Examine Vaping Behavior, Perception and Experience of E-cigarette Smokers in Bangladesh: A Cross Sectional Study During Covid 19
In the past few years, E-cigarettes (or vaping) are getting the popularity among the youth in Bangladesh. This is critical as it
may lead to an increase in the number of smokers in future. The study aimed to identify the trend of E-cigarette smoking,
habitual pattern of E-cigarette smokers, and their perception and experiences of health hazards. A cross-sectional mixed
methods study was conducted from April to November 2020 in Dhaka and Chittagong cities. A total of 370 E-cigarette
smoker aged 18 and above years, were surveyed face-to-face using a semi-structured questionnaire
Transgenic Expression of Sugarcane Mosaic Virus VPg in Maize Inbred Line CML444 Confers Resistance to Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease
Maize is the most important crop in Kenya and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, yields are below potential due to abiotic and biotic constraints. One of the major biotic concerns is maize lethal necrosis disease (MLN), which causes up to
100% yield losses. MLN is caused by the synergistic infection of two viruses, Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and a potyvirus, commonly Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV)
A Single-Center Experience in Alport Syndrome
Alport Syndrome is a hereditary condition that affects the collagen in the basement membrane and is characterized by microscopic hematuria, sensorineural hearing loss, increasing renal dysfunction, and ocular abnormalities. It is
more common between the ages of 20 and 30. Men and women are equally affected. However, the prognosis of men is
worse than women due to renal failure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the demographic and clinical findings of patients with Alport Syndrome in our center
Which Blood Group is More Anemic: Five Years of Retrospective Experience
The relationship between blood groups and diseases has been a subject of interest for many researchers. This study
aims to investigate the susceptibility of each blood group to anemia based on the relationship between the erythrocyte indices and the biochemical parameters used to diagnose anemia.
Explorations of the Combined Effects of Surface Energy, Initial Stress and Nonlocality on the Dynamic Behaviour of Carbon Nanotubes Conveying Fluid Resting on Elastic Foundations in a Thermo-Magnetic Environment
The vibrations of carbon nanotubes under the influences of various internal and external forces have been subjects of interests
for some years. These researches have not really considered the effects of surface energy and initial stress which are very
important from both material and mechanical aspects of views. Therefore, the current study presents the simultaneous
impacts of surface energy, initial stress and nonlocality and other various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of carbon
nanotube hot fluid-conveying resting on elastic foundations in a magnetic environment. The derived equations governing the
behaviours are solved using Galerkin’s decomposition-Adomian decomposition method is adopted to explore the concurrent
impacts of surface elasticity, initial stress, residual surface tension and nonlocality on the nonlinear vibration of singlewalled carbon conveying nanotube resting on linear and nonlinear elastic foundation and operating in a thermo-magnetic
environment
Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis after Ceftriaxone Exposure: A Case Report and Literature Revie
Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis (LCV) characterizes various small vessel vasculitis types primarily affecting the skin, with occasional internal organ involvement. This inflammation involves immune-complex deposition within dermal capillaries and
venues. Although idiopathic in origin, potential triggers, including antibiotic-related factors, must be considered. LCV presents across a spectrum of severity, sometimes extending to ulcers. Diagnosis involves clinical assessment, history, lab tests,
and crucially, skin biopsy.
The Impact of Exploring Chromosome Philadelphia like on the Prognosis of Children and Teenager ALL
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is considered as the most common pediatric malignancy with 80% of frequency in children between 1 and 10 years old. With the evolution of science, improved diagnosis and adapted treatment, all survival rates
increased to a possibility of 80%.
Philadelphia chromosome like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-Like ALL) is a recent genetic discovery characterized by a
gene expression profile and high frequency of IKZF1 gene alteration similar to that of BCR-ABL1 positive ALL with a poor
outcome.
Prenatal Diagnosis of Hydranencephaly in a Newborn of Psychic Mother with Olanzapine and Paroxetine Exposure During The Pregnancy
Hydranencephaly is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the central nervous system, characterized by the almost total
absence of the bilateral cerebral hemispheres and replaced by cerebrospinal fluid. Almost all cases are sporadic with an
incidence of less than 1 per 10,000 births and a very poor prognosis. The exact main cause is still unknown, but
hydranencephaly is usually found to develop secondarily to the occlusion of cerebral arteries above the supraclinoid level.
We report the case of a full-term female infant with hydranencephaly diagnosed at 28 weeks of gestation by routine
antenatal intrauterine ultrasonograph
Evaluation of Weather Conditions as Well as NO2 and PM 2.5 Levels in the Urban Areas of South Brazil in Different Seasons
Due to the ever-increasing importance of studying pollution effects on environment and population, the development of methodologies for the evaluation of atmospheric pollutants has allowed great advances concerning air quality monitoring. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matters (PM2.5) have as major sources vehicle engine exhausts and industrial processes. In the municipality of Pelotas, the economical and industrial growth allied to the expansion of the local vehicle fleet have brought several impacts on human health and environment. For this region, there are few studies concerning air pollution monitoring and dispersion. Data were collected seasonally (summer, autumn, winter and spring) in eight points (Porto, Areal, Centro, Fragata, Simões Lopes, Três Vendas, Laranjal,and Capão do Leão) over the city area, aiming to have a picture of the city as a whole. Annual mean ± standard deviation of the PM2.5 measurements are: Porto 48.95±6.28, Areal 3.29±4.56, Centro 39.56±7.05, Fragata 30.28±3.59,Simões Lopes9.5±.9, Três Vendas 3.4±3.80, Laranjal 29.79±2.34, Capão do Leão 24.25±3.2 and annual mean ±standard deviation for NO2 were: Porto 9.06±.5, Areal 0.49±0.94, Centro 4.3±0.89, Fragata 2.44±0.56, Trem 7.20±0.99, Três Vendas 2.94±.22, Laranjal 8.83±.97, Capão do Leão 6.77±0.76. We conclude that there are significant differences in different places of the city, mainly due to traffic and human activities characteristics of each point. On the other hand, meteorological factors act similarly in all sites concerning the pollution dispersion.
An Unexpected Diagnosis of Plasmacytoma of The Thyroid: A Case Report and Review of The Literature
Plasmacytoma is a malignant proliferation of plasma cells that can arise in the bone marrow (osseous) and in the soft tissues. Extramedullary plasmacytomas most commonly occur in the upper respiratory tract. Thyroid involvement is rare. In this report, we describe a new case plasmacytoma of the thyroid gland in a 60-year-old man with a history of multinodular goiter present for several years and an unexpected rapid increase of the mass associated to dysphagia, dyspnea, and dysphonia. Histopathological examination of surgical specimen, along with immunohistochemical studies, unexpectedly led to the diagnosis of plasmacytoma.
We also briefly summarize the last 30 years of literature on thyroid plasmacytoma and review the salient characteristics of this rare condition.
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis (RPGN): A New Persuasion
Dengue is a prevalent arthropod-borne viral disease in tropical and subtropical areas of the globe. Dengue clinical manifestations include asymptomatic infections; undifferentiated fever; dengue fever, which is characterized by fever, headache,
retro orbital pain, myalgia, and arthralgia; and a severe form of the disease denominated dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome, characterized by hemoconcentration, thrombocytopenia, and bleeding tendency. However, atypical
manifestations, such as liver, central nervous system, and cardiac involvement, have been increasingly reported called
expanded dengue syndrome. The renal complications of dengue virus infection cover a wide spectrum of manifestations
from acute kidney injury to glomerular injury with nephritic/nephrotic syndrome. Majority of cases remain symptom
free and show full recovery. We report a 55 years old lady with atypical and rare presentation of dengue disease marked by
rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Condition improved after initial 5 days pulse methylprednisolone followed by oral
prednisolone therapy and mycophenolate mofetil. The main mechanism of dengue glomerulonephritis is still unknown
though both direct viral infection and immune mediated damage have been suggested to be the cause. To avoid otherwise
preventable morbidity and mortality, physicians should have a high index of suspicion for renal complications in patients
with dengue illness and should manage this accordingly

Objectives: The goal is to measure the effect of pesticides on blood parameters among exposures compared to healthy individuals using the analysis of complete blood count. And to correlate between duration of work according to age and gender.
Materials and Methods: 3 ml of intravenous blood samples were collected from 500 participants, 400 samples from men and 100 samples from women aged between 20-65 years, majority were dealers and the rest of them were working at farms and the structural questionnaire was used.
Results: The results of these study show marked increase in red blood cells and absolute lymphocytes count accompanied by decreased in platelets count, platelets distribution width, mean platelets volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration and red cells distribution width upon exposures to pesticides for long time.
Conclusion: this study concluded that there is decrease in PLTs count, PDW, MPV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, and an increase in RBCs count and absolute lymphocytes count among pesticides exposures.
Chronic Exposure to Artificial Light Spectra at night alter Neurobehaviour and Neurotransmitter levels in Albino Rats
Artificial light at night has been reported to have significant effects on the physiology and behaviour of animals by its impact on their circadian rhythm. This study investigated the effect of artificial light spectra at night on neurotransmitter activities and neurobehavioural changes in the albino rat. Blue (470 nm) and red (665 nm) lights were used; with ambient
light and darkness serving as positive and negative controls, respectively. The rats were exposed to daylight from 6 am to 6 pm and 12 hours of artificial light (6 pm - 6 am) daily (light sources were 13 Watt compact florescent electric bulbs). Neurobehavioural outcomes were measured using the Open Field Test (OFT) and Morris Water Maze (MWM).
