Body mass index, height, weight, arm circumference, and mortality in rural Bangladeshi women: a 19-y longitudinal study
Abstract BACKGROUND: Studies in Western populations report a J- or U-shaped relation between body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)) and mortality, in which persons with extremes of BMI experience increased mortality. I... -
Children born in the summer have increased risk for coeliac disease
Abstract STUDY OBJECTIVE: Coeliac disease, also called permanent gluten sensitive enteropathy, is being recognised as a widespread health problem. Defining the possible role of environmental factors in its aetiology might o... -
Death from drowning: defining a new challenge for child survival in Bangladesh
Abstract The study focuses on children less than 5 years old and explores the epidemiological profile and correlates of drowning as a challenge to child survival in Bangladesh. Two data sources from Bangladesh, a&#... -
Serologic evidence of dengue infection before onset of epidemic, Bangladesh
Abstract Dengue fever emerged in Bangladesh in 2000. We tested 225 serum samples from febrile patients and 184 blood donors in 1996 and 1997 for dengue antibodies; 55 (24.4% ) febrile patients had dengue antib... -
A community-based randomized controlled trial of iron and zinc supplementation in Indonesian infants: interactions between iron and zinc
Abstract BACKGROUND: Combined supplementation with iron and zinc during infancy may be effective in preventing deficiencies of these micronutrients, but knowledge of their potential interactions when given together is insufficie... -
Effects of weaning cereals with different phytate contents on hemoglobin, iron stores, and serum zinc: a randomized intervention in infants from 6 to 12 mo of age
Abstract BACKGROUND: Weaning foods frequently contain phytate, an inhibitor of iron and zinc absorption, which may contribute to the high prevalence of iron and zinc deficiency seen in infancy. OBJECTIVE: ... -
Association of cytolethal distending toxin locus cdtB with enteropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from patients with acute diarrhea in Calcutta, India
Abstract Among Escherichia coli strains isolated from stool specimens from patients with acute diarrhea, 1.4% were found to harbor cdtB by use of enrichment cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) PCR. These isolates were ide... -
Relative efficiency of government and non-government organisations in implementing a nutrition intervention programme--a case study from Bangladesh
Abstract OBJECTIVE: The Bangladesh Integrated Nutrition Programme (BINP) experimented with two models of delivery: the first model uses the Government of Bangladesh's (GOB) own management structure and the second uses t... -
Distribution of the usp gene in uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from companion animals and correlation with serotypes and size-variations of the pathogenicity island
Abstract Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli(UPEC) is a serious problem not only among humans but also in companion animals such as dogs and cats. The uropathogenic specific&#... -
Women's status and domestic violence in rural Bangladesh: individual- and community-level effects
Abstract We explore the determinants of domestic violence in two rural areas of Bangladesh. We found increased education, higher socioeconomic status, non-Muslim religion, and extended family residence to be associated with ... -
One-step immunochromatographic dipstick tests for rapid detection of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 in stool samples
Abstract We describe the development and evaluation of a rapid diagnostic test for Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 based on lipopolysaccharide detection using gold particles. The specificity ranged between 84 and 100%. The&... -
Antigen-specific immunoglobulin A antibodies secreted from circulating B cells are an effective marker for recent local immune responses in patients with cholera: comparison to antibody-secreting cell responses and other immunological markers
Abstract Gut-derived lymphocytes transiently migrate through the peripheral circulation before homing back to mucosal sites and can be detected using an ELISPOT-based antibody secreting cell (ASC) assay. Alternatively, transiently cir... -
Safety and immunogenicity of an oral, inactivated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli plus cholera toxin B subunit vaccine in Bangladeshi children 18-36 months of age
Abstract A phase II safety and immunogenicity study of an oral-formalin inactivated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) vaccine containing six colonization factors (CFA/I, CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5) and 1mg of recombinant&... -
Adaptive and inflammatory immune responses in patients infected with strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Abstract In patients with diarrhea caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, antibody-secreting cell responses to thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and whole-cell bacteria were seen. TDH- and LPS-specific responses we... -
DNA-level characterization of Helicobacter pylori strains from patients with overt disease and with benign infections in Bangladesh
Abstract The complex relation between the genotype of Helicobacter pylori and its association with clinical outcome is not well understood. Studies in the West have showed that strains expressing certain virulence factors&#x... -
Sexually transmitted infections prevalence rates in slum communities of Dhaka, Bangladesh
Abstract The study objective was to estimate the prevalence of selected sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and associated factors among Dhaka slum dwellers. Blood and urine specimens were collected from 1534 men and ... -
Persistence of mucosal mast cells and eosinophils in Shigella-infected children
Abstract Cells of the innate immune system and their mediators were studied at the single-cell level in the rectums of pediatric and adult patients with Shigella infection to better understand why children are at&#...
