BACKGROUND: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is an enigmatic disorder of the small intestine that is postulated to play a role in childhood undernutrition, a pressing global health problem. Defining the incidence of this disorder, its pathophysiological features, and its contribution to impai...

The possible utilization of rice husk activated carbon as an adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions has been investigated. In this study, activated carbons, prepared from low-cost rice husk by sulfuric acid and zinc chloride activation, were used as the adsorbent for ...

To survey the diversity of anuran species in Bangladesh, we compared mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences (approximately 1.4 kbp) from 107 Bangladesh frog specimens. The results of genetic divergence and phylogenetic analyses incorporating data from related species revealed the occurrence of at lea...

The microbiota of the nasopharyngeal tract (NT) play a role in host immunity against respiratory infectious diseases. However, scant information is available on interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with the nasopharyngeal microbiome. This study characterizes the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on human nasoph...

Dyes have widespread applications and exist in the effluents of various manufacturing and processing units; therefore, its discharge has a severe environmental impact. However, the complex aromatic molecular structures of dyes make them very stable, and as a result, more difficult to biodegrade. The...

We determined the complete nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial (mt) genomes from two dicroglossid frogs, Hoplobatrachus tigerinus (Indian Bullfrog) and Euphlyctis hexadactylus (Indian Green frog). The genome sizes are 20462 bp in H. tigerinus and 20280 bp in E. hexadactylus. Although both genomes ...

Epileptic seizure is a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal synchronous discharge of the neuronal activities in the brain structures. These abnormal electrical activities can be recorded via multi-channel electroencephalography (EEG) signals placed on the scalp of the brain. Usually, thes...

Activated carbon prepared from sawdust is endeavored as adsorbent for the removal of reactive dye, namely Remazol Red (RR) from aqueous media. The adsorption of RR has been studied onto activated sawdust at various particle size, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH values. The adsorptions of the abov...

ABSTRACT This paper details the phenotypic, genotypic, and antibiotic sensitivity patterns of 88 Vibrio cholerae strains from Zimbabwe. Of the 88 strains, 83 were classified as “altered El Tor” and 5 as “hybrid El Tor” strains. All of the strains were susceptible to tetracycline, doxycycline, ciprof...

This research assesses radioactivity in soil and coal samples around the Barapukuria coal-fired thermal power plant using a high-purity germanium detector. The range of activity of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in the studied soil samples were 14–75, 16–112, and 132–460 Bqkg−1, respectively and the respecti...
