Clinical Approach to the Complications and Diagnostic Methodology Associated with Pernicious Anemia
Pernicious anemia is a type of anemia falling in the category of megaloblastic anemias - a group of anemias in which red blood cells are larger than normal. This type of anemia is characterized by a deficiency in Vitamin B12 - a vitamin necessary for the production of red blood cells. With …

Intestinal Parasitic Infection: Prevalence, Risk Factors and Consequences for Child Growth, Iron Status and Development in Rural Ecuador
… The prevalence of growth stunting (40%) and iron-deficiency anemia (26%) also was high. Children infected with Giardia exhibited a risk for stunted growth that was twice that of their non-infected counterparts (51.7% vs. 33.1%; OR=2.16, 95% C.I.= 1.13-4.15; p= 0.01). They also had …
