Iron Deficiency Anemia: Etiology, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment Approaches

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common health problem that affects about 1.24 billion people around the world, mostly children and women of childbearing age. IDA happens when the body doesn't get enough iron, loses too much iron, or can't absorb it properly. This makes erythropoiesis, cellular metabolism, and immune function worse. The World Health Organization says that 40% of women who are pregnant and 32.5% of women who are not pregnant have anemia. People with IDA often feel tired, weak, pale, and have trouble thinking clearly. Lab tests, such as hemoglobin, blood ferritin, and transferrin saturation, are used to make the diagnosis. You can treat the condition in two ways: by taking iron supplements by mouth, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, and ferrous fumarate; or, for serious cases, by giving iron through an IV. Strategies for prevention depend on increasing the amount of iron you get from food, making it more bioavailable, and keeping infections under control. Food addition and fortification programs have been shown to help lower the number of people with IDA. However, problems still exist, especially in areas with poor economies. Recent advance in acknowledging how iron is used and controlled has implications for creating targeted therapeutic approaches. A key regulator of iron balance, hepcidin, is a key player in the pathophysiology of IDA. This review shows how complicated IDA is and how important it is to have treatment plans that consider underlying causes, dietary factors, and socioeconomic factors.

The results of the chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.045. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between diet and obesity in elementary school children of Negeri 104 Palembang.

ANALISIS CLUSTERING STUNTING DENGAN DISTANCE EUCLID

Entering the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0, human resources must be supported by healthy and intelligent human resources so that they can increase competitiveness. The world still faces the problem of hunger and malnutrition today. According to a Unicef report, many people suffer from malnutrition in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that malnutrition is a dangerous threat to the health of the world's population. Stunting also has an impact in Indonesia, the prevalence of toddlers experiencing stunting in Indonesia is 24.4% in 2021. The solution created is to classify and cluster stunting so as to produce patterns that can be used as best practice to be transmitted to other affected areas. The algorithm used is Euclid, the Euclid algorithm is able to cluster stunting prevalence data into 3 clusters with a little category of 66%, a medium category of 28%, a lot of category of 6%. The results of the classification and clustering of the best stunting prevalence in cluster two with a small number, can be used as a source of accurate and updated information that can be used by the government in its efforts to optimize stunting handling in each district/city based on artificial intelligence which can provide patterns for handling and optimizing stunting. in each district/city. Malnutrition is estimated to be the main cause of 3.1 million child deaths every year. Therefore, efforts need to be made to minimize stunting by predicting stunting sufferers. The prediction results can be used as an early prevention effort.

HUMAN ORGAN TRAFFICKING AND TRANSPLANTATION: A LEGAL ANALYSIS OF CAUSES, CHALLENGES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EXISTING LAWS IN PAKISTAN

Organ transplant save many lives every year throughout the world. But at the same time lives of donors are in danger because of illegal organ trade which is common in third world countries. People from all over the world especially from developed countries including Europe, Australia, and United States come to developing countries including Pakistan, India, and other developing countries every year. They used to hunt poor donors who are all set to sell off their healthy organs in return of money. Recent repot of World Health Organization (WHO) says that annually almost ten percent kidney transplants of the overall kidney transplants that happen in the world involve donors from the above mentioned developing countries. Current research is based on laws which can overcome this alarming situation and also highlights the issues regarding implementation of existing laws and policies. Transplant of Human Organ and Tissue Act 2010 is a relevant law which provides removal, storage and transplantation for therapeutic purposes. This research is of qualitative and exploratory nature. It is such as to find out the most relevant information for the topic and made evaluation using tools to take out research through articles, books, case studies and online materials. This research critically evaluates the laws which are related to organ trade in Pakistan. Primary source of research is relevant laws and their critical evaluation and secondary source of this research is journals and articles of relevant topic. This research concludes that Organ trafficking is one of the most common illegal activities in the world and particularly in Pakistan. In the last few decades, there have been a number of transnational issues. The most highlighted causes are poverty, exploitation of minors, and lack of viable organs. However, the root cause for the current scenario is the lack of proper legislation regarding illegal organ trade and the implementation of existing laws.

Long-Term Trends in Gas-Particle Partitioning of Reduced Reactive Nitrogen Species, as Analyzed by Annular Denuders and Ion Chromatography

Reduced reactive nitrogen species, which primarily consist of ammonia and low-mass amines, occur in the gas-phase and the particle-phase of the atmosphere. Despite being present at trace concentrations, these species can have severe effects on eutrophication, biodiversity, human pulmonary and cardiac health, and deposition. Long-term sampling of these species is infrequent, and such sampling that has taken place is focused around agricultural sources rather than urban environments. A greater understanding of the gas-particle partitioning of these species elucidates our understanding of the roles they play in the aforementioned environmental effects. I adapted the EPA’s procedure for the sampling of ambient air using annular denuders and performed troubleshooting techniques on an ion chromatograph to develop a method to collect and analyze reduced nitrogen species; with this method, phases can be examined separately, thus allowing for a greater understanding of the magnitude of each risk associated with the gas and particle-phases rather than conflating the total concentration together. Method development is a crucial step in initiating long-term sampling, because consistency is the foundation of accuracy. I began preliminary ambient sampling with a focus on ensuring the procedure works and exploring potential trends. While further sampling over the course of years will be necessary to confirm trends, some trends are beginning to emerge: gas-phase ammonia is present in higher concentrations when the average temperature is greater. The total concentration and the ratio of gas-to-particle concentrations are still being considered, as are these apparent trends. For the future, focus should be directed towards identifying the dominant source of analyte in the second annular denuder, observing effects of different filters, refining the gradient method, and considering the maximum collectable concentration on the denuders and filter. Lay Summary All living things from plants to animals to humans require nitrogen to perform a variety of essential chemical processes. While ~78% of the atmosphere is made up of nitrogen, the vast majority of this exists in an unreactive, and therefore unusable, form. This is due to a strong triple bond between two nitrogen atoms in the nitrogen gas molecule (N2). Reactive nitrogen, on the other hand, is also present in the atmosphere but its lack of a triple bond makes it usable for living things. In small concentrations, reactive nitrogen can deposit onto ecosystems, providing plants and animals with a vital, and often limited, nutrient. In larger concentrations, atmospheric reactive nitrogen forms particulate matter; particulate matter is tiny solids or liquids suspended in the air. Of most interest is particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5); for reference the width of a human hair is around 70 micrometers. Particulate matter of this size penetrates deeply into the lungs and causes pulmonary, respiratory, and cardiac diseases. Furthermore, the World Health Organization says that PM2.5 is the greatest risk to human health associated with air pollution. Due to the high risk of these species along with projected increases in emissions and limited study in urban environments, there is a lot to be gained from analyzing trends in the concentration of reactive nitrogen over time. In this paper, I developed a method to collect several compounds of reactive nitrogen from the atmosphere and then determine the concentration that those species are present in at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The compounds were collected using a vacuum pump that pulls air through a cylindrical tube and filter. The tube was coated with phosphorous acid which causes basic gasses to stick to the inner walls. The filter collected particulate matter of the desired diameter. Ion chromatography was the method used to determine the concentrations of the compounds that were collected. The chromatography instrument first separated the compounds by their polarity and then measured their conductivity, which is linearly related to the concentration. The results of interest are total concentrations of compounds and the relative amount of a compound in the gas-phase and the particle-phase. Comparing these results to the weather conditions at the time of sampling allows people to better recognize high-risk locations and circumstances. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of long-term sampling of reactive nitrogen in an urban environment and provides a framework for such analysis to continue in the future. It is too early in the sampling process to fully understand the trends and fluctuations as a result of weather conditions, but a proven method is a vital first step.

The Move Towards Cashless Society: How to Improve Consumers’ Use of Bank Cards in Retail Stores?

Abstract The World Health Organization says money can spread all varieties of bacteria and viruses. A measure that can be taken to help stop the spread of Covid-19 is decreasing or ideally, eliminating, the use of cash and promoting the use of contactless payments. Cash remains a frequently used retail payment method specifically for small-value purchases. The switch from cash to cards and other payment methods is one of the major trends in consumer shopping financial behavior. This research investigates explaining factors of bank cards use for payment purposes. It builds on an integration of the Technology Acceptance Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior to explain customers’ intention to use bank cards. Data was collected with a face-to-face survey in retailing context. The proposed model was tested through the PLS-SEM approach. Results show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and attitude are prominent predictors of the behavioral intention to use bank cards for payment purposes in retail stores. The findings provide insights to service vendors and merchants on how to increase customers’ use of cards rather than cash.

An exclusive hand protection device made of fused deposition modelling process using poly (lactic acid) polymer

The world has been hit hardest by a type of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus called corona. This vulnerability did not leave all the superpowers in the world. The virus, is spread through coughs and sneezes. It is also spread by touching objects or parts of an infected person. For this reason, it is considered an infectious disease. It is very difficult to protect ourselves from such a contagious disease. But the World Health Organization (WHO) says there are certain guidelines to follow. The first way is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 social infection by adhering to social spaces (i.e. 2 m intervals). Second, we can protect ourselves by using appropriate safety equipment. We can also protect ourselves from the COVID-19 virus by using sanitizers or soaps. So this study focuses on a 3D-printed hand protection device for COVID- 19 infection prevention. The design, fabrication, and testing of the gadget were all successful. Thus, a low-cost and efficient device made by eco-friendly Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) polymer material and may be utilized to operate some potentially susceptible and highly infectious surfaces in a variety of public areas, where touching and using particular components is common and frequent (eg door handles, electrical switches, ATM machines).

Smart Urban Water Quality Prediction System Using Machine Learning

The World Health Organization says that every year more than 3.4 million people die as a result of water-related diseases. Quality of water serves as a powerful environmental determinant and a foundation for the prevention and control of waterborne diseases. The project aims to design a water quality prediction system using Machine learning based on the water standards suggested by BIS to prevent deaths due to water related diseases. The quality is predicted based on parameters such as pH, Temperature, TDS, Turbidity and Conductivity value. The dataset is preprocessed and split into test and training data. The data is fed into regression algorithm and been evaluated. Sensors that can measure the water parameters are also been implemented. A webpage interfaced with the Machine Learning model is created to upload sensor values and the corresponding water quality is predicted. This project can be used in urban areas to predict the quality of the drinking water thereby preventing the spread of diseases such as dysentery, typhoid and cholera due to consumption of contaminated water.

Few options to thwart a sweet tooth

If you’ve vowed to cut back on sugar, you are in good company. A survey of US consumers by the research firm Label Insight found 47% planned to eat less sugar or buy more no-sugar-added foods in 2018. Many people struggle to cut down on sugar. A study of adults diagnosed with metabolic syndrome who were coached for a year to reduce sugar in their diets showed the majority continued to exceed recommended limits for added sugar (Eur. J. Nutr. 2017, DOI: 10.1007/s00394-017-1390-6). The World Health Organization says added sugars should account for no more than 10% of total calories consumed in a day, or a maximum of 50 g for an adult male on a 2,000-calorie diet. Ideally, we’d eat half that. Yet the average American consumes over 71 g, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. Clearly, health warnings alone will not fix our craving

Microplastics in drinking water not risky

Bottoms up with that glass of H2O—and don’t worry about the tiny pieces of plastic widely found in drinking water, the World Health Organization says. “Based on the limited information we have, microplastics in drinking water don’t appear to pose a health risk at current levels,” says Maria Neira, director of the WHO’s Department of Public Health, Environment and Social Determinants of Health. What’s more, the WHO recommends against the regular monitoring of microplastics in drinking water, saying regulators and utilities should focus their resources on the removal of pathogens and toxic chemicals. Microplastics are often defined as ranging from 5 mm to as small as 1 μm long, the WHO says in an analysis. They are typically plastic fragments and fibers. The main types of plastic found in drinking water, from both the tap and bottled, are polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene. In concluding that microplastics in drinking water poses

Assessing the uptake of cervical cancer screening among women aged 25-65 years in Kumbo West Health District, Cameroon.

IntroductionCervical cancer remains one of the leading health hazards affecting a majority women across the globe. The situation is even more, preoccupying particularly in areas where screening programmes and services are absent. The World Health Organization (WHO) says “cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women, with an estimated 570,000 new cases diagnosed in 2018 which represents 6.6% of all female cancers. Approximately 90% of deaths from cervical cancer occurred in low- and middle-income countries”. Despite the high mortality rate from cervical cancer globally, the trend could be reduced through a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, early diagnosis, effective screening and treatment programmes. In Cameroon, the prevalence of cervical cancer is 24% among women of reproductive age. An estimated 1,993 new cases are recorded annually in Cameroon with 1676 deaths. Despite this precarious situation, the uptake in cervical cancer screening service remains poor and stands at 19.6% in Cameroon. It is against this background that this paper evaluates the uptake of cervical cancer among women aged 25-65 years in the Kumbo West Health District (KWHD). Specifically, this study assesses the knowledge of women in this health district on cervical cancer and determines factors that affect the uptake of cervical cancer screening services.MethodsThis study is a cross-sectional study in the KWHD involving 253 consented women between the ages 25 to 65 years. The principal research instrument was a three-part questionnaire designed to collect information on socio-demographic profile, cervical cancer knowledge and associated factors for uptake in cervical cancer screening. Data was entered in MS Excel and analysed using Excel. Results were presented in tables and figures.ResultsOur study reveals that a majority of the participants (74.70%) had heard of cervical cancer and 43.48% had undergone cervical cancer screening. Again, 24.51% and 29.25% of the participants respectively could not identify any risk factor and symptom of cervical cancer.ConclusionThe study revealed that the uptake of cervical cancer screening in KWHD is higher than the national uptake. The level of awareness on the risk factors and symptoms of cervical cancer is low, posing a need to put more emphasis on educating and creating awareness of cervical cancer among communities on risk factors, prevention measures and signs and symptoms in all the health areas of the KWHD.
