An experiment was conducted in the month of November, 2021 at Crop Physiology and Ecology Laboratory, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh to study impact tobacco industry wastewater on germination early seedling traits five mung bean accessions (BD-10022, BD-10023, BD-10024, BD-10026 BD-10027) following factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with thre...

Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is the emerging infectious disease implicated in recent population declines and extinctions of amphibian species worldwide. Bd strains from regions of disease-associated amphibian decline to date have all belonged to a single, hypervirulent clonal genotype (Bd-GPL). However, earlier studies in the Atlantic Forest of sou...

OBJECTIVE Few data about the development of infants born to women with bipolar disorder have been published. We hypothesized that infants of women with bipolar disorder (by DSM-IV criteria) treated with psychotropics (BD+) or untreated with psychotropics (BD-) would demonstrate poorer cognitive and behavioral development than infants of controls. On the basis of previous studies, we expected th...

For a developing nation, deploying big data (BD) technology and introducing data science in higher education is a challenge. A pessimistic scenario is: Mis-use of data in many possible ways, waste of trained manpower, poor BD certifications from institutes, under-utilization of resources, disgruntled management staff, unhealthy competition in the market, poor integration with existing technical...

Aim The aim of this study was to compare the Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication regimens in patients with end stage renal disease. Background In patients undergoing hemodialysis, the pathologic changes seen in the stomach may be the result of high serum levels of gastrin, delayed gastric emptying or HP infection. Methods Our study was a randomized clinical trial in which 120 patients with...

Genetic factors are important in the etiology of bipolar disorder (BD). However, first-degree relatives of BD patients are at risk for a number of psychiatric conditions, most commonly major depressive disorder (MDD), although the majority remain well. The purpose of the present study was to identify potential brain structural correlates for risk and resilience to mood disorders in patients wit...

Measures of cognitive dysfunction in Bipolar Disorder (BD) have identified state and trait dependent metrics. An influence of substance abuse (SUD) on BD has been suggested. This study investigates potential differential, additive, or interactive cognitive dysfunction in bipolar patients with or without a history of SUD. Two hundred fifty-six individuals with BD, 98 without SUD and 158 with SUD...

PURPOSE Studies investigating the association between the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene polymorphisms and Behcet's disease (BD) report conflicting results. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the association between TNF gene polymorphisms and BD. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted to identify all relevant studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence inter...

OBJECTIVES Given the pathological similarities between Behçet's disease (BD), Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) and Crohn's disease (CD) we evaluated the frequency of mutations and polymorphisms in MEFV, TNFRSF1A and CARD15 in Israeli BD patients of either Jewish or Arab descent. METHODS Fifty-four BD patients (11 Jews and 43 Arabs), evaluat...

INTRODUCTION Immune mechanisms have been implemented to have a role in the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease (BD) and vitamin D has been shown to have a regulatory role in the immune system function. AIM To evaluate the vitamin D levels of BD patients and its relationship between clinical findings and disease activity of BD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-eight patients with BD and 70 age- and s...
