Detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli by DNA colony hybridization
A method fo detecting large numbers of isolates of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is described in which the genes encoding th enterotoxins are detected, rather than the toxins themselves. Radiolabeled fragments of DNA encoding the... -
Breast-feeding and food intake among children with acute diarrheal disease
To quantitate reduced food intake during diarrhea and to assess possible means of promoting such intake, the 24-hr food and breast milk intakes of 41 children 6 to 35 months divided into three groups were measured. Th... -
Infant feeding practices in rural Meheran, Comilla, Bangladesh
Since 1930 breast-feeding has declined worldwide. Differences exist in breast-feeding practices between developed and developing countries and between urban and rural people. In order to define the breast-feeding practices in Bangladesh, we&#... -
A two-year study of bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents associated with diarrhea in rural Bangladesh
Enteric pathogens associated with diarrhea were studied for two years at a diarrhea treatment center in rural Bangladesh. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was the most frequently identified pathogen for patients of all ages. ... -
Composition and immunochemical properties of outer membrane proteins of Vibrio cholerae
The protein compositions of the outer membranes of various Vibrio cholerae strains, belonging to both biotypes (El Tor and classical) and both serotypes (Ogawa and Inaba), were analyzed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide slab gels... -
Binding of intraluminal toxin in cholera: trial of GM1 ganglioside charcoal
A study was undertaken to investigate whether toxin produced in the gut lumen contributes significantly to clinical illness and whether binding such toxin by GM1 ganglioside adsorbed onto charcoal could alter the clinical course... -
Absorption of macronutrients from a rice-vegetable diet before and after treatment of ascariasis in children
The apparent absorption of nitrogen (N), fat, and total energy from a rice and vegetable diet was measured in 13 children of similar nutritional status but infected with varying loads of Ascaris lumbricoides. Apparent N ab... -
Use of antisera for identification of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
The usual methods for identifying enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains involve testing for production of heat-labile enterotoxins. To simplify the identification of ETEC, antisera against common ETEC O serogropus were used to ... -
Anthropometric assessment of energy-protein malnutrition and subsequent risk of mortality among preschool aged children
This paper examines the usefulness of various anthropometric classification systems of nutritional status in prognosticating the subsequent risk of mortality among 2019 children aged 13 to 23 months residing in a rural area of ... -
Immunological properties of the cell envelope components of Vibrio cholerae
Several immunobiological properties of cell envelope components of Vibrio cholerae such as mitogenicity, antigenicity, adjuvanticity and toxicity were tested in mice. Killed whole bacteria, spheroplasts, lipopolysaccharide and outer membrane proteins&#... -
Detection of Escherichia coli enterotoxins in stools
We determined whether enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhea could be diagnosed by direct examination of stools for heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins. The Y-1 adrenal cell and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)&#... -
Immunobead enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantitating immunoglobulin A in human secretions and serum
We have developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for quantitating human immunoglobulin A in human secretions and serum. The procedure uses Immunobeads as the solid phase, has a sensitivity of 10 ng/ml, and can be com... -
Assessing menstrual regulation performed by paramedics in rural Bangladesh
Describes and evaluates the performance of menstrual regulation by Bagladeshi lady family planning visitors in a clinic in Matlab and in 4 subcenter clinics. The feasibility of using menstrual regulation to evacuate uterine contents... -
Contraceptive distribution in Bangladesh: some lessons learned
In 1975 the Cholera Research Laboratory began a contraceptive distribution program in 150 rural villages in Matlab than to confirm that an unmet demand exists and to assess to what degree it could be met by making... -
Isolation of Vibrio-like group, EF-6, from patients with diarrhea
The Vibrio-like organism EF-6 was isolated from more than 500 patients with diarrhea in Bangladesh between October 1976 and June 1977. Bacteriological studies indicate that EF-6 is a member of the family Vibrionaceae and that&#...
