Abstract
Variety of conditions may be responsible for low back pain but lumber spinal canal stenosis is an important cause of low back pain. Lumber spinal canal stenosis usually presents with low backache with neurogenic claudication and shortness of walking distance in adult patient. Surgical management of lumbar spinal canal stenosis by decompression surgery is effective method. This prospective interventional study was performed in patient with clinical features like low back pain with radicular pain, neurogenic claudication, signs of root compression, positive MRI findings attending in department of Orthopaedic Surgery Mymensingh Medical College Hospital and Private Hospital from July 2016 to June 2019. Thirty patients were evaluated among those 20(66.6%) were 50 years and above. The mean age was 47.5±1.6 years. Male to female ratio was roughly 8:1. Almost all of the patients had low backache with radiation to the back of the thigh and leg with motor weakness (60%). About 66.6% of the patients had sensory deficit and 83.3% had neurogenic claudication. Majority (80.0%) of the patients at presentation had a suffering of 12 or >12 months. The mean duration of suffering was 14.7±5.1 months. About 55% of the patients were able to perform heel-walking and 36.0% tip-toe walking. Nearly 57% of the patients had sensory deficit along the distribution of 1st sacral nerve and 53.3% along the distribution of lumber 5 nerves. Diagnosis shows that 16.6% of patients had L4 lesion, 50% L5, 10.0% patients had L4 & L5 and 46.6% S1. Laminectomy was done in 26.6% of patients, laminectomy and disectomy in 33.3% and laminectomy, discectomy & foraminal decompression in 40.0% of patients. Twenty five (83.5%) of patients was free from symptoms. Eighty percent (80.0%) of patients shows minimal disability and 20.0% moderate disability on the basis of Oswestry Disability Index, while by MacNab criteria, most (80%) of patients was excellent, 10% good and another 10% fair. Repeated measure ANOVA statistics showed that mean Oswestry score decreased significantly from 54.5% at baseline to 22% at the end of 1 year (p<0.001).

Abstract
Many patients come with open fracture tibia-fibula initially managed by surgical toileting and the application of indigenous uniaxial external fixator in our country. Many of them lead to non-uniting fracture or sometimes signs of union absent within 4 months from the time of initial fracture and become infected also. This quasi experimental study included 40 skeletally matured patients was conducted from 05 February 2014 to 05 February 2018 in the department of Orthopedics, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensigh, Bangladesh. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Ilizarov external fixator for treatment of infected gap non-uniting mid shaft tibia-fibula fracture which was initially open fracture Gustilo II to Gustilo III B. Uniaxial external fixators were replaced by to Ilizarov external fixators which multiaxial. Here male 30(75%), female 10(25%) with mean 28 years of age were analyzed in this study based on the inclusion criteria. Twenty eight (70%) fractures had right tibia-fibula while 12(30%) fracture had involved left tibia-fibula. Twelve (30%) patients had a grade II, grade III A- 18(45%), grade IIIB- 10(25%) open fracture tibia-fibula according to the Gustilo and Anderson classification. Initial mode of injury RTA was 28(70%), fall from height 8(20%), physical assault 4(10%). Mean interval between initial trauma and Ilizarov external fixator application was 4.4 months (ranges 4.2-4.8 months).Union or signs of union achieved in all cases in an average time of 17.12 weeks (range 14-20 weeks). The Ilizarov fixator was kept for an average period of 195 days (range 180-210 days). Minimal follow-up was 9 months after complete frame removal (average: 12 months, range: 9-18 months). Based on ASAMI scoring system, bony and functional results were assessed. The bony results were excellent in 24(60%), good in 12(30%), fair in 4(10%) and the Functional results were excellent in 18(45%), good in 16(40%), fair in 4(10%) and poor in 2(5%). In 16(40%) patients 20 wires had pin tract infection in this series. Most pin-tract infections healed well with regular dressing and oral antibiotics but in 8(20%) patients 8 affected loose wires were exchanged. Limb length discrepancy was 1.5cm in 18(45%) patients and 2.0cm in 22(55%) patients. The small sample sizes and short duration of follow-up were the study limitations. We need a life boat or life jacket during journey. As Orthopeadic Surgeon we are always in danger and Ilizarov method is the life boat technology in orthopedic surgery. It restores bone biology without disturbing the medullary cavity. To avoid repeated surgical intervention and to reduce the cost of treatment, we suggest that gap non-uniting infected tibia-fibula fracture which was primarily open should be fixed by Ilizarov external fixator than continuing treatment with indigenous uniaxial external fixator.

Abstract
Suicide is one of the important cause of death worldwide. The precise effect of childhood adversities as risk factors for the onset and persistence of suicidal behaviour are not well understood. A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Psychiatry, Cumilla Medical College, Cumilla, Bangladesh. All cases were selected from patients attending at Cumilla Medical College hospital and Private Hospitals in Cumilla City from April 2017 to September 2018. We found out the association between childhood adversities and suicidal behaviour over the life course and delineated the types of suicidal behavior. Total 120 cases were included in the study. Respondents provided socio-demographic and diagnostic information, childhood adversities as well as an account of suicide-related thoughts and behaviours. A participation rate was 77.5% female. Of 120 suicidal behavior participants physical abuse was 2.5%, sexual abuse was 16.67%, parental death was 5%, parental divorce was 2.5%, other parental loss was 4.17%, family violence was 5%, physical illness was 1.67%, financial adversity was 3.33% and composite adversity was 59.16%. Among childhood adversities participants suicidal ideation was 70%, suicidal plans was 15.83%, suicidal attempts was 45%, ideators only proceeded to plans was 22.5%, ideation to attempt was 63.33%, planned attempts was 10.83% and impulsive attempts was 52.5%. Among suicidal behavior participant's psychiatric disorders were 65%. Where neurotic disorders were 17%, psychotic disorders were 13%, personality disorders were 44% and others disorder was 26%. Most of the suicidal behavior patients were female 77.5% and age group of 18-24 years. Childhood sexual abuse emerged as a particularly robust risk factor for suicide attempts in younger participants. Childhood physical and sexual abuse emerged as risk factors for the emergence and persistence of suicidal behaviour, especially in adolescence. Two or more childhood adversities were associated with a three fold higher risk of lifetime suicide attempts. Childhood adversities are main risk factors for the onset and persistence of suicidal behaviour. The risks being are the greatest in childhood, adolescence and early adult. A longitudinal follow-up study is required to give a more reliable in Bangladesh.

Abstract
Since the first recorded case of SARS-CoV-2 in Bangladesh on 8th March 2020, COVID-19 has spread widely through different regions of the country, resulting in a necessity to re-evaluate the delivery of cardiovascular services, particularly procedures pertaining to interventional cardiology in resource-limited settings. Given its robust capacity for human-to-human transmission and potential of being a nosocomial source of infection, the disease has specific implications on healthcare systems and health care professionals faced with performing essential cardiac procedures in patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. The limited resources in terms of cardiac catheterization laboratories that can be designated to treat only COVID positive patients are further compounded by the additional challenges of unavailability of widespread rapid testing on-site at tertiary cardiac hospitals in Bangladesh. This document prepared for our nation by the Bangladesh Society of Cardiovascular Interventions (BSCI) is intended to serve as a clinical practice guideline for cardiovascular health care professionals, with a focus on modifying standard practice of care during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to ensure continuation of adequate and timely treatment of cardiovascular emergencies avoiding hospital-based transmission of SARS-COV-2 among healthcare professionals and the patients. This is an evolving document based on currently available global data and is tailored to healthcare systems in Bangladesh with particular focus on, but not limited to, invasive cardiology facilities (cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology & pacing labs). This guideline is limited to the provision of cardiovascular care, and it is expected that specific targeted pharmaco-therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 be prescribed as stipulated by the National Guidelines on Clinical Management of Corona virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) published by the Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of Bangladesh.

Abstract
Pereinatal asphyxia is one of the most important complications related with the process of birth and this complications affect not only the brain but also many other organs. The purpose of this cross sectional study is to compare the role of craniosonogram and CT scan of the brain to delineate the cerebral pathology in respondent of preterm and term infant and to assess the Kappa test for agreement. This study was carried out in the department of Radiology & Imaging of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, during the period of July 2015 to June 2017. A total number of 40 neonates clinically diagnosed as perinatal asphyxia referred for Craniosonogram and Computed tomography (CT) were included in this study. The test of agreement of USG in detection of neonatal cerebral pathology was calculated. Male to female ratio was 1:1.4. More than half (55.0%) patients were preterm age. The mean birth weight was found 2.3±0.6 kg and mean age was 22.7±12.7 days. Fifty five percent respondent mothers had antenatal check up and 27% had anemia, 11% had premature rupture of membrane, 9% had multiple pregnancy and 7% patient had hypertension. Cerebral pathology was found 28 and 31 cases by Craniosonogram and CT scan respectively. Germinal matrix hemorrhage/IVH (Intra ventricular hemorrhage) found 7(17.5%) in USG and 4(10.0%) in CT scan. Hypoxic ischaemic changes with mild ventriculomegaly observed 5(12.5%) in USG and 7(17.5%) in CT scan. Hypoxic ischaemic change found 4(10.0%) in USG and 5(12.5%) in CT scan. In USG evaluation of 28 patients having cerebral pathology & 16(72.7%) had in preterm group and 12(66.7%) in term group. In CT scan of brain 31 patients with cerebral pathology & 15(37.5%) in preterm group and 16(40.0%) in term group. CT scan found cerebral pathology 77.5% (31/40) cases and USG found 70.0% (28/40), with Kappa value was 0.551, which indicates that fair agreement between USG and CT scan for detection of cerebral pathology in respondent. Craniosonogram is a useful method in all neonates specially preterm to see the CNS complication of perinatal asphyxia.

Abstract
The study of the strength and behavior of the antikaon-nucleon (K[over ¯]N) interaction constitutes one of the key focuses of the strangeness sector in low-energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this Letter a unique high-precision measurement of the strong interaction between kaons and protons, close and above the kinematic threshold, is presented. The femtoscopic measurements of the correlation function at low pair-frame relative momentum of (K^{+}p⊕K^{-}p[over ¯]) and (K^{-}p⊕K^{+}p[over ¯]) pairs measured in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=5, 7, and 13 TeV are reported. A structure observed around a relative momentum of 58 MeV/c in the measured correlation function of (K^{-}p⊕K^{+}p[over ¯]) with a significance of 4.4σ constitutes the first experimental evidence for the opening of the (K[over ¯]^{0}n⊕K^{0}n[over ¯]) isospin breaking channel due to the mass difference between charged and neutral kaons. The measured correlation functions have been compared to Jülich and Kyoto models in addition to the Coulomb potential. The high-precision data at low relative momenta presented in this work prove femtoscopy to be a powerful complementary tool to scattering experiments and provide new constraints above the K[over ¯]N threshold for low-energy QCD chiral models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The study was conducted in BRAC-administered areas of the Bangladesh National Tuberculosis (TB) Programme (42 of 64 districts). According to the 2013-2017 financial support scheme, direct costs due to TB diagnosis were reimbursed among economically disadvantaged people with presumptive smear-negative pulmonary (PTB) and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB).OBJECTIVE: To describe the implementation of the scheme and associated changes in case notification.DESIGN: This was a descriptive study involving programme data.RESULTS: Between 2013 and 2017, persons reimbursed reduced from 125 680 to 88 763, and the case detection ratio increased from 18% to 24%. The number of patients with presumptive EPTB who were reimbursed decreased from 5024 to 3484. More than 95% were reimbursed for chest radiograph, fine-needle aspiration cytology and biopsy. However, large numbers of ancillary investigations were also reimbursed. During 2013-2017, the observed national quarterly new smear-negative PTB case notification rates (CNRs) were significantly higher than the forecasted CNRs (based on CNR trends during 2008-2012). New EPTB and all form TB CNRs increased but not significantly.CONCLUSION: Implementation of the financial support scheme was accompanied by a significant improvement in new, smear-negative PTB notification. The absence of a comparison arm was a key limitation, but comparison was not possible as the scheme was implemented in all districts.

Abstract
Anterior resection (AR), especially low anterior resection (LAR), for low rectal cancer and colorectal anastomosis is a technical challenge to surgeons. But by using circular stapling devices now it is possible make more LARs technically feasible. A stapled end-to-end colorectal anastomosis is increasingly adopted following a low anterior resection for low rectal cancer. This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from December 2015 to December 2016. The ensuing doughnuts created from the stapling device are routinely sent for histological analysis. However, its efficacy remains debatable. This study aims to determine the role of sending distal doughnut for histological examination following a stapled end-to-end colorectal anastomosis done in low anterior resection for low rectal cancers.

Abstract
Distal humeral fractures are relatively rare injuries that constitute approximately 2% of all fractures which occur due to high energy trauma in young males. Because they involve the articular surface and usually cause an instable elbow, surgical treatment is necessary for the recovery of elbow functions in the majority of cases. The principles of absolute stabilization and early mobilization in the elbow are of more importance than in any other joint. As the AO classification, nonunion and implant loosening is more common in type C fractures of the distal humerus involving the joint surface. Aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the outcome of "Double Tension Band wiring" method for the treatment of intercondylar fractures of humerus and was conducted in a tertiary hospital of Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2019. Twenty five patients, all presenting with fresh fractures of the distal humerus, treated with double tension band wiring. These patients were prospectively evaluated over a period of at least 6 months. Fractures were classified according to Jupiter classification and AO classification of distal humeral fractures. Due to AO classification, total fractures were C1 fractures. Average age of the patients was 56.20 years (32-70 years). There were 20 males and 5 females. Out of 25 cases treated with this method, rigid fixation and union was achieved in all of them. The average tourniquet time was 69 minutes range was minimum 50 minutes and maximum 120 minutes. Radiological union was achieved at an average of 14.2 weeks (10-18 weeks). Average range of motion was 112.8 degrees (107-116). Excellent to good results were seen in almost 86% of cases as per the Mayo Elbow performance score at 6-month follow-up. Wound infection had been occurred in 2(8%) cases, ulnar nerve neuropathy had been occurred in 1 case, delayed union of olecranon process of ulna had been occurred in 1(4%) case, implant failure had been occurred in 2(8%) cases, heterotrophic ossification had been occurred in 2(8%) cases, varus valgus instability had been occurred in 1(4%) case, gun stock deformity had been occurred in 2(8%) cases. Double tension band wiring is a reliable, less demanding and cost effective method of fixation of intercondylar fractures of humerus.

Abstract
Bone marrow is a source of osteoprogenitor cells which are the most important factor of bone formation and healing of fracture. The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcome of bone marrow injection in the management of delayed union and non-union. This prospective study was performed in the department of Orthopaedics, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2017 to June 2019. In this study 21 patients with delayed union and non-union were treated by bone marrow injection. Bone marrow were aspirated from the anterior or posterior iliac crests then injected percutaneously into the fracture site. Full union was achieved in 15 cases, while failed in the others. No major complications were seen during or after the procedure. It is a safe, easy and a minimally invasive procedure compared to usual open bone graft especially for cases with high risk of anesthesia or risk of infection.

Abstract
This cross sectional study was done to compare serum levels of amylase and lipase between predialysis and maintenance haemodialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and also to find out their relationship between degrees of renal impairment in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital and National Institute of Kidney Diseases and Urology, Dhaka, Bangladesh from May 2016 to April 2017. A total of 80 patients were included purposively as study subjects and made into two groups namely predialysis CKD group comprising 50 patients and other as maintenance haemodialysis group comprising of 30 patients. Among the predialysis group majority of the CKD was caused by glomerulonephritis (48%) followed by diabetes (26%), HTN (2%) and large portion undiagnosed (24%) whereas in the haemodialysis group ESRD was caused by diabetes (46%) followed by glomerulonephritis (16%), HTN (13%) and undiagnosed (23%). This study showed that mean serum amylase (158±718U/L vs. 111±41U/L) did not significantly differ between study groups except being above reference level but serum lipase (739±888U/L vs. 434±214U/L) was significantly higher in the predialysis group. There was a correlation between rising serum creatinine with serum amylase and lipase.

Influence of proportion of wheat in a pasture-based diet on milk yield, methane emissions, methane yield, and ruminal protozoa of dairy cows. J Dairy Sci 2019; 103:2373-2386.

Abstract
Wheat is the most common concentrate fed to grazing dairy cows in Australia, but no studies have examined the effects of wheat proportion in a pasture-based diet on milk production and methane emissions. In this 47-d experiment, 32 Holstein dairy cows were offered 1 of 4 diets during d 1 to 36. Cows in each of the dietary treatment groups were individually offered no wheat (W0) or wheat at 3 kg of dry matter (DM)/d (W3), 6 kg of DM/d (W6), or 9 kg of DM/d (W9). The remainder of the diet was 2.2 kg of DM of concentrate mix and freshly harvested perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) such that all individual cows were offered a total diet of approximately 20.2 kg of DM/d. From d 37 to 47 the diets of cows receiving treatments W0 and W3 remained unchanged, but cows in treatments W6 and W9 received the W3 diet. Individual cow feed intakes, milk yields, milk compositions, and methane emissions were measured for d 31 to 35 (period 1) and d 45 to 47 (period 2). During period 1, the mean intakes of cows offered the W0, W3, W6, and W9 diets were 19.2, 20.4, 20.2, and 19.8 kg of DM/d. Diet caused differences in energy-corrected milk, and means for W0, W3, W6, and W9 were 29.5, 32.4, 33.0, and 32.9 kg/d, respectively. Milk fat percentage differed with respective means of 3.93, 3.94, 3.69, and 3.17. Diets also caused differences in methane emissions, with means for W0, W3, W6, and W9 of 440, 431, 414, and 319 g/d. During period 1, the cows fed the W9 diet produced less methane and had lower methane yields (g/kg of DMI) and intensities (g/kg of energy-corrected milk) than cows fed the W3 diet. However, in period 2 when the wheat intake of cows in the W9 treatment was reduced to the same level as in the W3 treatment, their methane emissions, yields, and intensities were similar to those offered the W3 treatment, yet protozoa numbers in ruminal fluid were still much lower than those in cows offered the W3 treatment. Our research shows that for diets based on perennial ryegrass and crushed wheat, only the diet containing more than 30% crushed wheat resulted in substantially depressed milk fat concentration and reduced methane emissions, methane yield, and methane intensity. Thus, although feeding a diet with a high proportion of wheat can cause substantial methane mitigation, it can come at the cost of depression in milk fat concentration.

Abstract
The first measurement of the ϒ(1S) elliptic flow coefficient (v_{2}) is performed at forward rapidity (2.5<y<4) in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The results are obtained with the scalar product method and are reported as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) up to 15 GeV/c in the 5%-60% centrality interval. The measured ϒ(1S)v_{2} is consistent with 0 and with the small positive values predicted by transport models within uncertainties. The v_{2} coefficient in 2<p_{T}<15 GeV/c is lower than that of inclusive J/ψ mesons in the same p_{T} interval by 2.6 standard deviations. These results, combined with earlier suppression measurements, are in agreement with a scenario in which the ϒ(1S) production in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies is dominated by dissociation limited to the early stage of the collision, whereas in the J/ψ case there is substantial experimental evidence of an additional regeneration component.

Investigations of Anisotropic Flow Using Multiparticle Azimuthal Correlations in pp, p-Pb, Xe-Xe, and Pb-Pb Collisions at the LHC. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2019; 123:142301.

Abstract
Measurements of anisotropic flow coefficients (v_{n}) and their cross-correlations using two- and multiparticle cumulant methods are reported in collisions of pp at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, p-Pb at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV, Xe-Xe at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.44 TeV, and Pb-Pb at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV recorded with the ALICE detector. The multiplicity dependence of v_{n} is studied in a very wide range from 20 to 3000 particles produced in the midrapidity region |η|<0.8 for the transverse momentum range 0.2<p_{T}<3.0 GeV/c. An ordering of the coefficients v_{2}>v_{3}>v_{4} is found in pp and p-Pb collisions, similar to that seen in large collision systems, while a weak v_{2} multiplicity dependence is observed relative to nucleus-nucleus collisions in the same multiplicity range. Using a novel subevent method, v_{2} measured with four-particle cumulants is found to be compatible with that from six-particle cumulants in pp and p-Pb collisions. The magnitude of the correlation between v_{n}^{2} and v_{m}^{2}, evaluated with the symmetric cumulants SC(m,n) is observed to be positive at all multiplicities for v_{2} and v_{4}, while for v_{2} and v_{3} it is negative and changes sign for multiplicities below 100, which may indicate a different v_{n} fluctuation pattern in this multiplicity range. The observed long-range multiparticle azimuthal correlations in high multiplicity pp and p-Pb collisions can neither be described by pythia 8 nor by impact-parameter-Glasma, music, and ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics model calculations, and hence, provide new insights into the understanding of collective effects in small collision systems.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients constitute a large proportion of admissions in coronary care unit and their management and risk stratification is of immense importance. A decrease in serum albumin concentration might be associated with an increased risk in the incident of both cardiovascular diseases and worse hospital outcome. We assessed whether serum albumin levels at admission was associated with in-hospital adverse outcome in patients with first attack of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of the study was to evaluate association of serum albumin level with in-hospital outcome in patients with first attack of acute myocardial infarction. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the department of cardiology in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from March 2017 to February 2018. Total 374 patients of first attack of acute myocardial infarction included considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sample population was divided into two groups: Group I (Patients with acute myocardial infarction with serum albumin <3.5gm/dl) and. Group II (Patients with acute myocardial infarction with serum albumin ≥3.5gm/dl). Serum albumin level was measured within 24 hours of admission and the incidence of in-hospital major cardiac outcomes was observed. In this study mean±SD serum albumin level of Group I, Group II were 3.02±0.12gm/dl, 4.48±0.50gm/dl respectively. In Group I patient, 52(59.80%), 7(8.00%), 10(11.50%), developed heart failure, cardiogenic shock, arrhythmias respectively and 8(9.20%) died and in Group II patient 20(7.90%), 7(2.80%), 8(3.20%) developed heart failure, cardiogenic shock, arrhythmias respectively and 4(1.60%) died out of them and all of these outcome were statistically significant. Mean±SD duration of hospital stay of the study population according serum albumin level, in Group I, 5.76±1.83 days, in Group II, 4.40±1.22 days which was statistically significant (p<0.05). In conclusion, patient with first attack of acute myocardial infarction serum albumin level below 3.50gm/dl increased the risk of worse in-hospital outcome.

Abstract
Severe malnutrition is an important cause of death in children. According to new WHO-growth chart 2006, the proportion of children with severe wasting is 3.1% thus the total number being 4, 65000 (BDHS 2014). Overall risk of death among children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is 9 times more than well nourished children. The death rate among hospitalized children of SAM was as high as 15%. Once properly treated, severely malnourished children would grow up leading a normal life. Severe malnutrition in children can be successfully treated by using WHO guidelines that have been shown to be feasible and sustainable even in small district hospital with limited resources. A randomized controlled trial was conducted at department of Pediatrics, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2014 to September 2015. The trial enrolled 92 SAM patients (46 cases + 46 controls) aged 06 months to 59 months of either sex who meet the inclusion criteria consecutively. Enrolled children were randomized by lottery method into two groups, Group I and Group II. Patients in Group I was treated with F-75 and F-100 recipes and managed in two phases, initial stabilization phase with F-75 recipes then subsequently rehabilitation phase by F-100 recipes. Patients in Group II was treated with prepackaged F-75 & F-100 formulae and feeding was given in two phases i.e. initial stabilization phase and subsequently rehabilitation phase according to national guidelines for the management of severe malnourished children. Then play therapy was given for half an hour daily with red colored toy in Ashic play centre Dhaka Medical College Hospital for patients of both groups. The time (days) taken to return of appetite (mean±SD) was 5.1±1.16 and 4.8±1.34 in Group I and Group II respectively, disappearance of edema (mean±SD) 4.8±1.53 in and 4.9±1.05 for Group I Group II respectively, to gain target weight (mean±SD) 13.8±2.20 days and 13.5±1.74 days in Group I and Group II respectively, rate of weight gain (mean±SD) 17.70±7.07gm/kg/day for Group I and 16.20±4.63gm/kg/day for Group II. The side effects, diarrhea was equal in both group, vomiting was more in Group II, combined diarrhea and vomiting was more in Group I but the differences were not statistically significant. The treatment cost (mean±SD) was higher in Group II (97.2±78.24 BDT/child/day) than in Group I (58.5±54.36 BDT/child/day). Return of appetite and disappearance of oedema and target weight gain were similar in both groups but treatment cost was higher in Group II than Group I, which was statistically significant.

Abstract
Gaucher's disease is one of the important storage disorders. It belongs to the lysosomal storage disorders group. There is defective activity of an enzyme named β-glucosidase which ultimately renders the cell of macrophage lineage loaded with glucocerebrosides. There is multi-organ involvement that manifests as hepatosplenomegaly, variable cytopenias, skeletal disorders, neurological features etc. When serum β-glucosidase level is below 15% of mean normal activity Gaucher's disease is confirmed. Enzyme replacement is the definitive treatment. Here we report a case of type 1 or non-neuropathic form Gauchers disease presented with feeling of a lump in left upper abdomen and progressive generalized weakness and hepatosplenomegaly. Her complete blood count revealed pancytopenia and bone trephine biopsy showed Gaucher's cells. Diagnosis and management may be delayed as this disease is rare. Clinical and bone marrow examination is the mainstay of diagnosis. So emphasis should be given in this regard.

Abstract
This Letter presents the first experimental observation of the attractive strong interaction between a proton and a multistrange baryon (hyperon) Ξ^{-}. The result is extracted from two-particle correlations of combined p-Ξ^{-}⊕p[over ¯]-Ξ[over ¯]^{+} pairs measured in p-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV at the LHC with ALICE. The measured correlation function is compared with the prediction obtained assuming only an attractive Coulomb interaction and a standard deviation in the range [3.6, 5.3] is found. Since the measured p-Ξ^{-}⊕p[over ¯]-Ξ[over ¯]^{+} correlation is significantly enhanced with respect to the Coulomb prediction, the presence of an additional, strong, attractive interaction is evident. The data are compatible with recent lattice calculations by the HAL-QCD Collaboration, with a standard deviation in the range [1.8, 3.7]. The lattice potential predicts a shallow repulsive Ξ^{-} interaction within pure neutron matter and this implies stiffer equations of state for neutron-rich matter including hyperons. Implications of the strong interaction for the modeling of neutron stars are discussed.

Abstract
Pesticides are commonly used in food crop production systems to control crop pests and diseases and ensure maximum yield with high market value. However, the accumulation of these chemical inputs in crop fields increases risks to biodiversity and human health. In addition, people are increasingly seeking foods in which pesticide residues are low or absent and that have been produced in a sustainable fashion. More than half of the world’s human population is dependent on rice as a staple food and chemical pesticides to control pests is the dominant paradigm in rice production. In contrast, the use of natural enemies to suppress crop pests has the potential to reduce chemical pesticide inputs in rice production systems. Currently, predators and parasitoids often do not persist in rice production landscapes due to the absence of shelter or nutritional sources. In this study, we modified the existing rice landscape through an eco-engineering technique that aims to increase natural biocontrol agents for crop protection. In this system, planting nectar-rich flowering plants on rice bunds provides food and shelter to enhance biocontrol agent activity and reduce pest numbers, while maintaining grain yield. The abundance of predators and parasitoids and parasitism rates increased significantly in the eco-engineering plots compared to the insecticide-treated and control plots. Moreover, a significantly lower number of principal insect pests and damage symptoms were found in treatments where flowering plants were grown on bunds than in plots where such plants were not grown. This study indicates that manipulating habitat for natural enemies in rice landscapes enhances pest suppression and maintains equal yields while reducing the need for insecticide use in crop fields.

Abstract
Brachial plexus tumors are rare. Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors and only about 5% arise from brachial plexus. Diagnosis of these tumors are challenging for radiologists as well as clinicians as they are rare and the anatomy of the neck is complex. We report a case of a middle aged woman who was admitted in Mymensingh Medical College in Neurosurgery Department on 15th December 2017 with right supraclavicular swelling; based on the clinical findings was provisionally diagnosed as supraclavicular lymphadenopathy; Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging suggested schwannoma. Complete excision of the mass through supraclavicular approach showed the origin of it from the brachial plexus, which subsequently was confirmed to be a schwannoma with histopathology.

Abstract
Giant-cell tumor constitutes 4-20% of all primary bone tumors in south East Asian population. They are benign locally aggressive bone tumour first described by cooper in 1818. These tumors occur predominantly in meta-epiphyseal region. Most often they are located around the knee joint. Although most of the tumors are diagnosed on plain radiograph alone, varying CT and MRI presentations of these tumors are essential to narrow down the differentials has an extended pre operative assessment.

Abstract
Although nonoperative treatment is indicated & successful for the majority of diaphyseal humeral fractures, nonunion is not rare condition. The prevalence of nonunion as a complication of conservative treatment has been reported to be as high as 15%. Locking compression plate combined with autogenous cancellous bone grafting can result in reliable healing of these humeral nonunion with excellent functional outcome. This prospective observational study was conducted September, 2016 to October, 2018 at National Institute of Traumatulogy & Orthopaedic Rehablitation, Dhaka & Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Fifteen (15) patients with non-united humeral shaft fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by LCP with autogenous cancellous bone graft. Detailed clinical conditions of all patients, duration of injury, technical difficulty with the implant, hospital stay period were recorded. Follow up period was 6 months. The patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically for outcomes. The progresses of healing as well as occurrence of complications were recorded. The modified Constant and Murley score of functional assessment was used for shoulder & elbow function. Age of the study patients was ranged 20-50 years. Maximum patients were male 12. Mode of injury were found road traffic accident 8 cases, fall from height 5 cases. Right side was injured in 9 patients. Atrophic nonunion was found in 13 patients and hypertropic in 2 patients. The mean union time was 15 weeks. Only one patient had wound infection and 2 patients had shoulder stiffness. Functional outcome which constituted 90% satisfactory results in 13 cases according to modified Constant & Murley scoring system. Union rate was 100%. Therefore, LCP fixation with autogenous cancellous bone graft is a standard treatment method for nonunion of humeral shaft fracture.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to determine the morphological structure and the branches of the lumbosacral plexus in the indigenous duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus). Six mature indigenous ducks were used in this study. After administering an anesthetic to the birds, the body cavities were opened. The nerves of the lumbosacral plexus were dissected separately and photographed. The lumbosacral
plexus consisted of lumbar and sacral plexus innervated to the hind limb. The lumbar plexus was formed by the union of three roots of spinal nerves that included last two and first sacral spinal nerve. Among three roots, second (middle) root was the highest in diameter and the last root was least in diameter. We noticed five branches of the lumbar plexus which included obturator, cutaneous femoral, saphenus, cranial coxal, and the femoral nerve. The six roots of spinal nerves, which contributed to form three
trunks, formed the sacral plexus of duck. The three trunks united medial to the acetabular foramen and formed a compact, cylindrical bundle, the ischiatic nerve. The principal branches of the sacral plexus were the tibial and fibular nerves that together made up the ischiatic nerve. Other branches were the caudal coxal nerve, the caudal femoral cutaneous nerve and the muscular branches. This study was the first work on the lumbosacral plexus of duck and its results may serve as a basis for further investigation on this subject.

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to determine whether deep tubewells installed through arsenic mitigation efforts in rural Bangladesh provide better drinking water microbial quality compared to shallow tubewells. We conducted a stratified random cross-sectional survey of 484 households to assess microbial contamination of deep tubewell water at source and at point of use (POU) compared to shallow tubewell water using the Compartment Bag Test. In addition, we measured storage time, distance, travel time and ownership status among both sets of users to assess deep tubewell efficacy and under what conditions they offer poorer or better water quality. Differences in tubewell characteristics were compared using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U tests and two-proportion Z-tests. Prevalence ratios of microbial contamination stratified by water quality, storage time and distance to tubewells and ownership were estimated using unadjusted Mantel-Haenszel tests. There was no significant difference in microbial contamination between shallow and deep tubewells at source. The presence of POU water microbial contamination in storage containers in deep tubewell households was 1.11 times the prevalence in shallow tubewell storage containers (95% CI = 0.97-1.27). Deep tubewell users stored water longer and walked significantly farther to obtain water compared to shallow tubewell users. Among deep tubewell households, those residing farther away from the source were 1.24 times as likely to drink contaminated water from storage containers compared to those located nearby (95% CI = 1.04-1.48). Our findings suggest that deep tubewells have comparable water quality to shallow tubewells at source, but increasing distance from the household exacerbates risk of microbial contamination at POU.
