Abstract: Described herein are methods fir treating patients with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), comprising administering ferric citrate to such patients. In certain aspects, the patients treated for iron-deficiency anemia have a gastrointestinal disorder, such as inflammatory bowel disease, inflammatory bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, microscopic colitis (such as collagenous or lymphocytic colitis), or chemically-induced colitis (e.g., NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug)-induced colitis). In certain aspects, the patients treated for iron-deficiency anemia have blood loss associated with childbirth, menstruation or infection. In some aspects, the patients treated for iron-deficiency anemia have insufficient dietary intake of iron and/or insufficient absorption of iron.

Abstract: A system for non human animal-based surveillance including a non-human animal-borne, non-human animal noise sensor, and a non-human animal noise analyzer operative to receive sensed non-human animal noises, to determine at least partially therefrom whether an alarm situation exists and to provide an alarm indication output.
