Iron deficiency anemia in a woman’s life cycle and its impact
Full text linkAccording to WHO, iron deficiency anemia is a condition where the body lacks iron, which is proven by signs of iron deficiency in the tissues and insufficient iron reserves in the body, accompanied by a decrease in hemoglobin levels of >2 standard deviations from the reference value in the same population. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies that occurs in a woman's life cycle due to menstruation (blood loss), pregnancy (needs for the mother and fetus), and bleeding during childbirth.aanem
The effect of multi-micronutrient and protein supplementation on iron and micronutrients status in pregnant women
No full textBackground: Potential benefits of multiple micronutrient supplements has become an increasing interest seeing as the high rate of pregnant women with suboptimal nutritional status, but low compliance often reduces effectiveness of large-scale iron and folic acid supplementation program. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of multi-micronutrient and protein supplementation on iron and micronutrients status in pregnant women.
Methods: An exploratory study was conducted to 100 pregnant women ≤ 12 weeks, who underwent antenatal care in Budi Kemuliaan Hospital, Jakarta. The subjects received formulated powder milk containing multi-micronutrient and protein supplement monthly until delivery. Anthropometric measurement, maternal and cord blood exam, ultrasound and dietary recall were done. The data was analyzed by correlation test. Correlation between variables was tested using Pearson or Spearman correlation test.
Results: The mean maternal hemoglobin level significantly decreased during study (p < 0.001), being the lowest in second trimester. The levels on the first, second, and third trimester respectively was 12.16 ± 1.03 g/d; 12 anemic subjects and 17 had low ferritin level, 10.85 ± 0.95 g/dL; 58 anemic subjects and 69 had low ferritin level, and 11.02 ± 0.35 g/dL; 50 anemic subjects and 51 had low level of ferritin). Ferritin and serum iron levels were decreased at trimester one and two (p < 0.001), also the zinc and vitamin D level declined. Anemia did not correlate with pregnancy outcomes such as preterm delivery, preeclampsia, or low birth weight.
Conclusion: The levels of maternal hemoglobin, ferritin, iron, zinc, and vitamin D during pregnancy could not be maintained or increased by multi-micronutrient and protein supplementation
URL Dokumen “Karakteristik maternal dan faktor obstetrik terkait persalinan prematur di RSUPN Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo”
No full textPrematuritas hingga saat ini masih menjadi masalah global di dunia. Prematuritas juga bertanggung jawab terhadap mayoritas kematian neonatus. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik ibu hamil (maternal) dan faktor obstetrik yang berhubungan dengan persalinan preterm di RSUPN Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo Jakarta. Studi ini merupakan studi deskriptif observasioanal dengan desain potong lintang yang dilakukan pada wanita dengan usia kehamilan <37 minggu dan melahirkan antara Januari - Desember 2014. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi usia ibu, paritas, riwayat Preterm Premature Ruptur of Membrane (PPROM), penyakit ibu khususnya preeklamsia, penggunaan kortikosteroid antenatal untuk mematangkan paru, cara persalinan, skor Apgar 5 menit dan jenis kelamin bayi. Selama periode studi terdapat 2447 persalinan dengan prevalensi persalinan preterm sebesar 41,32%. Hampir setengah dari kelahiran prematur mengalami PPROM sebelum bayi lahir. Janin berjenis kelamin laki-laki memiliki hubungan yang signifikan secara statistik dengan kelahiran prematur (p 0.036, OR 1.375, 95% CI 1.020-1.854). Ibu usia <35 hampir dua kali lipat risiko mengalami PPROM dibandingkan ibu ≥35. Menjadi nulipara juga meningkatkan risiko PPROM lebih dari 1,6 kali lipat (OR 1.663, 95% CI 1.213-2.278). Penyakit ibu seperti Diabetes Mellitus tipe 2, penyakit ginjal, jantung, autoimun, keganasan dalam kehamilan, penyakit tiroid dan infeksi sistemik memberikan risiko melahirkan prematur dua kali lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan preeklamsia. Faktor keseluruhan terbesar yang terkait dengan kelahiran prematur adalah janin laki-laki. Pada kehamilan tunggal, usia dan paritas secara statistik berhubungan dengan PPROM pada persalinan prematur
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
