    Abstract: The 2017 political violence against the Rohingya people in the state of Rakhine resulted in a large influx of displaced populations into Bangladesh. Given harsh conditions and experiences in Myanmar, and the harrowing journey to the border, raised levels of child neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and mental health problems were expected. Methods A team of child development professionals, physicians, psychologists, and developmental therapists screened 622 children in clinics within the refugee camps using the Developmental Screening Questionnaire (DSQ; 0– 〈 2 years), and the Ten Questions Plus (TQP) for NDDs, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ; 2–16 years) for mental health problems. Any child positive on the DSQ or the TQP was assessed for NDDs. Results Only 4.8% children aged 0– 〈 2 years and 7.3% children aged 〉 2–16 years screened positive for NDDs, comparable with a local Bangladesh population. However, 52% of children were in the abnormal range for emotional symptoms on the SDQ, and 25% abnormal for peer problems. Significant risk factors were being parentless and having lost one or more family members in the recent crisis. Conclusions This screening study provides objective evidence of the urgent need for psychosocial support of Rohingya children within camps, with special attention to those without parents, including monitoring of their well‐being and counselling of families and other care providers.

    Abstract: Caesalpinia bonducella is an oilseed that is indigenous to Pakistan. The hexane‐extracted oil content from the seed kernel was 17.3 ± 1.0% DM (dry matter). The proximate analysis of C . bonducella seed estimated protein, fiber and ash contents to be 20.8 ± 1.4, 5.3 ± 1.0 and 4.6 ± 0.8%, respectively. Trace metals were determined comparable to commonly consumed legume seeds. α‐Tocopherol was the predominant tocopherol ranging from 345.10 to 460.21 mg/kg of oil, followed by γ‐ and δ‐tocopherol. The major sterols were β‐sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, Δ5‐avenasterol, Δ7‐stigmastenol and Δ7 avenasterol. The kernel oil was found to contain a high level of linoleic acid (72.7 ± 1.0%) followed by oleic, stearic and palmitic acids. The high percentage of linoleic acid revealed that this oil is a potential source for the manufacture of cosmetics, paints, varnishes, soaps, liquid soaps and other products including biodiesel. These investigations suggest that C . bonducella oil is potentially an important dietary source of essential fatty acids and protein which could be employed for edible and commercial applications in various industries of Pakistan.

    Abstract: Introduction: Neonatal jaundice is one of the most common morbidities observed during the neonatal period. Several risk factors are responsible for this condition. Objective: This study was aimed to determine the possible risk factors and immediate outcome for jaundice in newborns. Methods: This case control study was performed over a period of 18 months (March 2019 -August 2020) in the Special Care Newborn Unit (SCANU) of Dr. M R Khan Shishu Hospital & Institute of Child Health (ICH). Risk factors for jaundice were evaluated by comparing cases with jaundice and controls having no jaundice. Results: A total of 230 neonates with jaundice and 250 neonates having no jaundice were enrolled. Maternal age between 31-40 years, less than 4 antenatal visits, primi, presence of maternal diabetes, babies born via caesarian section, small for gestational age, prematurity and intra-uterine growth restriction were significantly associated with jaundice in neonates (p value 〈 0.05). Multi-variate analysis revealed, babies with mothers having 〈 4 antenatal visits were found to have 13 times more risk of developing jaundice than their matched controls (p= 0.00, CI= 0.78-14.9). Mean duration of phototherapy was longer for babies having jaundice due to blood group incompatibilities (4.82 ± 1.94). Most of the patients (91%) were discharged to home. Conclusion: Less than four antenatal visit is a significant risk factor for neonates to develop significant jaundice requiring treatment. Babies with blood group incompatibilities tend to require longer duration of phototherapy wherever most of the babies discharged to home with good recovery. DS (Child) H J 2021; 37(2): 109-115

    Abstract: Introduction: Late-onset neonatal sepsis is one of the most common causes of neonatal deaths in hospital as well as community in developing country like Bangladesh. It can present asmeningitis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, or gastroenteritis. Various risk factors play important role in its causation. In this study our main goal was to evaluate the risk factors of late onset neonatal sepsis in SCANU (Special Care Newborn Unit) of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in the SCANU of Dr. M.R. Khan Shishu Hospital and Institute of Child Health, Mirpur-2, Dhaka for 6 months. A total of 59 neonates with late onset sepsis in SCANU were included during the study period. Results: The socio-demographic status of the neonates with late onset sepsis shows that, most of the neonates (44.1%) were between 24 to 28 days. Also, 54.24% patients were male and 57.6% patients belong to middle economic status group. In the study, 79.7% had Cough with respiratory distress followed by 23.7% had cough only, 6.8% had fever, 52.5% had vomiting, abdominal distension, and 8.5% patients had Jaundice. Only 1.7% patients used bottles for feeding. Among neonates, the highest (49.15%) came with the risk factor of poor hygiene. The Majority (95%) of low-birthweight neonates had patchy opacity resembling pneumonia in chest x-ray. Conclusion: Poor hygiene is a high-risk factor for neonates with late onset sepsis. Bottle feeding had comparatively higher risk in developing late onset sepsis than formula feeding with spoon. Poor cord care is another risk factor. J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2022; 40: 257-262

    Abstract: This case case control study was undertaken to see if there is any association of serum Zinc level with histologically diagnosed prostatic cancer patients. Also to re-establish the importance of estimation of serum Prostate specific antigen PSA, (Total, Free and ratio between free and total) in prostate cancer patients. It was evident from the present study that serum Zinc level has got statistically significant difference between control and prostate cancer patients (p 〈 0.000),. Total PSA and ratio of free and total PSA was also significantly different between control and prostatic cancer patients (p 〈 0.04 and 0.006 respectively). However no significant difference was observed in free PSA level between this two groups (p 〈 0.282).It was concluded from the present study that serum Zinc level could be an adjuvant laboratory test in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and can be started as a routine test in case of suspected prostatic cancer. Also total PSA level and ratio of free and total PSA not free PSA should be done and correlated for diagnosis of prostate cancer.

    Abstract: The skin and related structures undergo changes during pregnancy and peurperium. They can be separated into three categories - hormone related pregnancy specific and preexisting. the physiologic changes are mainly of cosmetic importance. The pregnancy specific skin diseases have associated symptoms. Most skin conditions resolve post partum and only require symptomatic treatment. Some of them are associated with an increase in both fetal and/or maternal morbidity and mortality.Bangladesh Med J. 2015 May; 44 (2): 112-116

    Abstract: Cervical cancer is the most common prevalent cancer that continues to be a major health care problem world wide. It is still an important cause of mortality and morbidity in the developing countries. An estimated 500,000 new cases of cancer cervix and 233.000 deaths occurred in the year 2000 and almost 80% of these cases happen in the developing countries. Hospital based statistics indicated cervical cancer constitutes 22-35% of the female cancer in different areas of Bangladesh and India. A retrospective study was done in Gynaecology and Obstetric department in KMCH between January 2004 to January 2009 to see the incidence, correlation of age, parity, socioeconomic condition and clinical staging, treatment and other risks factors of carcinoma cervix. Out of total 120 diagnosed cases of cervical cancer were evaluated regarding their clinio-demographic profile, appearance of growth, clinical staging and types of treatment done . The results showed 49% of patient were in the age group of 31-40 years, 26% were in the 41-50 years group, early age at first coitus (70%), most of the patients (82%) presented with advanced stage and referred for radiotherapy or chemo radiation. One in ten female cancers diagnosed world wide are cancers of the cervix and there is seven fold variation in the incidence of cervical cancer between the different regions of the world. The Incidence of invasive cervical carcinoma can be reduced by development of health education and promotion of national screening programme such as Visual Inspection of cervix (VIA), Colposcopy and vaccination against Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV).

    Abstract: Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is still one of the important causes of maternal and fetal mortality in Bangladesh. Many researches have been done to identify a unique screening test that would predict the risk of developing PE before the classic symptoms appear. One of the most accessible and easiest screening tests is serum uric acid measurement. Numerous studies have demonstrated a relation between elevated maternal serum uric acid levels and adverse maternal and fetal outcome. Among several pathophysiologic factors the most commonly accepted explanation for hyperuricemia in PE is increased reabsorption and decreased excretion of uric acid. Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the association of serum uric acid with preeclampsia. Materials and method: A case control study was conducted in the department of Biochemistry, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011. A total number of 100 pregnant women in third trimester of pregnancy attending in Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital were selected purposively as study subjects. Among them 50 pregnant women with preeclampsia were selected as cases and 50 normal healthy pregnant women as controls. Results: Most of the study subjects were within 21 30 years of age group and mean age in case and control was 24.06±3.71 and 24.66±3.22 years respectively, which was not statistically different. Mean gestational age in case and control was 33.50±2.55 weeks and 33.60±2.95 weeks respectively, which was also not statistically different. Among the study subjects majority was primi in both groups (case 76%, contol 58%) showing no statistical significance. Majority of the subjects in both groups were irregular in their antenatal checkup (case 52%, contol 40%). Uric acid concentration was measured in all the study subjects. The mean serum uric acid concentration in cases and controls were 7.01±1.90 mg/dl and 4.55±1.63 mg/dl respectively. This difference was highly significant in statistical point of view. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia is associated with preeclampsia. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dmcj.v1i2.15918 Delta Med Col J. Jul 2013;1(2):46-50
