This paper examines the reliability and validity of several hypothesized indicators socioeconomic status for use in epidemiologic research, particularly studies child health less developed world. Population-based surveys disability were completed Bangladesh Pakistan using standard questionnaires designed to measure four domains household status: wealth, housing, parental education occupation. Test-retest data indicate moderate excellent most both countries. Loadings from factor analyses...

Abstract Hydrogenated diamond like Carbon (H-DLC) is a promising lubricious coating that attracted great deal of interest in recent years mainly because its outstanding tribological properties. In this study, the nano-mechanical and -tribological properties range H-DLC films were investigated. Specifically, four kinds coatings produced on Si substrates pure acetylene, methane, 25% methane + 75% hydrogen, 50% hydrogen discharge plasmas using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD)...

Indigenous people in Bangladesh's Chittagong hill regions use Curcuma longa and Zingiber officinale flowers their traditional meals due to vibrant color, exquisite flavor, fragrant perfume. The induction time of soybean oil enriched with the ethanolic extract flower (CFE), (ZFE), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) was compared determine effect on oxidation stability. study also measured bioactive polyphenolic components, total flavonoid (TFC), tannin (TTC), phenolic (TPC), antioxidant activity...

Nowadays, more attention has been paid on wild plants as new source of natural antioxidants. Therefore, methanolic extracts 10 traditionally consumed leafy vegetables Bangladesh were analyzed for their total phenolic content (TPC) and free radical scavenging activity. Folin-Ciocalteu method followed by spectrophotometric measurement was used to quantify the TPC selected vegetables. Free activity examined utilizing 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Different concentrations plant...

Asthma, a very serious health condition, results in morbidity and mortality that disproportionately affect children living inner-city areas the United States. The National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study examined variety of factors related to pediatric asthma. This article describes substudy developed brief three-dimensional scale, Caretaker Expectations Regarding Management Pediatric Scale, assess expectations caretakers with asthma regarding management condition. Modest evidence about...

Background: Phenolics and carotenoids are natural antioxidants, which provide health benefits protect against degenerative chronic diseases. Utilization identification of foods with a high content these have received greater attention nowadays. Objective: The present study reports the total phenolics (TPC) (TCC) contents thirty-two selected unconventional vegetables growing in Bangladesh. In addition, they were also analyzed for their antioxidant potentials. Methods: Folin-Ciocalteu...

The present study was aimed at evaluating mineral contents, B-vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6), vitamin C, total carotenoids content and carotene composition of unconventional vegetables, comprising 7 leafy 4 non-leafy, growing in Bangladesh. Investigated vegetables were found to have varied amount minerals (0.04 ± 0.01 786.41 6.37 mg/100 g), (0.06 1.05 0.13 g) C (5.23 0.81 59.01 2.23 g). findings also revealed that the selected plant samples exhibited diverse β-carotene ranging from 106.26 5.32...

Background: Polyphenolic compounds are known to provide health benefits and protect against degenerative chronic diseases. Utilization identification of foods with a high content these gaining greater attention nowadays. Objective: The present study reports the total phenolic (TPC), polyphenolic composition antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP TEAC) 10 commonly consumed leafy vegetables growing in Bangladesh. Materials Methods: samples were collected from different locations Bangladesh mixed...

Background: Carotenoids are natural plant pigments and precursors of vitamin A, which provide a health benefit, protect against chronic degenerative diseases, contribute to immune functions. Utilization identification foods with high content carotenoids received greater attention nowadays. Objective: The present study was aimed at evaluating total (TCC) carotene composition unconventional leafy vegetables growing in Bangladesh. Materials Methods: samples were collected from different...

A new 2-quinolone alkaloid, iso-oligophyline (1), and two very unusual C34 terpenoids, proposed names ravespanol (2) ravespanone (3), along with known compounds, β-sitosterol (4), methyl linoleate (5), were isolated from the leaf extract of Ravenia spectabilis engl. Methyl constitutes first report isolation this species. We have already reported atanine (6), oligophyline (7), ravenoline (8), arborinine (9) plant. Based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy mass spectrometric...

Introduction: Oxidative stress refers to the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and tissues antioxidant system cannot be able neutralize them. Imbalance this protective mechanism can lead damage cellular molecules such as DNA, proteins, lipids. Antioxidants ascorbic acid (vitamin C), carotenoids, polyphenols, thiols, scavenge free radicals. Functional food Nutraceutical contains antioxidants that inhibit oxidation. The present study was undertaken explore burden...

Acute respiratory infection is a major cause of death for under-5 children in Bangladesh. We aimed to analyze the effect immunonutritional status, healthcare factors, and lifestyle on incidence acute among taking individual-level contextual-level risk factors into consideration.

Orange Fleshed Sweet Potatoes (OFSPs) is an excellent nutrition sensitive function food. It contains dense amount of carotene and also rich in proximate nutrients. A wide number cultivars OFSPs has been developed worldwide, particularly sub-Saharan Africa Asia. In Bangladesh, sixteen have developed. Carotene content the surpasses all plant food carotene. good energy yielding The could, therefore, be a potential dietary approach to address vitamin deficiency for undernourished indigent people.

ABSTRACT Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious psychiatric but there are no reliable risk assessment tools for this condition. The actual reason affecting depression still controversial. It assumed that the dysregulated cytokines produced due to hyperactivation of immune system in depression. We aimed evaluate possible alteration and role serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) MDD patients. diagnostic statistical manual mental disorders, 5 th edition was used...

Hypoglycemic property of four nutraceuticals named - black cumin, garlic, methi and karela has been investigated on an alloxan induced diabetic rat model. Glibenclamide was used as positive control normal saline negative control. Serum glucose levels rats were estimated by Glucose Oxidase method using a kit, it 4.33 ± 0.43 mmol/L 8.27 0.45mmol/L respectively. The grouped into six, which then treated with the two controls. Treatment given orally everyday for 28 days. level analysed every 7...
