    Abstract The manufacture of regenerated cellulose-based fibers for better mechanical and comfort qualities was stimulated by the rising demand for cotton and the low production rate needed to meet global demands. Modal-cotton blend provides better tensile and moisture management properties. The present work has been designed to sketch out the scope of increased dye fixation or dye uptake opportunity onto the blends. Cotton-modal blend was dyed with mahogany leaf extract dyes avoiding mordant. The higher wash fastness rating 4/5, 5 along with the FTIR characteristic bands around 1190-1210 cm−1 created attention for the confirmation of dye-fibre bonding. But as modal is a regenerated cellulosic fibre, there was a suspect of uneven fixation because of dual way dye penetration options inside the fibre: direct bonding with cotton cellulose and dye penetration into swollen modal fibre through segmental mobility theory. Fortunately the uniformity of shade was affirmed by the determination of evenness through random CMC DE and K/S values at distinguished parts of the same sample. Mordantless mahogany dye fixation on cotton-modal blend was found even at the elevated dyeing temperature of 130 °C. The detailed CIE Lab data explored the close symmetry and uniformity of the dyeing outcomes of the blend.

    Abstract Images have some information that can be perceived by the value or intensity of pixel colors or through their visual appearance, used in medical imaging which is used for medical management to generate a visual representation of the inside functioning of the human body. CT and MRI go through medical imaging techniques that provide valuable information to treat medical conditions. The fused image gives a complete analysis of a patient’s body by revealing the internal structure with comprehensive information through computer processing. In previous research, this process of fusing two images was approached using a specified DWT technique. In this paper, we demonstrate the best image fusion method for a DWT technique so that it can provide a fused image with significant detail. Image fusion can be implemented using Discrete Wavelet Transform techniques, which include nine combinations of Mean-Max-Min fusion methods. The analysis to derive the best fusion method and implementation of the image fusion method using the DWT technique is done using Matlab programming.

    Abstract Objectives: The present research work was taken up to examine the changing pattern of colostrum to normal milk and also to monitor the effect of phages of lactations on compositional changes of milk produced by Holstein-Friesian Crossbred cows of Military Farm Savar. Materials and Methods: A total of 05 milking cows from the first calving were selected. Colostrum samples were gathered on calving and the 5th day after calving. The concentration of major ingredients [fat, protein, lactose, total solids (TS), solid-not-fat (SNF), and ash] changed significantly after birth, the day on 5, similar to normal milk. The average values of specific gravity, fat, protein, lactose, TS, SNF, and ash content of colostrum were observed on day 1 and day 5. Results: The specific gravity was 1.045 and 1.031, respectively. The fat, protein, and lactose contents of colostrum on day 01 and day 05 after calving showed a significant difference. The composition of whole milk showed that the specific gravity was 1.029. According to the different stages of lactation, it was found that the protein, lactose, fat, TS, SNF, and ash content were lower in the first 2 months of lactation. After 3 months of lactation, it started to increase, and there was a significant change at the end of the sampling period. Conclusion: The composition of colostrum and milk of Holstein-Friesian crossbred cows was within the normal range, and the changing pattern was similar to the other dairy breeds. [Vet. Res.

    Abstract Introduction: To reduce the high prevalence of cervical cancers among the Bangladeshi women, the Government of Bangladesh established a national cervical cancer screening programme in 2005 for women aged 30 to 60 years. The District Health Information System Version 2 (DHIS2) based electronic aggregated data collection system is used since the year 2013. This study summarises data from the year 2014 to 2022 to assess the effectiveness of the electronic data collection system in understanding the outcome of the screening programme.
    Methods: This is a descriptive study based on secondary data extracted in MS Excel from the DHIS2-based electronic repository of the national cervical cancer screening programme of Bangladesh. The respondents were women aged 30-60 years, screened for cervical cancer using VIA (Visual Inspection of cervix with Acetic acid) method in 465 government health facilities. The data were collected on the participants' residential location, month and year of screening, name and type of health facilities performing VIA, and VIA screening results.
    Results: The national screening programme reported a total 3.36 million VIA tests from 465 government hospitals in 8 years (2014 to 2022). The national average VIA-positivity rate was 3.6%, which varied from 1.4 to 9.5% among the districts. This national screening programme witnessed an exponential growth, year after year, with 83.3% increase in VIA test from 2014 to 2022. The primary and the secondary care hospitals were the highest collective contributors of VIA tests (86.2%) and positive cases (77.8%). The VIA-positivity rates in different hospital types varied widely, 7.0% in the medical university hospital, 5.7% in the medical college hospitals, 3.9% in the district/general hospitals, and 3.0% in the upazila health complexes.
    Conclusions: A national cervical cancer screening programme using VIA method and a DHIS2-based electronic data collection backbone, is effective, sustainable, and useful to understand the screening coverage, VIA positivity rate and geographic distribution of the participants and case load to initiate policy recommendations and actions. Decentralization of the screening programme and more efforts at the primary and secondary care level is required to increase screening performances.

    Abstract Background and aim: Low concentrations of heavy metals are toxic and pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. Therefore, regular assessments of the toxic metal content in poultry feed are crucial for evaluating feed quality and customer safety. It is difficult to determine the heavy metals in the poultry feed at the trace amount. Therefore, this study aimed to validate this method through the detection of three heavy metals, chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb), in poultry feed samples.
    Materials and methods: Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) method was used to analyze the heavy metals in poultry feed according to the guidelines given by the Council Directive 333/2007/EC, Commission Decision 657/2002/EC. In this study, various parameters such as linearity check, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), recovery percentage, precision checks, repeatability, reproducibility, and uncertainty measurement were considered to validate and assess the method following international guidelines. Heavy metals, such as Pb, Cr, and Cd, were analyzed from the feed samples in the laboratory using the GF-AAS method (Model: AA-7000 Shimadzu, Japan) with high purity argon as the inert gas, and the absorbance was read at wavelengths of 283.0, 357.9, and 228.8 nm, respectively.
    Results: The coefficient of variation (CV%) for system suitability and precision data was <10% for all the metals (Pb, Cr, and Cd) detected in this study. The overall CV% of repeatability and reproducibility ranged from 8.70% to 8.76% and 8.65% to 9.96%, respectively. The linearity of the calibration curves was excellent (r
    Conclusion: The results show that these study criteria or parameters have met the validated or acceptable range. Therefore, it is a reliable technique that can be used undoubtedly for the routine analysis of heavy metals in poultry feed samples across the globe.

    Abstract Introduction: Insulin pen devices and disposable plastic insulin syringes are two common tools for insulin administration. This study aims to compare the simplicity, convenience, safety, and cost-effectiveness of insulin pens versus syringe devices in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 14 diabetes clinics throughout Bangladesh from November 2021 to April 2022 among adults with T2DM injecting insulin by pen devices or disposable insulin syringes at least once a day for at least one year by purposive sampling. The simplicity, convenience, and safety of insulin devices were assessed using a structured questionnaire, and the study subjects were scored based on their answers; higher scores indicated a poorer response. Total scores for simplicity, convenience, and safety were obtained by adding the scores for relevant components. Their average monthly medical expense and cost of insulin therapy were recorded. The median values of the total scores and monthly expenses were compared between pen devices and disposable syringe users.
    Results: 737 subjects were evaluated; 406 were pen users, and 331 were vial syringe users. The pen users had lower median scores for simplicity [6.0 (5.0-8.0) vs. 7.0 (5.0-9.0), p = 0.002], convenience [4.0 (3.0-6.0) vs. 5.0 (4.0-6.0), p < 0.001], and safety [7.0 (6.0-8.0) vs. 7.0 (6.0-9.0), p = 0.008] than vial syringe users. Pen devices were more expensive than vial syringes in terms of average medical expense per month [BDT 5000 (3500-7000) vs. 3000 (2000-5000), p < 0.001], the total cost of insulin therapy per month [BDT 2000 (1500-3000) vs. 1200 (800-1700), p < 0.001] and cost per unit of insulin used [BDT 2.08 (1.39-2.78) vs. 0.96 (0.64-1.39), p < 0.001]. Non-significant differences in favor of pens were observed in HbA1c levels [8.7 (7.8-10) vs. 8.9 (7.9-10)%, p = 0.607] and proportions of subjects having HbA1c < 7% (6.9 vs. 6.3%, p = 0.991).
    Conclusion: Insulin pens are simpler, more convenient, and safe but more expensive than vial syringes. Glycemic control is comparable between pen and syringe users. Long-term follow-up studies are needed to determine the clinical and economic impacts of such benefits of insulin pens.

    Abstract The global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) intertwined with cardiovascular disease has become a major health problem. Oxidative stress (OS) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of CKD. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant responsive element (ARE) antioxidant system plays a critical role in kidney protection by regulating antioxidants during OS. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), one of the targets of Nrf2-ARE, plays an important role in regulating OS and is protective in a variety of human and animal models of kidney disease. Thus, activation of Nrf2-HO-1 signaling may offer a potential approach to the design of novel therapeutic agents for kidney diseases. In this review, we have discussed the association between OS and the pathogenesis of CKD. We propose Nrf2-HO-1 signaling-mediated cell survival systems be explored as pharmacological targets for the treatment of CKD and have reviewed the literature on the beneficial effects of small molecule natural products that may provide protection against CKD.

    Abstract The key tumor suppressor protein p53, additionally known as p53, represents an attractive target for the development and management of anti-cancer therapies. p53 has been implicated as a tumor suppressor protein that has multiple aspects of biological function comprising energy metabolism, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, growth and differentiation, senescence, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, and cancer biology. Autophagy, a cellular self-defense system, is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process involved in various physiological processes that maintain cellular homeostasis. Numerous studies have found that p53 modulates autophagy, although the relationship between p53 and autophagy is relatively complex and not well understood. Recently, several experimental studies have been reported that p53 can act both an inhibitor and an activator of autophagy which depend on its cellular localization as well as its mode of action. Emerging evidences have been suggested that the dual role of p53 which suppresses and stimulates autophagy in various cencer cells. It has been found that p53 suppression and activation are important to modulate autophagy for tumor promotion and cancer treatment. On the other hand, activation of autophagy by p53 has been recommended as a protective function of p53. Therefore, elucidation of the new functions of p53 and autophagy could contribute to the development of novel therapeutic approaches in cancer biology. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of p53 and autophagy shows reciprocal functional interaction that is a major importance for cancer treatment and manegement. Additionally, several synthetic drugs and phytochemicals have been targeted to modulate p53 signaling via regulation of autophagy pathway in cancer cells. This review emphasizes the current perspectives and the role of p53 as the main regulator of autophagy-mediated novel therapeutic approaches against cancer treatment and managements.
