Background Anemia is the most frequent micronutrient deficiency; globally it has an impact on more than 2 billion people. Different studies have indicated that the prevalence of anemia varies between rural areas and urban centers. This study focused on determining the prevalence and identifying the factors associated with anemia among "apparently healthy" urban and rural residents of Gilgel Gibe Field Research Center. Methods and Participants A comparative cross-sectional study was done using secondary data of Gilgel Gibe Field Research Center. Data of 1,602 (1,258 rural and 344 urban) apparently healthy adults whose hemoglobin level was available were included in the analysis. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 and separate logistic regression models; urban and rural were fitted. Statistical significance was set at p-values less then 0.05 with 95% CI. Results The overall prevalence of anemia was 40.9%. Anemia was higher among rural residents (46.6%) than urban residents (20.1%). In urban centers, being male (AOR = 2.15, 95% CI [1.03, 4.50]) and illiterate (AOR = 5.76, 95% [CI 1.27, 26.07]) were significantly associated with anemia. In rural areas, being female (AOR = 1.78, 95% CI [1.27, 2.52]), presence of heart disease (AOR = 2.63, 95% CI [1.09, 6.33]), central obesity (AOR = 1.83, 95% CI [1.31, 2.57]), illiteracy (AOR = 3.62, 95% CI [1.57, 8.35]), and primary school completion (AOR = 2.69, 95% CI [1.08, 6.73]) were significantly associated with anemia. Conclusion According to the WHO classification, the overall prevalence of anemia was a severe public health problem. This study also marked urban-rural variation in anemia prevalence, indicating the need for targeting specific areas for intervention. Strengthening strategies aimed at educational empowerment and nutritional education will have a contribution to combating anemia, especially in the rural kebeles of the study area. © 2020 Tesfaye et al.Introduction Thalassemia is a hypochromic microcytic anemia, which is characterized by congenital disorders. In thalassemia patients, bone diseases are one of the causes of mortality. Our goal was to investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and increased iron uptake by cardiac myocytes and hepatocytes. Materials and Methods Forty patients with thalassemia major were studied in Amir Kabir Hospital, Arak, Iran. The information obtained through clinical examination. Serum ferritin level was determined by ELISA and T2*MRI performed for measuring iron content in the heart and the liver. Results The average age of the patients was 23.8 ± 10.7 years. The mean T2*MRI values were 23.7 ± 7. The vitamin D3 level in 33 patients (82.5% cases) was less than 20 ng/dl, 2 patients (5%) in the range of 20-30 ng/dl, and the others had above 30 ng/dl. Correlation between vitamin D and age was 0.611. Correlation coefficient between heart and liver T2*MRI with ferritin level in patients was 0.437 and 0.335, respectively. Conclusion Due to significant associations, the periodic measurement of vitamin D, as well as PTH, is recommended for patients with thalassemia major. © 2020 Shaykhbaygloo et al.Objective The study aimed to investigate the effects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep disturbance for different surgical patients and compare such effects between different dose of dexmedetomidine. Methods A total of 7418 patients undergoing nine types of non-cardiac major surgeries were retrospectively studied. Patients were separated into DEX (dexmedetomidine) or Non-DEX (Non-dexmedetomidine) groups based on the use of dexmedetomidine during surgery. The patients who reported they could not fall asleep during the night or woke up repeatedly during the most of the night at the day of the surgery and whose NRS were >6 were defined as cases with severe sleep disturbance. c-Met inhibitor Propensity score matched analysis based on all preoperative baseline data was performed along with logistic regression analysis including different surgery types and dosage of dexmedetomidine use. Results In both of the unmatched cohort (OR, 0.49 [95% CI 0.43-0.56]) and matched cohort (0.49 [95% CI 0.42-0.58]), the DEX -0.4 μg·kg-1·h-1) is most effective for prevention of postoperative sleep disturbance. © 2020 Duan et al.Background Animal studies suggested that maternal sleep during pregnancy was associated with sleep pattern in offspring; however, it has not been clear in human populations. Aim Our study discusses the relationships of maternal sleep duration with sleep characteristics in their offspring through an epidemiological study. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study including 6236 mother-child dyads was conducted in 31 preschools in May 2019, in Shanghai, China. Information regarding maternal sleep duration in three trimesters of pregnancy was collected retrospectively. Children's current sleep characteristics were evaluated through the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). Linear regressions and logistic regression models were applied to estimate β and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results Maternal sleep duration was positively associated with childhood sleep duration, which was shown in the first (β=0.113), second (β=0.131), and third trimesters (β=0.088). Meanwhile, insufficient maternal sleep duration could increase the risk of children's short sleep duration (first trimester AOR=1.25; second trimester AOR=1.33; third trimester AOR=1.33). Maternal sleep duration was also associated with childhood CSHQ score β=-0.308, -0.392, and -0.300 for the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively. Similarly, insufficient maternal sleep duration could predict childhood sleep disturbance as AOR=1.28 in the second trimester and AOR=1.26 in the third trimester. Conclusion Our findings established a relationship between maternal sleep during pregnancy and their children's sleep pattern through a population-based epidemiology study. Poor childhood sleep was found when their mother experienced less sleep duration during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. © 2020 Lyu et al.
