Abstract
Acute exacerbations of COPD is characterized by a change in the patients baseline dyspnoea, cough and/or sputum that is beyond normal day to day differences and guides to a change in standard medications in a patient with COPD. Vitamin D influences the innate & adaptive immune system, and exerts pleiotropic antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory responses. Vitamin D deficiency is frequent among COPD patients but its contributory role in disease exacerbations is widely debated. This study was aimed to assess relationship between reduced serum vitamin D (25-OHD) level with COPD severity and acute exacerbation. This observational cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of Respiratory Medicine, NIDCH, Mohakhali, Dhaka, Bangladesh from October 2016 to September 2017. Consecutive 80 hospital admitted patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease diagnosed on the basis of clinical history & pulmonary function tests and 78 age & sex matched controls were investigated for serum vitamin D (25-OHD) level. Among the COPD patients, 37% had Vitamin D deficiency (<20ng/ml) and 28.75% had Vitamin D insufficiency (20-29ng/ml). Mean vitamin D (25-OHD) level of COPD patients (25.82±10.62ngm/ml) was found to be significantly lower than healthy controls (32.57±11.32ngm/ml). Vitamin D deficiency was found, by Pearson correlation test, to be significantly associated with severity of COPD. Multivariate analysis showed that age (in years), FEV1 (percent predicted), frequent exacerbators (≥2 in the last year), and smoking (>40 pack year) were significantly associated with Vitamin D deficiency. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients was found to have vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with severity of COPD. Vitamin D deficiency was also associated with frequent disease exacerbation.

Abstract
The standard treatment of high variety anorectal malformation (ARM) is the staged approach. A growing interest in one stage correction of high variety ARM was noted recently. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility, safety and outcome of single stage correction of High variety ARM. This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Mymensingh, Bangladesh from July 2012 to September 2013. It was conducted among 30 patients, all having high ARM. The type of ARM was diagnosed by clinical examinations and imaging studies like Invertogram and Transperineal USG. Other associated congenital anomalies were excluded. Out of 30 patients 11(36.67%) were male and 19(63.33%) were female. The age incidence ranges from 2 days to 5 months with the mean±SD age 1.70±1.63 months. The type of fistula present along with ARM in male varies from rectobulber urethral fistula, recto prostatic urethral fistula, recto vesical fistula and in one case without any fistula. Type of fistula was rectovestibular, rectovaginal and one cloacal malformation among the female patients. The treatment modalities in male patients vary in transabdominal pull through anorectoplasty and PSARP, in which the former was done more (72.73%). In case of female patients, treatment modalities vary in transabdominal pull through and anorectoplasty and transfistulous anorectoplasty, with the later done more (52.63%). Regarding post operative complications, there was 1(14.29%) wound infection in male and 1(33.33%) in female, partial wound disruption in 1(14.29%) male patient, mucosal prolapse 2(28.57%) in male and 1(33.33%) in female, anal stenosis 1(14.29%) in male and 1(33.33%) in female, perianal soiling in 1(14.29%) male patient. All the complications were treated by adopting various measures. One stage correction of High variety ARM in both male and female patients is technically feasible. The safeties of this approach depend on the adherence to strict inclusion criteria. The early post operative complications are acceptable and can be managed successfully.

Abstract
The extranodal lymphoma of the base of the tongue is extremely rare. Among the lymphoma of the tongue; B cell lymphoma is more common than T cell lymphoma. It should be included in the differentials in patients with tumors arising from this site. Early detection and treatment can often result in a complete cure and a better long-term survival.
Background Lymphomas are malignant neoplasms of the lymphocyte cell lines affecting the lymph nodes, spleen and other nonhemopoietic tissues. Of the extranodal lymphomas found in the head and neck region, 3–5% of malignant lymphomas arise in the oral and paraoral region, mainly from Waldeyer's ring. The involvement of the base of the tongue is extremely rare. Summarised Case Case 1: 64 year old female who presented initially with an enlarged occipital lymph node which gradually became generalized cervical lymphadenopathy with initial histology confirmed reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. Biopsy of left postero-lateral tongue lesion eventually showed high grade T cell lymphoma. Case 2: 85 year old male presented with history of dysphagia for one year who was found to have a lesion extending from his base of tongue into the nasopharynx. Histology showed a diffuse B cell lymphoma. Discussion Both patients were noted to have lesion of the tongue, but tongue lesions are noted in the literature to be extremely rare. When tongue lymphomas do occur, most are of B-cell origin; the diffuse large-cell variety is the most common. Extranodal lymphomas of the T cell phenotype tend more to be sinonasal in origin than of the tongue, with T cell lymphomas of the tongue being even rarer than B cell lymphomas. Conclusion With regards to tumours arising in the tongue, squamous cell carcinomas are still classified as the most common. Lymphomas however, should still be kept in consideration as a differential diagnosis with regards to lesions arising from this site.

Abstract
Local post traumatic kyphosis may impair spinal sagittal balance and result in seven disability and programmed neurological deficit. In operative group the mean±SD fracture kyphosis was 34.21±3.7 at the time of admission and mean±SD kyphosis was 17.64±3.20 at the time of final follow up. In conservative group the mean±SD kyphosis was 32.96±4.06 at the time of admission and mean±SD kyphosis was 40.28±4.72 at the time of final follow up. It is interesting to note that in conservative group kyphosis increased (7.3) during final follow up but decreased (16.57) in operative group during final follow up due to spinal instrumentation and post-lateral fusion. Local post traumatic kyphosis may impair spinal sagittal balance and result in severe disability and progressive neurological deficit. Objective of the study is to find out the better option in the management of post traumatic kyphotic deformity in thoracolumbar Spain injury. The quasi-experimental study was carried out at the National Institute of Traumatology & Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2006 to December 2008. A total number of 40 patients with post traumatic thoracolumbar spine injuries with kyphotic deformity selected purposively. Out of 40 cases 1 patient missed from final follow up. Rest of 39 patients was included in this study. All patients were admitted within 3 weeks of injury. Most were referred from peripheral hospital & some were admitted in emergency and outpatient department of NITOR. Among those 25 patients were conservatively treated and 14 were operatively treated. In operative group the mean±SD fracture kyphosis was 34.21±3.7 at the time of admission and mean±SD kyphosis was 17.64±3.20 at the time of final follow up. In conservative group the mean±SD kyphosis was 32.96±4.06 at the time of admission and mean±SD kyphosis was 40.28±4.72 at the time of final follow up. It is to note that in conservative group kyphosis increased (7.3) during final follow up but decreased (16.57) in operative group during final follow up due to spinal instrumentation and post-lateral fusion.

Abstract
Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) is an uncommon, benign and extremely vascular tumour which accounts for 0.05-0.5% of all head and neck tumours. Now a day, endoscopic excision is a preferred surgery for early cases. This study was done with the aim to compare the outcomes and complications between endoscopic and conventional surgery of JNA. This cross sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology & Head-Neck Surgery at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from 8 March 2014 to 7 March, 2015. A total number of 20 cases were purposively selected and patient with intracranial extension were excluded from the study. Data was analyzed with SPSS software. Among the 20 patients, maximum 18(90%) were in 2nd decade, age was ranging from 11-33 years, mean 16.17 years. Maximum patients 13(65%) came with nasal obstruction and epistaxis and majority 13(65%) of them were in stage II. Endoscopic excision was done in 12(60%) cases and conventional surgery was done in 7(35%) cases. Mean hospital stay of endoscopic and conventional group was 4.62 vs. 10.23 days. Mean blood loss and mean operative time were 528.12ml vs. 1050ml and 2 hours 17 minutes vs. 3 hours 28 minutes respectively. Per-operative and postoperative complication were more (53.85%) in conventional surgery group. Endoscopic excision of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is more preferable due to less operative time, less hospital stay, less per-operative blood loss and less complications. But in advanced cases conventional surgery and combined surgery is preferred.

Abstract
Tick infestation is commonly found in every commercial cattle farm and domestically reared cattle. Farm generally used acaricides to treat tick infestation; however finding new, cheap and alternative source of acaricides is a prime concern. Here, we investigated the in-vitro efficacy of verenda (Ricinus communis) leaves extracts to treat tick infestation. We prepared aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extract of verenda leaves to apply on ticks. A total of 90 ticks (both hard ticks and soft ticks) was collected from cattle in local area of Mymensingh region and divided into 3 treatment groups: A (aqueous), B (ethanol), C (methanol) and D (control). All groups were sub-divided into 3 sub-groups on the basis of concentration of 1%, 2% and 3% treatments. Ticks were treated with different concentration of extract and observation of tick was performed 12, 24 and 36 hours interval. The whole experiment was repeated thrice. Our data suggests 3% methanolic extract confer highest efficacy against ticks and verenda leaves extract could be used alternatively as acaricides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Non-infectious uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the eye commonly treated by corticosteroids, though important side effects may result. A main mediator of inflammation are oxygen free radicals generated in iron-dependent pathways. As such, we investigated the efficacy of a novel iron chelator, DIBI, as an anti-inflammatory agent in local and systemic models of endotoxin induced uveitis (EIU). METHODS Firstly, the effects of DIBI in systemic EIU in Lewis rats were established. 2 hours post intravenous LPS or LPS/DIBI injections, leukocyte activation and functional capillary density (FCD) were examined using intravital microscopy (IVM) of the iridial microcirculation. Secondly, the toxicity of DIBI was evaluated in BALB/C mice for both acute and chronic dosages through gross ocular examination, intraocular pressure measurements and hematoxylin-eosin staining of ocular tissue. Lastly, three groups of BALB/C mice, control, LPS or DIBI + LPS, were studied to evaluate the effectiveness of DIBI in treating local EIU. Five hours post-local intravitreal (i.v) injection, leukocyte activation and capillary density were examined via IVM. RESULTS Treatment of systemic EIU with DIBI resulted in a reduction of leukocyte activation and FCD improvement within the iridial microcirculation. Toxicity studies suggested that acute and chronic DIBI administration had no adverse effects in the eye. In the local EIU model, DIBI was shown to reduce leukocyte activation and restored the FCD/DCD ratio, providing evidence for its anti-inflammatory properties. CONCLUSIONS Our study has provided evidence that DIBI has anti-inflammatory effects in experimental uveitis. Additionally, no local ocular toxicity was observed.

Abstract
Bangladesh faces huge challenges in achieving food security due to its high population, diet changes, and limited room for expanding cropland and cropping intensity. The objective of this study is to assess the degree to which Bangladesh can be self-sufficient in terms of domestic maize, rice and wheat production by the years 2030 and 2050 by closing the existing gap (Yg) between yield potential (Yp) and actual farm yield (Ya), accounting for possible changes in cropland area. Yield potential and yield gaps were calculated for the three crops using well-validated crop models and site-specific weather, management and soil data, and upscaled to the whole country. We assessed potential grain production in the years 2030 and 2050 for six land use change scenarios (general decrease in arable land; declining ground water tables in the north; cropping of fallow areas in the south; effect of sea level rise; increased cropping intensity; and larger share of cash crops) and three levels of Yg closure (1: no yield increase; 2: Yg closure at a level equivalent to 50% (50% Yg closure); 3: Yg closure to a level of 85% of Yp (irrigated crops) and 80% of water-limited yield potential or Yw (rainfed crops) (full Yg closure)). In addition, changes in demand with low and high population growth rates, and substitution of rice by maize in future diets were also examined. Total aggregated demand of the three cereals (in milled rice equivalents) in 2030 and 2050, based on the UN median population variant, is projected to be 21 and 24% higher than in 2010. Current Yg represent 50% (irrigated rice), 48-63% (rainfed rice), 49% (irrigated wheat), 40% (rainfed wheat), 46% (irrigated maize), and 44% (rainfed maize) of their Yp or Yw. With 50% Yg closure and for various land use changes, self-sufficiency ratio will be > 1 for rice in 2030 and about one in 2050 but well below one for maize and wheat in both 2030 and 2050. With full Yg closure, self-sufficiency ratios will be well above one for rice and all three cereals jointly but below one for maize and wheat for all scenarios, except for the scenario with drastic decrease in boro rice area to allow for area expansion for cash crops. Full Yg closure of all cereals is needed to compensate for area decreases and demand increases, and then even some maize and large amounts of wheat imports will be required to satisfy demand in future. The results of this analysis have important implications for Bangladesh and other countries with high population growth rate, shrinking arable land due to rapid urbanization, and highly vulnerable to climate change.

Abstract
SETTING National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital, Dhaka; Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, Dhaka; and Chittagong Chest Disease Hospital, Chittagong, Bangladesh. OBJECTIVE To present operational data and discuss the challenges of implementing FAST (Find cases Actively, Separate safely and Treat effectively) as a tuberculosis (TB) transmission control strategy. DESIGN FAST was implemented sequentially at three hospitals. RESULTS Using Xpert® MTB/RIF, 733/6028 (12.2%, 95%CI 11.4-13.0) patients were diagnosed with unsuspected TB. Patients with a history of TB who were admitted with other lung diseases had more than twice the odds of being diagnosed with unsuspected TB as those with no history of TB (OR 2.6, 95%CI 2.2-3.0, P < 0.001). Unsuspected multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) was diagnosed in 89/1415 patients (6.3%, 95%CI 5.1-7.7). Patients with unsuspected TB had nearly five times the odds of being diagnosed with MDR-TB than those admitted with a known TB diagnosis (OR 4.9, 95%CI 3.1-7.6, P < 0.001). Implementation challenges include staff shortages, diagnostic failure, supply-chain issues and reliance on external funding. CONCLUSION FAST implementation revealed a high frequency of unsuspected TB in hospitalized patients in Bangladesh. Patients with a previous history of TB have an increased risk of being diagnosed with unsuspected TB. Ensuring financial resources, stakeholder engagement and laboratory capacity are important for sustainability and scalability.

Abstract
According to the Centers for Disease Control, heart failure (HF) remains a pervasive condition with high morbidity and mortality, affecting 5.8 million people in the United States and 23 million worldwide. For patients with refractory end-stage HF, heart transplantation is the "gold standard" for definitive treatment. However, the demand for heart transplantation has consistently exceeded the availability of donor hearts, with approximately 2331 orthotopic heart transplantations performed in the United States in 2015 despite an estimated 100 000 to 250 000 patients with New York Heart Association class IIIB or IV symptoms that are refractory to medical treatment, making such patients potential transplant candidates. As such, the need for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) to treat patients with end-stage HF has become paramount. In this review, we focus on the history, advancements, and current use of durable MCS device therapy in the treatment of advanced heart failure.

Abstract
Several aspects of the management of suspected testicular torsion are controversial. A questionnaire was mailed to all 33 consultant urologists in the North West region of England to elicit their policies for routine clinical management. 29 of 33 questionnaires were returned (2 incomplete). As regards radiological investigation, 4 consultants always request ultrasound examination; the others do not favour routine imaging. When the diagnosis of testicular torsion is confirmed at operation, all consultants would perform bilateral testicular fixation, although with considerable variations in technique; most use Vicryl sutures (66%) and three-point fixation (57%). One-third would do an ipsilateral orchidopexy if there was no clear evidence of testicular torsion at operation. The variation revealed by this survey prompted an attempt to formulate a protocol for management. A review of the published work indicates that, in cases of proven testicular torsion, treatment should include bilateral fixation with delayed-absorption or nonabsorbable sutures; fixation should be at three points. When torsion is not found at operation, there is no evidence of benefit from orchidopexy.

Abstract
Family structure is an important factor for children's overall development. In this cross sectional study, we explored how single parenting relates to child's language development in slums of Dhaka city, Bangladesh from 31st August 2010 to 9th February 2011. Children aged 10 to 24 months (n=133), living with mother only and those living with both parents were included. Children's comprehensive and expressive language development was assessed using the Bengali version of Mac Arthur's Communicative Development Inventory (MCDI). Family care indicators (FCI) were used to assess quality of psychosocial stimulation at home, maternal depression was assessed using Centre for Epidemiological Studies - Depression (CES-D) questionnaire and socioeconomic status (SES) of the family was determined using a previously tested questionnaire. We analyzed the data using multivariate analysis. Maternal depression scores were higher in single mothers compared to those living with their husband and more depressed mothers provided less stimulating environment for the child. Children in the single parent families had lower scores on FCI and their comprehension and expression scores were slightly lower. Multiple regressions analysis showed that children's comprehension {B (95%CI), 0.19 (0.07, 0.32), p=0.003} and expression {0.18 (0.02, 0.35), p=0.032} scores were significantly higher in those living with both parents. Steps to educate parents on the importance of a healthy family life needs to be taken in order to ensure development of children to achieve their full potentials. Further long-term effects of living without father on children's development needs to be explored in Bangladesh.

Abstract
This paper presents and examine a mathematical system of equations which describes the dynamics of pine wilt disease (PWD). Firstly, we examine the model with constant controls. Here, we investigate the disease equilibria and calculate the basic reproduction number of the disease. Secondly, we incorporate time dependent controls into the model and then analyze the conditions that are necessary for the disease to be controlled optimally. Finally, the numerical results for the model are presented.
