Peripheral neuropathy may be a manifestation of hypothyroidism which usually develops insidiously over a long period of time due to irregular taking of drugs or lack of thyroid hormone replacement. The present study was designed to observe the clinical and electro-physiological findings in hypothyro...

Background: Obesity is an important and independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity andmortality. High incidence of cardiac autonomic nerve dysfunction has been noted in obese subjectswho are at increased risk for sudden death Objective: To study the relationship between sympatheticnerve fu...

Background: Cardiac autonomic nerve dysfunction has been associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with reduced Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Regular practice of slow breathing exercise (SBE) improves cardiac autonomic nerve function.Objective: To assess the effects of slow breathing exercise ...

The study was carried out to observe some aspects of hematological changes like Hb concentration, PCV and TC of RBC in different stages of Chronic Renal Failure(CRF) patients suffering from anemia. For this purpose, 65 male CRF patients with anemia and 25 apparently health male (control) subjects of...

Background: Adolescents are vulnerable to iron deficiency. Deficiency of iron may be associated with deficiency of zinc and high copper level. Objectives: To observe serum zinc and copper status in iron deficient anemic adolescents. Methods: This observational study was conducted in the Department o...
Md Rasel Kabir, Noorzahan Begum, Sultana Ferdousi, Selina Begum et al.
Background: Hyperthyroidism is associated with altered cardiac autonomic nervous activity (CANA). Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis is a promising technique to quantify CANA and therefore can be done in hyperthyroidism. Objective: To observe the HRV parameters in patients with hyperthyroidism to...

Background: Altered cardiovascular autonomic nerve function with impaired sympathovagal balance is found in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis is an important tool for assessment of autonomic nerve activity. Objective: To assess cardiac autonomic nerve function status i...

Background: Anemia is one of the most consistent and severe hematological complication in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. Lowered Hb concentration, packed cell volume (PCV) and total count (TC) of red blood cell (RBC) in such patients and the relation of changes of these values with the severi...
Kawser Jahan, Noorzahan Begum, Sultana Ferdousi
Background: Association of increased cardiovascular morbidity and higher sympathetic activity in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been recognized. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful measure to assess sympatho-vagal balance.Objective: To assess autonomic nerve function status in pati...
