The lead singer of heavy metal icons Iron Maiden has revealed how he had to 'audition' at a Greater Manchester brewery before bosses agreed to team up. They've since created a beer which has become a worldwide hit.
Speaking exclusively to the Manchester Evening News, real ale enthusiast Bruce, 64, who was born in Nottinghamshire and grew up in Sheffield, said he was made to show brewery bosses he was serious before they agreed to enter into their now hugely successful partnership. "So they all came down to London with a bag of 10 beers which were labelled one to 10. Some were beers I'd identified as my favourite beers and some of them were Robinson experimental brews. Others were just ringers that they'd put in there.
"I wanted it to be an everyman type of beer, not some extreme thing you'd have one pint of and go 'that was a bit odd, I don't think I'll bother with that again'. But one where you can sit and think 'I'll have two or three of those'. It really worked. On the 'audition', boss John Robinson said: "We properly interviewed him, because we knew this would only work if he knew his stuff.

Dysregulation of iron homeostasis in airways associated with persistent preschool wheezing - Respiratory ResearchBackground Currently, there are no reliable clinical tools available to identify persistent asthma symptoms among preschool children with recurrent wheezing. We investigated iron homeostasis in the airways of preschoolers with recurrent wheezing and assessed whether iron homeostasis-related indices may reliably predict persistent wheezing. Methods Iron levels and mRNA expression levels of iron homeostasis molecules were examined in bronchoalveolar lavage samples from 89 preschoolers with recurrent wheezing and 56 controls, with a 12-month follow-up conducted. Risk factors for persistent wheezing were identified using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and multivariate logistic regression. The addition of predictive values of iron indices to the modified Asthma Predictive Index (mAPI) or clinical predictors was determined using area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). Results Preschoolers with recurrent wheezing had reduced iron levels in their airways, associated with significantly decreased expression of iron export molecule SLC40A1 and increased expression of iron intake factor TFR1 and iron storage factors FTH and FTL. Risk factors for persistent wheezing included mAPI positivity, iron predictors (lower expression of SLC40A1 and higher expression of FTL), and clinical predictors (aeroallergen sensitivity, shorter breastfeeding duration, and earlier age of first wheezing episode). The addition of information on iron predictors significantly enhanced the power of clinical predictors (AUC: 84%, increase of 12%) and mAPI (AUC: 81%, increase of 14%). Conclusions Iron homeostasis is altered in the airways of preschoolers with recurrent wheezing. Adding information on iron-related indices to clinical information significantly improves accurate prediction of persistent wheezing in preschool-aged children.

Co-occurrence of iron, folate, and vitamin A deficiency among pregnant women in eastern Ethiopia: a community-based study - BMC NutritionBackground It is well known that the magnitude of undernutrition in Ethiopia is unacceptably high. The burden of co-occurrence of iron, folate, and vitamin A deficiency, on the other hand, has received less attention. Thus, in this study, we looked at the prevalence of iron, folate, and vitamin A deficiency in pregnant women in eastern Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 397 pregnant women in Haramaya district, eastern Ethiopia. An interview-assisted questionnaire and blood serum were collected from pregnant women using standard techniques and shipped to an EPHI for micronutrient analysis. Factors associated with the co-occurrence of iron, folate, and vitamin A deficiency were identified using binary and multiple logistic regressions. Results According to this study, 81.6% of the participants were deficient in at least one micronutrient, and 53.53.2% were deficient in two or more. Women who did not receive iron-folic acid supplementation (AOR = 2.44; 95% CI = 1.52–3.92), did not attend Antenatal care (ANC) follow up (AOR = 2.88; 95% CI = 1.81–4.61), and reported low consumption of diversified diet (AOR = 2.18 (95% CI = 1.35–3.51) had a higher risk of co-occurrence of iron, folate, and vitamin A deficiency. Conclusion This study found that more than half of pregnant women were in multiple micronutrients, indicating a major public health issue. In addition to the IFA supplementation programs that are already in place, there is a need for multiple micronutrient supplementation.
