A Review on Iron Nanoparticles for Food Fortification with Iron Deficiency Anemia
Abstract: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a global health problem that affects people of all ages. Of the many options available, salt supplementation is the best and most cost-effective way to ensure nutritious food security in a large community. Stabilization of Fe salts is a difficult task because most iron compounds (ferrous sulfate, ferric chloride) used for concentration are soluble in water. It has been established that the size of iron …

Development of Plant Based Iron Rich Food Products and Their Efficacy Evaluation Using Food Based Approach
Abstract: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most wide spread nutritional problem and affects over 2 billion people. The main reason for IDA has been determined to be inadequate intake of iron and low bioavailability (1-6%) of dietary iron from plant foods. Food based approaches to addressing IDA in India are being promoted, but information on to what extent food combination would improve the bioavailability of iron is fragmentary. Vitamin C …

Recent Advances in Aquasomes Carrier Nanotechnology for Drug Delivery
Abstract: Aquasomes are a nanobiopharmaceutical carrier device with nanocrystalline calcium phosphate or ceramic diamond particle center and a polyhydroxyl oligomeric film covering them. Aquasomes are spherical 60–300 nm objects that are used to deliver drugs and antigens. It was an effective carrier mechanism for bioactive molecules such as peptides, proteins, hormones, antigens, and genes to particular locations because of properties such as defense and preservation of fragile biological molecules, conformational integrity, …

Effectiveness of Self Instructional Module on Knowledge Regarding Prevention of Iron Deficiency Anaemia among Adolescent Girls at Selected Pre-university Colleges of Moodbidri
Abstract: Introduction: Iron deficiency occurs when the body fails to create enough healthy red blood cells. It happens when the body doesn't have enough iron, a vital component needed for producing hemoglobin. The World Health Organization estimates that anaemia affects 40% of children aged 6 to 59 months, 37% of pregnant women, and 30% of women aged 15 to 49 years globally. According to National Family Health Survey 5 (2019-21), prevalence …

Cow’s milk trigger for type 1 diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes is an autoimmune, metabolic disorder that occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin hormones. Type 1 diabetes or juvenile diabetes may occur genetically due to viral infection, vitamin D deficiency and environmental factors. Cow’s milk protein is one of the causes for type 1 diabetes. Casein protein which is found in the cow’s milk is responsible for production of antibodies bovine β–lacto globulin. Such antibodies destroy the β cell …

Magnetic field guided diluted magnetic semiconductor ZnxFe2-xO3 Nanostructures for applications in biomedical and biosensors
Abstract: The magnetic field guided nanoparticles are studied in the viewpoint of diluted magnetic semiconductor. Different structures and properties of Zn doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanostructure is presented in theoretical point of view. In these regard, Weiss molecular filed theory, DFTB model, and DLVO theory are used to describe particle agglomeration, aggregation, electrostatic interactions, and magnetic interactions between Zn doped iron oxide nanocolloids. In addition, the nature of interactions between …

ANEMIA AND DIET
Abstract: Anemia is a condition that occurs when hemoglobin level goes below the normal range. As a result of it, the oxygen carrying capacity to the tissues gets diminished. Among the various types of anemia, nutritional anemia due to iron deficiency is the commonest one and it can be treated with dietary measures. But adequate knowledge about the diet and its absorption are very essential to combat it. Intake of iron …

A Randomized control trial: ‘‘Effect on application of transillumination device during peripheral IV Line cannulation on selected parameters among hospitalized under five children in navimumbai
Abstract: Transillumination is defined as passing of a light through the walls of a body part or organs to facilitate medical inspection 30. In transillumination, the hemoglobin within the vessel absorbs the light while the surrounding tissue scatters it thereby providing a suitable contrast between the vein and surrounding subcutaneous tissue. Veins can be identified between the fibre-optic arms as dark lines in the pinker subcutaneous tissue. Surface veins appear darker …
