Abstract
Reconstruction of lower leg and ankle defect with exposed bone or tendon is a challenging task for a Plastic Surgeon. There are various options, among them perforator based propeller flap is a very good option though this is a microsurgical procedure but no need of microvascular anastomosis. This study was designed to see the clinical results of Posterior tibial artery perforator based propeller flap for lower leg and ankle defect coverage. The study was a prospective observational study. It was conducted in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2018. Sample size was 9. Sampling was carried out purposively. Postoperative follow up period was up to 6 weeks. Among the 9 cases, 8 flaps completely survived, 1 case developed marginal necrosis which was secondarily healed. There were total 2 complications among 9 cases i.e. transient venous congestion and superficial epidermonecrolysis which were resolved spontaneously. Regarding the cause of the defect, maximum cases were post traumatic wound (66.7%), others were post infective, post malignancy excision and post electric burn wound. Defect size was 2cm×2cm to 7cm×5cm. Maximum dimension of the flap was 19cm×6cm and minimum size was 7cm×3cm. Posterior tibial artery perforator location was 4cm to 9cm from lowest level of medial malleolous (mean 6.2±1.6cm). Rotation of the flap was 145°-180° (mean 163°±1.39°). In all cases donor site was covered with split thickness skin graft. Operation time was 120 minutes to 180 minutes; mean operative time was 143.3±2.38 minutes. After operation hospital stay was 10 days to 21 days, mean 11.44±3.64 days. So, posterior tibial artery perforator based propeller flap for lower leg and ankle defect coverage is a very good option.

Azimuthal Anisotropy of Heavy-Flavor Decay Electrons in p-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2019; 122:072301.

Abstract
Angular correlations between heavy-flavor decay electrons and charged particles at midrapidity (|η|<0.8) are measured in p-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. The analysis is carried out for the 0%-20% (high) and 60%-100% (low) multiplicity ranges. The jet contribution in the correlation distribution from high-multiplicity events is removed by subtracting the distribution from low-multiplicity events. An azimuthal modulation remains after removing the jet contribution, similar to previous observations in two-particle angular correlation measurements for light-flavor hadrons. A Fourier decomposition of the modulation results in a positive second-order coefficient (v_{2}) for heavy-flavor decay electrons in the transverse momentum interval 1.5<p_{T}<4 GeV/c in high-multiplicity events, with a significance larger than 5σ. The results are compared with those of charged particles at midrapidity and those of inclusive muons at forward rapidity. The v_{2} measurement of open heavy-flavor particles at midrapidity in small collision systems could provide crucial information to help interpret the anisotropies observed in such systems.

Abstract
Haemophagocytosis encompasses phagocytosis of erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets and their precursors by macrophages in bone marrow and other tissues. Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) usually presents with high fever, pancytopenia, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, haemophagocytosis in bone marrow, liver, lymphnodes or CSF. We report coagulase negative Staphylococcus induced HLH in a 16 year old boy presenting with high grade fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia with neutropenic sepsis in the department of Medicine, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh on 28th November 2016. He responded to high dose dexamethasone and management of neutropenic sepsis. This might give a guidance in the management of haemophagocytic syndrome at the earliest time to prevent morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Bangladesh is increasing. Chronic kidney disease refers to an irreversible deterioration in renal function which classically develops over a period of years. Initially, it manifest's only as a biochemical abnormality. Eventually loss of excretory, metabolic and endocrine functions of the kidneys leads to clinical symptoms and signs of renal failure, which are referred to as uraemia. In our country the number of CKD patient is increasing day by day, probably due to having uncontrolled DM, GN(Glumerulonephritis), uncontrolled hypertension, interstitial nephritis in addition to indiscriminate drugs & using of chemicals in fruits and foods. Objective of the study was to find out the morphological pattern of anaemia in patient with chronic kidney disease. This was a cross sectional observational study. This study was carried out at the Department of Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2011 to June 2011. Patients admitted in medicine ward male or female who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study were taken as study subjects. The socio demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, risk factors, investigations and findings of diagnostic modalities and outcome were recorded. Mean age was 55.8 years of the patients who were included in this study, youngest patient is of 19 years old & older one is of 85 years. In this study 33 patients were male & 17 patients were female. Thirty three (33) patients were suffering from normocytic normochromic anaemia, 11 were suffering from microcytic hypochromic anaemia & rest 6 were suffering from combined deficiency. Female patient were suffering mainly from microcytic hypochromic anaemia (58.8%) & male patient suffered from normocytic normochromic anaemia (69.7%). CKD patients also suffered from microcytic hypochromic anaemia & also from combined deficiency.

Abstract
Dyspepsia is a symptom complex that includes epigastric pain, post-prandial fullness, bloating, early satiety, belching, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, acid regurgitations and anorexia. The most widely applied definition of dyspepsia is the Rome working team formulation namely chronic or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen. Till date the prevalence of dyspepsia in Bangladesh has not been studied much. The last study was done in 1987 in a rural community and the prevalence of dyspepsia was found to be 41.4%. However, associated risk factors were not assessed and definition of dyspepsia was much narrower as well as the dysmotility type dyspepsia was not included in that study. Hence it is now high time to carry out another study to see the prevalence of dyspepsia in Bangladesh and the risk factors associated with it. To determine the prevalence of dyspepsia and the demographic risk factors associated with dyspepsia in the adult population in the rural community of Bangladesh. This cross sectional population based study carried out in Ghior Union of Manikgonj district of Bangladesh from January 2007 to April 2008. All persons 18 years or above living in Ghior Union were considered as the study populations with using a pre-designed questionnaire. This study showed that the prevalence of dyspepsia to be 61.9%. Reflux- like dyspepsia was the commonest sub-type of dyspepsia without reflux symptoms comprising 43.9% of the total population and 70.9% of the dyspeptics. Dysmotility like dyspepsia comprised more than half of the dyspeptics. Nausea (40.7%) was the most predominant dysmotility like dyspeptic symptoms followed by early satiety (38.4%); 13.9% of the population had history of recurrent upper abdominal pain and 11.9% of the population had gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). There was considerable overlapping (16.7%) of IBS with dyspepsia. Female sex, younger age (<40 years), low family income (<5000 Taka per month), lower educational level (up to primary level), smoking and use of NSAIDs were significantly associated with dyspepsia. The prevalence of dyspepsia in adult population of Bangladesh is 61.9% which is very high compared to other countries and also much higher than the prevalence found in our country thirty years back. A great change in the socio-economic status and lifestyle of the people along with environmental pollution and food adulteration may be responsible for this increase in prevalence. This study was conducted in only one union of this country, so it was not representative of the whole population of the country. Therefore further study with large population size including rural and urban peoples from different parts of Bangladesh is needed to estimate the accurate prevalence of dyspepsia in our country.

Abstract
The aim of this prospective experimental study was to analyze the radiological and clinical results of the supra condylar fracture of Humerus in children and conducted the functional outcome of closed reduction and internal fixation by percutaneous Kirschner-wire from lateral side and crossed technique in the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Sher-E-Bangla Nagor, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2011 to June 2013. Patients diagnosed as closed Supracondylar fracture of Humerus in children due to trauma were the study population. Total 30 patients aged 2 to 12 years irrespective of sex were included in the study and were divided in 2 groups. Information obtained included age, sex, type of fracture, management, outcomes and complications. The mean age was 7.80±2.08 and 5.93±2.31 years for Group I and Group II patients. Age range was 2-12 years. Males were predominant 11(73.3%) Group I and Group II. Fractures were primarily caused by fall from tree and left side predominant. In Group I the time elapsed between injury and surgery was minimum 2 hours and maximum 24 hours with mean±SD was 9.20±7.20, while in Group II minimum and maximum of 3 and 48 hours respectively with mean±SD was 9.60±11.01. Minimum and maximum post operative hospital stays were 1 and 2 days in Group I and Group II. Follow-up were carried out after 1, 3, 6 and 12 weeks of operation. Loss of post operative range of motion of elbow and loss of carrying angle was not significant (p>0.05). Functional outcome was analyzed by Flynn's grading. In this study there were 3(20%) cases with excellent, 10(66.67%) were good and 2(13.33%) were fair functional outcomes in Group I. In Group II excellent, good and fair functional outcome were 3(20%), 9(60%) and 3(20%) respectively. After chi-square test there was no significant difference between two groups.

Abstract
Stroke is leading cause of death world wide, after coronary artery disease and cancer. A high proportion of patients suffering from an acute stress such as stroke or myocardial infarction may develop hyperglycemia, even in the absence of a preexisting diagnosis of diabetes. An observational comparative study was carried out at the Department of Neurology and Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from July 2011 to June 2013 among purposively selected ninety-three patients with a view to assess the outcome of stress hyperglycemia on acute stroke. Data were collected through interview, physical examinations & laboratory investigations by using case record form. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (Statistical package for social science) version 17. The mean age of this study was 59.04±15.01 years in the hyperglycemic group and 62.06±13.81 years in the normoglycemic group. The male female ratio in the Hyperglycemic and normoglycemic group was 2.12:1 and 2.44:1 respectively. Smoker was 48.8% in the hyperglycemic group and 52% in the normoglycemic group. 70% of the Hyperglycemic group and 66% of the normoglycemic were found hypertensive. Mean±SD blood glucose level was found 11.86±0.58mmol/L in the Hyperglycemic group and 6.50±1.55mmol/L in the normoglycemic group. Mean HbAlc were 6.14±0.56 in hyperglycemic group and 5.29±0.54 in normoglycemic group. Stroke severity score were 21.79±11.85 in Hyperglycemic and 28.64±9.53 in normoglycemic group on admission. Functional outcome was measured on discharge & at the end of 4th weeks of every patient by Glasgo Outcome Scale (GOS). The study also suggests that stress hyperglycemia is an important risk factor of poor stroke outcome.

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
We conducted a study to evaluate the reliability of the medial hemi-soleus muscle flap for wound coverage of infected open fracture of distal third of tibia. Wound coverage of exposed lower third tibia and ankle region remains a difficult task. Muscle flaps are preferred for infected wounds especially where there are exposed bone, joint and/or tendons. Soleus muscle is a good option for local reconstruction. Soleus being the prime ankle plantar flexor and stabilizer of the ankle in ambulation cannot be sacrificed without significant morbidity. Soleus is a bipennate muscle with independent blood supply of each half. Using one half retains its important function, increases arc of rotation, and makes it easy to orientate for coverage of defect of any shape thus obviating the need for use of whole Soleus muscle flap. So, medial hemisoleus muscle flap is a superior option than the whole Soleus. This post-intervention prospective study which was descriptive in nature was conducted at department of Orthopedics, Community Based Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2012 to December 2012. Ten patients with distal third tibial defects were included in the study. Data was obtained by history taking, observation, clinical examination, supported by routine laboratory and radiological investigations. Before intervention they underwent to careful vascular study of the affected limb through Doppler ultrasonography. All the patients were provided soft tissue coverage with distally based medial hemi-soleus muscle flaps with split thickness skin graft on it. All the flaps survived with primary healing of the wound. Among the participants there were 7 male and 3 female with average age 44.60 years, SD 13.73 years. Eight patients were injured by road traffic accident and 2 patients had history of alleged assault. The wound size defects in primary site ranged from 4cm to 9cm in length and 3cm to 6.5cm in breadth. All the wounds in the primary site were infected. The fractures in the primary site were open fractures involving distal third of tibia. In the secondary site the injuries were fracture upper third tibia in the other lower limb 2, fracture femur on other lower limb 1, dislocation shoulder joint on the same side upper limb 1. The follow up period ranged from 8-16 weeks (average 12 weeks). The outcome was successful. All flaps survived without complication. Hemisoleus muscle flap is a valuable local option for soft tissue coverage of distal third of leg. It does not sacrifice the whole soleus muscle. Due to its longer arc of rotation, this flap can cover the defect of different size and shape in distal third of leg.

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
Ewing's Sarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and young adults after osteosarcoma but exceptionally it can arise from extra skeletal sites also. Extra skeletal Ewing's sarcoma is of neuroectodermal origin and usually involves extremities, retroperitoneum and paravertebral regions. No case of extra skeletal Ewing's sarcoma involving perineum is yet reported. A 16 years old male patient admitted to colorectal surgery department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh in July 2015 having swellings in perineum as well as both inguinal regions. The swelling was near to anal verge. FNAC from perineal swelling and inguinal lymph node demonstrate small blue round cell tumor. After operation the tumor size was 5cm×4cm, cell type was malignant round cell arranged in sheet and perivascular forming rosette. Extra skeletal Ewing's sarcoma can be a differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumor arising in perineum.

Abstract
This cross sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Nephrology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from April 2009 to March 2010. Samples were collectedfrom rural area of Khalishaur union of Purbadhala upazilla in Netrakona District, 30km away from Mymensingh Town. The main objective of the study was to find out the prevalence of microalbuminuria as well as overt proteinuria in diabetes mellitus in a rural population and to observe their association with renal function. In this study 1048 adult participants of 18 to 65 years in a rural area of Netrakona were included purposively as study subjects. Among them 54% were male and 46% were female. Mean age of study subjects was 42.4±13.4 years. Prevalence of microalbuminuria among diabetic participants was 29.72% where as in non diabetic non hypertensive participants it was 6.62%. Diabetic persons 9.45% and 3.9% of non diabetic participants showed overt proteinuria by dipstick test. Prevalence of hypertension in diabetic and non diabetic participants was 45.94% and 16.52% respectively. The mean eCCr of the diabetic patients and non-microalbuminuric healthy persons was 78.4±25.4 ml/min/1.73m² and 94.67±24.8 ml/min/l.73m² respectively according to Cock Croft-Gault equation. The mean eCCr of diabetic participants with overt proteinuria was 57.44±28.33 ml/min/l.73m² but diabetic patients with microalbuminuria had better mean eCCr 80.62±21.17 ml/min/1.73m² which justifies the importance of detection of microalbuminuria for early intervention. By regression analysis it was found that degree of microalbuminuria had linear relation with renal function and random blood sugar level. Neither BMI nor duration of diabetes showed any correlation with urine microalbumin. There was no effect of sex on the prevalence of microalbuminuria in diabetes mellitus. Microalbuminuria is the first sign of renal involvement in diabetic patients which is a risk factor for overt nephropathy. Monitoring of this condition is important because early treatment of microalbuminuria can prevent or postpone overt nephropathy.

Abstract
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to find out the role of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of time of brain insult in cerebral palsy (CP). The study was conducted in the Department of Radiology & Imaging, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh and a total number of 35 patients with were enrolled from January 2015 to December 2016. Maximum patients (57.2%) were under five years followed by 34.3% were of 5 to <8 years and 8.7% were of 8 to <12 years of age and mean age was 4.7 years. Majority of the patients were male 28(80%) and female were 7(20%). Among the patients 23(65.7%) came from poor, whereas 11(31.4%) came from middle class and only one (2.9%) from rich socioeconomic group. According to gestational age of the patients, 26(74.3%) were term (≥37weeks) at delivery and rest (25.7%) were preterm (<37 weeks). Delayed cry after birth were present in 32 (80%) patients. Regarding types of cerebral palsy spastic diplegia, spastic quadriplegia, hemiplegia and extrapyramidal were found 3(8.6%), 25(71.4%), 4(11.4%) and 3(8.6%) respectively. Abnormal MRI was reported in 94.2% patients and gave clues to time of insult in 79.9% (excluding the 14.3% miscellaneous findings). The findings were mal-developments (5.7%), periventricular white matter lesions (25.7%), cortical or deep grey matter lesions (48.6%), miscellaneous (14.3%) and normal (5.7%). Brain mal-developments were more seen in term than in preterm born children (5% vs. 0%). Periventricular white matter lesions were seen significantly more in preterm than in term born children (77.8% vs. 3.9%). Cortical or deep grey matter lesions occurred significantly more in term than in preterm born children (60% vs. 20%). Based on the study it can be concluded that Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can help in the assessment of time of insult to the developing brain in cerebral palsy (CP).

Abstract
Enterocutaneous fistulae are a major catastrophe to the patients and surgeons and it still has high incidence of morbidity and mortality and their management remains a big challenge. Enterocutaneous fistula presents the surgeon with challenges of metabolic disorders and extensive sepsis. Total management of an intestinal fistula requires skill in nutritional support, stoma therapy, elimination of sepsis, well timed and well carried out surgery. Postoperative enterocutaneous fistulae account for approximately 80% of enterocutaneous fistulae. The majority of the intestinal fistula (75-85%) is iatrogenic occurring in the postoperative period following anastomotic dehiscence. They arise following emergency abdominal surgery for intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease or cancers. Protein calorie malnutrition alters the patients immune response, inflammatory reactions and tissue regenerations, all of which are essential for wound repair. The present study is an effort to highlight the incidence of enterocutaneous fistula after emergency and elective resection and anastomosis of gut with discussion over recent trends and developments in its management and compare with other studies. Objectives of the study are to determine the various clinicopathological features and management protocol of enterocutaneous fistula. There are recent advances in nutritional support. This descriptive type of cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Surgery, Mymensingh Medical College and Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from October 2010 to September 2011. Total 42 cases of enterocutaneous fistulae were selected purposively. Enterocutaneous fistulae are more common in patients of low economic condition. Enterocutaneous fistulae are more common after emergency abdominal surgery. Spontaneous closure occurred in 17(40.48%) cases and surgery needed in 25(59.52%) cases. Of them 20(80.00%) were healed and 5(20.00%) were expired. In spite of improvement in the management protocol of enterocutaneous fistula, there is still high unacceptable morbidity and mortality rate. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is not available and very costly, and health care facilities are also limited in our country. Patients with enterocutaneous fistula require fluid, electrolytes and nutritional support. Anaemia, dehydration, electrolytes imbalance should be corrected prior to abdominal surgery if possible. Surgical treatment for enterocutaneous fistula should be performed only after failure of conservative treatment of more than 12 weeks.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilm plays a pivotal role in bioremediation of heavy metals from wastewaters. In this study, we isolated and identified different biofilm producing bacteria from wastewaters. We also characterized the biofilm matrix [i.e., extracellular polymeric substances (EPS)] produced by different bacteria. Out of 40 isolates from different wastewaters, only 11 (27.5%) isolates (static condition at 28°C) and 9 (22.5%) isolates (agitate and static conditions at 28 and 37°C) produced air–liquid (AL) and solid–air–liquid (SAL) biofilms, respectively, only on salt-optimized broth plus 2% glycerol (SOBG) but not in other media tested. Biomass biofilms and bacteria coupled with AL biofilms were significantly (P ≤ 0.001) varied in these isolates. Escherichia coli (isolate ENSD101 and ENST501), Enterobacter asburiae (ENSD102), Enterobacter ludwigii (ENSH201), Pseudomonas fluorescens (ENSH202 and ENSG304), uncultured Vitreoscilla sp. (ENSG301 and ENSG305), Acinetobacter lwoffii (ENSG302), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ENSG303), and Bacillus thuringiensis (ENSW401) were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that biofilm matrix produced by E. asburiae ENSD102, uncultured Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301, A. lwoffii ENSG302, and K. pneumoniae ENSG303 are highly fibrous, compact, and nicely interlinked as compared to the biofilm developed by E. ludwigii ENSH201 and B. thuringiensis ENSW401. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that biofilm matrix produced by E. asburiae ENSD102, uncultured Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301, and A. lwoffii ENSG302 are non-crystalline amorphous nature. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that proteins and polysaccharides are the main components of the biofilms. Congo red binding results suggested that all these bacteria produced proteinaceous curli fimbriae and cellulose-rich polysaccharide. Production of cellulose was also confirmed by Calcofluor binding- and spectrophotometric assays. E. asburiae ENSD102, Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301, and A. lwoffii ENSG302 were tested for their abilities to form the biofilms exposure to 0 to 2000 mg/L of copper sulfate (for Cu), zinc sulfate (for Zn), lead nitrate (for Pb), nickel chloride (for Ni), and potassium dichromate (for Cr), several concentrations of these metals activated the biofilm formation. The polysaccharides is known to sequester the heavy metals thus, these bacteria might be applied to remove the heavy metals from wastewater.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as the most common chronic liver condition in the Western world and it is commonly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study to determine the prevalence of NAFLD and identify the predisposing factors in type 2 DM patients with NAFLD. Total of 258 patients of type 2 DM were included in this observational study in the Department of Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from 11th May 2013 to 11th November 2013. Patients with characteristic findings on ultrasonography were considered as having fatty liver. They were divided into fatty liver (Group I) and non-fatty liver group (Group II) and were further evaluated by measurement of body mass index, liver function tests and lipid profile. Out of 258 type 2 diabetic patients, 167 (64.7%) patients had fatty liver on ultrasonography. BMI, waist-hip ratio and triglyceride levels in the Group I was significantly higher than Group II. An increase in the levels of ALT, AST, total cholesterol, LDL and a decrease in HDL was observed in Group I as compared to Group II. The prevalence of NAFLD is common among in type 2 diabetic patients and it increases with the rising incidence of obesity. Obesity as well as elevated liver enzymes, triglyceride and cholesterol are significantly raised in NAFLD patients with type 2 DM. It highlights the importance of routine liver function test and lipid profile in subjects with type 2 DM and should be more closely observed for NAFLD and liver complications.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in developed as well as developing countries like Bangladesh. There is a crucial need to identify additional risk factors that are easily measurable and treatable in general population. Role of serum lipids, lipoproteins and lipoprotein related variables in the prediction of stroke is less clear. Abnormalities in plasma lipoproteins are the most firmly established and best understood risk factors for atherosclerosis and they are probable risk factors for ischaemic stroke, largely by their link to atherosclerosis. High serum apolipoprotein-B (Apo-B) levels may predict an increased risk for ischaemic stroke. Aim of the study was to evaluate the association between serum Apo-B level and acute ischaemic stroke and to measure and compare serum Apo-B level in ischaemic stroke and normal subjects. A cross-sectional comparative study was carried out in the department of Neurology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from July 2013 to June 2015. A total number of 100 subjects within 18-70 years were considered for the study. Fifty (50) subjects with stroke (both clinically as well as CT scan of head or MRI of brain proven) were taken as the cases and 50 age and sex matched nearly healthy individuals without stroke were taken as the controls by using non-probability sampling procedure. Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides were estimated by enzymatic method using Semiautoanalyser. LDL cholesterol was estimated by Friedewald formula. Apo-B was estimated by immunoturbidimetric method using Semiautoanalyser. Finally collected data were analyzed by using SPSS software Version 20. Student 't' test was used to compare the data between cases and controls. P value was set <0.05. Diagnostic validity tests were conducted to assess the diagnostic efficiency of Apo-B. Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides are significantly increased in cases compared to controls. HDL-cholesterol was significantly decreased in cases compared to controls. Apo-B was significantly increased in cases compared to controls. The result was statistically significant. Apo-B may be used as predictors of ischaemic stroke components.

Abstract
Traumatic thoracolumbar spine injury result in significant instability of the spine and leads to an acute on delayed neurological deficit. Objective of the study is to find a better option in the management of unstable traumatic thoracolumbar spine with incomplete neurological lesion. This was quasi-experimental study. The study was carried out at National Institute of Traumatology & Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2006 to December 2008. A total number of 40 patients with traumatic thoracolumbar spine injuries with incomplete neurological lesion were 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. Neurological status improvement was assessed by Frankel grading; it was remarkable in operative group. In 56% of the conservative group improved by one grade but 21.42% of operative group had of similar improvement. This one-grade improvement has been classified as fair. Whereas two grade improvement was termed as good. So, good result was obtained in 40% of conservatively treated patients and 57.16% in operatively treated patients. In this study, an overall result was classified as excellent, good, fair andll poor. Three grade upper shifts were categorized as excellent. In excellent result was obtained by operative procedures and it was 21.42%. On the other ward, no patient showed excellent result in conservatively treated group. In Celbeti et al. reported that 16(33.3%) patients had excellent results, 23(57.9%) had good, 70(4.58%) had fair and 20(4.36%) Patients had poor results.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an international health problem affecting 5-10% of the world population. Patients with chronic kidney disease were known to have higher prevalence of changes in serum calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone in Western countries, but data on the impact of CKD on serum calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone in our country are scarce. This cross-sectional type of descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from March 2016 to September 2016. The aim of this study is to estimate serum calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone levels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients for early recognition of abnormalities, understanding of their patho-physiological consequences & planning management strategies to prevent their progression, thus reducing the morbidity & mortality. This study shows Hypocalcemia, hyperphosphataemia and elevated serum PTH levels are noted in later CKD stages & worsen with disease progression.

Abstract
Ultrasonography is a very useful diagnostic tool to evaluate pediatric abdominal mass. This cross sectional study was conducted among clinically suspected patients having malignant abdominal mass attending in the department of Radiology & Imaging, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2008 to December 2009. Total 56 patients were included in this study. Patients were scanned by high resolution gray scale ultrasonography of the abdominal masses. After surgical procedure, biopsy specimen were collected in a container containing 10% formalin and sent for histopathological examination. Mean age of the patients group was 5.91 years with a standard deviation of ±3.21 years. All patients were within 2 to 13 years age. Out of all patients, male were 33(58.9%) and 23(41.1%) were female. Male and female ratio was 1.4:1. Ultrasonographic diagnosis as Wilm's tumour were 27(48.2%), hepatoblastoma 8(14.3%), lymphoma 7(12.5%), neuroblastoma 6(10.7%), suspected malignancy 6(10.7%) and lastly teratoma were 2(3.6%). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of ultrasonography in the evaluation of Wilm's tumour were 100.0%, 90.6%, 88.9%, 100.0% and 94.6% for neuroblastoma 83.3%, 98.0%, 83.3%, 98.0% and 96.4% for lymphoma 83.3%, 96.0%, 71.4%, 98.0% and 94.6% and for hepatoblastoma 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0% and 100.0% respectively. It is a noninvasive and cost effective modality. Carefully performed ultrasonographic study would give reliable and accurate information needed in the diagnosis of abdominal malignancy in children.

Abstract
We report a precise measurement of the J/ψ elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The J/ψ mesons are reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|<0.9) in the dielectron decay channel and at forward rapidity (2.5<y<4.0) in the dimuon channel, both down to zero transverse momentum. At forward rapidity, the elliptic flow v_{2} of the J/ψ is studied as a function of the transverse momentum and centrality. A positive v_{2} is observed in the transverse momentum range 2<p_{T}<8 GeV/c in the three centrality classes studied and confirms with higher statistics our earlier results at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV in semicentral collisions. At midrapidity, the J/ψ v_{2} is investigated as a function of the transverse momentum in semicentral collisions and found to be in agreement with the measurements at forward rapidity. These results are compared to transport model calculations. The comparison supports the idea that at low p_{T} the elliptic flow of the J/ψ originates from the thermalization of charm quarks in the deconfined medium but suggests that additional mechanisms might be missing in the models.

Abstract
Histopathology is promising field for research in aquatic toxicology as it provides the real picture of the toxic effects of xenobiotics in vital functions of a living organism. The present study aims to evaluate the toxic effect of pesticide namely profenofos on silver barb. Liver and kidney of silver barb were examined histologically after exposure to sublethal concentrations (0.01 ppm, 10% of LC50 and 0.05 ppm, 50% of LC50) of profenofos for 0, 7, 15 and 30 days. Histological recovery was also studied by maintaining the pesticide‐exposed fish in a freshwater system for an additional 7, 15 and 30 day. Kidney and liver of exposed individuals exhibited some remarkable changes in their histology in comparison to control and recovery group. Hepatic lesions in the liver tissues of fish were characterized by cloudy swelling of hepatocytes, lipoid vacuoles, pycnotic nuclei and focal necrosis. Epithelial hypertrophy, narrowing of the tubular lumen, atrophy of the glomerulus, broader Bowman's capsule, necrosis in the epithelial cells and pycnosis in the hematopoietic tissue were observed in kidney tissues of experimental fish. These lesions grew with increasing concentration. Although some of the changes were reversible, the rest were less pronounced after a recovery period.Progressive Agriculture 28 (3): 240-248, 2017

Abstract
Myocardial Infarction is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. The incidence of coronary heart disease is high and second most cause of death after cancer. This prospective study conducted on 100 patients admitted with first attack of acute myocardial infarction in the department of Cardiology in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from July 2012 to June 2013 who were observed 3 to 8 days of hospital stay without doing further echocardiography and evaluated the relationship between echocardiographic wall motion score index (WMSI) assessed within 24 hours of admission and in-hospital outcomes. Mean age was 53.24±10.17 years in WMSI <2 and 55.58±12.68 years in WMSI ≥2 groups; difference was statistically non-significant (p>0.05). In both groups, males were predominant sufferer. Male-female ratio was 3.55:1 and the difference was statistically non-significant (p>0.05). As a risk factor, smoking was significantly higher in both groups but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05) between groups. Hypertension was 34(49.28%) cases in WMSI <2 and 13(41.93%) cases in WMSI ≥2 group; difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Diabetes mellitus was 13(18.84%) cases in WMSI <2 and 16(51.61%) cases in WMSI ≥2 group that was statistically significant (p<0.05). Dyslipidemia was 28(40.58%) cases in WMSI <2 group and 23(74.19%) cases in WMSI ≥2 group that was statistically significant (p<0.05). Site of involvement of MI in WMSI <2 group were 39(56.52%) cases AMI (Anterior) and 30(43.48%) cases AMI (Inferior). In WMSI ≥2 group, AMI (Anterior) were 29(93.55%) and AMI (Inferior) were 02(6.45%). It revealed that AMI (anterior) was significantly higher in WMSI ≥2 group and AMI (Inferior) was significantly higher in WMSI <2 group. Heart failure class (Killip class) increases with the increasing of WMSI. In Killip class-I, 4(5.80%) were WMSI <2 and 01(3.23%) was WMSI ≥2 (p>0.05). In Killip class-II, 8(11.59%) were WMSI <2 and 02(6.45%) were WMSI ≥2 (p>0.05). In Killip class-III, 4(5.80%) were WMSI <2 and 13(41.94%) were WMSI ≥2 (p<0.05). In Killip class-IV, 2(2.89%) were WMSI <2 and 05(16.13%) were WMSI ≥2 (p<0.05) that was statistically significant. Arrhythmia was 14(20.29%) cases in WMSI <2 group and 13(41.94%) cases in WMSI ≥2 group that was statistically significant (p<0.05). Death was 2(2.90%) cases in WMSI <2 and 07(22.58%) cases in WMSI ≥2 group that was statistically significant (p<0.05). Early mortality rate was greater in patients with both WMSI ≥2 and a higher Killip's class. The higher the WMSI determined within 24 hours of admission, the worse the in-hospital outcome. Echocardiography is an affordable and readily available technique, which may be used to identify and stratify the risk following acute MI.
