Iron deficiency anaemia is a global health problem, which particularly affects pregnant
women. Iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy is associated with increased maternal and …

A novel method (Sophia) is presented to track oxygen saturation changes in a controlled
environment using an RGB camera placed approximately 1.5 m away from the subject. The …

The human pulmonary vasculature vasoconstricts in response to a reduction in alveolar
oxygen tension, a phenomenon termed hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). This review …

BACKGROUND. Iron bioavailability has been identified as a factor that influences cellular
hypoxia sensing, putatively via an action on the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway. We …

Iron deficiency augments hypoxic pulmonary arterial pressure in healthy individuals and
exacerbates pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients, even without anemia. …

Though antihypertensive drugs have been in use for many decades, the mechanisms by
which they act chronically to reduce blood pressure remain unclear. Over long periods, mean …

Objectives Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity
and mortality. Iron deficiency, with or without anaemia, is associated with other chronic …

Background Anaemia is common and associated with poor outcomes in survivors of critical
illness. However, the optimal treatment strategy is unclear. Methods We conducted a …

Iron deficiency impairs skeletal muscle metabolism. The underlying mechanisms are
incompletely characterised, but animal and human experiments suggest the involvement of …

Background Increased iron availability modifies cardiorespiratory function in healthy
volunteers and improves exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with heart failure or …
