Abstract OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effects of zinc supplementation in the prevention of diarrhea and pneumonia with the use of a pooled analysis of randomized controlled trials in children in developing ... -
A comprehensive assessment of the quality of immunization services in one major area of Dhaka City, Bangladesh
This report assesses the quality of service inputs, service processes and service outcomes (with the exception of coverage and effectiveness) for immunization services in Zone 3 of Dhaka City. The results indicate that in gener... -
Analysis of clinical and environmental strains of nontoxigenic Vibrio cholerae for susceptibility to CTXPhi: molecular basis for origination of new strains with epidemic potential
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains are lysogens of CTXPhi, a filamentous phage which encodes cholera toxin. The receptor for CTXPhi for invading V. cholerae cells is the toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), the genes for which reside ... -
Epidemiology, genetics, and ecology of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae
Cholera caused by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae is a major public health problem confronting developing countries, where outbreaks occur in a regular seasonal pattern and are particularly associated with poverty and poor sanitation. The ... -
Impact of zinc supplementation on persistent diarrhoea in malnourished Bangladeshi children
To evaluate the impact of zinc supplementation on the clinical recovery and body weight of children with persistent diarrhoea, a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was conducted in 190 children with persistent diarrhoea aged ... -
Inconsistencies in the findings of child nutrition surveys in Bangladesh
The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has been conducting nutrition surveys of young children at 2-3-y intervals since 1985. However, data on malnutrition determined on the basis of weight-for-age and height-for-age in different ... -
Successful treatment of rotavirus diarrhea in children with immunoglobulin from immunized bovine colostrum
Oral ingestion of immunoglobulins in humans has been shown to be effective as prophylaxis against enteric infections. However, its therapeutic effect in children with infectious diarrhea has hitherto not been proven. We treated chil... -
The contraceptive potential of lactation for Bangladeshi women
In Bangladesh, long durations of intensive breast-feeding have traditionally resulted in extended durations of postpartum amenorrhea and long intervals between births even in the absence of contraception. For example, the national Bangladesh&... -
Folic acid in the treatment of acute watery diarrhoea in children: a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial
One-hundred and six male children aged 6-23 months with a history of acute watery diarrhoea of less than 72 h duration were randomized to receive either folic acid in a dose of 5 mg at 8-h intervals or place... -
Predictors of serum retinol in children with shigellosis
Low serum retinol can be useful as an indicator of depleted liver vitamin A stores, particularly in population-based studies. However, serum retinol concentrations decrease transiently during infection, independent of any changes in live... -
Urinary retinol excretion and kidney function in children with shigellosis
Acute infections, including diarrhea, are associated with an increased risk of vitamin A deficiency. Urinary retinol excretion during such infections may contribute to this risk. The mechanism accounting for urinary retinol loss has ... -
Helicobacter pylori colonization in infants and young children is not necessarily associated with diarrhoea
A cohort of 151 infants and young children aged 1-23 months from a poor peri-urban community of Bangladesh was studied to determine the relationship between Helicobacter pylori colonization and morbidity due to diarrhoea. A 13C... -
Increased height gain of children fed a high-protein diet during convalescence from shigellosis: a six-month follow-Up study
The impact of dietary supplementation on catch-up growth was evaluated in 69 malnourished children ages 24-60 mo after recovery from shigellosis. They were fed either a high-protein (HP) diet with 15% of energy as protein, ...
