The study groups comprised individuals undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, those using removable appliances, and individuals who had not undergone any orthodontic treatment. Plaque samples were collected from the patients at the initiation of treatment and six months thereafter. After selective culturing in a specific medium, dental plaque samples were purified and subjected to microbial analysis using the VITEK 2 system (Biomerieux). The study aimed to identify and compare the microbial content of plaque samples from different orthodontic treatment groups. Actinomyces species were identified in all groups at both the initiation of treatment (T0) and six months later (T1) periods. At the beginning of treatment, Actinomyces species were found in 33 samples, while at six months, they were present in 18 samples. The curent study revealed similar microorganisms among the groups at both T0 and T1 periods. The Actinomyces species identified in this study include Actinomyces meyeri, Actinomyces naeslundii, and Actinomyces odontolyticus. It is evident that orthodontic treatments significantly impact oral health and that Actinomyces microorganisms are always likely to be present in the oral flora.\u0000Asian J. Med. Biol.

Industrial enzymes are crucial in various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, the textile industry, the manufacturing of chemicals, biodiesel, the food and beverages industry, and consumer goods. Enzymes can be obtained from multiple sources, including microbes, animals, and plants. Microorganisms, especially bacteria and fungi, provide more than 50% of industrial enzymes because of their advantageous growth features, low nutritional needs, and biochemical diversity. Bangladesh's economy relies heavily on agriculture and generates biomass energy from waste such as rice husk, straw, jute sticks, and sugarcane bagasse. To reduce the environmental impact, it is vital to modify these waste materials into beneficial industrial and commercial products, like enzymes. This review article investigates the current landscape, scope, and challenges of industrial enzyme production in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has become an appealing destination for biotech firms due to variables such as yearly bio-product imports, local market consumer demand, and the availability of resources and competent people. In 2021, Bangladesh ranked as the 34th largest importer of enzymes worldwide, with an import value of $47.4 million. Bangladesh mainly imports enzymes from Turkey, Malaysia, China, Singapore, and Sri Lanka. This study identifies a critical research gap, which is the lack of a dedicated industrial enzyme production industry in Bangladesh. This gap is impeding large-scale implementation, despite ongoing research efforts. Furthermore, we suggest the establishment of a specialized industrial enzyme production sector in Bangladesh, which would benefit the environment and promote economic growth through the utilization of agro-industrial waste resources. Finally, this thorough assessment of current industrial enzyme research in Bangladesh seeks to provide researchers and stakeholders with essential information for future development. Collaboration between the government, businesses, and academics is critical to fostering growth and capitalizing on the potential of the worldwide enzyme industry.\u0000Asian J. Med. Biol.

The present investigation, conducted between May and December 2015 in Kattoli, a representative locality along the Chattogram coast, was undertaken to perform a comprehensive bio-socio-economic analysis of the ESBN fishery. The analysis of the catch composition in Kattoli revealed that finfish constituted 67.67%, shrimp accounted for 24.34%, and crab made up 7.99% of the total catch. The average daily catch per boat in Kattoli was determined to be 25.8 kg. The zenith of the total daily catch per boat, reaching 70 kg, was observed in December, while the nadir occurred in August, when no fishing activities were recorded in Kattoli. The cumulative catch over the study period in Kattoli amounted to 26,664 kg, with a complete absence of fishing in August. Moreover, the average daily catch per fisherman stood at 6.19 kg in Kattoli. In terms of economic considerations, the mean monthly cost per boat in the Kattoli region was approximately 8,750 BDT, while the average monthly sales revenue exceeded 28,695 BDT in Kattoli. Notably, during July and August, a substantial proportion of fishermen were engaged in Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) fishing utilizing gill nets, which resulted in a diminished catch with ESBN during these months. Furthermore, the preliminary socio-economic conditions of the study area were also explored. This research offers valuable insights into the bio-socio-economic dimensions of the ESBN fishery in the Kattoli coastal area, with potential practical implications for fisheries management and the livelihoods of the local fishing community.

However, research focusing on the Bangladeshi population is extremely rare. A number of dermatology clinics in Bangladesh are providing advanced treatment; therefore, the efficacy of those treatments needs to be assessed. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of alopecia in Bangladesh and identify the factors that are associated with poor treatment responses to administered therapies. We conducted a cross-sectional study among alopecia patients who were getting treatment at Aurora Skin and Aesthetics and completed at least six sessions under an experienced physician. Interviews run by experienced physicians collected demographic, clinical, treatment, and comorbidity-related information from patients aged between 18 and 65 years. The collected data were analyzed using STATA (version 16.0). Among our participants, male pattern baldness (stage-2) was most common (43.6%), followed by male pattern baldness (stage-3) (18.8%) and female pattern hair loss (FPHL), stage-2 (13.9%). The treatment efficacy was good for 46.5% of patients, medium for another 42.56%, and only 10.9% showed poor efficacy. The oily hair of participants showed a statistically significant negative association with treatment efficacy (P=0.018). The presence of chronic disease and stress among alopecia patients also negatively impacts the treatment process (P<0.05). Smoking among alopecia patients also hampers the treatment process and is significantly associated with poor treatment efficacy. From this study, it is clear that the ongoing treatment has overall excellent efficacy; however, attention should be given to the comorbidities and habits of patients to improve the treatment outcome. The findings of this study would help skin specialists make decisions during alopecia treatment. Asian J. Med. Biol.

A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to November 2022 at the nephrology unit of Azadi Teaching Hospital, Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan. Urine and blood samples were collected from patients diagnosed with APN. These samples were investigated to identify the microbiologic profile of the infecting organisms and determine their antibiotic susceptibility results. From a total of 97 adult and elderly APN patients, 55 (56.7%) were classified as HCA-APN, while 42 (43.3%) were classified as CA-APN. In the univariate analysis, age ≥ 65, catheterization, chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis, diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), neurologic disease, chronic pulmonary disease, PCT level, and ANC were identified as significant risk factors for HCA-APN compared to CA-APN. Patients with catheterization and CVD history showed independent association in the multivariate analysis. The overall mortality rate was 11.3%, which was significantly associated with HCA-APN (P = 0.002). Considering the microbiological profile, Escherichia coli uropathogen (n=61) was the predominant isolated bacteria followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=17). High antibiotic resistance rates were observed in fluoroquinolones and third generation cephalosporin classes among E. coli uropathogen in both CA-APN and HCA-APN patients, with a rate of 74.5 % and 63.9%, respectively. In conclusion, there is an increase in mortality rate regarding HCA-APN. The HCA-APN characteristics should be considered when prescribing empiric antibiotics. In our local setting, carbapenems are effective empiric therapies against enterobacteraceae uropathogens, for both HCA-APN and CA-APN. In order to prevent the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, implementing surveillance systems, infection prevention and control measures, and antimicrobial stewardship programs within our healthcare setting is crucial.
