Abstract
Untreated vaginal bleeding during pregnancy can potentially give rise to various complications, with the incidence ranging from 12% to 40% of all cases. In Ayurveda, this condition is referred to as garbhashrava, which encompasses the manifestation of abortion, with raktadarshana (vaginal bleeding) serving as a key diagnostic symptom. In this present case study, 28 years old second gravida woman with amenorrhea of 3 months 08 days presented with vaginal bleeding (1 pad/day) for 15 days on and off. The case was diagnosed as first-trimester vaginal bleeding due to low-lying posterior placenta (placental cause). Pregnancy outcome depends on the severity of bleeding thus early diagnosis and proper management are the priority. Traditionally, the conventional approach involves the use of hemostatic agents and injectable hormonal support, which is an invasive method. In this present study, a local non-invasive method i.e application of gairika choorna 5 g with shatadhauta ghrita 15-20 g in the form of lepa (anointment) below the umbilicus was advised thrice a day for 1 week. This treatment resulted in complete relief from vaginal bleeding within a one-week period while maintaining the pregnancy.

Abstract
ObjectivePhenylephrine, pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are the sympathomimetic drugs that have been used most commonly in oral preparations for the relief of nasal congestion. These drugs stimulate the central nervous system that is affected by the alpha and beta adrenergic agonism. Sympathomimetic agents used in the treatment of flu and common cold with ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are case reports. That the manic and psychotic episodes are triggered. In this article, we would like to present a bipolar manic disorder with two manic episodes and both of them triggered by influenza drugs.CaseA 25-year-old man patient was admitted to psychiatric outpatient clinic with increasing complaints such as increasing energy, speaking much, decreasing sleep, increasing the libido after using the flu drug that prescribed to him containing phenylephrine. Also, 2 years ago, he has manic attack triggered after the flu drug.DiscussionIn recent years the study of epilepsy and bipolar disorder in common suggests that bipolar disorder may affect the kindling phenomenon. In our case, two of reasons in the neurobiology of developing manic attacks the kindling phenomenon is likely to be effective. First, the possibility of using cold medicine containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine in the first manic episode, in the second manic episode having spent the attack with FAQ stimulant effect of lower phenylephrine. Second, in the first episode after using the 5–6 tablets developing manic attacks. In the second attack to be triggered with just 2 doses may indicate the effect of kindling.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Hypertension is a major public health challenge to population in socio-economic and epidemiological transition. It is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality which accounts for 20-50 per cent of all deaths. Hypertension has been recognized among young adults more frequently in recent years. Data regarding hypertension in Bangladesh is often insufficient. The purpose of the study was to find out the risk factors of hypertension in young adults of Bangladesh. The study was conducted among 322 purposively selected young adults aged 20 to 49 years attending in the outpatient department of one public and five private hospitals of Mymensingh and Dhaka division of Bangladesh during the period of January 2018 to December 2018. More than half (54.4%) of the patients were at or below the age of 40 years. Mean age of the patients was 38.7±7.8 years and 58.7% were male. Maximum patients (87.6%) were married and with variable educational and occupational status. More than three fourth of the patients (76.7%) were from urban area whereas 14.3% from rural and 9.0% were from sub-urban area. Family history of hypertension was positive in 86.6% of patients. Blood pressure was categorized according to JNC 7. About half (49.4%) of the patients were stage I hypertensive; 22.4% were stage II hypertensive and 28.3% were pre-hypertensive. The major risk factor was tobacco smoking (46.0%), obesity (29.2%), dyslipidaemia (25.2%), high salt intake 21.8% and use of chewable tobacco (13.7%). Serum creatinine was found raised in 11.5%, cardiomegaly in 2.2% and concentric left ventricular hypertrophy in 18.6% of patients. In 38.5% patients hypertension was complicated affecting heart (27.0%) and kidney (11.5%). Common comorbidities were ischaemic heart diseases (20.5%) and diabetes mellitus (13.4%). Tobacco use, obesity, dyslipidaemia and high salt intake are the major modifiable risk factors found in hypertensive young adults. In addition to medication these factors should be addressed for prevention and effective control of hypertension.

Abstract
Epidemiologic transition is taking place in every part of the world. Cardiovascular diseases became the most common cause of death accounting for 30% of deaths worldwide, with 80% of the burden now occurring in developing countries. The objective of the study was to assess the Pattern of disease among patients attending Cardiology outpatient department of a private hospital. The cross sectional descriptive type of observational study was conducted among 550 patients attending Cardiology outpatient department (COPD) of Sodesh Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from March 2016 to June 2016. All the new patients attending COPD of Sodesh Hospital were selected purposively for the study. Data were collected by interview, physical examination and laboratory investigations of patients using a case record form. Mean age of the patients was 45.1 years with a SD of 15.6 years. Among the patients male were 291(52.9%), a bit higher than the female 259(47.1%). It was observed that more than half of the patients (281, 51.1%) visited cardiologist with non-cardiac problems. Less than one third of the patients (169, 30.7%) attended with cardiac problems and 100(18.2%) patients visited with both cardiac and non-cardiac problems. Among the cardiac diseases and symptoms hypertension was on the top of the list 176(65.4%). Ischemic heart diseases was present in 35(13.0%) and palpitation was in 30(11.1%) patients. On the other hand among the non-cardiac diseases or presentations, 121(43.1%) patients had non-specific chest pain, 63(22.4%) had shortness of breath and 17(6.1%) had diabetes mellitus. Hypertension was found the most frequent cardiovascular disease (65.4%) followed by ischemic heart disease (13.0%). More than half (51.1%) of the patients visit cardiologist with non-cardiac problems. Screening at the level of general practitioner (GP) and appropriate referral system can reduce extreme burden of patients to the cardiologists in the Cardiology outpatient department.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adolescent risk outcomes related to school issues are widespread, with about 20% parents reporting poor school engagement amongst their youth. Previous literature suggests that adolescents who report strong bonds with their parents are often identified as being less likely to engage in risky behaviours, such as substance use. The current study sought to examine the association between the frequencies of selected family activities and school problems amongst adolescents after adjustments for family connectedness and other characteristics. METHODS Data were drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997. Of the 8984 youth interviewed, 3855 also had a sibling interviewed who met the selection criteria. School problem outcomes measured were suspension occurrence, poor grades and highest grade completed low for age. Independent variables of interest were self-reported frequency of family dinner, fun and religious activities in a typical week. Multivariable logistic models were estimated for each outcome, and multivariable linear probability models were estimated adjusting for family fixed effects. RESULTS Adjusting for family connectedness, there were significant associations between certain family activities and adolescent school problem measures. However, these results did not remain significant in models with family fixed effects, suggesting that associations could be driven by family-level confounders. DISCUSSION This study did not find strong evidence of a protective relationship between family activities and school problems. Therefore, it suggested that programme and policymakers be cautious in overstating the importance of family activities in preventing adolescent risk outcomes until true causal relationships can be determined.

Abstract
We report a case of endoscopic capsule impaction causing acute small intestinal obstruction in a patient with Crohn's disease (CD), having obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. A 57-year old female presented with features of acute small bowel obstruction 2 days after capsule endoscopy elsewhere for the evaluation of intermittent bleeding per rectum and iron deficiency anemia. Patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy with right hemicolectomy for the diseased ileocecal region which mimicked malignancy. The capsule was found to be impacted in the strictured lumen of the terminal ileum. Post operative histopathological examination revealed it to be Crohn's disease.

Abstract
The study was conducted in the Department of cardiology, NICVD Dhaka during the period January 2006 to December 2007 to assess the impact of platelet on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). To perform this prospective study 200 patients with STEMI within 72 hours of chest pain of both sexes were randomly selected and were evaluated by clinical history, physical examination and with the help of ECG, Echocardiography and others cardiac risk factors analysis. Heparin therapy before admission, previously documented thrombocytopenia (<140,000/cmm), history of previous or current haemostatic disorder, renal impairment (Creatinine >1.6mg/dl) and history of PCI & CABG were excluded in this study. Patient of Platelet count (PC) ≤200000/cubic millimeter (cmm) in Group I and patient of Group II, platelet counts were PC >200000/cmm. Follow up period was 3 days to 7 days after hospital admission. Primary outcome heart failure (any Killip class) was significantly more in Group II than Group I (40.0% vs. 23.0%; p=0.009). Though the incidence of Killip class I and cardiogenic shock were not significant between these two groups but Killip class II (18.0% vs. 8.0%; p=0.036) and Killip class III (15.0% vs. 6.0%; p=0.037) heart failure were significantly more among the patient with higher platelet counts. In-hospital mortality, one of the primary outcomes of this study, was significantly higher in Group II (13.0%) than Group I (5.0 %) and p value was 0.048. Re-infarction was more in patient with higher platelet counts group (Group II) than patients with lower platelet count (Group I) but statistically was not significant (16.0% vs.11.0%; p=0.300).

Abstract
Zirconium-titanium-phosphate nanoparticles (ZTP) of different sizes were synthesized using tritron X-100 (polyethylene
glycol-p-isooctylphenyl ether) surfactant. The materials were characterized by FTIR and powdered X-ray diffraction (XRD). The
structural and morphological details of the material were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission
electron microscopy (TEM). The SEM study was followed by energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis (EDS) for elemental analysis
of the sample. The important peaks of the XRD spectra were analyzed to determine the probable composition of the material. The
particle sizes were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) method. Ion exchange capacity was measured for different metal
ions with sizes of the ZTP nanoparticles and size-dependent ion exchange property of the material was investigated
thoroughly. The nanomaterial of the smallest size of around 5 nm was employed to separate carrier-free
137mBa from 137Cs in column chromatographic technique using 1.0 M HNO3 as
eluting agent at pH = 5.

Abstract
PURPOSE Behcet disease (BD) is a multisystemic vaculitis commonly diagnosed in reproductive years. The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between BD and pregnancy outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicenter retrospective survey study, the authors compared the pregnancy outcomes of BD patients with the healthy controls. RESULTS A total of 298 pregnancies of 94 patients with BD and 219 pregnancies of 95 healthy controls were evaluated. The mean birth weight of all babies of women with BD and the control group were 3,214 grams and 3,351 grams, respectively (p = 0.028). The miscarriage rates were also higher in the BD group. The com- plication rates of pregnancy with hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm labour in the study group and the control group were 12.8% and 11.6%, respectively (p = 0.489). CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated that BD patients delivered smaller babies and they have higher miscarriage rates when compared to the healthy controls which might be due to the vasculitis of the placenta.

Abstract
Tamalaki is a herbacious medicinal plant, described in Ayurvedic texts in many occurrences with different properties, actions, uses and synonyms, supposed to indicate more than one species commonly used in practice. Modern scholars mostly suggest Phyllanthus fraternus Webster (syn. P. niruri Linn.), P. amarus Schum. and Thonn. and P. urinaria Linn. as the source plants of Tamalaki. In this study, an attempt has been made to designate P. fraternus as the source plant of Tamalaki used in the treatment of Tamaka-svasa (Bronchial asthma) and other respiratory disorders by analyzing therapeutic uses, actions, properties, taste, synonyms as well as pharmacognostical characters. Smooth capsule, six tepals, less and short fibrous root, pentagonal outline with wing-shaped young stem are some of the specific characters observed in this species.

Abstract
Thyroid disorders are frequent in elderly population and difficult to recognize because of their atypical presentation, and the absence of classic signs and symptoms. Nonspecific symptoms, even in the absence of thyroid dysfunction, are common in this age group, including fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, failure to rehabilitate, and difficult to concentrate. Symptoms of aging can be confused easily with hypothyroidism. The interpretation of thyroid function tests is also cumbersome in aged individuals because of the difficulty in differentiating physiologic age-associated changes from alterations secondary to acute or chronic non-thyroidal illness. In the present study, a total 100 subjects were included. Subjects were divided into two groups: Group I - Control (n=50) and Group II - Case (n=50). Fifty apparently healthy young adults were taken as control (Group I) and 50 apparently healthy elderly subjects were included in case (Group II). Group I was subdivided into two groups- Group IA: young male (n=25) and Group IB: young female (n=25). Group II was also subdivided into two groups - Group IIA: elderly male (n=25) and Group IIB: elderly female (n=25). All the subjects were selected from the local community of Mymensingh Sadar, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh and Community Based Medical College, Bangladesh, Mymensingh. In the present study, the difference of mean serum T3 concentration between Group I (control) and Group II (elderly subjects) was not found to be significant (p>0.05). Significant difference in serum TSH concentration between Group IA and Group IIA was to be found (p<0.001). The difference of mean serum T4 concentration between Group IB and Group IIB was not found significant (p>0.05). Significant difference in mean serum TSH concentration between Group IB and Group IIB was to be found (p<0.001).

Abstract
We use p-values to identify the threshold level at which a regression function leaves its baseline value, a problem motivated by applications in toxicological and pharmacological dose-response studies and environmental statistics. We study the problem in two sampling settings: one where multiple responses can be obtained at a number of different covariate levels, and the other the standard regression setting involving limited number of response values at each covariate. Our procedure involves testing the hypothesis that the regression function is at its baseline at each covariate value and then computing the potentially approximate p-value of the test. An estimate of the threshold is obtained by fitting a piecewise constant function with a single jump discontinuity, known as a stump, to these observed p-values, as they behave in markedly different ways on the two sides of the threshold. The estimate is shown to be consistent and its finite sample properties are studied through simulations. Our approach is computationally simple and extends to the estimation of the baseline value of the regression function, heteroscedastic errors and to time series. It is illustrated on some real data applications.

Abstract
Mechanical loading induces positive changes in the skeleton due to direct effects on bone cells, which may include regulation of transcription factors that support osteoblast differentiation and function. Flow effects on osteoblast transcription factors have generally been evaluated after short exposures. In this work, we assayed flow effects on osteogenic genes at early and late time points in a preosteoblast (CIMC-4) cell line and evaluated both steady and oscillatory flows. Four hours of steady unidirectional flow decreased the level of RANKL mRNA 53 ± 7% below that of nonflowed cells, but increases in Runx2 and osterix mRNA (44 ± 22% and 129 ± 12%, respectively) were significant only after 12-19 h of continuous flow. Late flow effects on RANKL and osterix were also induced by an intermittent flow-rest protocol (four cycles of 1 h on/1 h off + overnight rest). Four hours of oscillatory flow decreased RANKL mRNA at this early time point (63 ± 2%) but did not alter either osterix or Runx2. When oscillatory flow was delivered using the intermittent flow-rest protocol, Runx2 and osterix mRNA increased significantly (85 ± 19% and 161 ± 22%, respectively). Both β-catenin and ERK1/2, known to be involved in RANKL regulation, were rapidly activated by steady flow. Inhibition of flow-activated ERK1/2 prevented the increase in osterix mRNA but not Runx2; Runx2 phosphorylation was increased by flow, an effect which likely contributes to osterix induction. This work shows that both steady and oscillatory fluid flows can support enhancement of an osteogenic phenotype.

Abstract
Primary Cardiac tumors are uncommon during infancy and childhood. Myxomas originating in the right ventricles are even less common in paediatric patient. Our patient baby Rani, 3 months of age presented with shortness of breath and chest indrawing. Antenatal history and delivery was uneventful. The baby was under weight and also malnourished but there was no cyanosis and clubbing. Her respiratory rate was 25/minute. On precordium examination, first heart sound (S1) was normal but pulmonary component of second heart sound (P2) was soft. There was an ejection systolic murmur (Grade-3/6) in the left upper para-sternal area. Chest X-ray revealed cardiomegaly. Echocardiogram revealed a large mass (11x10mm) in the right ventricle, dynamically obstructing the right ventricular out-flow tract and compressing the left ventricle. There was a Tricuspid regurgitation (Grade-2) and moderate pulmonary hypertension (PASP-50 mmHg).

Abstract
The role of platelets in the pathogenesis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been substantiated by studies that demonstrated significant clinical benefits associated with antiplatelet therapy. Initial platelet counts in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) may be a useful adjunct for identifying those patients who may or may not respond to fibrinolytic agents. Patient with acute STEMI has variable level of platelet count and with higher platelet count have poor in hospital outcome. There are many predictors of poor outcome in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) like cardiac biomarkers (Troponin I, Troponin T and CK-MB), C-Reactive Protien (CRP) and WBC (White Blood Cell) counts. Platelet count on presentation of STEMI is one of them. Higher platelet count is associated with higher rate of adverse clinical outcome in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), like heart failure, arrhythmia, re-infarction & death. So, categorization of patient with STEMI on the basis of platelet counts may be helpful for risk stratification and management of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to identify: motivations and perceived barriers associated with food choices made by homebound older adults; whether motivations and perceived barriers vary according to social demographic characteristics; and whether motivations and perceived barriers are associated with dietary quality. DESIGN This was an observational study using standard interview methods where participants were administered a questionnaire and completed three 24-hour dietary recalls. SETTING Participants were interviewed in their homes. PARTICIPANTS 185 homebound older adults were included. MEASUREMENT Motivations were assessed using a modification of The Food Choice Questionnaire and perceived barriers were assessed using the Vailas Food Enjoyment Questionnaire. Participants answered questions regarding social demographic characteristics. Dietary quality measures of adequate intakes of calories, protein, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 were obtained from the three 24-hour dietary recalls. RESULTS Mean age was 78.9; 80% were female; and 36% were African American. Key motivations in food choice included sensory appeal, convenience, and price. Key barriers included health, being on a special diet, and being unable to shop. These varied little by social demographics, except for age. Dietary quality varied according to different motivations and barriers. CONCLUSION Food choices are based upon a complex interaction between the social and environmental context, the individual, and the food. Efforts to change eating behaviors, especially community-based interventions involving self-management approaches, must carefully take into account individuals' self-perceived motivations and barriers to food selection. Incorporating foods that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, and that involve caregivers are critical for successful interventions.

Abstract
Uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors offer the opportunity to significantly expand the potential pool of kidney donors but are associated with a variable duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), where cardiac output is only 30% to 40% of normal. We were concerned that prolonged CPR would adversely affect the function of transplanted kidneys. In our series of 46 uncontrolled donors the mean duration of CPR was 60 minutes, which also represents a realistic cutoff point for CPR duration. Taking a cutoff point of 60 minutes, we found no differences in kidney discard rates following viability assessment, primary nonfunction rate, or duration of delayed graft function. We therefore conclude that if formal viability assessment is performed, kidneys may be retrieved from uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors irrespective of duration of CPR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The contribution of indoor fungal exposure to childhood asthma is not completely clear. OBJECTIVE To investigate airborne fungal flora within the homes of asthmatic and control children, and to assess the influence of housing characteristics regarding indoor fungi. METHODS Forty-seven atopic asthmatic and 23 nonatopic control children were studied. Allergen sensitivity was determined by skin prick tests. A thorough assessment, using a questionnaire and inspection surveys, was carried out. Home visits were made between October 2000 and February 2001. Samples of airborne fungal spores were collected from four rooms by the "open Petri dish" method. Indoor temperature and humidity were measured. RESULTS The total indoor fungal colony counts from the living rooms and bedrooms were significantly higher in the asthma group than in controls (p = .012 and p = .003, respectively). The most commonly isolated genus was Cladosporium. Twelve of the asthmatic patients (25.53 %) were found to be sensitive to fungal allergens. The factors found to be associated with indoor fungal growth in logistic regression were visible fungal patches in the bathrooms [(odds ratio (OR) = 5.75; 95 % CI 1.19 to 27.70)], and the age of the house [OR = 4.24; 95 % CI 1.34 to 13.45]. Total fungal colony numbers did not correlate with indoor temperature or humidity. CONCLUSION Fungal colony numbers were higher in the homes of asthmatic children than in those of controls. Therefore, indoor fungal exposure may contribute to childhood asthma. Bathrooms were the main source of fungal propagules. Old houses were more prone to fungal growth.
