The presence of germinal centers, which are indicators of lymphatic tissue response to antigens and subsequent antibody production, helps assess the immune status of individuals. By counting these germinal centers, researchers can evaluate the immune status of the Bangladeshi population across different age and sex groups. This study was conducted at Mymensingh Medical College, approximately 120 km north of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Samples were randomly selected from the local population between 2016 and 2017, including 40 vermiform appendices from various age groups: Group A (up to 20 years), Group B (21-40 years), Group C (41-60 years) and Group D (over 60 years). After obtaining ethical approval, the germinal centers, identified by their lighter staining in the center of lymphoid follicles, were counted under a microscope (X4 objective, X10 eyepiece). The average number of germinal centers per age group was then calculated. The study found that the mean±SD number of germinal centers was 3.20±1.66, 2.40±0.66, 1.50±1.11 and 0.30±0.45 across the advancing age groups. The mean differences of number of germinal center between A&B, B&C were statistically non significant at p= or >0.05 level, difference between group C&D, A&C was statistically significant at p<0.05 level and differences between group B&D, A&D were statistically highly significant at p<0.001 level. Mean±SD number of germinal center of vermiform appendix in male was higher (3.60±1.02, 2.42±0.49, 1.50±1.26 and 0.33±0.47 in Group A, B, C and D respectively) than in female (2.80±1.17, 2.33±0.94, 1.30±0.87 and 0.25±0.43 in Group A, B, C and D respectively) but mean difference between sexes in the different groups was statistically non significant at p=or >0.05 level. Overall, the study observed a gradual decline in the number of germinal centers with increasing age.","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"33 4","pages":"1245-1249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142335458","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 study involved 50 participants diagnosed with NAFLD and 50 healthy controls. Blood samples were collected to measure vitamin A, C and E levels, along with other parameters like insulin, inflammatory markers, and liver function tests. Additionally, participants underwent DEXA scans to assess BMD and body composition. Vitamin levels: The study found no significant deficiencies in vitamin A or C levels in either group. However, vitamin E levels were significantly higher in the NAFLD group compared to controls, although only one case of vitamin E deficiency was observed in the NAFLD group. No significant correlations were found between vitamin levels and BMD, adiposity parameters, insulin resistance, or subclinical inflammation markers in either group. The study acknowledges the limited data available on the association between NAFLD, vitamin levels and BMD in the Asian Indian population. The findings regarding vitamin A and C levels are consistent with some previous studies, whereas the higher vitamin E levels in the NAFLD group contradict other research. This discrepancy might be due to factors like sample size, dietary habits, or vitamin fortification programs. The lack of significant correlations between vitamin levels and other parameters suggests that further research is needed to understand the complex interplay between these factors in NAFLD development and progression.","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"33 4","pages":"1267-1272"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142335462","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}

Despite global enthusiasm, there is a critical gap in exploring the acceptance and awareness of these AI tools among doctors in Bangladesh. This investigation becomes crucial as it navigates the challenges faced by physicians in middle-income countries like Bangladesh, providing a foundation for future implementations and advancements in AI-assisted healthcare. Therefore, this study aims to explore the acceptance and awareness of GPT-based AI for clinical practice among doctors in Bangladesh. In this study, we looked at 398 registered physicians in Bangladesh. The research used a convenient sampling method and employed a questionnaire to collect information. The size of the sample was chosen using a calculation for a 95% confidence level. Statistical analysis included looking at combined data, calculating frequencies and percentages well, and using the Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression bivariate and multivariate analysis was done. All statistical analysis was done using Stata 17 software. This study examines GPT-based AI acceptance and awareness among Bangladeshi physicians. Key findings reveal a prevalence of 26.13% for acceptance and 71.11% for awareness. Acceptance significantly varies with age (p=0.013), preferring those aged 21-30. Gender (p=0.001) influences awareness, showing in females. Physicians aged 41-50 exhibit lower acceptance odds (AOR=0.13), and females have decreased acceptance odds (AOR=0.29). Demographics don't significantly impact awareness. This study sheds light on Bangladeshi doctors' views on GPT-based AI in healthcare. While some actively support its use, a majority are aware. Age, gender, and workplace influence acceptance. Tailored strategies are vital for addressing concerns. Future research should focus on understanding physicians' adoption of GPT-based AI.","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"33 4","pages":"1219-1229"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142335438","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}

This prospective observational study was carried out in National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh from February 2019 to January 2020, to evaluate the use of the pedicled paraumbilical perforator flaps as a reliable flap to cover such defects. Total 34 patients having soft tissue defects in the hand and forearm with exposed tendons, bones or implant were included in this study. All the defects were covered by paraumbilical perforator flap. The defects were caused by road traffic accident (n=22), machinery injury (n=10) and burn injury (n=2). Sixteen patients had defects involving the forearm, six over dorsum of hand, another two over first web space and the rest had defects over two or more areas of forearm, hand and wrist. Lateral extent of flaps was upto anterior axillary line in 41.18% cases and upto mid-axillary line in 55.88% cases. Flap division and final inset was done in second stage after 3 weeks. Donor site closed primarily in all cases, except in two cases where it was covered by skin graft. All the flaps survived with no incidence of flap necrosis, dehiscence or infection after first stage. However, after the division of the flap, two patients developed marginal necrosis of the proximal margin which healed spontaneously by conservative treatment. The mean flap surface area utilized was 108 cm2. Donor area healed well without any major complications. Three patients developing scar hypertrophy were treated with intra-lesional triamcinolone injections. The paraumbilical perforator flap is a reliable option to cover soft tissue defects of hand and forearm due to easier planning and harvesting of the flap, adequate skin paddle and minimum donor site morbidity.","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"33 3","pages":"772-776"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141474067","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}

It lies between the greater and lesser tubercles. The variations of this groove may lead to various pathologies of the biceps brachii tendon, one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. Hence, this study examines the various osteometric parameters of bicipital groove in the Bangladeshi population. This cross-sectional descriptive study was done on 100 dry adult human cadaveric humeri (43 right sides and 57 left sides) in the Department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from July 2021 to June 2022. The length, maximum width and depth of the bicipital groove and the length of this groove's medial and lateral walls were measured using a digital Vernier slide caliper. Data were recorded in a predesigned data sheet separately and analyzed statistically using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. According to the present study, the mean±SD length of the bicipital groove of the right humeri was 66.646±11.563mm and the left humeri were 66.002±13.025mm. The mean±SD maximum width of the bicipital groove of the right humeri was 10.870±1.799mm and the left humeri were 11.480±1.402mm.

Data was collected from the patients using the structured design by interview, observation, clinical examination and haematological investigations. The serum homocysteine level of these patients and birth weight of their babies was measured immediately after delivery. Negative correlation was found between maternal serum homocysteine level and neonatal birth weight, (r = -0.419, p<0.05).
