Abstract Background The restrictions associated with the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in changes to young children’s daily routines and habits. impact on their participation movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary screen time sleep) is unknown. This international longitudinal study compared before during pandemic. Methods Parents of children aged 3–5 years, from 14 countries (8 low- middle-income countries, LMICs) completed surveys assess how these were Surveys 12 months up...
As complete absence of germ cells leads to sterile males in zebrafish, we explored the relationship between primordial cell (PGC) number and sexual development. Our results revealed dimorphic proliferation PGCs early zebrafish larvae, marking beginning differentiation. We applied morpholino-based gene knockdown transplantation strategies demonstrate that a threshold is required for stability ovarian fate. Using histology transcriptomic analyses, determined gonads are meiotic stage at 14 days...
Establishing reliable early warning models for severe dengue cases is a high priority to facilitate triage in dengue-endemic areas and optimal use of limited resources. However, few studies have identified the complex interactive relationship between potential risk factors dengue. This research aimed assess detect their high-order combinative effects on A structured questionnaire was used collect detailed outbreak data from eight representative hospitals Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2019. Logistic...
The textile wet processing industry is considered a notorious polluter due to its widespread use of natural resources without proper replenishment. Bangladesh one the largest producers products in World, and therefore, it vulnerable environmental degradation. predominantly cotton country; reactive dyes are commonly used, dye combination very water chemical-intensive. There scarcity information on consumption water, generation wastewater sector. Thus, this study aimed estimate amount use,...
Importance The prevalence estimates of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep (collectively known as movement behaviors) in 3- 4-year-old children worldwide remains uncertain. Objective To report the proportion who met World Health Organization guidelines for across 33 countries. Design, Setting, Participants Pooled analysis data from 14 cross-sectional studies (July 2008 to September 2022) identified through systematic reviews personal networks. Thirty-three countries varying...
Androgens play an important role in male sexual differentiation and development. They exert their function by binding to activating the androgen receptor (Ar), a member of steroid hormone superfamily. Here, we report on isolation characterization zebrafish Ar. The complete transcript ar is 5.3 kb long encoding putative polypeptide 868 amino acids. Our experimental bioinformatic analysis has found single locus zebrafish. Phylogenetic using ligand-binding domain showed that Ar clustered with...
The global burden from cancer is rising, especially as low-income countries like Bangladesh observe rapid aging. So far, there are no comprehensive descriptions reporting diagnosed group that include hematological malignancies in Bangladesh.This was a multi-center hospital-based retrospective descriptive study of over 5000 confirmed cases between January 2008 to December 2012. Morphological typing carried out using the "French American British" classification system.A total 5013 patients...
Background Chikungunya virus causes mosquito-transmitted infection that leads to extensive morbidity affecting substantial quality of life. Disease associated morbidity, life, and financial loss are seldom reported in resources limited countries, such as Bangladesh. We the acute clinical profile, life consequent economic burden affected individuals recent chikungunya outbreak (May September 2017) Dhaka city, Methods conducted a cross-sectional study during peak (July 24 August 5, document...
24-hour movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep) during the early years are associated with health developmental outcomes, prompting WHO to develop Global guidelines for physical sleep children under 5 of age. Prevalence data on is lacking, particularly in low-income middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper describes development
Abstract Background The mosquito-borne arboviral disease dengue has become a global public health concern. However, very few studies have reported atypical clinical features of among children. Because an understanding various spectrums presentation is necessary for timely diagnosis and management, we aimed to document the typical along with predictors severity children during largest outbreak in Bangladesh 2019. Methods We conducted cross-sectional study between August 15 September 30, eight...
BackgroundDengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease commonly reported in the tropical regions of world.The presence two mosquito vectors (Aedes aegypti highly urban, while A. albopictus less urban) throughout year makes dengue fever an endemic number countries.Among predicting variables, rise temperature and rainfall have shown to be associated with cases [1].While relatively emphasized compared climatic factors, mass movement particularly important during large-scale outbreaks.This article...
To investigate whether specific-pathogen-free (SPF) shrimps are asymptomatic carriers of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), we used a WSSV-specific DNA microarray to measure WSSV gene expression in SPF and WSSV-infected shrimps. Three genes were found be relatively highly expressed Reverse transcription-PCR using nested primers as well real-time detection confirmed that these have no detectable counterparts GenBank; structural analysis the putative proteins revealed helix-loop-helix leucine...
Childhood obesity is rapidly rising in many developing countries such as Bangladesh; however, the factors responsible for this increase are not well understood. Being primary caregivers of children, particularly countries, maternal perceptions and knowledge could be important influencing weight status children. This study aimed to assess childhood associated socio-demographic Bangladesh. A cross-sectional using stratified random sampling was conducted among 585 mothers whose children aged 4...
Our brief commentary on the threat and potential impact of public’s “panic” to COVID-19 outbreak. As stated, Bangladesh is in a very precarious situation with imminent disease spreading throughout densely populated country over 160 million. We can make parallels our recent experience devastating Dengue virus believe it essential share this report other public health agencies especially those from low-and-middle-income countries.
Thalassaemia is a potentially life-threatening yet preventable inherited hemoglobin disorder. Understanding local socio-cultural context and level of public awareness about thalassaemia pivotal for selecting effective prevention strategies. This study attempted to assess knowledge perceptions among college students in Bangladesh.A supervised cross-sectional survey was conducted on 1578 using self-administered structured questionnaire. The took place from 15 February 2018 17 March the...
Bangladesh, a South Asian country with over 165 million people, is currently confronting the worst phase of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVIDAU : PleasenotethatCOVID À 19hasbeendefineda -19) pandemic since official declaration on 8 March 2020, record surge in cases and deaths.After ravaging neighboring countries (India Nepal), highly contagious delta variant has been spreading rapidly throughout Bangladesh.While more than 110,000 confirmed 17,894 deaths had reported Bangladesh as 19 July 2021,...
Abstract Background Increasing levels of urbanization and digitization in Bangladesh may be adversely associated with children's weight status related movement behaviors. This study examined the prevalence obesity, physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, sleep among young children from a district town northern identified factors unhealthy status. Methods Population‐based cross‐sectional involving all kindergarten schools Jamalpur District town. Schools aged 4–7 years were randomly...
