OBJECTIVE: Childhood stunting remains a major public health concern in Bangladesh. To accelerate the reduction rate of stunting, special focus is required during the first 23 months of a child's life when the bulk of growth takes place. Therefore the present study explored individual-, maternal- and...

Abstract Overexpression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) has been associated with chemotherapeutic resistance, leads to aggressive tumor behavior, and results in an adverse clinical outcome. The molecular mechanism by which EpCAM enrichment is linked to therapeutic resistance via Nrf2, a...

Twenty three small indigenous fish species (SIS) in the size range of 3-18 cm were analyzed for proximate composition and minerals (Ca and P) content to evaluate their nutritive value. The moisture content of different species ranged between 71.00 and 81.94%. In general, small sized fishes showed hi...

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that daily supplementation of 1500 to 2000 mg of calcium during pregnancy reduces pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). However, the evidence on the efficacy of low-dose calcium supplementation on PIH is limited. This paper assesses the longitudinal correlation between ...

Organic matter (OM) degradation from amendments used in the remediation of metal-contaminated soils leads to modifications in soil chemical properties immediately after addition, which can also affect the soil metal distribution. Therefore, the speciation and potential mobility of heavy metals e.g.,...
