Is vitamin D , not iron , the main nutrient deﬁciency in pre-school and school-aged children in Mexico City : a cross-sectional study?
There is evidence of a sustained decrease of anaemia in Mexican children due to general enrichment of foods and focus on vulnerable populations, while vitamin D deficiency seems to have increased. More studies are needed to obtain more information on vitamin D levels at different ages and definition of susceptible groups in order to investigate the possibility of general population measures such as enrichment, which have proven to be effective.
Short-term SRP prior to reperfusion can reduce infarct size, myocardial hemorrhage, wall swelling, and no-reflow phenomenon. The mechanism of this beneficial effect is not clear but might be due to gradual reperfusion and washout of by-products from the ischemic myocardium before fully oxygenated arterial blood reperfusion.
