Background and objectives Recent studies have shown that hyperuricemia is commonly associated with dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension metabolic syndrome. Elevated serum uric acid has been demonstrated to be obesity in the adult population many countries; however, there still a lack of evidence for Bangladeshi population. The aims this study were evaluate prevalence determine relationship between (SUA) among adults. Methods In cross-sectional study, blood samples collected...
Experimental evidence suggests a causal role of serum uric acid (SUA) in hypertension development. Currently, there are few data available on the association between SUA and hypertension; from Bangladeshi adults not yet. This study evaluated with among adults. Blood samples were obtained 140 males 115 females analyzed for lipid levels. Hypertension was defined as SBP ≥ mmHg and/or DBP 90 mmHg. All participants divided into four quartiles based concentrations. Association by logistic...
Alternanthera sessilis is used by folk medicinal practitioners of Bangladesh for alleviation severe pain. The objective this study was to scientifically analyze the analgesic (non-narcotic) property aerial parts plant along with antihyperglycemic activity. Antihyperglycemic activity measured oral glucose tolerance tests. Analgesic determined observed decreases in abdominal writhings intraperitoneally administered acetic acid-induced pain model mice. Administration methanol extract led...
This study investigates the impact of natural ventilation on indoor air quality (IAQ) and CO₂ concentration in residential buildings Dhaka, Bangladesh, focusing kitchen environments. Poor IAQ, particularly elevated levels, poses significant health risks, including respiratory issues cognitive impairments. In inadequate exacerbates these issues, especially kitchens where cooking activities generate pollutants like particulate matter. The aims to assess how variations window size influence...
Abstract. This study investigates the impact of window openings on indoor air quality (IAQ) and CO₂ levels in school classrooms Dhaka, focusing natural ventilation strategies to improve learning environment. The importance effective design controlling concentrations enhancing is critical, particularly tropical climates like Dhaka's, where often compromised due inadequate ventilation. aims explore effect size levels, comparing with different configurations identify best for improving IAQ....
This study investigates the perceptions of occupants regarding thermal comfort in Dhaka, characterized by high temperatures and tropical wet dry climate. The primary objectives are to identify factors influencing indoor examine effects ventilation on occupants' health. Surveys were conducted living rooms thirty residential units, measuring room temperature using thermometers gathering occupant feedback. findings reveal that building design factors, including form, orientation, ratio openings...
The study investigates the interplay between ventilation, CO₂ concentrations, indoor temperatures, and energy consumption in residential bedrooms during heating season Dhaka. Using a mixed-methods approach, including post-occupancy surveys, field measurements, window door opening ventilation strategies, research analyzes impact of configurations, behavioral practices, natural on air quality thermal comfort. Key findings reveal significant reductions levels with optimized improved enhanced...
This study evaluates thermal comfort in residential kitchens Dhaka City, focusing on the influence of window opening behavior indoor temperature and humidity under different weather conditions. The primary objectives were to analyze patterns their impact air conditions, identify architectural factors influencing comfort, recommend adaptive solutions for energy-efficient ventilation. An experimental-descriptive approach was used, encompassing real-time measurements six during May June 2024....
Background: Drowning is a significant public health issue in Bangladesh. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that drowning one of the leading causes death among children aged 1 to 4 Contributing factors include lack swimming skills, inadequate supervision, and proximity residences open water sources. Objective: This study was designed assess knowledge practice on management rural community.Materials methods: descriptive cross-sectional conducted Jamtoyel, Ajugora Subornosara Belkuchi...
Neolamarckia cadamba (Rubiaceae) leaf is used in folk medicine of Bangladesh for the treatment diabetes, but so far no scientific study has been done which may support its use traditional medicine. The present was carried out to evaluate possible glucose tolerance efficacy methanolic extract using glucose-induced hyperglycemic mice. at different doses administered one hour prior administration and blood level measured after two hours (p.o.) oxidase method. statistical data indicated...
Averrhoa carambola L. (Oxalidaceae), Ficus hispida L.f. (Moraceae), and Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M. Perry (Myrtaceae) are three common plants in Bangladesh, the fruits of which edible. The leaves A. F. used by folk medicinal practitioners for treatment diabetes, while S. cold, itches, waist pain. Since scientific studies absent on antihyperglycemic effects plants, it was objective present study to evaluate potential methanolic extract oral glucose tolerance tests carried out...
Amaranthus tricolor whole plants are used by folk medicinal practitioners of Bangladesh for treatment pain, anaemia, dysentery, skin diseases, diabetes, and as a blood purifier. Thus far, no scientific studies have evaluated the antihyperglycaemic antinociceptive effects plant. The present study was carried out to evaluate possible glucose tolerance efficacy methanolic extracts A. tricolour using glucose-induced hyperglycaemic mice, with acetic acid-induced gastric pain models in mice. In...
Xanthium indicum stem is used in folk medicine of Bangladesh to control sugar diabetic patients and alleviate pain. The objective the study was evaluate antihyperglycemic antinociceptive activity methanolic extract stems (XISE) mice.Antihyperglycemic measured by oral glucose tolerance tests glucose-loaded Swiss albino mice. Antinociceptive determined observed decreases abdominal constrictions acetic acid-induced gastric pain model mice.The methanol showed dose-dependent statistically...
The study reports the phenolic composition of propolis from Bangladesh and its ameliorative effects against tetracycline-induced hepatonephrotoxicity in rats. Male Wistar Albino rats (n = 18) were randomly divided into three following groups: (1) normal control, (2) tetracycline-treatment (200 mg kg−1 rat−1), (3) tetracycline rat−1) + (100 treatments. ethanolic extract contained major acids as well a flavonoid, rutin.
