Journal ArticleDOI
High-dose carbonyl iron for iron deficiency anemia: a randomized double-blind trial.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the principal advantage to the use of carbonyl Fe would derive from its safety rather than from the large doses that can be given.
Journal Article
Efficacy of Artequick versus artesunate-mefloquine in the treatment of acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Thailand.
Noppadon Tangpukdee,Srivicha Krudsood,Vipa Thanachartwet,C Pengruksa,Nanthaporn Phophak,Shigeyuki Kano,Guoqiao Li,Gary M. Brittenham,Sornchai Looareesuwan,Polrat Wilairatana +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that Artequick was as effective and well tolerated as artesunate-mefloquine and could be used as an alternative treatment for multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Southeast Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid automated liver quantitative susceptibility mapping.
Ramin Jafari,Sujit Sheth,Pascal Spincemaille,Thanh D. Nguyen,Martin R. Prince,Yan Wen,Yihao Guo,Yihao Guo,Kofi Deh,Zhe Liu,Daniel Margolis,Gary M. Brittenham,Andrea S. Kierans,Yi Wang +13 more
TL;DR: This work investigates the feasibility of automated quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to measure the liver iron concentration (LIC) and finds it feasible to guide iron‐chelating therapy for patients with transfusional iron overload.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transferrin saturation and recovery from coma in cerebral malaria
Victor R. Gordeuk,Philip E. Thuma,Christine E. McLaren,Godfrey Biemba,Stenford Zulu,Anton A. Poltera,Jim E. Askin,Gary M. Brittenham +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that increased transferrin saturations may be associated with delayed recovery from coma during standard therapy for cerebral malaria and that serum iron and total iron binding capacity should be measured in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deferoxamine prevents cardiac hypertrophy and failure in the gerbil model of iron-induced cardiomyopathy.
Tianen Yang,Gary M. Brittenham,Wei-Qiang Dong,Matthew N. Levy,Carlos A. Obejero-Paz,Yuri A. Kuryshev,Arthur M. Brown +6 more
TL;DR: In the gerbil model of iron overload, concurrent administration of DFO with iron prevents both the development of cardiac hypertrophy and the progressive deterioration in cardiac performance that are produced by chronic iron accumulation.
