Speciation of arsenic metabolite intermediates in human urine by ion-exchange chromatography and flow injection hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry
Abstract Biomethylation is considered as the principal metabolic and detoxification pathway for inorganic arsenic in human. The end products of methylation are less toxic and more readily excreted through urine. Therefore, s... -
Therapy of travelers' diarrhea with rifaximin on various continents
Abstract OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of rifaximin, a virtually nonabsorbed antibiotic, 600 and 1200 mg per day, with placebo in patients with travelers' diarrhea. METHODS: ... -
Non-cancer effects of chronic arsenicosis in Bangladesh: preliminary results
Abstract A total of 136 patients were studied in three Upazillas of Laxmipur, Barisal and Madaripur districts were selected for health awareness campaign program. According to the existing data, these villages were rank... -
How many child deaths can we prevent this year
This is the second of five papers in the child survival series. The first focused on continuing high rates of child mortality (over 10 million each year) from preventable causes: diarrhoea, pneumonia, measles, malaria, HIV/... -
Knowledge into action for child survival
The child survival revolution of the 1980s contributed to steady decreases in child mortality in some populations, but much remains to be done. More than 10 million children will die this year, almost all of whom are&... -
Pathogenicity islands and phages in Vibrio cholerae evolution
The identification of accessory genetic elements (plasmids, phages and chromosomal 'pathogenicity islands') encoding virulence-associated genes has facilitated our efforts to understand the origination of pathogenic microorganisms. Toxigenic Vibrio ... -
Antioxidants in detoxification of arsenic-induced oxidative injury in rabbits: preliminary results
Abstract To assess the oxidative injuries caused by arsenic toxicity in rabbits and evaluate the detoxifying effects of exogenous antioxidants, we administered arsenic trioxide (3-5 mg/kg/day) in rabbits through a feedi... -
The need for maternal zinc supplementation in developing countries: an unresolved issue
Maternal zinc deficiency during pregnancy has been related to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Most studies in which pregnant women have been supplemented with zinc to examine effects on pregnancy outcome have been carried out in in... -
The role of public health programmes in reducing socioeconomic inequities in childhood immunization coverage
Abstract OBJECTIVES: This paper asks whether intensive outreach services can eliminate socioeconomic differentials in vaccine coverage. METHODS: In 1990, the Matlab Maternal and Child Health/Family Planning Project... -
Comparison of PCR method with the culture method for identification of gonococci from endocervical swabs
Gonococcal infection remains still a major cause of morbidity among sexually active individuals. Diagnosis of the infection in a female case is more difficult than that in a male. This was a prospective study among 269... -
Measles vaccine effectiveness and risk factors for measles in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate vaccine effectiveness and to assess risk factors for measles in Dhaka, Bangladesh. METHOD: A case-control study, involving 198 cases with 783 age-matched neighbourhood controls ... -

Vitamin A supplementation of women postpartum and of their infants at immunization alters breast milk retinol and infant vitamin A status
Abstract Vitamin A supplementation of lactating mothers and of infants at the time of diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) and oral polio vaccine (OPV) immunizations have both been suggested as measures to prevent deficiency a... -
Are the PE-PGRS proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis variable surface antigens
Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv contains 67 PE-PGRS genes, with multiple tandem repetitive sequences, encoding closely related proteins that are exceptionally rich in glycine and alanine. As no functional information was... -
Persistent diarrhoea: associated infection and response to a low lactose diet
Abstract Children aged 4-23 months with persistent diarrhoea received a low lactose diet, multivitamins, minerals and antibiotics for infection. Sixty-one (57 per cent) children improved with low lactose diet while 46 (43&#x... -
The spatial epidemiology of cholera in an endemic area of Bangladesh
Abstract This paper defines high-risk areas of cholera based on environmental risk factors of the disease in an endemic area of Bangladesh. The risk factors include proximity to surface water, high population density,&#... -
Reconsidering the doorstep-delivery system in the Bangladesh Family Planning Program
Abstract The government of Bangladesh is currently testing and implementing strategies to change its family planning program from a reliance on field-workers who conduct home visits to a conventional fixed-site delivery syst... -
Sensitive microplate assay for detection of bactericidal antibodies to Vibrio cholerae O139
Abstract A microplate assay for the detection of bactericidal antibodies to Vibrio cholerae O139 is described. The assay is sensitive, highly reproducible, specific, and convenient to perform. It has been used to demons... -
Spatial filtering using a raster geographic information system: methods for scaling health and environmental data.
Abstract Despite the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in academic research, it is still uncommon for public health officials to use such tools for addressing health and environmental issues. Complexities in m...
