The initiation and evolution of a kilometre‐scale, sand braid‐bar was monitored during a 28‐month survey period from 1993 to 1996 in one of the world’s largest braided rivers, the Jamuna River, Bangladesh. Repeated bathymetric surveys through two monsoon flood seasons, combined with bar‐top surveys ...

Abstract The three-dimensional subsurface alluvial architecture of a large (approximately 3 km long, 1 km wide, 12 m high), mid-channel sand braid bar in the Jamuna River, Bangladesh is described. Evolution of the bar and its depositional characteristics are assessed from a unique combination of gro...

Detailed vertical profiles of time-averaged flow velocities and sediment concentration were taken during three periods of mid-channel bar development in the Jamuna River, Bangladesh. Bar growth was initiated downstream from a major flow convergence and generated a bar 4 km long and 1 km wide in a ch...

This thesis quantifies the occurrence, morphology and flow dynamics of dune bcdforms in the main rivers of Bangladesh: the Jamuna, Meghna and Ganges. Field work was conducted as part of the River Survey Project (Bangladesh Flood Action Plan 24) between November 1993 and March 1996, hence encompassi...

Bangladesh is dominated by three great rivers – the Jamuna–Brahmaputra, Ganga, and Meghna – that combine to feed sediment into one of the World's largest deltas in the Bay of Bengal. The Jamuna River has developed in a region of significant tectonic activity associated with Himalayan uplift and deve...

Bats, rodents and monkeys are reservoirs for emerging zoonotic infections. We sought to describe the frequency of human exposure to these animals and the seasonal and geographic variation of these exposures in Bangladesh. During 2013–2016, we conducted a cross-sectional survey in a nationally repres...

BACKGROUND: Lack of access to functional and hygienic toilets in healthcare facilities (HCFs) is a significant public health issue in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), leading to the transmission of infectious diseases. Globally, there is a lack of studies characterising toilet conditions an...

This retrospective study on X-linked PDHA1-related pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) deficiency combined a systematic literature review with a multicenter survey exploring genotypes, phenotypes, and survival. Data from 891 individuals (45% unpublished) were included. Of note, 53% of cases were f...

Purpose: Bangladesh is at risk for emerging infectious disease transmission from wildlife to humans because of its extremely dense human population, wildlife diversity, deforestation, urbanization and habitat migration. There are some known examples of diseases that have been transmitted to humans f...
