Introducing the low-dose pill to Bangladesh; issues of continuation and failure
In response to government plans to introduce a low-dose pill to the national family planning program of Bangladesh, a comparison of the performance of low-dose and standard-dose pills among a rural Bangladeshi population was co... -
Albendazole and infections with Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura in children in Bangladesh
Two hundred and forty-five children infected with Trichuris trichiura, 143 of whom were also infected with Ascaris lumbricoides, were treated with albendazole as follows: single doses of either 600 mg or 800 mg, or daily d... -
Intake from an energy-dense porridge liquefied by amylase of germinated wheat: a controlled trial in severely malnourished children during convalescence from diarrhoea
To evaluate the role of an energy-dense diet liquefied with amylase-rich flour from germinated wheat (ARF) in increasing the energy intake in severely malnourished infants and young children and its acceptability to mothers. DESIGN:... -
Production, characterization, and application of monoclonal antibodies to Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal.
Mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were derived against acetone-treated whole cells of the newly recognized Vibrio cholerae O139 serogroup which is causing epidemics of cholera-like disease in India and Bangladesh. Four MAbs specifically ... -
Persistent diarrhoea: efficacy of a rice-based diet and role of nutritional status in recovery and nutrient absorption
A diet based on rice powder, soya-bean oil, glucose, egg-white and salts was given to twenty-six patients of different nutritional status aged 4-18 months with persistent diarrhoea and twenty-five age-matched controls without diarrhoea.&... -
Changes in body composition of malnourished children after dietary supplementation as measured by bioelectrical impedance
Body composition was measured with bioelectrical impedance in 35 malnourished children aged 24-59 mo to investigate the effect of a 3-wk feeding supplementation. Twenty children received a high-protein diet with 15% of total energy&... -
Absorption of macronutrients from a high-protein diet in children during convalescence from shigellosis
Absorption of macronutrients and energy intake were determined in 29 children aged 24-59 months, during convalescence from acute shigellosis. A 72 h metabolic balance study was performed to determine the absorption of carbohydrate, ... -
Pathology of shigellosis and its complications
One hundred and thirty-three colonic biopsies of proven cases of Shigella colitis were examined and post-mortem examinations were carried out on 29 fatal cases at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh ... -
Purification and characterization of vibrio cholerae O139 fimbriae
A Vibrio cholerae O139 (strain Al-1841) isolated from a patient with a cholera-like disease in Bangladesh predominantly produced new curved, wavy fimbriae (Al-1841 fimbriae) and small numbers of previously reported V. cholerae non-O1... -
Clinical trials of improved oral rehydration salt formulations: a review
(ORS), L-alanine-based ORS, L-glutamine-based ORS, maltodextrin-based ORS, and rice-based ORS, as well as the results of several recently completed, but unpublished, studies of these formulations that were supported by WHO. All experimental&#... -
Emergence of a new epidemic strain of Vibrio cholerae in Bangladesh: an epidemiological study
For decades, epidemic cholera in Bangladesh has produced contrasting pictures of appearance and disappearance of Vibrio cholerae, which until recently, remained confined to the biotypes and to serotypes of V. cholerae O1. The classi... -
Enterotoxigenicity, hemolytic activity and antibiotic resistance of Aeromonas spp. isolated from freshwater prawn marketed in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Aeromonas spp. were isolated from gills, swimmerets, eggs, stomachs and ventral muscles of freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium malcolmsonii) available in the local fish market of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The density of Aeromonas spp. on these... -
Hemagglutinating properties of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli
Many intestinal bacterial pathogens possess hemagglutinating properties, which are indicative of their adhesive properties to the intestinal mucosal surface. To understand the bacteria-mucosa interaction, 41 strains of enteroaggregative Escherichia col... -
Molecular cloning of the wild-type and mutant thyA gene from Shigella flexneri Y
The thyA gene which codes for thymidylate synthase has been cloned and sequenced from the wild-type Shigella flexneri Y strain SH4 and a thyA mutant TSF21 after amplifying the gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The&#... -
Production of slime polysaccharides by Shigella dysenteriae type 1
Electron microscopy of ruthenium red-stained ultrathin section of strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 grown in the Casamino Acids-yeast extract broth medium showed the presence of an extracellular slime layer. The slime appeared ... -
Pili of a Vibrio cholerae O139
The pili of a strain of Vibrio cholerae O139 were purified and characterized. They were morphologically, electrophoretically and immunologically indistinguishable from the pili with 16 kDa subunit protein of V. cholerae O1. All 22&#...
