Risk factors for mortality in the Bangladesh cyclone of 1991
Cyclones continue to pose a dangerous threat to the coastal populations of Bangladesh, despite improvements in disaster control procedures. After 138,000 persons died in the April 1991 cyclone, we carried out a rapid epidemiological... -
Lifetime of reusable syringes and needles. A field study
For planning of supplies and costs it is important for an immunization unit to know how many times reusable syringes and needles can be used. A field study found that BCG syringes, which had their rubber seals re... -
Harnessing health information in the Third World
The provision of technical information on health in developing countries is discussed, with particular reference to the Diarrhoeal Diseases Information Services Centre in Bangladesh. Progress towards meeting the pressing needs of the Thi... -
Mortality-discriminating power of some nutritional, sociodemographic, and diarrheal disease indices
This study compared the predictive power of selected nutritional (anthropometric), socioeconomic, and diarrheal disease morbidity variables for subsequent childhood mortality over a 1-year period. The data consisted of observations of approximatel... -
Sharing of virulence-associated properties at the phenotypic and genetic levels between enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and Hafnia alvei
Seven strains of Hafnia alvei isolated from diarrhoeal stools of children resembled enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in that they produced attaching-effacing (AE) lesions in rabbit ileal loops and fluorescent actin staining in in... -
Community-based evaluation of the effect of breast-feeding on the risk of microbiologically confirmed or clinically presumptive shigellosis in Bangladeshi children
To assess the association between breast-feeding and the risk of microbiologically confirmed or clinically presumptive shigellosis, the authors performed a case-control analysis of Bangladeshi ... -
Breast feeding and oral rehydration at home during diarrhoea to prevent dehydration.
In a case-control study we evaluated the role of maternal behaviour, as reflected in maintenance of breast feeding and the use of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) at home during acute diarrhoea, in preventing dehydration in ... -
DNA probe analysis of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli: detection of EAF-positive isolates of traditional enteropathogenic E. coli serotypes among Bangladeshi paediatric diarrhoea patients
Escherichia coli isolates from all surveillance patients less than or equal to 20 months of age seen for diarrhoea at the Dhaka Clinical Treatment Facility of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh ... -
Employment in family planning and women's status in Bangladesh
This study investigates how employment in family planning affects the status of community workers. The focus is on three critical variables: prestige, professional status, and social influence. The data are derived from a focus-grou... -
Development and evaluation of a rapid, simple, sensitive, monoclonal antibody-based co-agglutination test for direct detection of Vibrio cholerae 01
Cholera epidemics caused by Vibrio cholerae 01 continue to represent a major public health concern in many developing countries. A rapid and simple test kit for the detection of V. cholerae 01 has been developed. The ... -
Evidence that inactivated oral cholera vaccines both prevent and mitigate Vibrio cholerae O1 infections in a cholera-endemic area
In a randomized, placebo-controlled field trial of B subunit-killed whole cell (BS-WC) and killed whole cell only (WC) inactivated oral cholera vaccines in rural Bangladesh, active surveillance of selected neighborhoods during the first&... -
Crossed immunoelectrophoretic analysis of antigenic composition of B-subunit/whole-cell and whole-cell only killed oral cholera vaccines
Crossed immunoelectrophoresis was used to identify antigens preserved in the whole-cell component of oral cholera vaccines tested in the field trial in Bangladesh. The composition and immunogenicity of the vaccine antigens were compared&... -
Gastric emptying of liquid in children suffering from acute rotaviral gastroenteritis
Nausea and vomiting commonly occur in children suffering from rotaviral diarrhoea. Gastric emptying was studied in 10 children (age six to 12 months) suffering from acute diarrhoea caused by rotavirus using a dye dilution doubl...
