Prevalence of Eclampsia and its Fetomaternal Consequences in Bangladeshi Women: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Eclampsia is a treatable and preventable cause of maternal illness and mortality, as well as a poor fetomaternal outcome, in developing countries. Despite advances in human resource health education and institutional obstetric care, delays in early detection of the problem and availability to appropriate professional care are important hurdles to lowering complications. Objective: This study aims to determine the incidence of the fetomaternal outcome of eclampsia among Bangladeshi women. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 240 patients in the Gynaecology Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh, from January 2014 to December 2015. Details and data obtained from Medical Records Section were analyzed. All patients with eclampsia were included, and fetomaternal outcomes were measured in terms of complications.
Uterine Leiomyosarcoma in a Young Unmarried Lady-A Case Report
Leiomyosarcoma of the uterus is a very rare malignancy. It arises from the smooth muscles of the uterus. Very few cases on uterine leiomyosarcoma have been published so far. We report a case of a 23-year-old unmarried female who was having severe menorrhagia and was diagnosed later as a case of uterine leiomyosarcoma. The final diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma was made by histopathology. The only curative treatment of leiomyosarcoma of the uterus is surgery. The prognosis completely depends on the extension and histological characteristics like mitotic index, during the time of diagnosis.
Association of Thyroid Autoimmunity and Thyroid Dysfunction in Women with Infertility
Background: In women of reproductive age, thyroid illness is the second most frequent endocrine disorder. While overt thyroid disease is well known as a cause of infertility, the effects of mild thyroid dysfunction or thyroid autoimmunity are still unknown. Thyroid function may play a role in female reproduction, which is especially important when the cause of infertility is unknown. Objective: The study aims to determine the association of thyroid autoimmunity (antithyroglobulin and antithyroid peroxidase) and thyroid dysfunction (hypo-or hyperthyroidism) among women with infertility. Method: This retrospective case-control study was conducted from January 2020 to July 2021 at the Gynaecology Department of Patuakhali Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. This study was purposefully selected for 220 cases, and cases were chosen by unique inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Obesity and its Relation to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Incidence
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CAD) has become a global health issue. If you have acute coronary syndrome, you run the risk of dying or being disabled while still in your prime. Objective: The primary goal of this study is to assess the obesity effect and its relation to coronary artery disease (CAD). Method: These data were collected in a cross-sectional research done at a private hospital in the period of January 2019 to January 2020, and all data was recorded systematically in a preformed data sheet and analysed using applicable statistical techniques. Result: In the study male patients were 30% higher than female. Dyslipidaemia and obesity were very much common in 74%, 79% patients. Out of 150 patients 54% male and 46% female belongs to obese group. Conclusion: Individuals with obesity are more likely to develop heart disease in Bangladesh, based on the data we have. According to recent research, the incidence of obesity in cardiovascular illnesses may be higher than previously thought.

The Prevalence of CKD of Unknown Etiology
Chronic kidney disease (CKD)—or chronic renal failure (CRF), as it was historically termed—is a term that encompasses all degrees of decreased kidney function, from damaged– at risk through mild, moderate, and severe chronic kidney failure. Epidemics of CKD of uncertain etiology (CKDu) are emerging around the world. Highlighting common risk factors for CKD of uncertain etiology across various regions and populations may be important for health policy and public health responses. Prevalence of CKD of unknown (CKDu) etiology is being increasingly considered as an emerging etiology, especially in the developing countries, with environmental predisposition to hot humid climate, dehydration and toxic metal contaminations.
Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in Decreasing Blood Loss During and After Cesarean Section
Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an anti-fibrinolytic agent. Its use in primary TKR is supported by many studies that confirmed its efficacy for decreasing blood loss. Cesarean section rates are increasing all over the world. Per partum hemorrhage is one of the most common, life-threatening complications of this procedure. The aim of the study to find out the efficacy of tranexamic acid in decreasing blood loss during and after cesarean section. Methodology: The present study was performed at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the AL Haramine Hospital, Sylhet, from June 1, 2017, to November 30, 2017. Subjects were eligible for the trial if the fetus was more than 38 weeks estimated gestational age and they required elective CS. Elective CS was defined as CS performed before the onset of labor.
Evaluation of Autism Diagnostic Tools among Young Children: A Systematic Review
Autism is a physical and mental condition that cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges. There is often nothing about how people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) look that sets them apart from other people. Still, people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Early diagnostic of ASD is very essential because delay detection may cause an increase in severity level. Autism diagnostic tools can play a significant role in the early detection of ASD. There are several diagnostics tools for ASD detection. The main objective of this study was to evaluate autism diagnostic tools among the children and find out the diagnostic outcome of early detection of ASD by systematic review. Some authentic databases like PUBMED, Google Scholar, Scopus were searched using keywords of relevant topics, and a protocol was developed with defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
