Iron-Deficiency Anemia (Anemia, Iron Deficiency) 01/01/1964 - "[FERROUS FUMARATE IN THE TREATMENT OF IRON-DEFICIENCY ANEMIAS OF PREGNANCY AND PUERPERIUM]." 09/01/1962 - "[Treatment of iron-deficiency anemia with Fumar-F]." 01/15/1962 - "Treatment of iron deficiency anemia with ferrous fumarate." 04/01/1960 - "Ferrous fumarate in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia." 12/01/2009 - "These findings were corroborated by field tests in southern India which demonstrated that double-fortified salt containing microencapsulated ferrous fumarate was effective in reducing the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia and iodine-deficiency disorders."
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/15/2007 - "The current study, Adiós al Fumar (Goodbye to Smoking), was designed to increase the reach of the Spanish-language smoking cessation counseling service provided by the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service (CIS) and to evaluate the efficacy of a culturally sensitive, proactive, behavioral treatment program among Spanish-speaking smokers. "
3.	Anemia 04/01/2003 - "In previous studies, we used home-fortification with "Sprinkles," single-serve sachets containing microencapsulated ferrous fumarate added to weaning foods, to successfully treat anemia. " 01/01/2014 - "The anemia did not improve following the administration of ferrous fumarate, and endoscopic screening of the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the small intestine, did not reveal any findings indicating the cause of the anemia. " 10/02/1967 - "[Nutritional anemia of newborns should not exist: its aspects, its prevention, importance and place of ferrous fumarate]." 03/01/2013 - "On day 14, the increase in mean Hb level in group I was 2.4 g/dl in comparison to 1.2 g/dl in group II. Women in group I had significantly higher mean Hb values on days 7 and 14 (p < 0.001) than women in group II. These results suggest that intravenous iron-sucrose increases the Hb level more rapidly than oral ferrous fumarate in postpartum anemia without any serious side effects." 03/01/2013 - "To compare effectiveness of intravenous iron-sucrose versus oral ferrous fumarate in postpartum anemia. "
4.	Vitamin A Deficiency 04/01/2014 - "Due to the high prevalence of iron and vitamin A deficiencies and to the controversy about the role of vitamin A and carotenoids in iron absorption, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the following: (1) the effect of a molar excess of vitamin A as well as the role of tannic acid on iron uptake by Caco-2 cells; (2) iron uptake and ferritin synthesis in presence of carotenoids without pro-vitamin A activity: lycopene, lutein, and zeaxantin; and (3) iron uptake and ferritin synthesis from ferrous fumarate and NaFe-EDTA. "
5.	Malaria 01/01/2015 - "The study groups were: group 1: normal diet and IPT-placebo (n = 125); group 2: consumption of porridge, an iron-fortified complementary food (CF) with optimised composition providing 2 mg iron as NaFeEDTA and 3.8 mg iron as ferrous fumarate 6 days per week (CF-FeFum) and IPT-placebo (n = 126); group 3: IPT of malaria at 3-month intervals, using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine and no dietary intervention (n = 127); group 4: both CF-FeFum and IPT (n = 124); and group 5: consumption of porridge, an iron-fortified CF with the composition currently on the Ivorian market providing 2 mg iron as NaFeEDTA and 3.8 mg iron as ferric pyrophosphate 6 days per week (CF-FePP) and IPT-placebo (n = 127).
