While vaccines ensure individual protection against COVID-19 infection, delay in receipt or refusal of will have both and community impacts. The behavioral factors vaccine hesitancy are a crucial dimension that need to be understood order design appropriate interventions. aim this study was explore the determinants acceptance provide recommendations increase uptake Bangladesh.We employed Barrier Analysis (BA) approach examine twelve potential (drawn from Health Belief Model [HBM] Theory...
Antimicrobials are empirically used in COVID-19 patients resulting increased antimicrobial resistance. Our objective was to assess use among suspected in-patients. From March August 2020, we collected data from in-patients of 12 tertiary-level hospitals across Bangladesh. We identified patients; information on received within 24 h before and hospitalization; tested nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 using rRT-PCR. descriptive statistics a regression model analysis. Among 1188 patients, 69%...
For supporting antibiotic stewardship interventions, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified antibiotics through AWaRe (Access, Watch, and Reserve) classification. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials among hospital-admitted patients exposes them to vulnerability developing resistant organisms which are difficult treat. We aimed describe proportion based on WHO classification in tertiary secondary level hospitals Bangladesh. A point prevalence survey (PPS) was conducted adapting PPS...
Irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics in aquaculture can contribute to the development antibiotic resistance. In this study, we aimed assess usage inland coastal fish farms Bangladesh identify factors associated with practice. We conducted a cross-sectional study collect information from 672 farmers Bangladesh. The frequency use, types antibiotics, purpose usage, prescribing practices were estimated. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) calculated measure association between related...
The WHO Essential Medicines List Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe) classification could facilitate antibiotic stewardship optimal use. In Bangladesh, data on dispensing in pharmacies according to the AWaRe are scarce. We aimed explore pattern aid pharmacy-targeted national program (ASP). From January July 2021, we interviewed drug-sellers from randomly selected customers attending pharmacies. collected demographics medicines purchased. classified purchased antibiotics into groups among 128...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory infections in young children worldwide. RSV-associated deaths are underreported Bangladesh. We analyzed hospital-based surveillance data on severe (SARIs) under-five before (August 2009-February 2020) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020-March 2022). Using World Health Organization definition, we identified SARI cases 14 tertiary-level hospitals. Nasopharyngeal oropharyngeal swabs were collected for...
Seasonal and avian influenza viruses circulate among human poultry populations in Bangladesh. However, the epidemiology of is not well defined this setting. We aimed to characterise seasonality, examine regional heterogeneity transmission, evaluate coseasonality between circulating
Background: To aid in the development of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs), we analyzed patterns and trends antibiotic prescriptions for patients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI), utilizing WHO's AWaRe classification. Methods: We data from hospital-based influenza surveillance January 2011 to December 2020 across nine Bangladeshi tertiary-level hospitals. Surveillance physicians collected WHO-defined SARI patient data, including demographics, clinical characteristics,...
Background Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus infection can cause severe disease in humans, resulting death or permanent neurologic deficits among survivors. Studies indicate that the incidence of JE is high northwestern Bangladesh. Pigs are amplifying hosts for (JEV) and a potentially important source environment. The objectives this study were to describe transmission dynamics JEV pigs Bangladesh estimate potential impact vaccination reduce pigs. Methodology/Principal Findings We conducted...
Introduction During the 2019 novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020, limited data from several countries suggested reduced seasonal influenza viruses’ circulation. This was due to community mitigation measures implemented control of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We used sentinel surveillance identify changes 2020 season compared with previous seasons Bangladesh. Methods hospital-based (HBIS) Bangladesh that are generated year-round and...
Background Seasonal influenza‐associated mortality estimates help identify the burden of disease and assess value public health interventions such as annual influenza immunization. Vital registration is limited in Bangladesh making it difficult to estimate seasonal mortality. Objectives Our study aimed rates for 2010‐2012 Bangladesh. Methods We conducted surveillance among hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory illness ( SARI ) persons aged ≥5 years pneumonia children <5 11...
Irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics in commercial chicken production can contribute to the development antimicrobial resistance. We aimed assess antibiotic usage Bangladesh, identify factors associated with this practice. conducted a large-scale cross-sectional study collect information on chickens from January May 2021. Structured interviews were 288 broiler, layer 192 Sonali (locally-produced cross-bred) farmers 20 sub-districts across Bangladesh. The frequency usage, types...
The general population has been excessively using antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, use of for any reported illnesses in preceding four weeks and knowledge among community were assessed possible interventions. A mobile phone survey a across eight administrative divisions Bangladesh was conducted January–March 2021. Reported illness episodes irrespective interview, illnesses, on recorded. Descriptive analyses performed. We randomly interviewed 1854 participants, with mean...
Global influenza-associated acute respiratory infections contribute to 3-5 million severe illnesses requiring hospitalization annually, with 90% of hospitalizations occurring among children < 5 years in developing countries. In Bangladesh, the inadequate availability nationally representative, robust estimates limits allocation resources for prevention and control measures.
This research presents a machine vision approach to detect lesions in liver ultrasound as well resolving some issues such artifacts, speckle noise, and blurring effect. The anisotropic diffusion is modified using the edge preservation conditions which found better than traditional ones quantitative evolution. To dig for more potential information, learnable super-resolution (SR) embedded into deep CNN. feature fused Gabor Wavelet Transform (GWT) Local Binary Pattern (LBP) with pre-trained...
