    Abstract: Typhoid fever still continues to be a major public health problem, particularly in many developing countries. A simple, reliable, affordable and rapid diagnostic test has been a long-felt need of the clinicians. We, therefore, prospectively evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of Typhidot (IgM), a serological test to identify IgM antibodies against Salmonella typhi. The study was carried out in the department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh between June, 2006 and July, 2007, on a total of 100 samples from clinically suspected patients to have typhoid fever. Blood culture as well as Typhidot test were performed for each of the cases. Out of 100 clinically diagnosed typhoid fever, 14 were blood culture positive for S. typhi and 73 were Typhidot (IgM) positive. Among 14 culture positive cases, 13 (92.85%) were Typhidot (IgM) positive. The test was also positive in 04 (20%) out of 20 febrile controls. None of the healthy controls was positive by Typhidot (IgM). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the test using blood culture as gold standard were 92.85%, 90.00%, 76.47% and 97.29% respectively for typhoid fever. Typhidot (IgM) test is rapid, easy to perform and reliable test for diagnosing typhoid fever, and useful for small, less equipped laboratories as well as for the laboratories with better facilities.

    Abstract: Puerperal sepsis is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. This study was undertaken to isolate and identify the Aerobic bacterial agents of Puerperal sepsis among the patients admitted in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital during the period from July, 2006 to June, 2007. Endocervical swabs/secretions were collected from 50 cases of Puerperal sepsis and were cultured aerobically. Out of 50 samples, 42 (84%) yielded growth in cultures. Among 42 culture positive cases, 20 (40%) were Aerobic organisms and 22 (44%) were mixed, i.e., Aerobic and Anaerobic bacteria. The isolated Aerobic organisms were Staphylococcus aureus (26, 61.90%), Escherichia coli (6, 14.28%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (5, 11.90%), Streptococcus pyogenes (3, 7.14%) and Enterococcus faecalis (2, 4.76%). The organisms were identified by standard biochemical tests. All isolates of S.aureus and S. epidermidis were sensitive to Cephalexin and Vancomycin. Similarly all the strains of E. coli were sensitive to Gentamicin, Amikacin, Ciprofloxacin and Cephalexin. All the strains of S. pyogenes were sensitive to Amoxicillin and all the isolates of Enterococcus were sensitive to Amoxicillin and Cephalexin.Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2008; 02 (01): 22-27DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v2i1.21785

    Abstract: The study was done to detect different exotoxins among the strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated in the department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College in collaboration with the Department of Medicine under the Faculty of Veterinary Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh between the periods from July, 2006 to June, 2007. A total of 40 S. aureus isolates investigated in this study were identified by standard microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates to Oxacillin was carried out by disk diffusion method as per recommendation of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. Any isolate showing resistance to Oxacillin was tested again by agar dilution method to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Methicillin. All strains were also tested for mecA gene by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for confirmation of Methicillin resistance. Enterotoxin (A-D) and Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) were detected by Reverse Passive Latex Agglutination (RPLA) test. Out of 40 S. aureus isolates, 7 (17.5%) Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA), 1 (2.5%) Methicillin Sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) produced Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A (SE-A) and 1 MRSA isolate was positive for TSST-1. In case of combined toxin production among the S. aureus isolates, 2 (5%) MSSA were found to produce SE-A and SE-B, 2 (5%) MSSA produced SE-C and SE-D, and 1 (2.5%) MRSA, 1 (2.5%) MSSA produced SE-C and TSST-1.Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2008; 02 (02): 3-6

    Abstract: Soft, succulent and readily decomposable Sesbania biomass is one of the best sources of organic matter and nitrogen for improvement of poor, nutrient deficit soils. To select high biomass yielding Sesbania accession(s), an experiment was conducted at Field Laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, following a randomized complete block design with three replications. Seeds of 105 accessions from 3 Sesbania species—S. sesban, S. bispinosa and S. cannabina, were sown in the field @ 60 kg/ha on 23 April 2016. The unit plot size was 3 × 2 m2 with a spacing of 50 cm (row-row) × 15 cm (plant-plant). Data on different yield descriptors were recorded at every 10 day intervals up to 60 days after sowing (DAS). Sesbania sesban produced higher biomass yield at the early growth stages (up to 20 DAS), however, S. bispinosa produced higher biomass at the later stages followed by S. cannabina and S. sesban. Therefore, S. sesban can be grown in a very short rotation [Boro rice-(dhaincha)-Jute-T. Aman rice-Mustard and/or Boro rice-(dhaincha)-T. Aus rice-T. Aman rice-Mustard]; and S. bispinosa for a longer period [Boro rice-(dhaincha)-T. Aman rice-Mustard] to maximize organic matter addition to the soil. Ten accessions of S. bispinosa performed better and produced biomass above 30 g/plant (c. 80 t/ha) within 60 DAS. These accessions could be selected for further study for their decomposability, organic matter accumulation, N2-fixing ability and may be processed to release as recommended cultivar(s).J.

    Abstract: Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) comprise a heterogeneous group of rare inherited diseases in which the neuromuscular transmission in the motor plate is compromised by one or more genetic pathophysiological specific mechanisms are characterized by fatigable weakness of skeletal muscle (e.g., ocular, bulbar, limb muscles) with onset at or shortly after birth or in early childhood; rarely, symptoms may not manifest until later in childhood. The diagnosis of CMS is based on clinical findings, a decremental EMG response of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) on low-frequency (2- 3 Hz) stimulation, absence of anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and anti-MuSK antibodies in the serum, a positive response to acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inhibitors and lack of improvement of clinical symptoms with immunosuppressive therapy. Pathogenic variants in one of multiple genes encoding proteins expressed at the neuromuscular junction are currently known to be associated with subtypes of CMS. The most commonly associated genes include: CHAT, CHRNE, COLQ, DOK7, GFPT1 and RAPSN. We studied on a sibling presented with progressive fatigability and fluctuating ptosis with frequent exacerbations of muscle weakness during infections since infancy. On both cases CT scan of chest were negative for thymoma, antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and the muscle specific kinase (MuSK) were negative and decremental response on electrophysiological study of Repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) and EMG were consistent with disease of neuromuscular junction (post synaptic) and they were only on pyridostigmine for long time with marked improvement of symptoms and signs. Considering all scenario both of our cases mostly fits with the autosomal recessive, post synaptic CMS associated with Rapsyn deficiency. Objective : As in Bangladesh, there is inadequate data on the epidemiological profile of CMS, our aim is to describe these cases for their rarity and the difficulty encountered in diagnosis as they are easily confused with Juvenile Myasthenia Gravis (JMG) and familial myopathies. As both the cases are very rare, it should be an original article. Bangladesh Journal of Neuroscience 2019; Vol. 35 (2): 95-103

    Abstract: Background & objective: Uterine fibroid (UF) is the most common gynaecological neoplasm. Despite the major public health impact of UF, little is known about their association. Some studies focused on the similarities between the common biological mechanisms underlying the development of UF and atherosclerotic plaques. So, it is possible to hypothesize that same atherogenic risk factors, such as dyslipidemia may play a role in UF pathogenesis. This study was carried out to investigate the lipid profile in patients with UF and to analyze the association of dyslipidemia with UF. Materials & Methods: This case-control study was carried out in the outpatient and inpatient Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, BSMMU, Shahbag, Dhaka over a period of 12 months between March 2017 to February 2018. Participants were 100 in number and aged between 18 and 45 years. Cases consisted of 50 women with uterine fibroids diagnosed by ultrasonography attending the outpatient and inpatient department of obstetrics and gynaecology, BSMMU, having no previous hormonal treatment. A similar number of age matched women without UF visiting the same gynaecological outpatient clinic for routine reasons were recruited as controls. Women who were postmenopausal, pregnant, diagnosed cases of malignant diseases, diagnosed cases of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, CLD and CKD and women undergoing hormonal therapy were excluded from the study. Fasting lipid profiles were determined in blood samples taken from each participant. Atherogenic index was also calculated. Chi-square test was used for testing statistical significance. Statistical significance was set at p 〈 0⋅05. Results: Women with UF were found to have significantly higher levels of serum TC, TG and significantly lower level of HDL-C compared to the controls (p 〈 0.05). The mean atherogenic index was 4.30±1.41 in case group and 2.86±0.97 in control group. The difference was statistically significant (p 〈 0.05) between two groups. Conclusion: There is an association between dyslipidemia and UF. Women with UF have higher atherogenic index compared to women without UF. TAJ 2020; 33(2): 100-106
