Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem, in which the majority of cases occur in population-dense developing countries. Despite advances in various diagnostic TB modalities, extrapulmonary TB remains a challenge due to complexities related to its diagnostic approach. Hereby, we present a rare case of endocarditis and spondylodiscitis associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). This case report highlighted the challenges faced in diagnosing blood culture-negative infective endocarditis (BCNIE). We also emphasized the importance of considering MTB as etiology of BCNIE, particularly in endemic TB areas.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
With around 10 million diagnosed patients, Bangladesh remains at the forefront of the global type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) epidemic. A comprehensive understanding of the current T2DM scenario is required to curb the disease burden. In this study, we aimed to identify the prevalence, associated factors, and control status of T2DM in Bangladesh.
Methods
This cross-sectional survey was conducted in 15 randomly selected community-based clusters in Bangladesh. Around 1,000 adults aged ≥18 years from each cluster were selected. Face-to-face interviews, anthropometric measurement, biospecimen collection, and point of care blood test were performed. Individuals with Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) ≥126 mg/dl or previously diagnosed with T2DM by a qualified health provider were considered T2DM cases. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with T2DM.
Results
Data of 13,674 individuals were analysed for this study. The overall prevalence of T2DM was 10.0%, among whom 29.2% were undiagnosed. Among previously diagnosed patients, 64.9% had uncontrolled diabetes (FBS≥126 mg/dl). The prevalence of uncontrolled diabetes was higher among elderly, female, and urban participants. Patients with hypertension, high waist-hip ratio and high serum cholesterol had 2.20 times (95% CI: 2.17-2.23, p < 0.001), 3.53 times (95% CI: 3.47-3.59, p < 0.001) and 2.53 times (95% CI: 2.48-2.59, p < 0.001) higher odds of having T2DM, respectively.
Conclusions
One out of every ten adults in Bangladesh had T2DM, and a substantial proportion of them had undiagnosed and uncontrolled diabetes. This finding indicates the lack of preparedness of the country's health system to address the problem. Pertinent stakeholders should adopt a multi-sectoral approach to develop comprehensive policies and implement target-specific interventions, e.g., population-based screening program, primary care based T2DM service, and community mobilisation to combat the T2DM epidemic.
Key messages
As the T2DM burden is high in Bangladesh, policy makers should adopt a collaborative approach to develop and implement effective public health programs for prevention and control of T2DM. As the burden of uncontrolled T2DM is high in Bangladesh, the country’s health system should ensure early diagnosis and provision of quality care at affordable cost for T2DM patients.

Abstract
Corona viruses are a group of RNA viruses that cause infection in humans and animals. In human Corona viruses cause respiratory tract infections ranging from mild to critical illness. Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in Wuhan city, of China, in December 2019 and since spread all around the world. In Bangladesh first case has been declared by Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) in 8th March, 2020 and first death on 18th march in an ICU and by 13th December total 489,178 cases and 7,020 deaths occurred in this country. The main objective of this study was to determine the Demographic and Clinical Profile of COVID-19 ICU patients in Bangladesh. This retrospective descriptive study on clinical profile along with short term treatment outcomes of COVID-19 patients conducted from COVID-19 dedicated Intensive care unit of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh during July 2020 to November 2020. Total 300 ICU patients was included in this study. The age range of the patients was from 15 to 91 years. The highest percentage of patients about 49.00%, which was 147 patients were belonged to 61-75 years age group. The patients mean age was 62.80 years. Regarding gender distribution, among those 300 patients; 77.00% which is 231 were male and only 23.00% which is 69 were female. Patients admitted with symptoms like, respiratory distress/shortness of breath (100.00%), persistent worsening cough (60.00%), fatigue (55.00%) and fever (40.00%). Patients were also present with sore throat (35.00%), rhinorrhea (30.00%), altered mental status (20.00%), diarrhoea (10.00%) and chest pain (5.00%). Regarding co-morbidities, around half of the patients were suffering from Diabetes (60.22%) and Hypertension (53.44%). Significant amount of patients were also suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (27.00%) and bronchial asthma (16.78%). Ischemic heart disease was (10.33%), chronic kidney disease (10.89%), hypothyroidism (9.78%) and multiple co-morbidities (15.12%) at the time of admission. Mortality rate in this case were 71.00% and most of the death cases were in between 61 to 75 years of age group (40.00%). After improvement 27.00% patients were transferred to cabin for further management. We could discharge to home directly only 2.00% of patients.

Abstract
Introduction: There are huge numbers of drilling platforms in the world and once the worker on those platforms meet with an accident, the situation could be very serious. The consequence of this could be environmental, economic and in some cases fatal. Middle East, being one of the oil rich regions hence some of the largest operator works here. Companies here own various types of jack up rigs ranging from old generation rigs to the latest cyber-rig. This paper addresses what oil rig workers have to say about their interaction with machines, and how Human Machine Interaction (HMI) in Offshore Drilling can be improved with design.
Method: A case study approach was undertaken The analysis in this paper draws on the interviews conducted with two different employees involved in operating the drilling operations conducted in the driller’s cabin of newly designed offshore rigs. A semi-structured approach was adopted, using themes identified through analysis of the preceding. The interviews were transcribed by the research team. Each interview was analyzed thematically with existing system and reported discrepancy
Results: The study on Human Machine Interaction (HMI) and Human Factor regarding this has been conducted in the latest generation cyber rigs. There are many aspects of HMI and ergonomics but in this study a special concentration has been given to deal with the ergonomic standpoint and evaluates the drillers console controls.
Conclusions: When comparison is done with the existing machinery, few modifications can be thought of for better human machine interaction. A better human machine interaction system will ensure a more productive environment for the oil-rig workers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial dissection (MD) in a left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (LSVA) is a rare condition that may lead to a fatal complication. Determining the MD etiology is challenging because of various possibilities ranging from congenital to acquired diseases. Here, we discuss an approach for determining the etiology of MD complicating LSVA in Takayasu arteritis (TA) and its treatment. CASE PRESENTATION A 41-year-old man presented with dyspnea on heavy activities and a history of consciousness loss at the age of 24 years. He was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and MD complicating LSVA in TA based on combined clinical and pathognomonic diagnostic criteria of TA evaluated using vascular Doppler and computed tomography angiography of the aorta. The patient refused to undergo surgery and received an optimal dose of chronic heart failure therapy, a high-dose steroid, and azathioprine. The patient experienced some improvements in clinical condition, functional outcome, and inflammatory markers at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Clinical criteria and various imaging modalities may be used to determine the etiology of MD complicating LSVA in silent TA. As an alternative to surgery, the optimal medical treatment might result in a satisfactory outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged pacing of the right ventricle (RV) is associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Several studies have shown that the RV pacing location, pacing burden (percentage), and paced QRS duration may affect LV systolic function. Subclinical LV dysfunction may occur early after implantation of a permanent pacemaker (PPM). Therefore, this study aims to detect early subclinical LV systolic dysfunction measured by global longitudinal strain (GLS) using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) at one month after PPM implantation. METHODS A single-center, prospective cohort study was conducted, and all patients indicated for PPM implantation with preserved LV systolic function were included. Data of RV pacing location (RV apical vs right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), pacing burden (percentage) (≤40% vs >40%), and paced QRS duration (≤150 ms and >150 ms) were obtained. The change of GLS was also measured before and one month after PPM implantation (delta GLS). RESULTS 37 patients were enrolled in this study, which demonstrated significant difference between GLS before (-20.30 SD 3.38) and after (-16.93 SD 3.47) PPM implantation (p=<0.001). There were no significant difference in delta GLS either between patients with RV pacing location on RV apical vs RVOT ((2.30 (0.00-10.50) vs 2.95(0.10-8.30), p=0.648) or between patient with paced QRS duration ≤150ms vs >150ms ((1.70 (0.30-8.30) vs 3.45 (0.0-10.5)), p=0.266). Meanwhile, there was a significant difference of delta GLS between patients with pacing burden ≤40% vs >40% (Mean 1.92 SD 1.37 vs 3.98 SD 3.04), p=0.007). Further analysis found that pacing burden only affected the delta GLS in group with apical RV pacing (≤40% (1.58 SD 0.59) vs > 40% (4.67 SD 3.47), p = 0.008) and did not affect the delta GLS in group with RVOT pacing (≤40% (2.32 SD 1.98) vs > 40% (3.29 SD 2.48), p = 0.446). CONCLUSION The pacing parameter, particularly pacing burden > 40% may induce the subclinical LV systolic dysfunction after one month of pacemaker implantation as shown by decline of GLS, especially when the RV pacing location was placed on apical.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem both in terms of the number of patients and the cost of treatment. Chronic kidney disease seems to be the main driver of pulmonary embolism (PE) in dialysis patients. The diagnosis of PE is difficult due to its non-specific signs and symptoms, especially in many comorbidities with similar features. Chronic kidney disease plays a role in both the incidence of venous thromboembolism and the manifestations of pulmonary hypertension, resulting in an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Advances in the management of patients with suspected PE have improved diagnostic accuracy. An approach using several diagnostic tools with different characteristics, such as D-dimer measurement, and imaging tests-predominantly computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) - can help evaluate the diagnosis.
Case DescriptionHere we report the case of a 51-year-old woman with a history of chronic kidney disease, who presented with sudden worsening of dyspnea. Further examination showed signs of right heart failure with a high probability of pulmonary hypertension on echocardiography. Based on the general features it is difficult to distinguish between acute pulmonary embolism and chronic pulmonary hypertension, both of which can be caused by the underlying chronic kidney disease. Nevertheless, gold standard imaging using CTPA confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, with underlying pulmonary hypertension from chronic kidney disease.
ConclusionsThe diagnosis of pulmonary embolism with comorbidities is challenging. The availability of diagnostic modalities will confer different advantages and particular accuracy to meet the challenges in diagnosis.

Abstract
Purpose PCNL requires a lithotrite to efficiently break stones, and some devices include active suction to remove the fragments. We set out to determine the efficacy and safety of the Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy, in a prospective European multicentre evaluation and compared it to published stone clearance rates for Trilogy based on surface area (68.9 mm2/min) and using the 3D calculated stone volume (526.7 mm3/min). Methods Ten European centres participated in this prospective non-randomized study of Trilogy for PCNL. Objective measures of stone clearance rate, device malfunction, complications and stone-free rates were assessed. Each surgeon subjectively evaluated ergonomic and device effectiveness, on a 1–10 scale (10 = extremely ergonomic/effective) and compared to their usual lithotrite on a 1–10 scale (10 = extremely effective). Results One hundred and fifty seven PCNLs using Trilogy were included (53% male, 47% female; mean age 55 years, range 13–84 years). Mean stone clearance rate was 65.55 mm2/min or 945 mm3/min based on calculated 3D volume. Stone-free rate on fluoroscopy screening at the end of the procedure was 83%. Feedback for suction effectiveness was 9.0 with 9.1 for combination and 9.0 for overall effectiveness compared to lithotrite used previously. Ergonomic score was 8.1, the least satisfactory element. Complications included 13 (8.2%) Clavien–Dindo Grade II and 2 (1.3%) Grade III. Probe breakage was seen in 9 (5.7%), none required using a different lithotrite. Conclusions We have demonstrated that Trilogy is highly effective at stone removal. From a user perspective, the device was perceived by surgeons to be highly effective overall and compared to the most commonly used previous lithotrite, with an excellent safety profile.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first reported in Wuhan, China is now a major global health threat - a pandemic. Public health control measures are the cornerstones in the fight against COVID-19 in the absence of an effective vaccine or proven treatment. The aim of this review was to explore the historical use case of various public health measures adopted today to tackle COVID-19 spread. Although our knowledge about this novel coronavirus transmission is evolving over time, the fundamental non-pharmaceutical interventions e.g., handwashing, wearing a mask, physical distancing, isolation, quarantine and border control which are adopted globally at present are not new. This review highlighted that historically and religiously similar approaches were practised in the medieval past for controlling disease outbreaks. The successful implementation of the public health control measures largely depends on health systems resilience, community engagement and changes in population behaviour. Combined global efforts are essential to strengthen health systems, improve the capability of research and transparent information sharing with both public and international bodies to combat the pandemic.

Abstract
The study was aimed to evaluate methods for nonsurgical castration of Black Bengal bucks by intra-testicular injection of calcium chloride, sodium chloride, citric acid solutions or sterile deionized water. Twelve healthy bucks were randomly allotted to groups A, B, C, and D, consisting of three bucks each. The local anesthetic, 2% lidocaine hydrochloride, was infused into the spermatic cord of each buck, followed by bilateral intra-testicular injections of 30% calcium chloride (CaCl2), 25% sodium chloride (NaCl), 50% citric acid (C6H8O7) solutions, and sterile deionized water dosed at 2 ml per testis in groups A, B, C and D respectively. To evaluate the efficacy of chemical agents on the inactivation of testes, clinical parameters, changes in scrotal circumference, testicular fine needle aspiration (TFNA), histopathology and serum concentration of testosterone and LH were monitored. A significant decrease in the scrotal circumference was observed between the intra-testicular injection and day 14 in all the bucks. Absence of spermatogenic cells and spermatozoa in the testicular biopsy was observed on day 14 post injection in the bucks, except for one in group C. Histopathology revealed massive destruction of seminiferous tubules and disorganization of the testicular parenchyma. Serum testosterone concentration declined significantly on day 14 compared with day 0. Consequently, the gradual elevation in serum LH concentration was significant. Thus, intra-testicular injections of CaCl2 and NaCl were more effective than C6H8O7 in inducing chemical-based nonsurgical castration.

Abstract
Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a new disease of cattle in Bangladesh. It is endemic in Africa but through the last few years disease beings to spread to other countries of the world. The disease was widely spreaded in the many other countries in Asia and some parts of Europe. In Bangladesh, the disease was first time detected in April 2019, in southern part and then continued to spread all over the country.The disease caused enormous economic losses causing cutaneous and internal lesions, affecting milk production, hide quality and in some cases death of infected animal. LSD suspected samples were collected from different areas of the country during the period from July 2019 to January 2020. In this study, a total of 36 clinically suspected LSD samples of skin crustnodules, pus and ocular discharge were collected. Samples were examined by the published PCR protocol for LSD virus, GPV and SPV. Around 78% samples were found positive for LSD virus in PCR test. LSD virus was also identified from pus and ocular discharge of infected cattle. The virus can grow in the lamb testicular cell and clinically the disease is characterized by distinctive nodular lesions mostly on the skin of the affected animals.The results indicated that the LSD virus is circulating in the outbreak are as and is an emerging transboundary cattle disease in Bangladesh.

Abstract
Infections are well recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes. This study was done to observe the pattern of infections and microorganism with sensitivity pattern in patients with diabetes admitted at a specialized referral hospital in Dhaka. This cross-sectional study was carried out in Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation for Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders (BIRDEM) General Hospital, Dhaka from March 2014 to April 2015. It included 309 patients of diabetes (male-169, female-140; age mean±SD- 49.3±14.7 years) admitted in medicine or endocrinology department, who were screened for clinical evidence of infections according to revised McGeer criteria. Culture and sensitivity pattern of responsible microorganisms were sought from clinically appropriate specimen. Among the participants 25.9% (80 out of 309) had evidence of infection. The most common of them were urinary tract infection (53.8%) and respiratory tract infection (30.0%). E. coli and Klebsiella were the most common organisms that were isolated by urine (55.3% and 13.2%) and blood culture (57.1% and 42.9%). Acinetobacter was the most common pathogen in tracheal aspirate (80%) and Klebsiella in sputum (100%). Culture of wound swab exclusively revealed growth of Staphylococcus. E. coli was fairly sensitive to meropenem (100%), amikacin (93.5%) and nitrofurantoin (93.1%), while sensitivity of Klebsiella was almost similar to that of E. coli. Acinetobacter was fully resistant to ceftazidime, nitrofurantoin and meropenem while only modestly sensitive to ciprofloxacin and amikacin (25% and 20% respectively). Pseudomonas was 100% sensitive to ceftazidime, amikacin and meropenem, but 100% resistant to ciprofloxacin and nitrofurantoin. One in four admitted diabetes patient had evidence of infection, most commonly involving urinary and respiratory tracts. E. coli and Klebsiella both fairly sensitive to common antibiotics, were common isolates from urine and blood culture; whereas Acinetobacter isolated from tracheal aspirates and urine, was only modestly sensitive.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Elevated transaminases can occur in up to 17 per cent of cases of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)1, with many cases related to concurrent autoimmune conditions of the liver. Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is the most common autoimmune disease of the liver that is associated with IBD. Other causes of liver inflammation in patients with IBD can include Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH).
Aims
We aim to report a case of new onset ulcerative colitis in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis type 1 in the absence of concomitant PSC.
Methods
Case report and review of literature.
Results
A 25-year-old male with painless jaundice and was found to have Autoimmune hepatitis type 1 with typical morphological changes, positive Antinuclear antibodies and elevated IgG levels. Histopathological exam of the liver did not show any direct changes to the bile ducts to suggest PSC. The patient was started on steroids and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) and developed new onset diarrhea. Colonoscopy was performed and both endoscopic and pathological findings were suggestive of likely inflammatory bowel disease, although drug induced colitis (MMF) could not be excluded.
Conclusions
We conclude that there is a link between autoimmune hepatitis with IBD, in absence of concomitant PSC.

Abstract
Abstract
Acute aortic dissection carries a high mortality rate if left unrecognized and untreated, however only 60-70% of cases are accurately diagnosed in the early stages of hospital admission. This condition rarely occurs in young women but may manifest in the presence of predisposing factors such as pregnancy and preeclampsia; in which hormonal and hemodynamic alterations, exacerbated by high blood pressure, may adversely affect the aortic intima. Acute chest pain in pregnancy may caution physicians and warrant further examination, but left ventricular dysfunction can mask symptoms commonly associated with aortic dissection and delay timely diagnosis.
We present a 27-year old woman with acute aortic dissection confounded by peripartum cardiomyopathy. The patient was admitted for respiratory distress ten days after delivery by caesarean section due to severe preeclampsia. She had no complaints of chest or interscapular pain, and initially assessed with peripartum cardiomyopathy. Plain chest radiography showed cardiomegaly without mediastinal widening. Trans-thoracal echocardiography revealed severely reduced left ventricular function and a regurgitant, dilated aortic root with a visible intimal flap. Computed Tomography examination confirmed an aortic dissection Stanford Classification A extending up to the renal arteries.
Patients with acute aortic dissection may not always demonstrate classic signs or symptoms, especially when a different entity obscures the progression of disease. Nonetheless, acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease, and require immediate recognition. Pregnant women are at a risk towards developing a dissected aorta and different imaging modalities must be promptly utilized, even when present with atypical symptoms, to exclude such catastrophic events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lack of physical activity (PA) contributes to increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally. However, little is known about PA and sedentary behaviour (SB) among populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This systematic review examined prevalence of PA and SB in Bangladesh. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review of the literature. METHODS A systematic electronic search in eight databases and a manual search of retrieved articles' references were conducted. Original research conducted in Bangladesh with PA- and/or SB-related outcome(s) were included. RESULTS Out of 1,162 retrieved titles, 33 articles (32 cross-sectional and one case-control study) met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-nine studies were with healthy populations: adults (n = 19); children and adolescents (n = 7); and children, adolescents and adults (n = 3). Five studies used nationally representative samples of adults and one of adolescents. Most studies (n = 26) assessed PA only; three only SB, and four both PA and SB. All studies used self-reported measures. Among healthy adults, prevalence of insufficient PA ranged from 5% to 83%. Occupational and transport-related PA contributed the most towards total PA with negligible contribution of recreational PA. Among children and adolescents, the prevalence of insufficient PA ranged between 20% and 67%. Females engaged in less PA compared to males. Limited evidence currently exists about the prevalence of SB, especially among adults. CONCLUSIONS PA and SB research has received little attention in Bangladesh. Critical knowledge gaps identified in this review should be taken into account when designing new research and programmes in Bangladesh and other LMICs with similar socio-economic and cultural settings.

Volumetric laser endomicroscopy and its application to Barrett's esophagus: results from a 1,000 patient registry. Dis Esophagus 2019; 32:5481776.

Abstract
Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time, microscopic cross-sectional imaging. A US-based multi-center registry was constructed to prospectively collect data on patients undergoing upper endoscopy during which a VLE scan was performed. The objective of this registry was to determine usage patterns of VLE in clinical practice and to estimate quantitative and qualitative performance metrics as they are applied to Barrett's esophagus (BE) management. All procedures utilized the NvisionVLE Imaging System (NinePoint Medical, Bedford, MA) which was used by investigators to identify the tissue types present, along with focal areas of concern. Following the VLE procedure, investigators were asked to answer six key questions regarding how VLE impacted each case. Statistical analyses including neoplasia diagnostic yield improvement using VLE was performed. One thousand patients were enrolled across 18 US trial sites from August 2014 through April 2016. In patients with previously diagnosed or suspected BE (894/1000), investigators used VLE and identified areas of concern not seen on white light endoscopy (WLE) in 59% of the procedures. VLE imaging also guided tissue acquisition and treatment in 71% and 54% of procedures, respectively. VLE as an adjunct modality improved the neoplasia diagnostic yield by 55% beyond the standard of care practice. In patients with no prior history of therapy, and without visual findings from other technologies, VLE-guided tissue acquisition increased neoplasia detection over random biopsies by 700%. Registry investigators reported that VLE improved the BE management process when used as an adjunct tissue acquisition and treatment guidance tool. The ability of VLE to image large segments of the esophagus with microscopic cross-sectional detail may provide additional benefits including higher yield biopsies and more efficient tissue acquisition.
