibility syndrome. view more (2006-01-25)
Novel small molecule therapy shows benefit for anemic patients via hydration of red blood cells Researchers are identifying innovative therapeutics for sickle cell anemia that focus on specific factors in the disease's progression, such as the important role of hydration of the red blood cells. view more (2008-02-06)
Community Oncology Explores Pitched Debate Over Anemia-Fighting Drugs The June issue of Elsevier's Community Oncology takes an in-depth look at the charge that ESAs, generally considered vital to cancer patients' quality of life, are overprescribed for profit. view more (2007-06-27)
Mutation in renin gene linked to inherited kidney disease A mutation in a gene that helps regulate high blood pressure is a cause of inherited kidney disease, according to a new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Charles University in Prague and colleagues. view more (2009-08-19)
Red cells count: Study shows pre-op levels affect post-op outcomes Men over 65 with even slightly abnormal red blood cell counts - either too low or too high - are at greater risk of post-operative death or car-diac events following a major non-cardiac surgery. view more (2007-06-13)
Oral liquid hydroxyurea promising for long-term use in babies with sickle cell anemia Treating babies who have sickle cell anemia (SCA) with oral liquid hydroxyurea appears to prevent the onset of long-term complications triggered by this disease, according to results of a preliminary study by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2005-06-16)
