Imperial Conflict - The FAQ
There are three methods of getting iron, the main method is building mining facilities (or MFs), these produce one iron unit per tick per facility. The productivity of an MF may also be increased if they have been built on a planet with an iron bonus, for example a planet with a 20% iron bonus and 10 MFs will produce 12 iron units instead of just 10 units. Any decimal answer will be rounded down.

How do I clean rust off iron?

Frequently Asked Questions for letterpress
The way we remove rust from machined iron surfaces at the foundry, is with plenty of solvent (or diesel oil) and a scotch brite pad. Wear rubber gloves so you don't dry out your fingers. When the metal is shiny, wipe on a coating of oil to protect it. For areas that cannot be oiled, because of paper contact, try Johnson's Paste Wax. Rub it on heavy, and don't polish it off. It will self-polish, and protect in the mean time.

Should I Worry About Iron In A Vegan Diet?

FAQ For Vegetrial World
quot;Iron deficiency, unlike protein deficiency, sometimes is a real problem, but meat is not the answer. The American Dietetic Association said in 1988 that vegetarians don't have a higher incidence of iron deficiency than nonvegetarians. If you are concerned about getting enough iron, avoid eating iron- rich foods along with substances that inhibit iron absorption: phyates (found in high-bran and unmilled cereals), polyphenols (such as tannins in tea) and calcium.

Are there other disorders that cause iron overload?

Genomics|Training|Perspectives|Hemochromatosis FAQ
In the United States, the most frequent cause of iron overload is hereditary hemochromatosis. However, there are rare genetic disorders that also result in iron overload such as neonatal hemochromatosis and juvenile hemochromatosis. In addition, iron overload can result from years of excess iron ingestion and repeated blood transfusions.

Iron overload is the accumulation of excess iron in body tissues. Hemochromatosis is a disease resulting in iron overload. Hemochromatosis can have genetic and non-genetic causes. As such, the disease is referred to as hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC). Most cases are a result of a genetic predisposition resulting in excessive absorption of iron from the food we eat on a daily basis.

How do I know if I have iron overload?

Iron Disorders Institute - Frequently Asked Questions
Tests are needed to determine iron overload: fasting serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) are used to calculate the Tsat% (transferrin-iron saturation percentage). Serum ferritin measures the amount of iron in containment (storage). Tsat% is normally 25-35%; serum ferritin range varies by age and gender, but as a rule 25-75ng/mL is a normal range for most.

Are my children at risk for iron overload?

Iron Disorders Institute - Frequently Asked Questions
HFE related iron overload is not known to occur in youths. The iron accumulation process in classic HHC is very slow and takes 20-30 years to manifest in symptoms or organ damage. Newborns and infants have a naturally high iron saturation and ferritin, which can be misleading and inappropriately attributed to iron loading. There is a form of juvenile hemochromatosis, but this form is caused by genes other than HFE.

If I have iron overload, how often should I have a phlebotomy?

Iron Disorders Institute - Frequently Asked Questions
Patients with serum ferritin over 1,000ng/mL need aggressive iron removal and may need a phlebotomy twice a week until ferritin is lowered to a normal range. Once ferritin is below 1,000ng/mL, the risk of cirrhosis is less than 1%. Iron loading patterns vary with the individual depending upon a person's age, compliance with therapy, general health, tissue iron levels, modifying genes not yet discovered, tolerance to blood extractions, and diet, especially the amount of red meat consumed.

How much iron do I need if I am pregnant?

Anemia
Pregnant women need twice as much iron in their diet than women who are not pregnant. But about half of all pregnant women do not get enough iron. During pregnancy, your body needs more iron because of the growing fetus, the higher volume of blood, and blood loss during delivery. If a pregnant woman does not get enough iron for herself or her growing baby, she has an increased chance of having preterm birth and a low-birth-weight baby.

Is iron dangerous for children with DS?

Down Syndrome: FAQ
The claim that iron is dangerous is often based on two suppositions, the first being that since iron is present in plaques in the brain of people with Alzheimer's disease, iron must be part of the process of the creation of the plaques. However, it has been shown that plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease are very sticky, and contain many things that may not have been involved in the initial formation of the plaques.

Should a hemochromatosis patient avoid iron fortified food?

Genomics|Training|Perspectives|Hemochromatosis FAQ
Hemochromatosis patients do not need to avoid iron containing foods. It is strongly recommended that hemochromatosis patients NOT take vitamin-mineral dietary supplements that contain iron.

Such patients should avoid anything else that has the potential to cause liver damage, such as alcohol consumption---more than mild alcohol consumption should be avoided.

The main causes of iron deficiency are poor absorption of iron by the body, inadequate intake of iron, pregnancy, growth spurts or blood loss due to heavy menses or internal bleeding. Anemia develops slowly after the normal stores of iron have been depleted in the body in the bone marrow.
