Article Abstract
Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency in children. Due to insufficient iron storage at birth and rapid catch-up growth after birth, preterm infants tend to have a high incidence rate of ID. During the critical period of brain development, ID alters iron-dependent neurometabolism, neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, and gene/protein profiles. This affects the central nervous system and causes the change in neurocognitive and behavioral development. Iron supplementation in infancy cannot reverse neurodevelopmental impairment caused by perinatal ID. The influence of ID on neurodevelopment is time- and region-specific, and in the high-risk population, early diagnosis and optimal iron treatment may help with the recovery of brain function and improve quality of life and long-term prognosis in preterm infants.

Adult Hematologist, Security Forces Hospital, Dammam, SAU.
Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and anemia are common public health problems around the world. Recent data points to a biological connection between these disorders, especially in relation to vitamin D's function in controlling iron and hepcidin metabolism. The study aims to do a comprehensive review of the literature on the relationship between adult populations' anemia and VDD.

Infective endocarditis is a potentially fatal condition that can present with non-specific symptoms and rare hematologic manifestations, posing significant diagnostic challenges. We report a compelling case of a 67-year-old male with a history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia who sought medical attention for a five-month history of progressive iron deficiency anemia, accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, and vague constitutional symptoms. Initial extensive workup, including computed tomography of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and transthoracic echocardiography, failed to identify an underlying cause.

Introduction: Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a common neurological condition that often goes undiagnosed, especially in children. Characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, it is typically more pronounced in the evening and at rest. Growing Pains (GP), common in childhood and associated with migraine, present apparently overlapping symptoms with RLS, making it sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two.
