The role of community health workers (CHWs) in the West Africa Ebola outbreak has been highlighted to advocate for increasing numbers CHWs globally build resilience, strengthen systems, and provide emergency response capacity. However, roles played, challenges they faced, their effectiveness during are not well documented. This study assessed impact on community-based maternal, newborn, child (MNCH) services, documented contribution other actors response, identified lessons learned...
Correct classification of type 1 (T1D) and 2 diabetes (T2D) is challenging due to overlapping clinical features the increasingly early onset T2D, particularly in South Asians. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for T1D T2D have been shown work relatively well Asians, despite being derived from largely European-ancestry samples. Here we used PRSs investigate rate potential misclassification amongst British Bangladeshis Pakistanis. Using linked health records Genes & Health cohort (n = 38,344)...
Abstract South Asians develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) early in life and often with normal body mass index (BMI). However, reasons for this are poorly understood because genetic research is largely focused on European ancestry groups. We used recently derived multi-ancestry partitioned polygenic scores (pPSs) to elucidate underlying etiological pathways British Pakistani Bangladeshi individuals T2D ( n = 11,678) gestational mellitus (GDM) 1,965) the Genes & Health study 50,556).

Aim:The study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and hematological features in crossbred dairy cattle Chittagong, Bangladesh. Materials Methods:The antibody against BVDV serum detected by indirect enzymelinked immunosorbent assay.The association different categorical variables prevalence has been studied.Blood samples were collected analyzed know variations population. Results:The overall area 51.1% (95% confidence interval [CI],...
Understanding the genetic basis of routinely-acquired blood tests can provide insights into several aspects human physiology. We report a genome-wide association study 42 quantitative test traits defined using Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) ~50,000 British Bangladeshi and Pakistani adults. demonstrate causal variant within PIEZO1 locus which was associated with alterations in red cell glycated haemoglobin. Conditional analysis within-ancestry fine mapping confirmed that this signal is...
Objective:The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in cockroaches (Periplaneta americana), and assess antimicrobial resistance profiles isolated bacteria.Materials methods: A total 150 (P.americana) were randomly captured from three households four restaurants Chittagong City Corporation, Bangladesh during July December 2014.The transported bacteriology laboratory at Poultry Research Training Centre (PRTC), Veterinary Animal Sciences University.The...
Objective:The investigation was undertaken to measure the epidemiological features and antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of Escherichia coli among different breeds goats in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.Materials methods: A total 150 rectal swab samples were collected from selected goats.The subjected for isolation E. through a series conventional bacteriological biochemical techniques.The isolated used assessing susceptibility by disk diffusion method.Besides prevalence study, nine risk factors...
Oral rabies vaccination (ORV) can increase coverage among dogs that are inaccessible to parenteral (i.e., dogs). Because bait uptake differ according the attractant used and dog characteristics, we evaluated proportion of time using three formulations. We looked for associations between characteristics (temperament, age, body condition) assessed efficiency these formulations, as measured by number vaccinated per hour. A total 356 baits were offered free roaming in urban peri-urban districts...
Aim: Mastitis is recognized as one of the most costly health disorder affecting dairy cows. An epidemiological study was carried out at some selected farms in Chittagong district Bangladesh to determine prevalence and risk factors subclinical mastitis (SCM) Materials Methods: For conducting study, were from urban periurban areas by stratified random sampling. A total 444 quarter samples 111 (56 commercial 55 backyards) lactating cows considered. Sub-clinical determined using three different...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence gastrointestinal parasitism (GP), and determine effects age, sex, breed, body score weight in occurrences GP cattle Banskhali Upazilla, Chittagong, Bangladesh. A total 50 fecal samples randomly collected directly from rectum cattle. examined by routine coproscopical methods for presence different parasites oocysts. Overall infestation was 72% (n=36/50). Prevalence Paramphistomum spp. found be highest (30%; n=15/50) followed...
Carbapenems are recommended for the treatment of urosepsis caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli
To compare bacterial killing and the emergence of resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam, administered by intermittent versus prolonged infusion (i.e. extended or continuous), for ceftriaxone-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates in an vitro dynamic hollow-fibre infection model (HFIM).K. 68 (Kp68; MIC = 8 mg/L, producing SHV-106 DHA-1) K. 69 (Kp69; 1 CTX-M-14) were studied HFIM over 7 days (initial inoculum ~107 cfu/mL). Six piperacillin/tazobactam dosing regimens Kp68 (4/0.5 g...
Abstract This study assessed the contribution of five genes previously known to be involved in cholestatic liver disease British Bangladeshi and Pakistani people. Five ( ABCB4 , ABCB11 ATP8B1 NR1H4 TJP2 ) were interrogated by exome sequencing data 5236 volunteers. Included non-synonymous or loss function (LoF) variants with a minor allele frequency < 5%. Variants filtered, annotated perform rare variant burden analysis, protein structure, modelling analysis in-silico . Out 314 variants,...

Abstract Background Urosepsis caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli is increasing worldwide. Carbapenems are commonly recommended for the treatment of ESBL infections; however, to minimize emergence carbapenem resistance, interest in alternative treatments has heightened.
