Determination of iodine in plants by ICP-MS after alkaline microwave extraction

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of iodine determination in various plant samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after alkaline microwave extraction was optimized.

Carbon dots-enhanced chemiluminescence method for the sensitive determination of iodide

TL;DR: In this paper, the nitrogen doped carbon dots regulated by formaldehyde were synthesized using citric acid and melamine by a simple hydrothermal method, which significantly enhanced the weak chemiluminescence (CL) reaction of K2Cr2O7 with NaHSO3 by means of energy transform from the intermediate of excited sulphur dioxide (SO2*) and the radiative recombination of oxidant-injected holes and electrons.

Iodine status during pregnancy and at 6 weeks, 6, 12 and 18 months post‐partum

TL;DR: It was found that iodine status was insufficient in both pregnant and post‐partum women and the UIC was at its lowermost 6 weeks post‐ partum and gradually improved with increasing time post-partum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of breast-milk iodine concentration of lactating women in Australia pre and post mandatory iodine fortification.

TL;DR: In this paper, the breast milk samples were collected from two cohorts of women in South Australia within 7 d of delivery to determine the breastmilk iodine concentration below 100 µg/l.

Dietary reference intakes: vitamin A, vitamin K, arsenic, boron, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, silicon, vanadium, and zinc.

TL;DR: The DRIs represent the new approach adopted by the Food and Nutrition Board to providing quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes for use in a variety of settings, replacing and expanding on the past 50 years of periodic updates and revisions of the Recommended Dietary Allowances.

Insulin-Like Growth Factors and Their Binding Proteins: Biological Actions*

TL;DR: In recognition of its generalized pleiotypic actions, sulfation factor was renamed somatomedin (mediator of the effects of somatotropin) and was included in the emerging classification of broad spectrum growth factors along with platelet derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factors, and epidermal growth factor.

Maternal thyroid deficiency during pregnancy and subsequent neuropsychological development of the child.

TL;DR: Undiagnosed hypothyroidism in pregnant women may adversely affect their fetuses; therefore, screening for thyroid deficiency during pregnancy may be warranted.

Dietary reference intakes for vitamin A, vitamin K, arsenic, boron, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, silicon, vanadium, and zinc : a report of the Panel on Micronutrients, Subcommittees on Upper Reference Levels of Nutrients and of Interpretation and Use of Dietary Reference Intakes, and the Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes, Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the scientific literature regarding dietary micronutrients, recommendations have been formulated regarding vitamins A and K, iron, iodine, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other potentially beneficial trace elements such as boron to determine the roles, if any, they play in health.
