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... -
Resolution of protein-losing hypertrophic gastropathy by eradication of Helicobacter pylori
There is as yet no consensus about the need for treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections, except for H. pylori-associated peptic ulcer. We present a 3-year-old boy with a 3-month history of oedema and hypoproteinaemia associ... -
Health behavior, perceptions, practices, and decision making: sub-national and socio-demographic differentials in Bangladesh, 1995
The study examines health behavior, perceptions, practices, and decision making using data from the 1995 Health and Demographic Survey conducted by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. Knowledge about causes of diarrhea and food con... -
Death in a diarrhoeal cohort of infants and young children soon after discharge from hospital: risk factors and causes by verbal autopsy
Assessing mortality pattern of children after discharge from hospital is important to guide appropriate management policy. We studied young children aged 1-23 months, who were discharged from an urban Diarrhoea Treatment Hospital. Childr... -
Sociodemographic, hygienic and nutritional correlates of Helicobacter pylori infection of young Bangladeshi children
By the age of 10 years most children in developing countries have been infected by Helicobacter pylori Identification of clues to modes of transmission of this organism to children, as well as evaluation of the sequelae&#x... -
Cloning and sequence of a region of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal and its use in PCR-based detection
We isolated and characterized a Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal-specific DNA region by arbitrary PCR. The fragment contains open reading frames encoding two potential glycosyltransferases possibly involved in capsular polysaccharide or lipopolysacchar...
