Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is a common lethal genetic disease caused by functional absence of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Although a candidate disease for in utero gene therapy, demonstration of potentially therapeutic levels of transgene expression in the fetal airways after minimally invasive gene delivery is a mandatory prerequisite before application of this approach in humans can be considered. We report here on the delivery of a beta-galactosidase expressing adenovirus directly to the airways of fetal sheep in utero using ultrasound-guided percutaneous injection of the trachea in the fetal chest. Injection of adenoviral particles to the fetal airways was not associated with mortality and resulted in low-level expression in the peripheral airways. However, complexation of the virus with DEAE dextran, which confers a positive charge to the virus, and pretreatment of the airways with Na-caprate, which opens tight junctions, increased transgene expression, and a combination of these two enhancers resulted in widespread and efficient gene transfer of the fetal trachea and bronchial tree. Using a percutaneous ultrasound-guided injection technique, we have clearly demonstrated proof of principle for substantial transgene delivery to the fetal airways providing levels of gene expression that could be relevant for a therapeutic application of CFTR expressing vectors.

Abstract
Perineal hernia with bowel gangrene is uncommon but known complication of laparoscopic extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE). We present a rare case of closed loop small bowel obstruction with bowel gangrene secondary to an incarcerated perineal hernia that developed 7 years after an ELAPE. Intraoperatively, we found a definitive transition point due to adhesions in pelvis and a closed loop obstruction of the distal small bowel at different site with gangrenous intestine. She was managed successfully surgically with adhesiolysis and fixation of defect with biological mesh. Prevalence of perineal hernias will rise in future because of the increasing cases of ELAPE, in which no repair of pelvic floor is performed. The need of follow-up of these operations and more reporting of such cases are important in increasing awareness of these complications. Patients should be made aware of such complications and should seek urgent medical care.

Abstract
Five hundred ten duck eggs of Pekin and each of Muscovy duck eggs were incubated to determine fertility and hatchability. The eggs were cleaned and stored at 18-21oC for 6 days prior to setting in the incubator. The eggs were incubated in a forced-draft electric incubator and the hatching performances were recorded. Ninety Pekin and ninety Muscovy day-old ducklings were randomly selected from the hatched ducklings for a growth trial. Each breed was divided into three replications and each replication had 30 ducklings. They were reared up to 10 weeks of age. Fertility of Muscovy duck eggs tended to be higher (P>0.05) than that of Pekin duck eggs. Hatchability of Pekin egg on fertile egg was higher (P<0.05) than that of Muscovy eggs. But, dead in shell of Muscovy duckling was higher (P<0.05) than that of Pekin duckling. Feed consumption was higher (P<0.01) in Muscovy ducklings than that of Pekin ducklings. Feed conversion was slightly higher (P>0.05) in Muscovy ducklings than that of Pekin. At 10 weeks of age, Muscovy ducklings were slightly heavier (P>0.05) than that of Pekin. It was concluded that the fertility of Pekin and Muscovy ducks are more or less similar while hatchability is higher in Pekin ducks. Muscovy ducks are superior in respect of feed conversion and growth rate.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v20i1-2.16859 Progress. Agric. 20(1 & 2): 93 98, 2009

Abstract
Background Haemorrhoid is the most common anal canal disease. Treatments may vary from non-invasive to invasive depending on the symptoms. Haemorrhoidectomy has been widely used. However, it has some drawbacks like severe postoperative pain, longer time to return to daily activities and complications such as anal stenosis. To overcome these, various new treatment methods have been introduced. Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation operations (HALO) are becoming popular among surgeons. HALO has been reported to have a lower recurrence rate of less than 10% and higher patient satisfaction of approximately 90% with minimal postoperative pain. It achieves very good postoperative outcomes in the treatment of early haemorrhoids where per rectal bleeding and/or perianal discomfort are main symptoms. Nevertheless, it has a limitation in the treatment of prolapsing haemorrhoids. To tackle this, simultaneous recto-anal repair (RAR) has been recently introduced. HALO, in combination with RAR, has been reported to achieve good postoperative outcomes and excellent patient satisfaction. This is a two-stage open operation. The stages are: - Doppler-guided HALO and - RAR (recto-anal repair) Methods We are presenting a single-centre one-year experience of Doppler-guided haemorrhoidal artery ligation operation and recto-anal repair (DG-HALO and RAR) conducted on haemorrhoidal patients to evaluate the outcomes and effectiveness of the procedure. Retrospective data were collected for the patients who underwent HALO over one year period from June 2018 to August 2019. A total of 10 patients were treated with the HALO-RAR procedure. Results The male to female ratio was 7:3, median age was 47.98 (28.38 - 61.7) years, median body mass index (BMI) was 30.23 (23.8 - 39.1). Eight patients were American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Grade II, one patient was ASA I and one was ASA III. Time from initial consultation to the HALO procedure was 9.90 (3.5 - 19.8) months. All patients complained of preoperative bleeding and six of them complained of pain or discomfort. Nine patients underwent previous bandings in the clinic and one patient declined banding. The average time of the procedure was 57 mins. The average number of ligations was 10 (0-21). In one case, the proctoscope did not pair with the speaker. The average number of plications was three (2-4). Postoperatively, nine patients had no immediate complications; one patient had acute urinary retention. Seven patients were discharged on the same day. One patient had to stay overnight for monitoring prior to restarting apixaban, one patient for his learning difficulties and one patient had an unplanned overnight stay due to acute urinary retention requiring catheterization. Eight patients had their first follow-up; improvement of symptoms was found in 100% patients on the first follow-up. Conclusion HALO-RAR should be considered as a treatment option for recurrent symptoms after banding for haemorrhoids. The study showed good overall results with no immediate surgical complications. Excellent patient satisfaction was found even in long-term follow-up.

Abstract
NSTEMI patients, in comparison to STEMI patients, are more at risk of bleeding, access site complication and MACE after PCI during index hospitalization. Because they get, multiple adjuvant anti-thrombotic agents before PCI than do the STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Transradial access (TRA) is proven to decrease those adverse in-hospital outcomes compared to transfemoral access (TFA) in STEMI patients. But very few studies were conducted in this regard considering NSTEMI patients. We observed prospectively the adverse in-hospital outcomes of total 180 NSTEMI patients who had undergone PCI through TRA (Group I = 80) and TFA (Group II = 100) during index hospitalization between October 2017 to September 2018 in National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Samples were selected purposively. Patients were followed up 2 hours after PCI and thereafter every day until discharge. Demographic and risk factor variables were almost same in both groups. TRA, compared with TFA, yielded less major bleeding (0% versus 3%, p=0.12) which was statistically non-significant. Minor bleeding was significantly less in Group I (2.5% versus 13.0%, p=0.04). Overall bleeding was also significantly less in Group I (2.5% and 10.0%; p=0.002). Access site complication was non-significantly less in Group I (0% versus 1%, p=0.91). TRA caused non-significant reduction in MACE (2.5% versus 5%; p=0.38) but significant reduction of total adverse in-hospital outcome (5% versus 20%, p=0.006%). In this study TRA seems to have less adverse in-hospital outcome than TFA in NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI during index hospitalization.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Clozapine is a high-risk drug that is used widely in Secondary and Tertiary Centres.1 Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) advice and recommendation is readily available from distinguished authors.2,3 The rate of clozapine TDM, appropriate sample collection for TDM, appropriate actions following a clozapine level varies between services and prescribers within our organisation.
Aim
To establish how many current West London NHS Trust (WLT) patients had a clozapine TDM, how many plasma samples collected for TDM were done appropriately, the proportion of patients with an appropriately collected plasma sample result within the largely accepted therapeutic range, and whether there was documentation that the plasma level was reviewed and if any prescription changes were made.
Methods
Approval to undertake the service evaluation was given by the Trust clinical governance and audit committee as ethical review as not required. No patient identifiable details were shared or collected. All patients who had been registered on the Trusts clozapine patient monitoring service for over 8 weeks were enrolled. Anonymised patient demographic data was collected including concomitant medication. Plasma levels were sought for every patient enrolled. The appropriateness of the samples taken were scrutinised. The plasma level result was collected. Electronic patient notes were also scrutinised to assess actions following the plasma level result. Data were collected in a binary yes/no format and results calculated as a percentage. Data was stored and collected in accordance to Trust General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Results
In total 316 patients were included. 97% of these patients had evidence of TDM levels done during the time of the audit. 88% of these patients’ samples were done correctly. Only 45% of patients had levels within the widely acceptable therapeutic range. Of those patients whose levels fell outside the therapeutic range less than half (42%) had documentation that the level was reviewed.
Discussion/Conclusion
It is widely accepted that clozapine TDM when done accurately can be a vital source of information to inform prescribers on the appropriate dose, concordance and toxicity of clozapine therapy. Our Trust showed evidence of routine clozapine TDM. There was some variation in the appropriate sample collection but what was most alarming is the lack of documentation that action was taken when the TDM level was outside the general acceptable range. Standardising the actions following clozapine TDM needs to be a priority for the Trust if clozapine TDM is to continue to be carried out in almost 100% of the patient population.

Abstract
An experiment was carried out in the field laboratory at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh, during rabi season of 2009-2010. Planting material was maize var. BARI hybrid maize 7.Three levels of population density (66667, 83333 and 111111 plants ha-1) and four source-sink manipulation, viz. removed all leaf blades below the lower most cob, removed tassel and all leaf blades below the lower most cob, removed all leaf blades except those adjacent to cob and no clipping, were imposed at silking stage. During crop growth, removal of all leaf blades below the cob showed less adverse effect on grain yield and yield parameters and the leaves so removed can be used as green fodder. Removal of tassel and all leaf blades except those adjacent to cob showed adverse effect on grain yield and yield parameters. Complete defoliation severely reduced grains on cob. The highest gross return and benefit cost ratio (BCR) was obtained from the treatment having 1,11,111 plants ha-1 with no clipping while the lowest from the treatment with removal of all leaf blades excluding those adjacent to cob in 66667 plants ha-1. In case of dual purpose, 1,11,111 plants ha-1 with removal of tassel and all leaf blades below the lower most cob gave the highest gross return but 66667 plants ha-1 with removal of all leaf blades below the lower most cob gave the highest BCR (1.78)Bangladesh Agron.

Abstract
Synbiotics, which synergistically enhance the development and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, play a crucial role in the growth and production of chickens. However, their effects on lymphoid organs and immunity in Naked Neck (NN) chickens are not well understood. This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of synbiotics on growth performance, histo-architecture of lymphoid organs, hematology, serum biochemistry, and immunity in NN chickens in Bangladesh. In a randomized controlled trial, 120 day-old Naked Neck chicks (60 males, 60 females) were randomly assigned to four different treatments (T0M, T0F, T1M, T1F), with six replications per treatment over an 84-day experimental trial. The control group received a commercial diet, while the treatment group was given a commercial diet supplemented with a synbiotic (Protexin®: 1 ml/L + Prebiotic Inulin-FOS: 2 g/L). Blood samples were collected on days 14, 28, 42, and 56 for hematobiochemical parameters and humoral immune response assessment, while immune organs were collected on 84th day for histomorphometric analyses. The growth performance revealed synbiotic treated group showed significantly higher weight gain with lowest FCR on T1M. Similarly, synbiotic-treated chickens showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher weight and organosomatic indices of the bursa and thymus. Histomorphometric analysis revealed an increased aggregation of B and T lymphocytes, as well as a greater number of aggregated lymphoid nodules in the treated group. Synbiotic-treated chickens also exhibited increased RBC, WBC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and lymphocyte percentage, along with higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and significantly (P < 0.01) lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Immunologically, synbiotic-treated NN chickens showed significantly higher antibody titers against Newcastle disease on days 42 and 56. Synbiotic supplementation positively impacted lymphoid organ histomorphometry, hematobiochemical parameters, and immune responses in NN chickens.
