BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Iron deficiency has been suggested as a potential mechanism for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) development due to involvement in neurotransmitter synthesis and transporter expression. As iron deficiency is particularly common in women of reproductive age, often due to heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), we aimed to explore the relationship between iron deficienc

Heavy periods are a common cause of anaemia in women of reproductive age. We compare the prevalence of anaemia and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) among women in the United Kingdom and Australia. Women aged 15-50 years were recruited through screening events conducted in the United Kingdom and Australia from 2016 to 2024. In these cross-sectional studies, self-report questionnaires screened for HMB

INTRODUCTION: Anaemia in patients having surgery is associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Management with intravenous iron is an attractive therapeutic option, however, pre-operative intravenous iron administration is challenging. Evidence from interventional trials suggests that the greatest benefit is after hospital discharge. As anaemia is common after surgery, this meta-analysis aimed

BACKGROUND: Patient perceptions of iron deficiency and efficacy of iron therapy may differ from the interpretations of doctors. Qualitative investigation at an individual level related may help define patient expectations and therapeutic targets. Therefore, we aimed to explore this concept in exercising females of reproductive age.METHODS: Exercising females (n = 403) who either (a) were currently

BACKGROUND: Preoperative anaemia is associated with increased use of blood transfusions, a greater risk of postoperative complications, and patient morbidity. The IRON NOF trial aimed to investigate whether the administration of i.v. iron in anaemic patients during hip fracture surgery reduced the need for blood transfusion and improved patient outcomes.METHODS: This phase III double-blind, random

afe and optimized utilization of waste-to-energy (WtE) fly ash (FA) requires a detailed understanding of the physicochemical properties of its metal constituents. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the chemical form of Zn in fine (<1 μm) and coarse (>1 μm) FA particles, hypothesized to originate from different formation mechanisms. Size-selective aerosol sampling was performed during

OBJECTIVES: Iron deficiency, anaemia, and menorrhagia - or heavy menstrual bleeding - are interrelated conditions that are highly prevalent and commonly underrecognised in exercising females of reproductive age. This study utilised a screening tool to identify risk factors and symptoms associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, iron deficiency, and anaemia in this population.DESIGN: An observationa

Preoperative anemia affects one-third of patients undergoing major surgery and is associated with worse perioperative and postoperative outcomes; including length of hospital stay, allogeneic blood transfusion, morbidity, and mortality. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia, and associative data suggests that preoperative correction of iron deficiency anemia could improve postoperativ

Projektet undersöker hur ett samtida kulturhus kan utformas som en öppen och inkluderande plats för både kunskap och praktiskt skapande. Genom att kombinera bibliotek med verkstäder och ateljéer utforskas hur arkitektur kan möjliggöra möten mellan människor med olika bakgrund, intressen och behov, samtidigt som hantverkets och kreativitetens roll i staden stärks. Med utgångspunkt i Landskronas ur

On the 28th of October 2025, Category 5 Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica. This thesis examines how it was experienced, narrated, and acted upon in Accompong, a sovereign Indigenous Maroon polity in Cockpit Country. Based on six weeks of ethnographic fieldwork (14 November–23 December 2025), we follow Melissa as an unfolding process rather than a bounded event. Guided by political ecology

This case examines Meta’s strategic response to the 2026 social media addiction trial, where the company faces accusations that Social media design contributes to compulsive use among young users. While competitors such as TikTok and Snapchat chose to settle before trial, Meta decided to defend its practices in court. The case invites students to analyze this decision from a corporate brand and cr
