Malaria early in the first pregnancy: potential impact of iron status Institute of Tropical Medicine
Background & aims: Low iron stores may protect from malaria infection, therefore improving iron stores in early pregnancy in line with current recommendations could increase malaria susceptibility. To test this hypothesis we compared iron biomarkers and red cell indices in nulliparae and primigravidae who participated in a randomized controlled trial of long-term weekly iron supplementation.
Methods: Cross-sectional and ...
Effects of weekly iron and folic acid supplements on malaria risk in nulliparous women in Burkina Faso: a periconceptional, double-blind, randomized controlled noninferiority trial Institute of Tropical Medicine
Background. The safety of iron supplementation for young women is uncertain in malaria-endemic settings.
Methods. This was a double-blind, randomized controlled noninferiority trial in rural Burkina Faso.
Results. A total of 1959 nulliparae were assigned to weekly supplementation (60 mg iron and 2.8 mg folic acid) (n = 980) or 2.8 mg folic acid (n = 979) until first antenatal visit (ANC1), or 18 months if remaining ...
Electrode-electrolyte interactions in choline chloride ethylene glycol based solvents and their effect on the electrodeposition of iron Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Although deep eutectic solvents (DES)and ethylene glycol (EG)electrolytes are gaining ground as media for the electrodeposition of metals, the influence of these electrolytes on the electrode and electrodeposits has not been elaborated before. In this work, we investigate how choline chloride: ethylene glycol based (ChCl:EG)electrolytes interact with the glassy carbon (GC)working surface at different potentials and, how these interactions ...
