Privileged knowledge and mothers' "perceptions": the case of breast-feeding and insufficient milk in Bangladesh
This article uses the example of breast-feeding and insufficient-milk syndrome in Bangladesh to illustrate the privileged status of professional discourse. While health professionals' discourse is given the status of scientific knowledge, ... -
Absorption of nutrients from an energy-dense diet liquefied with amylase from germinated wheat in infants with acute diarrhea
Addition of a small amount of amylase rich flour (ARF) to a thick porridge instantly liquefy the porridge and increase the energy intake even by sick children. The present study examined the absorption of macronutrients an... -
Characterization of Aeromonas spp. isolated from humans with diarrhea, from healthy controls, and from surface water in Bangladesh
Aeromonas isolates from patients with diarrhea in Bangladesh (n = 69), from healthy controls (n = 11), and from surface water (n = 40) were analyzed with respect to their hybridization groups (HGs) by the aid of ... -
Bioelectrical impedance measurements at various frequencies to estimate human body compositions
Bioelectrical impedance analyses (BIA) operating at various frequencies were used to estimate body composition parameters and compared with the biochemically determined parameters by using isotopic dilution method in 22 healthy adult (30-50&#... -
Glutamine is superior to glucose in stimulating water and electrolyte absorption across rabbit ileum
L-Glutamine is the primary metabolic fuel of the intestinal mucosa. This in vivo study compares the effect of L-glutamine 50 mM with that of D-glucose 50 mM on water and electrolyte absorption in jejunal and ileal loo... -
Zinc status of breastfed and formula-fed infants of different gestational ages
Zinc status in 186 full term and preterm infants was determined at birth, and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age along with determination of zinc levels in breast or formula milk to find out if routine zinc ... -
Early feeding of an energy dense diet during acute shigellosis enhances growth in malnourished children
In a controlled clinical trial, we examined the effect of the short-term feeding of an energy-dense milk cereal formula in malnourished children with clinically severe dysentery due to acute shigellosis. Seventy-five malnourished childre... -
Effect of early vitamin A supplementation on cell-mediated immunity in infants younger than 6 mo
One hundred twenty infants were randomly assigned to receive either 15 mg vitamin A or placebo with each of three DPT/OPV (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus/oral polio vaccine) immunizations at monthly intervals. Sixty-two received... -
Hyperglycemia during childhood diarrhea
To determine the cause of hyperglycemia in childhood diarrhea. METHODS: During an 8-month period, patients admitted to a diarrhea treatment center in Bangladesh had their blood glucose concentrations determined. Sixteen patients aged 2&#... -
Circulating antibodies to common food antigens in Japanese children with IDDM
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the humoral immune response to common food antigens in Japanese children with IDDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: IgG antibodies to cow's milk, beta-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin&#... -
A systemic downregulation of gamma interferon production is associated with acute shigellosis
Production of cytokines by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Shigella-infected patients was assessed. The frequencies of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), TNF-beta, and transforming growth factor beta mRNA-expressing cells were persis... -
Flood control embankments contribute to the improvement of the health status of children in rural Bangladesh
Every year, Bangladesh experiences major floods that inundate about one-third of the country. Therefore, flood control projects that comprise earthen dikes and irrigation/drainage systems are built along the major rivers to protect ... -
Infection with colonization factor antigen I-expressing enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli boosts antibody responses against heterologous colonization factors in primed subjects
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) adhere to the intestinal mucosa by a number of fimbrial colonization factors (CFs) that have been claimed to induce only type-specific immunity. However, adult Bangladeshi patients infected with CF... -
Reasons for failure of breast-feeding counselling: mothers' perspectives in Bangladesh
During the hospitalization in the Dhaka hospital of the international Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, of a group of partially breast-fed infants aged 1-12 weeks who had been admitted with acute diarrhoea, their&#... -
Spatial distribution of watery diarrhoea in children: identification of "risk areas" in a rural community in Bangladesh
To assess the geographic variation of acute watery diarrhoea in children 0 to 5 years old in rural Bangladesh, all cases of "cholera-like" diarrhoea were plotted on the map. A clustering pattern was noticed, and ... -
The role of food in the epidemiology of cholera
Cholera is an acute dehydrating diarrhoeal disease, traditionally caused by vibrio cholerae O1, and also more recently by V. cholerae O139 (Bengal). Traditionally, water was recognized as the primary vehicle for transmission of chol... -
Characterization of filamentous phages of Vibrio cholerae O139 and O1
We have analyzed our collection of Vibrio cholerae O139 strains to determine whether filamentous phages are produced in their culture supernatants, and whether any replicative form of DNA is detectable in cell lysates. Two type...
