Article Abstract
The kori bustard ( Ardeotis kori) is one of the largest extant flighted birds and is displayed in zoos primarily in North America and Europe. In captivity, kori bustard diets are primarily based on animal proteins, whereas in the wild these birds eat a wide variety of plants, insects, and small vertebrate prey. The purpose of this study was to compare circulating iron, total iron binding capacity, and percent transferrin saturation levels in apparently healthy wild and captive kori bustards. Adult captive kori bustards had slightly higher percent transferrin saturation levels than juvenile captive birds, although this finding was not statistically significant. This information can be referenced as a guide for the assessment of nutrition and health in captive birds.

Effect of Iron Deficiency on Right Ventricular Strain in Patients Diagnosed with Acute Heart Failure.
J Clin Med
July 2025
Department of Cardiology, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Cardiology Institute, 34098 Istanbul, Turkey.
Iron deficiency (ID) is a prevalent comorbidity of heart failure (HF), affecting up to 59% of patients, regardless of the presence of anaemia. Although its negative impact on left ventricular (LV) function is well documented, its effect on right ventricular (RV) function remains unclear. This study assessed the effects of ID on RV global longitudinal strain (RV-GLS) in patients diagnosed with acute decompensated HF (ADHF).

Hence, in this study, PH-patients were recruited at the University Hospital Zurich from May 2019 to April 2021. Clinical and hemodynamic characteristics were recorded at inclusion and venous blood samples were taken.

Introduction: This study aims to explore the relationship between trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), body composition, and protein-energy wasting (PEW) in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Methods: A total of 127 MHD patients participated in this study. Body composition was measured using the InBody770 multi-frequency body composition analyzer.
Differences in nonheme iron absorption between healthy adults of East Asian or Northern European ancestry from the Iron Genes in East Asian and Northern European Adults Study (FeGenes): A cross-sectional stable iron isotope study.

Background: Because humans lack mechanisms for excreting excess iron (Fe), dietary Fe absorption must be tightly regulated to ensure optimal Fe levels. We previously showed that East Asian (EA) individuals have higher Fe stores compared with Northern European (NE) individuals, but the physiological basis for this difference is unknown.
Objectives: Our aim is to compare nonheme Fe absorption and its regulation in healthy participants of genetically confirmed EA or NE ancestry.
