Background The relationship between macronutrients and cardiovascular disease and mortality is controversial. Most available data are from European and North American populations where nutrition excess is more likely, so their applicability to other populations is unclear. Methods The Prospective Ur...

BACKGROUND The association between intake of fruits, vegetables, and legumes with cardiovascular disease and deaths has been investigated extensively in Europe, the USA, Japan, and China, but little or no data are available from the Middle East, South America, Africa, or south Asia. METHODS We did a...

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is considered the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but its control is poor worldwide. We aimed to assess the availability and affordability of blood pressure-lowering medicines, and the association with use of these medicines and blood pressure control...

Forest carbon stocks can be estimated using some easily measureable stand variables, such as basal area, mean or maximum tree height and wood density. Estimation of stand level carbon stocks per unit area of forests or woodlands is of great importance for forestry related mitigation options of futur...

CONTEXT: Thrombus formation inside the blood vessels obstructs blood flow through the circulatory system leading hypertension, stroke to the heart, anoxia, and so on. Thrombolytic drugs are widely used for the management of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis patients, but they have certain limitations...

Globally, with the growing importance of mangroves for providing ecosystem services and mitigating climate change, it is still uncertain whether planted mangroves can be the counterpart of natural mangroves, and thus the role of planted mangroves is still less understood. Therefore, this study aimed...

Globally, sea levels are rising due to climate change which would influence the salinity levels in mangroves. In the framework of this study, we focused on the influence of salinity and differences of forest structure on the fine root biomass (FRB) and carbon stocks in the Sundarbans mangrove forest...

Estimation of biomass carbon per unit area of forests or woodlands is of great concern to ecologists and forest managers considering global climate change scenarios. In the framework of this study, we intend to develop allometric models to predict stem volume and stand level carbon stocks in monocul...

Sundri (Heritiera fomes Buch.-Ham.) is an evergreen mangrove tree species found abundantly in the freshwater zone of Sundarbans, Bangladesh and scattered in moderate or strong saline zones of the forest. H. fomes grows well in top canopy having full sunlight and even in full shade under the canopy. ...

The relationship between stand attributes and biomass accumulation pattern in a mangrove forest has been intensively studied in this study. We assessed above (AGM) and belowground mass (BGM) and examined the relationship between forest attributes and aboveground mass in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh. T...

Regeneration in the canopy gaps in medium saline zone of the Sundarbans Reserve Forest (SRF), Bangladesh was studied to investigate either significant floristic and structural differences between canopy gaps and adjacent forest with continuous canopy. A total of eighteen plots (30 m × 20 m) with an ...
