In most of the cases, the cause of prematurity remains unidentified. There is still ongoing debate about whether abnormal maternal thyroid function during pregnancy contributes to a higher risk of preterm birth. This study aimed to examine the relationship between hypothyroidism, the presence of anti-thyroid antibodies and preterm delivery. This cross-sectional analytic study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Bangladesh from June 2022 to May 2023. Two hundred patients were enrolled in this study obeying exclusion and inclusion criteria. Purposive sampling method was used for the selection of respondent. Both preterm and term labor was diagnosed clinically. Gestational age was established based on LMP and early dated ultrasonography. Estimation of maternal thyroid stimulating hormone (Serum TSH) was done by Immuno-radiometric assay and anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (Anti-TPO) by Siemens ADVIA Centaur XPT Chemiluminescence Immunoassay methods. Relevant data was collected in a predesigned questionnaire. Among women who experienced preterm delivery, 27.0% were found to have hypothyroidism, whereas only 12.0% of those who delivered at term had this condition. Anti-TPO antibody positivity was observed in 16.0% of the preterm group compared with 7.0% of the term delivery group. Both the prevalence of hypothyroidism and anti-TPO antibody positivity were significantly higher in the preterm delivery group, with the differences reaching statistical significance (p<0.05). But this significant association was with very early preterm group not with moderate preterm delivery. Hypothyroidism had effect on preterm delivery rates, but had significant association with very early preterm delivery. The existence of anti-TPO antibodies in the serum had a significant increasing effect on preterm deliveries and could be regarded as risk factor.</p>","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"35 4","pages":"1001-1008"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149083432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly impact in middle- and low-income countries, NCDs is responsible for 74.0% of global deaths, with South Asia, including Bangladesh, experiencing a mortality rate of 77.0%. Amidst an epidemiological transition, Bangladesh is witnessing a shift from infectious to chronic diseases. This study aims to explore the burden of NCDs in a tertiary care setting, offering insights to inform public health interventions and policies. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, involving 6698 patients admitted in 2022 (1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022). Data were collected retrospectively from medical records, focusing on patients above 14 years with NCDs. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 24.0. Among 6698 admissions, 42.05% were attributed to NCDs. Females exhibited a higher prevalence (56.37%) than males (43.63%). The age group 41-60 years demonstrated the highest NCD prevalence (37.20%). Major NCDs included hypertension (33.22%), diabetes (25.34%), stroke (17.85%) and cardiovascular diseases (12.14%). NCDs contributed to 88.41% of 164 total deaths, with cardiovascular diseases, stroke, chronic respiratory diseases and malignancies as primary causes. In brief, this study sheds light on the critical challenge posed by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Bangladesh. With a significant proportion of hospital admissions attributed to NCDs, urgent and targeted interventions are warranted. The observed prominence of NCDs and tha alarming rate of attributed deaths necessitates a shift in healthcare focus. This study's findings emphasize the imperative for innovative approaches, increased resource allocation and heightened awareness campaigns to effectively address the escalating impact of NCDs on both individuals and communities.</p>","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"35 4","pages":"1099-1106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149083480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinical data of 30 pregnant women with PH who were admitted to the department of cardiology, Bangladesh Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected and descriptively analyzed.

In this study, antimicrobial activities of aqueous seeds extracts of Brassica nigra were tested against S. aureus, E. coli & P. aeruginosa by using disc diffusion method and MIC determination by broth dilution method. The extract was prepared by using aqueous solvent. The tested microorganisms were also tested for their activity against a standard antibiotic Gentamicin. Aqueous Black mustard seeds (ABMSE) were used initially in eight different concentrations (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000μg/ml) and later in selected concentrations as needed to confirm the more precise margin of antimicrobial sensitivity of the extracts.
