Abstract: Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in children especially among those with sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Objectives: This study aimed to determine the aetiologic agents causing UTI and their antimicrobial sensitivity patterns among children with SCA in a tertiary hospital. Methodology: Two hundred and seventy two children with SCA in stable state and in crises aged 6 months to 15 years had their urine samples screened for significant bacteriuria. The urine samples were collected aseptically and incubated aerobically at 37°C for 24 hours within one hour of collection for bacteriuria. Their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern was also determined.

Abstract: Snoring is an important sign of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD), of the upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), and of the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring is a symptom of nasal obstruction and is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Roommates or bed partners are also suffered by snorers. In-house monitoring of snoring is very useful for evaluation by bed partner or roommate as well as polysomnography in sleeping centre. Process to evaluate and monitoring snoring available in the country are mechanical process. Our objective is to evaluate a biochemical process to minimize snoring with two mucolytic expectorants Ambroxol & Bromhexine and compare their performance in non OSA Bangladeshi patients.32 snorers with no other respiratory disease like asthma , bronchitis etc. and who has ESS score 8-16 and SSS score 2-4,were taken from a Sleep Medicine Centre of Japan Bangladesh Friendship Hospital, 15 students from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall, Jahangirnagar University and another 15 from University of Development Alternative(UODA). The procedure and scoring were performed by help of roommates and bed partners. Snoring was measured on the basis of Frequency, Loudness, Snoring Index and day time sleepiness using Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).

Abstract: Herbal medicines are used in North Sudan to treat diabetes due to their traditional acceptability and availability. The plants are used in crude form or as extract, individually or as a mixture. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of aqueous extracts of Aloe sinkatana, Guiera senegalensis,Trigonella foenum-graecum ,Lupinus albus, Zygophyllum coccineum, Allium cepa, Allium Sativum, Hyphaene thebaica, Balanites aegyptiaca and Acacia albida on blood glucose and lipid profile in Type 2 diabetic patients. Hundred and ten (110) Type 2 diabetics were selected randomly from patients attending to Eldaba Chinese hospital routinely. Ten patients formed the control group and the other hundred patients formed the experimental groups, each group comprising ten patients. Aqueous extract of a particular plant was given to a particular experimental group for thirty days maintaining homogeneity in other variables to allow statistical analysis. Blood samples were collected at the end of the experiment and biochemical parameters were analyzed. Fasting blood sugar level was lowered significantly by the plant extracts. The order of effectiveness was Lupinus albus 120±9 mg/dl, p<0.02), B. aegyptiaca (121±18mg/dl, p<0.02) Allium Sativum129±10 mg/dl, p<0.03),Allium cepa (130±12 mg/dl, p<0.03), Guiera senegalensis131±12 mg/dl, p<0.04), Aloe sinkatana (132±11mg/dl, p<0.05), H. thebaica 132±14 mg/dl, p<0.05) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (133±14 mg/dl, p<0.05). Although some changes were noted in blood sugar level in groups treated with Z. coccineum and Acacia albida extracts but these differences did not reach statistical significance. Lupinus albus,Allium Sativum,Allium cepa Guiera senegalensis1,Aloe sinkatana showed significant (p<0.04) reduction in triglycerides (TG), TC, and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) coupled with significance increase in HDL ( p=0.03). Lupinus albus,Allium Sativum,Allium cepa Guiera senegalensis1 and A. sinkatana exhibited anti-diabetic as well as hypolipidemic effects in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract: Objective: To compare prostatic diseases like BPH and Prostatic cancer by estimating the levels of serum Prostatic Acid phosphatase (PAP) and total PSA levels. PSA is an extremely useful tumour marker in prostatic diseases. In normal cases PSA ranges from 0-4ng/ml. Values between 4-10ng/ml are seen in cases of BPH and above levels are seen in prostatic cancer. Normal serum PAP ranges from 0-5 K.A units/dl. Elevated levels can be seen in benign conditions like BPH and also in malignant conditions like prostate cancer with and without metastasis. Total PSA levels were estimated by ELISA and serum PAP levels were estimated by K.A method. Results: In our present study, significant elevation (p<0.001) of PSA was observed in malignant tumours with >20ng/dl and in BPH around 10ng/ml. Serum PAP levels were elevated in cases of BPH and prostatic cancer. Conclusion: Significant elevation of total PSA in BPH cases and cancer of the prostate with and without metastasis.
