    Abstract Background: Bangladesh has improved maternal and child health, but healthcare indicators and access still need enhancement. Factors that contribute to increased antenatal care (ANC) need to be explored to inform healthcare policies. The study examined whether community-level (supply-side) predictors outperform individual/family-level (demand-side) predictors for the desired number of ANC services.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study collected primary data from 630 pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in seven upazilas in Rangpur and Nilphamari districts of Bangladesh in 2022. The individual/family and community-level factors as predictors of desired antenatal care services were investigated using a semi-structured questionnaire. Various statistical techniques including the Student t-test, z-test, Chi-square test, and logistic regression model were employed in analyzing the data.
    Results: Out of the total 630 participants, the majority were literate women who belong to higher pregnancy order and received benefits from SSNPs. In addition to this, these women did not earn and neither were the empowered. The outcome variable was the receiving status of 4+ ANC services by PLWs, which varied by different covariates. The desired 4+ ANC service received by 73 % PLWs. The significant (p < 0.05) predictors of receiving 4+ ANC services were secondary-level education (95 % CI:0.97-7.55), knowledge on danger signs (95 % CI:1.02-1.48), empowered women (95 % CI:0.99-2.69), community clinics as place of services (95 % CI:1.52-3.49), sources of information through SMS (95 % CI:2.63-7.04) and fully functional community clinic (95 % CI:1.0-2.347). The statistical evidence through the values of pseudo R
    Conclusion: The findings indicate that community level predictors played a dominant role in receiving the 4+ ANC services in Bangladesh. In short, the well-functioning of community clinics in tandem with government forums/bodies and awareness raising through SMS messages, are sufficient for ensuring the desired number of ANC services in rural areas of Bangladesh.

    Abstract The study focuses on the chemistry of groundwater and if it is suitable for drinking and for use in agriculture using water quality indices, GIS mapping, and multivariate analyses in Sharsa Upazila, Jashore district, Bangladesh. In this study, the concentration of NH4+, K+, Ca2+, EC, Turbidity overstep BDWS drinking standards in 69 %, 14 %, 100 %, 40 % (WHO), 73 % of samples respectively. The value of Water Quality Indices (WQI) results inferred that the maximum specimen was held good quality for drinking uses, and the values distributed central eastern part to the south-eastern part were good quality water in the selected studied area. The study area's PH, EC, SAR, Na (%), TH, and NO3− values were mapped using GIS tools to show their spatial distribution. The cluster and correlation matrix analyses are used to validate for Principle Component Analysis (PCA). The five PCA results exhibited that the presence of EC, turbidity, K+, SO42− and NO3− was significant and was caused by both geogenic (rock weathering and cation exchange) and anthropogenic (agrochemicals, animal feedback) factor. According to the hydro-geochemical data, the maximum number of samples is of the Ca–Mg–HCO3–Cl type and is dominated by rocks. The irrigation water indices like MH, KR, SAR, and %Na indicate show high-quality groundwater for irrigation purposes. Most of the samples were satisfactory and compiled with WHO and Bangladeshi criteria for standard drinking water guideline values.

    Abstract A major obstacle to in-depth investigation of the immune response against Nipah virus (NiV) infection is its rapid progression and high mortality rate. This paper described novel information on the vertical transfer of immune properties. In January 2020, a female aged below five years and her mother from Faridpur district of Bangladesh were infected. Both had a history of raw date palm sap consumption and were diagnosed as confirmed NiV cases. The daughter passed away, and the mother survived with significant residual neurological impairment. She conceived one and a half year later and was under thorough antenatal follow-up by the surveillance authority. A healthy male baby was born. As part of routine survivor follow-up, specimens were collected from the newborn and tested for NiV infection at the reference laboratory to exclude vertical transmission. Although testing negative for anti-Nipah IgM and PCR for NiV, a high titre of anti-Nipah IgG was observed. The transfer of humoral immunity against NiV from mother to neonate was confirmed for the first time. The article will serve as a reference for further exploration regarding NiV-specific antibodies that are transferred through the placenta, their potential to protect newborns, and how this may influence vaccine recommendations.

    Abstract Genes in which germline mutations confer highly or moderately increased risks of cancer are called cancer predisposition genes. More than 100 of these genes have been identified, providing important scientific insights in many areas, particularly the mechanisms of cancer causation. Moreover, clinical utilization of cancer predisposition genes has had a substantial impact on diagnosis, optimized management and prevention of cancer. The recent transformative advances in DNA sequencing hold the promise of many more cancer predisposition gene discoveries, and greater and broader clinical applications. However, there is also considerable potential for incorrect inferences and inappropriate clinical applications. Realizing the promise of cancer predisposition genes for science and medicine will thus require careful navigation.

    Abstract The changing dynamics of river ecosystems from aquatic to terrestrial in the Southwestern areas of Bangladesh have been widely observed in recent years. Nevertheless, there has been no consensus on whether the changes are caused by human activities or by natural processes. For a better understanding of the cause, this study was conducted based on a field survey through a pre-tested structured questionnaire measuring the river water quality. The water quality of the river was assessed to know how much the existing river water was affecting its aquatic ecosystem or not. People’s perception was also investigated to assess the factors mostly responsible for changing the river ecosystem. It was found that the most responsible factors are human activities. Among them, the construction of cross embankments over and along the Bhairab River was the most (22%) responsible factor for changing the river ecosystem. The 2nd and 3rd most responsible factors were bridge construction (18%) and illegal encroachment (18%). Other reasons for changing the ecosystem of the river were the diversion (16%), cultivation of the riverside land (12%), the introduction of exotic species (8%), and disposal of wastes and industrial effluents into the river (6%), respectively. Besides, it is also believed that the construction of Farakka Barrage on the River Ganges (the mother of the Bhairab River) is also responsible for changing the aquatic ecosystem into a terrestrial ecosystem.

    Abstract Background: Dietary diversity is a key determinant of infant and young child eating patterns for a variety of food groups taken by children between the ages of 6-23 months. The study aimed to examine the association between prenatal and postnatal obstetric care factors of mother and child's dietary diversity, and specific food practices in Bangladesh.
    Methods: This study analyzed the data of 2497 children between the age of 6-23 extracted from the latest countrywide Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey 2017-2018 and explored relationships between prenatal and postnatal obstetric care received by mother and dietary diversity score (DDS), minimum dietary diversity (MDD), and introduction of solid, semi-solid, and soft foods (ISSSF) of their children.
    Results: Findings revealed that ≥ 4 antenatal care (ANC) visits care visits increased the DDS (adjusted [Formula: see text]: 0.32, 95% CI [0.21, 0.43]), increased the likelihood of MDD (AOR 1.54, 95% CI [1.23, 1.93]), and ISSSF (AOR 1.24, 95% CI [1.08, 1.48]), consuming eggs (AOR 1.47, 95% CI [1.23, 1.76]), and vitamin A vegetables and fruits (AOR 1.38, 95% CI [1.15, 1.66]). Moreover, DDS (adjusted β: 0.05, 95% CI [0.00, 0.11]) and MDD (AOR 1.66, 95% CI [1.31, 2.11]) are linked to childbirth in a medical facility. The C-section delivery influences the DDS (adjusted [Formula: see text]: 0.05, 95% CI [0.00, 0.10]), MDD (AOR 1.39, 95% CI [1.10, 1.75]), and ISSSF (AOR 1.22, 95% CI [1.02, 1.48]). Besides, postnatal visits within 48 h of delivery linked to MDD (AOR 0.66, 95% CI [0.49, 0.89]) and ISSSF (AOR 0.76, 95% CI [0.59, 0.97]), and physicians or professionals providing postnatal checkups were significantly associated with DDS (adjusted [Formula: see text]: 0.09, 95% CI [0.02, 0.16]), MDD (AOR 1.69, 95% CI [1.26, 2.26]), and ISSSF (AOR 1.30, 95% CI [1.04, 1.62]).
    Conclusion: Knowledge of child nutritional feeding should emphasize during prenatal and postnatal obstetric care of mother, particularly during antenatal and postnatal visits, C-section delivery, and birth in a healthcare facility to eradicate malnutrition and establish healthy child feeding practices.

    Abstract The study of brain-to-brain synchrony has a burgeoning application in the brain-computer interface (BCI) research, offering valuable insights into the neural underpinnings of interacting human brains using numerous neural recording technologies. The area allows exploring the commonality of brain dynamics by evaluating the neural synchronization among a group of people performing a specified task. The growing number of publications on brain-to-brain synchrony inspired the authors to conduct a systematic review using the PRISMA protocol so that future researchers can get a comprehensive understanding of the paradigms, methodologies, translational algorithms, and challenges in the area of brain-to-brain synchrony research. This review has gone through a systematic search with a specified search string and selected some articles based on pre-specified eligibility criteria. The findings from the review revealed that most of the articles have followed the social psychology paradigm, while 36% of the selected studies have an application in cognitive neuroscience. The most applied approach to determine neural connectivity is a coherence measure utilizing phase-locking value (PLV) in the EEG studies, followed by wavelet transform coherence (WTC) in all of the fNIRS studies. While most of the experiments have control experiments as a part of their setup, a small number implemented algorithmic control, and only one study had interventional or a stimulus-induced control experiment to limit spurious synchronization. Hence, to the best of the authors' knowledge, this systematic review solely contributes to critically evaluating the scopes and technological advances of brain-to-brain synchrony to allow this discipline to produce more effective research outcomes in the remote future.
