Study of Von Neumann Abelian Regular Rings
Authors: Asadujjaman Md , Alam Sharmin , Ruman Umme , Islam Shamima 
Published: July 2021

This paper is concerned with the basic properties of a class of regular rings of some "classical" type. Abelian regular rings are, however, a more indirect concept, in that a nontrivial theorem is required to show that strongly regular rings are actually regular. For this reason, we view abelianness as the more natural property. We first collect a number of equivalent characterizations of abelian regular rings, before proving that "abelian regular" is equivalent to "strongly regular".

Authors: Ghosh Lipika , Afrooz Rowshan , Chowdhury Saleha Begum , Gani Osman , Khatun Rokhshana 
Published: July 2021

Background & objective: To see the relationship between preeclampsia and iron parameters (serum iron, serum ferritin and total iron binding capacity).
Methods: The present case-control study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka in collaboration with the Department of Biochemistry, BSMMU, Dhaka over a period of 1 year from July 2012 to June 2013 Pregnant women with preeclampsia admitted in the above-mentioned hospital were considered as case, while the pregnant women without preeclampsia were included as control. A total of 60 women-31 cases and 29 controls were purposively included in the study. The exposure variables were serum ferritin, serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC), while the outcome variable was preeclampsia. The serum iron level > 100 μg/L was considered as hyperferritenemia.
Result: Nearly two-thirds of the women were in their 2nd decades of life belonged to lower socioeconomic class. The body mass index was also fairly comparable between the groups with most women having normal BMI. No significant difference was observed between the groups with respect to obstetric variables as well. Level of haemoglobin and hematocrit were also identically distributed between groups. The result showed that a significantly higher proportion (35.5%) preeclamptic women had elevated serum ferritin (> 100 μg/L) as opposed to 10.3% of the control group (p = 0.021). The risk of developing raised serum ferritin in women with preeclampsia was estimated to be 4-fold (95% CI =1.2 – 19.4) higher than that in the normal pregnant women. Analyses also revealed that women with severe preeclampsia had a higher mean serum ferritin (207.3 ± 44.1 ng/ml) than the women with mild preeclampsia (41.7 ± 2.7) and an even higher level compared with the normal pregnant women (21.7 ± 1.4 μg/ml) (p = 0.001). Similar result was observed in serum iron with greater the severity, higher is the level of serum iron (p = 0.067). Conversely, the serum total iron binding capacity (TIBC) was decreased with severity of preeclampsia (p = 0.058).
Conclusion: The study concluded that women with preeclamsia might be associated with higher serum ferritin, higher serum iron and lower serum TIBC although it is not known whether the rise in serum ferritin and serum iron precedes or contributes to the clinical manifestations of preeclampsia.

Published: July 2021

Background & objective: Cardiac remodeling manifested clinically as changes in size, shape and function of the heart. The extent of remodeling depends on initial morphological changes. So the time at which the surgical correction of atrial septal defect (ASD) done is important. Apparently surgical outcome and remodeling is better at earlier age in comparison to adult age. The aim of this study was to find whether surgical correction of ASD is beneficial at younger age (up to 18 years) in comparison to adult age (above 18 years).
Methods: This prospective cohort study was carried out on a total of 70 patients who underwent surgical closure of atrial septal defect over a period of twenty three months (23) months (from February 2013 to December 2014) in the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka. The recruited patients were divided into two groups – Group-A (comprised of ≤ 18 years old patients) and Group-B (comprised of >18 years old patients) 35 patients in each. Condition of the heart was evaluated preoperatively by echocardiography and the result was compared with postoperative echocardiographic findings at follow-ups after 1 and 3 months after surgery.
Results: The comparison of echocardiographic parameters between baseline (preoperative) and those at 1 and 3 months after surgery in Group-A demonstrated that statistically significant remodeling occurred after 1st month (p < 0.001) and it further improved at 3 months. In Group-B the comparison of echo parameters between baseline and at 1 month revealed that all the parameters responded significantly indicating that remodeling occurred well after 1 month. But the same parameters when compared between baseline and at months after repair revealed insignificant differences in all the parameters, except PWT indicating that remodeling that occurred at month 1 regressed at 3 months interval. Cardiac remodeling occurred in both groups, but the degree of remodeling between patients of early age (Group-A) and late age (Group-B) revealed that ASD repair at early age responded well with respect to all the echocardiographic variables of remodeling.
Conclusion: Cardiac remodeling occurs after surgical closure of atrial septal defect. But the degree of remodeling is better if the closure is done at earlier age (at or below 18 years).

Authors: Amin Md Nurul , Islam Md Sultan Ul , Haque Md Jawadul 
Published: July 2021

The growth of communication technology in the last two decades has given the world a new look.With the blessings of digital technology, we can now communicate to any parts of the world with just a touch over the screen of our smart phone. Mobile phone hasnow become an indispensable part of our life.But, biological effects of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) transmitted by mobile phones are still a matter of public and scientific debate. Countries accross the world are now getting concerned about the impact of mobiles on human health and environment.Radiofrequency waves generated from mobile phones cause potential public health problems. Short-term effects like changes in sleep, heart rate, and blood pressure, and long-term effects like carcinoma (particularly glioma) are well-documented. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published cancer risks from Radiofrequency(RF) radiation. Human epidemiological studies gave evidence of increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma. Further epidemiological, animal and mechanistic studies have strengthened the association. Besides, the carcinogenic effect of non-ionizing radiation emitted from cordless digital devices, numerous health effects have already been claimed to occur. Faced with this context, scientific community and legislative bodies are raising voice for the reduction of RF-EMF exposure to the safe limit for human health and environment. The RF exposure restriction guideline used by many agencies was established in 1998 by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and was based only on established short-term thermal (heating) effects from RF radiation neglecting non-thermal biological effects. The present study is, therefore, intended to review the literatures relating mobile phone and Wi-fito human health in order to make the scientific community updated on the association between mobile phone use and human health.

Authors: Karim Rezaul , Siraj Masoom , Amin Md Nurul , Rashid Mohammad Abdur , Gomes Hemanta I , Amin Naziat Shahrin , Cader F Aaysha , Uddin Md Jamal 
Published: July 2021

Background & objective : Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has given symptomatic and structural release of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. CABG has been performed frequently for more than 30 years in Bangladesh. But there are no nationwide studies on the rate of survival in Bangladesh. The present study was undertaken to find the post CABG surgery survival outcomes and association between risk factors and survival over long time span.
Methods: We studied 650 consecutive patients’ post-operative clinical data retrospectively and survival outcome data were collected prospectively who had CABG surgery from 2010 to 2015 in Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute. Of the 650 patients, 84(12.9%) died after a median follow up of 4.9 years. Demographic, clinical, operative and postoperative characteristics were then compared between survived and died patients to find the factors associated with survival.
Result: Analysis revealed that younger patients were more likely to survive [RR = 1.1(95% CI = 1.0-1.2)] longer than those who have had their CABG at or > 55 years (p = 0.001). Males generally had a higher likelihood of survival [RR = 1.1(RR = 1.1(95% CI = 0.9-1.2)] than their female counterparts (p = 0.038). Non-diabetics tend to have a better survival [RR = 2.3(95% CI = 1.3-3.9)] than diabetics (p = 0.001). Non-smokers also have a higher chance of longer survival [RR = 1.5(95% CI = 0.9-2.2)] than the smokers. CABG patients without CKD enjoyed longer survival [RR = 1.4(95% CI = 0.9-2.2)] than CABG patients with CKD (p = 0.006). None of the operative and postoperative factors but hospital stay was associated with longer survival. The survived patients had a shorter mean hospital stay than the patients who died (p = 0.001). Analyses of the causes of death revealed heart disease to be the predominant cause (38%) followed by stroke (12%), CKD (8%) and other causes like cancer, liver disease etc. (42%).
Conclusion: Younger, male, non-smoker, non-diabetic patients may enjoy long-term survival following CABG surgery. Prediction of long-term survival can be used to determine the most appropriate post-discharge care strategies. This would undoubtedly help both patients and doctors to implement behavioral and therapeutic modifications to optimize benefit from surgery.

Authors: Siraj Nawshin , Ghafoor Nusrat , Selim Md Rokonujjaman , Islam SM Shaheedul , Deepa Khalada Parvin , Ashraf Mir Mahin 
Published: July 2021

Background & objective: The present study was intended to demonstrate the role of Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) in defining the extracardiac vascular abnormalities including the pulmonary arterial tree, Major Aortopulmonary Collateral Arteries (MAPCAs), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and detection of the common and uncommon findings in Fallot’s Tetralogy cases for proper pre-surgical evaluation.
Methods: A retrospective review of all multidetector CT images acquired to evaluate suspected cases of Tetralogy of Fallot, presented at Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute between July 2017 and July 2018, was done. This comprised of a total of 35 cases who were examined by 64-slice MDCT. The patients were divided into four main groups: those with classic Tetralogy of Fallot with no associations, those with common associations, those with uncommon associations and those with a combination of common and uncommon associations.
Results: In the present study, majority of the patients had levocardia (93.6%), situs solitus (96.9%) with none of the patients having either atrio-ventricular or arterio-ventricular discordance. Major findings of the patients were VSD (93.8%), right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (65%) with ventricular hypertrophy (75%). All patients had overriding of aorta with over 60% of the patients having 50% and 28% > 50% overriding. Approximately 3.1% of the patients had MPA atresia. MPA stenosis was detected in 93.3% of the cases.
Conclusion: A customized approach to MDCT imaging improves the diagnostic accuracy and reduces unnecessary prolongation of the study and sedation times. A careful preoperative perception of the complex cardiovascular anatomy in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot aids in exposing the patients to a directed and prepared surgical approach.

Perception About the Use of Over-the-Counter Antibiotics Among Patients Attending Outpatient Department of a Tertiary Care Hospital of Bangladesh
Authors: Ahmed Md Ashraf Uddin , Morshed ASM , Yasmin Farzana , Chakraborty Dwijraz 
Published: July 2021

Background & objective: Antibiotics are considered among the most commonly sold drug classes in the developing countries. The irrational and overuse of antibiotics result not only in the emergence of resistant bacterial strains but also adverse reactions and economic burden on national health system. This study was carried out with the focus to assess the awareness, attitude and practice of patients visiting Outpatient Department (OPD) of Bangladesh Institute of Research & Development in Endocrine & Metabolism (BIRDEM) General Hospital. towards antibiotic usage and development of its resistance
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in the OPD of BIRDEM General Hospital from June 2017 to July 2017. Patients presented at OPD were selected by convenient sampling. The total number of respondents was 100. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information from the respondents. Data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: Of all the participants who took part in the study, 46% had no knowledge and 36% were unaware of ill-effects of antibiotic resistance. Over half (54%) of the patients showed confusion between antibiotic and antiviral drugs. Investigating patients’ practice about antibiotics revealed that 50% patients used to take incomplete antibiotic course and 30% patients shared their antibiotics with other sick family members. During emergencies, 16% patients used the previously left-over antibiotics without seeing the expiry date. Nearly half (46%) of the patients had a practice of taking previously prescribed antibiotic again for the similar nature of illness without consulting a doctor, 6% patients sought antibiotics prescription whenever they consult a doctor.
Conclusion: Although the results of this study cannot be generalized to all adult Bangladeshi, indiscriminate use of antibiotic and unawareness of antibiotic resistance and poor attitude towards the antibiotic usage can be a concern for antibiotic resistance in Bangladesh. It highlights the need of educational interventions to increase awareness of people about the consequences of antibiotic misuse and also to develop healthy attitude to practice antibiotic usage.

Authors: Gomes Hemanta I , Kabir CM Shaheen , Khan Saidur Rahman , Azam MG , Rahman Syed Mosfiqur 
Published: July 2021

Background & Objective: To compare the safety and feasibility of using radial versus femoral access during coronary artery intervention of patients who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Methods: The study was conducted in Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute (ICHRI), Dhaka from January 2013 to December 2015. During the period a total of 380 patients with past CABG surgery underwent diagnostic coronary angiogram (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our institution. We retrospectively evaluated 98 consecutive patients who underwent graft intervention via the transradial (TRA, n=54) or transfemoral approach (TFA, n=44) route. Baseline clinical characteristics, angiographic characteristics and complications between the two study groups were observed.
Result: The baseline clinical characteristics between the two study groups were similar. No significant difference was observed in terms of angiographic characteristics between the two groups. Contrast volume in between the groups was pretty similar (p = 0.267). Procedure time (40±20 min vs. 41±7 min, p=0.36) and fluoroscopy time (11.1±6.5 min vs. 12.5±8.7 min, p=0.19) were almost similar in both access for graft intervention. All PCI attempts were successful in both groups. Stent deployment was significantly more common in the TR access group. No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of target vessel intervention. There was no major adverse cardiac event during hospitalization. However, the vascular access site complications were significantly lower (p=0.003) in the TRA group.
Conclusion: The TRA for coronary artery bypass graft intervention is safe and feasible.

Health Vulnerabilities and Resilience to Climate Change: An Update of International Progress
Authors: Mohd Arifuzzaman - , Rahman M Mizanur , Islam Md Sultan Ul , Uddin Md Nezam 
Published: July 2021

Despite being one of the most important societal challenges of the 21st century, public engagement with climate change currently remains low worldwide. Mounting evidence from across the behavioral sciences has found that most people regard climate change as a non-urgent and psychologically distant risk—spatially, temporally, and socially-which has led to deferred public decision making about mitigation and adaptation responses. Climate change is increasing risks to human health and to the health systems that seek to protect the safety and well-being of populations. Health authorities require information about current associations between health outcomes and weather or climate, vulnerable populations, projections of future risks and adaptation opportunities in order to reduce exposures, empower individuals to take needed protective actions and build climate-resilient health systems. Health authorities from local to national levels badly seek this information by conducting climate change and health vulnerability and adaptation assessments. While assessments can provide valuable information to plan for climate change impacts, they are often not integrated into adaptation decision making, probably because the health sector is not involved in climate change policy-making processes at the national level. Significant barriers related to data accessibility, a limited number of climate and health models, uncertainty in climate projections, and a lack of funding and expertise, particularly in developing countries, challenge health authority efforts to conduct rigorous assessments and apply the findings. This paper reviews the evolution of climate change and health vulnerability and adaptation assessments, including guidance developed from such projects, and implementation of the findings to support health adaptation action. The findings derived from the study will support collaborative efforts to protect health from current and future climate change hazards. Health authorities may benefit from additional resources to ensure that evidence about climate change impacts on health could effectively be translated into needed actions to build health resilience.
