    Surge in iron infusions prompts warning over serious side effect

    Recent data shows it is becoming more common as iron infusions surge in Australia, particularly among women of reproductive age.

    The Therapeutic Goods Administration is considering whether to follow the US and introduce a warning label to alert patients and healthcare professionals to the risk.

    Kate Russell thought getting an iron infusion would help alleviate her fatigue, but she says the treatment instead led to a condition that landed her in an induced coma.

    The 46-year-old said she was not warned about the potential risks and the 12 months since her admission to Toowoomba Hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) had been "devastating".

    Iron infusions have become far more common in Australia in recent years.

    But a possible complication is raising questions about how well patients are being told of the risks.

    A Queensland woman says her experience left her in intensive care, and there are calls for regulators to look at what's been done overseas.

    Laura Tchilinguirian spoke to Dr Kieran Le Plastrier, a GP and assistant professor at Bond University, about the safety of iron infusions.

    [SMM Iron Ore] Coke price cuts fail to lift iron ore buying as prices stay low

    DCE iron ore futures were quiet today with limited movement. The most-traded I2701 contract settled at 683 yuan/mt, down 0.07% from the previous session. Qingdao port spot prices fell 0-2 yuan/mt on average. Traders were less active and mills bought to cover immediate needs, with few enquiries. Market trading was thin.

    On fundamentals, supply has eased slightly but the market remains comfortably supplied. With more blast furnace maintenance reported after the holiday, the market is broadly pessimistic on near-term iron ore demand, buying appetite is weak and prices have held at low levels. Notably, while the first round of coke price cuts has improved mill margins, it has yet to translate into additional iron ore buying given soft end-use demand. Iron ore demand is likely to stay low in the near term, leaving prices rangebound at low levels.

    Capesize ballaster list and India coal flows: dry bulk view

    Iron ore went into China's 8-day National Day holiday on the back foot. The Singapore Exchange (SGX) 61% Fe November contract fell 3.5% week on week to $92.80/t on 1 October. The Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) January 2027 contract fell 1.3% to 702.5 yuan/t on 30 September.

    The weakness was mainly a Chinese demand and margin story. Member mills of the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA) averaged 1.92 mt a day of crude steel from 10 to 20 September, 7.3% lower year on year. The association urged mills to cut production further as port inventories climbed and profitability weakened.

    Freight added to the pressure. Capesize rates eased on the C5 West Australia to Qingdao route, lowering the delivered cost floor. With Dalian closed for the holiday, Singapore futures are trading without Chinese participants. Thin liquidity can exaggerate moves, and our base case is that prices stay soft over the holiday.

    Iron Lung review – YouTuber Markiplier crash lands with big-screen sci-fi horror

    Online gaming legend Mark Fischbach writes, directs and stars in this feature about a convict on a vague intergalactic mission – but his barebones production has nothing to show

    William Goldman’s old showbiz maxim continues to apply that nobody knows anything. Independently financed horror movie Iron Lung has been smuggled into multiplexes without the usual promotional hoopla, where it was keenly awaited by the massed followers of its Hawaiian writer-director-star Mark Fischbach, better known as YouTube gaming legend Markiplier. Many of us have long sensed culture is making a decisive break with the analogue in favour of the (perhaps terminally) online and Fischbach’s film makes that paradigm shift not just visible but visceral; it feels not unlike spending 12 hours on Twitch with all the curtains closed.

    The Box-Office Story of the Weekend Isn’t Melania. It’s Something Much Weirder.

    This past weekend saw one of the oddest box-office victories in recent times. No, I’m not talking about Melania, the first lady–produced documentary that Amazon reportedly spent $40 million on for the rights alone, with an additional $35 million for the marketing. I’m talking about Iron Lung, a self-financed film by a beloved YouTuber named Mark Fischbach, who goes by the handle Markiplier, and who has more than 38 million followers to his name. The movie, an adaptation of an indie horror video game, had a budget of approximately $3 million—an amount that Iron Lung has already earned back seven times over, with a box office of $21.7 million worldwide. Markiplier’s secret to getting his passion project into an impressive 3,000 theaters? According to an interview with Matt Belloni’s podcast The Town, he tapped into his network of fans, many of whom apparently work at movie theaters, and who vouched for the film to their managers. This is one of the rosier byproducts of his years cultivating a relationship with followers through videos that are usually—though not always—about gaming.
