Journal ArticleDOI
Dual fortification of salt with iodine and microencapsulated iron: a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in Moroccan schoolchildren.
Michael B. Zimmermann,Christophe Zeder,Noureddine Chaouki,Amina Saad,Toni Torresani,Richard F. Hurrell +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a dual-fortified salt (DFS) containing iodized salt and micro-encapsulated iron was developed and tested in a series of studies in northern Morocco.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyroid ultrasound compared with World Health Organization 1960 and 1994 palpation criteria for determination of goiter prevalence in regions of mild and severe iodine deficiency.
TL;DR: The WHO 1994 palpation criteria provide an accurate estimate of goiter prevalence in areas of severe IDD, and may be an acceptable and affordable alternative to thyroid ultrasound in these areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum transferrin receptor and zinc protoporphyrin as indicators of iron status in African children
Michael B. Zimmermann,Luciano Molinari,Franziska Staubli-Asobayire,Sonja Y. Hess,Noureddine Chaouki,Pierre Adou,Richard F. Hurrell +6 more
TL;DR: New diagnostic cutoffs for TfR and ZnPP, based on ROC curve analyses, may improve the performance of these indexes in defining iron status in children.
Development of a dried whole-blood spot thyroglobulin assay and its evaluation as an indicator of thyroid status in goitrous children
TL;DR: Thyroglobulin, measured in dried whole blood spots, may be a valuable indicator of improving thyroid function in children after supplementation with iodized salt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a dried whole-blood spot thyroglobulin assay and its evaluation as an indicator of thyroid status in goitrous children receiving iodized salt
TL;DR: In this paper, a standardized, commercially available, sandwich fluoroimmunometric serum thyroglobulin assay was adapted for use on blood spots and validated in Swiss children.
