    Abstract Background: Postpartum depression, one of the most common forms of depression, is highly prevalent worldwide among women during childbirth. Despite available treatments for postpartum depression, numerous barriers hinder women to access care including time, financial constraints, and childcare concerns. Telemedicine interventions are suggested to be feasible to prevent and improve postpartum depression.
    Objective: To examine the effectiveness of telemedicine interventions - delivered exclusively during the postnatal period, on postpartum depression symptomatology in women with no history of mental disorders.
    Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
    Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses databases were used to identify relevant randomized controlled trials, until 7 January 2020. Studies were quality assessed using the Cochrane Library Risk of Bias Tool. The results of postpartum depression scores were pooled using a random-effects model. Intervention completion rate and participants' satisfaction were reported in a narrative form, as secondary outcomes.
    Results: Ten trials including a total of 2366 participants, contributed data to the review. Seven studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. Women who received technology-based interventions, regardless of the type (web-based versus telephone-based), had a statistically significant improvement in postpartum depression (mean difference: -1.81, 95% CI: -2.68 to -0.93; P<.0001). The completion rate was 80% in the intervention groups compared to 76% in the control groups. Three studies reporting participants' satisfaction revealed that the participants were highly satisfied with the technology-based interventions.
    Conclusion: Overall, telemedicine interventions appear to be promising in preventing and improving postpartum depression. Further larger-scale high-quality research is required to establish an evidence-based telemedicine approach, in terms of structure, content, and providers. Future economic evaluation is also vital to evaluate the long-term use of telemedicine in improving postpartum depression.

    Abstract Background & aims: Several methods are available to measure iron absorption (IA). The oral iron absorption test (OIAT) measures IA based on a change in serum iron (ΔSeFe) concentration after an oral iron dose. The objective of this study was to validate the OIAT by comparing it to the reference method of fractional iron absorption (FIA) using red blood cell incorporation of stable iron isotopes from a labeled iron dose. A second objective was to assess whether the OIAT could be done simultaneously with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), since iron deficiency and glucose intolerance may coexist, especially among overweight individuals with low-grade inflammation.
    Methods: In this prospective experimental study, 116 women were enrolled and IA was measured using two different approaches 1) FIA from a labeled test meal containing 6 mg of
    Results: Prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency (defined as low serum ferritin) were 21% and 14%, respectively. ΔSeFe during the OIAT-OGTT was positively associated with FIA (r = 0.578, p < 0.001). ΔSeFe was not significantly correlated with markers of glucose and insulin metabolism during the OIAT-OGTT.
    Conclusions: The combined OIAT and OGTT method described here correlates well with FIA measured by stable iron isotopes, and could provide information on both IA and glucose tolerance in a single 2-h test, decreasing the burden on patients. clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03642223).

    Abstract Background/objectives: In overweight and obesity (OW/OB), greater total body fat predicts higher serum hepcidin (SHep) which can impair iron homeostasis and increase risk for iron deficiency (ID). However, the effect of body fat distribution on SHep and iron homeostasis is unclear. In central obesity, interleukin (IL)-6 released from visceral adipose tissue into portal blood could strongly stimulate hepatic hepcidin synthesis. Thus, our hypothesis was that higher amounts of android fat, rather than gynoid fat, would predict impaired iron metabolism in OW/OB.
    Subjects/methods: In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 117 otherwise-healthy women into two groups: normal weight; BMI < 25 (n = 36) and OW/OB; BMI ≥ 25 (n = 81); we then subdivided the OW/OB using DEXA into tertiles based on the ratio of android fat/total body fat (AF/TBF). We measured inflammation and iron status, and assessed iron absorption in two ways: by measuring erythrocyte isotope incorporation from a labeled test meal containing 6 mg
    Results: Greater AF/TBF correlated with higher CRP, AGP, SHep, and TIBC, and lower transferrin saturation and SeFe/SHep ratio (for all, p < 0.05). Greater AF/TBF correlated with lower supplemental iron absorption (ΔSeFe) (p = 0.08) but not lower dietary iron absorption. In multiple regressions, AF/TBF positively predicted CRP (p < 0.001) and SHep (p < 0.05); a model including AF/TBF and serum ferritin as covariates explained 65% of the variance in SHep. AF/TBF negatively predicted TSAT (p < 0.05) and iron absorption (ΔSeFe) (p = 0.07). In contrast, the ratio of gynoid fat/total body fat was not significantly associated with these variables.
    Conclusion: Body fat distribution affects iron metabolism: women with greater central adiposity have higher SHep, greater impairments in iron homeostasis, and reduced iron absorption from a supplemental iron dose.
