Fertility decline in Bangladesh: toward an understanding of major causes
Bangladesh has undergone a considerable decline in fertility, despite the absence of conditions believed to be necessary for such reproductive changes. Indeed, Bangladesh is the only one among the world's twenty poorest countries... -
Reduced osmolarity oral rehydration salt in Cholera
In a controlled clinical trial conducted in 34 adults with severe cholera diarrhoea, the use of a relatively dilute oral rehydration salt (ORS) solution (sodium 67, potassium 20, chloride 66, citrate 7, glucose 89 mmol/l,&... -
Sustainability of a water, sanitation and hygiene education project in rural Bangladesh: a 5-year follow-up
An integrated water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WSH) education intervention project was run by the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, over the period 1983-87. In the intervention area the project provid... -
Evaluation of an algorithm for the treatment of persistent diarrhoea: a multicentre study. International Working Group on Persistent Diarrhoea
Described are the findings of a multicentre cohort study to test an algorithm for the treatment of persistent diarrhoea relying on the use of locally available, inexpensive foods, vitamin and mineral supplementation, and the se... -
Aeromonas trota strains, which agglutinate with Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal antiserum, possess a serologically distinct fimbrial colonization factor
Pili of Aeromonas trota strain 1220, which agglutinates with Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal antiserum, were purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the subunit protein was estimated to be 20 kDa and the pl was 5... -
Dissociation between cytokine mRNA expression and protein production in shigellosis
In our study, infection with Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (n = 16) or Shigella flexneri in adults (n = 5) was associated with a gradual accumulation of mRNA for interleukin (IL)-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha,&#x... -
Financing the World Health Organisation: global importance of extrabudgetary funds
From 1948, when WHO was established, the Organisation has relied on the assessed contributions of its member states for its regular budget. However, since the early 1980s the WHO World Health Assembly has had a policy ... -
Previous enteric adenovirus infection does not protect against subsequent symptomatic infection: longitudinal follow-up of eight infants
Eight infants followed longitudinally were found to have enteric adenovirus (EAdv) infections: in 5 infants with diarrhea and in 3 with no accompanying diarrhea. Sequential stool samples prior to EAdv infections were tested for ... -
Characterization of Aeromonas trota strains that cross-react with Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal
It has previously been shown that Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal shares antigens with V. cholerae serogroups O22 and O155. We detected six surface water isolates of Aeromonas trota that agglutinated in polyclonal antisera to V.&#x... -
Research methodology for developing efficient handwashing options: an example from Bangladesh
Handwashing has been universally promoted for health interventions, but it is essential that the factors related to behaviour are understood in order to develop appropriate handwashing messages. We found the study of behaviour compl... -
Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in infants and family contacts in a poor Bangladesh community
Although H. pylori is well established as an etiological agent of type B gastritis and a predisposing factor for peptic ulcer, knowledge about its transmission is unclear. In this study we examined the prevalence of H.... -
Development of an improved animal model of shigellosis in the adult rabbit by colonic infection with Shigella flexneri 2a
Rabbits are not usually susceptible to intestinal Shigella infection without extensive pretreatment, including starvation and administration of antimicrobial, antimotility, and toxic agents (carbon tetrachloride). Most animals infected this way die...
