Given the increases in drug-resistant tuberculosis, laboratory capacities for drug susceptibility testing are being scaled up worldwide. A laboratory must decide among several endorsed methodologies. We evaluated 87 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates for concordance of susceptibility results across...

BACKGROUND: Understanding tuberculosis (TB) transmission dynamics is essential for establishing effective TB control strategies in settings where the burden and risk of transmission are high. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of active screening on controlling TB transmission ...

BACKGROUND: From long instances, it is debatable whether three sputum specimens are required for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) or TB can be diagnosed effectively using two consecutive sputum specimens. This study was set out to evaluate the significance of examining multiple sputum sp...

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment in Bangladesh is empiric or based on qualitative drug-susceptibility testing (DST) by comparative growth in culture media with and without a single drug concentration. METHODS: Adult patients were enrolled throughout Bangladesh during t...

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common non communicable diseases throughout the world. According to the data of Bangladesh Renal Registry almost twenty millions of Bangladeshi adults are suffering from various stages of CKD. Many of these CKD patients ultimately develop...

For building a linear prediction model, Backward Elimination (BE) is a computationally suitable stepwise procedure for sequencing the candidate predictors. This method yields poor results when data contain outliers and other contaminations. Robust model selection procedures, on the other hand, are n...

Brucellosis, a widespread infectious disease with the potential for transmission between animals and humans, presents a significant global challenge to public health and animal productivity. Conventional methods for predicting and managing brucellosis face limitations in terms of accuracy and effect...

Forward selection (FS) is a step-by-step model-building algorithm for linear regression. The FS algorithm was expressed in terms of sample correlations where Pearsons product-moment correlation was used. The FS yields poor results when the data contain contaminations. In this article, we propose th...
