Shifting away from doorstep distribution of contraceptives in urban Bangladesh: effects on discontinuation and acceptance of family planning
This paper examined the effects of alternative service-delivery strategies with regard to dropouts among the current pill and condom users who, before the intervention, were supplied with the methods by the fieldworkers at their... -
The effect of poverty, social inequity, and maternal education on infant mortality in Nicaragua, 1988-1993
This study assessed the effect of poverty and social inequity on infant mortality risks in Nicaragua from 1988 to 1993 and the preventive role of maternal education. METHODS: A cohort analysis of infant survival, based on&... -
The impact of co-resident spouses and sons on elderly mortality in rural Bangladesh
This paper uses prospective data from the Matlab surveillance system in rural Bangladesh to demonstrate that initially co-resident spouses and sons have a major impact on the subsequent mortality of old people, with significant ... -
Induction of artificial fat maldigestion by tetrahydrolipstatin assessed by the (13)C-hiolein breath test in healthy volunteers. A double-blind controlled pilot study
(13)C-hiolein is a purified algal triglyceride which is synthesized with 98% of all carbon atoms of the molecule uniformly (13)C-labeled. Orlistat is the new name for tetrahydrolipstatin (THL), which is a specific and potent in... -
Contamination of drinking-water by arsenic in Bangladesh: a public health emergency
The contamination of groundwater by arsenic in Bangladesh is the largest poisoning of a population in history, with millions of people exposed. This paper describes the history of the discovery of arsenic in drinking-water in&#... -
Perinatal mortality attributable to complications of childbirth in Matlab, Bangladesh
Very few population-based studies of perinatal mortality in developing countries have examined the role of intrapartum risk factors. In the present study, the proportion of perinatal deaths that are attributable to complications during&#... -
Treatment of enterotoxigenic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli-induced diarrhoea in children with bovine immunoglobulin milk concentrate from hyperimmunized cows: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial
BACKGROUND: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are important causes of diarrhoea in young children and are associated with significant mortality rates. Passive immunization with antibodies&... -
Identification of novel VirR/VirS-regulated genes in Clostridium perfringens
Novel genes that are regulated in Clostridium perfringens by the two-component regulatory system, VirR/VirS, were identified using a differential display method. A plasmid library was constructed from C. perfringens chromosomal DNA, and&... -
Association between clinical type of diarrhoea and growth of children under 5 years in rural Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: The role of diarrhoea in the aetiology of growth retardation in young children remains controversial. To evaluate this, a population-based, longitudinal study of young children aged 6-48 months was conducted in&#... -
Genomic diversity among Vibrio cholerae O139 strains isolated in Bangladesh and India between 1992 and 1998
In order to assess the extent of genomic diversity among Vibrio cholerae O139 strains, restriction fragment length polymorphisms in two genetic loci, rrn and ctx, were studied. Analysis of 144 strains isolated from different re... -
Effect of an energy-dense diet on the clinical course of acute shigellosis in undernourished children
To date there have been few reports on the impact of dietary intervention on the clinical course of acute shigellosis. Current management of acute shigellosis is primarily focused on antibiotic therapy with less emphasis on... -
Human antibody response to longus type IV pilus and study of its prevalence among enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in Bangladesh by using monoclonal antibodies
Mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were derived against longus (CS20), a type IV pilus expressed by human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). One MAb (ICA39) detected longus in 56 (8.5%) of 662 ETEC isolates obtained from ... -
Enterotoxin-specific immunoglobulin E responses in humans after infection or vaccination with diarrhea-causing enteropathogens
Cholera toxin (CT)-specific antibody responses of the immunoglobulin E (IgE) isotype in the sera of adult patients suffering from infection with either Vibrio cholerae O1, V. cholerae O139, or enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) ... -
Disease-dependent changes in T-cell populations in patients with shigellosis
In shigellosis, bacterial infection is associated with an extensive inflammation of the rectal mucosa, resulting in bloody dysentery. The role of T-cell-mediated pro-inflammatory mechanisms has been implicated in this process, but the sp... -
Bangladeshi rural mothers prepare safer rice oral rehydration solution
Mothers in rural Bangladesh were trained to prepare and use either Rice-ORS (R-ORS) or Glucose-ORS (G-ORS) solutions to treat children with diarrhoea. Families were provided with either G-ORS or R-ORS of the same electrolyte co... -
Deaths attributable to childbearing in Matlab, Bangladesh: indirect causes of maternal mortality questioned
Little is known about the nature of diseases aggravated by pregnancy or the magnitude of mortality from causes indirectly related to pregnancy. This study aims at clarifying the contribution of indirect causes to maternal morta...
