Nutritional metals (NM) are essential for neurodevelopment and cognitive performance during growth. Nevertheless, epidemiological evidence regarding the associations between NM and brain function remains understudied, particularly among adolescents. Therefore, the objective of this pilot study was to examine the effects of NM biomarkers such as iron (Fe), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), and copper (Cu) on neurobehavioral functions among a group of rural Bangladeshi adolescents.

- The study aimed to differentiate multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) from acute COVID-19 for better clinical management, using data from 6 medical centers between March 2020 and December 2021.
- Out of 10,223 patients with SARS-CoV-2-related illnesses, 53 cases of MIS-A were identified and compared to 106 matched COVID-19 cases, revealing distinct demographic and clinical features.
- Patients with MIS-A were more likely to have specific symptoms such as gastrointestinal issues, higher levels of certain lab markers, and required longer hospital stays and more intensive care treatments than those with acute COVID-19, although the mortality rate was similar at 6%.
Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers had a high workload and were exposed to multiple psychosocial stressors. However, a knowledge gap exists about the levels of burnout among Bangladeshi frontline doctors during this COVID-19 pandemic. The study investigated burnout syndrome (BOS) among frontline doctors in two public secondary and tertiary care hospitals in Chattogram, Bangladesh.

When damaged pulp is recovered and mineralized tissue is formed to protect remaining pulp tissue, the general responses of pulp tissue after adequate stimuli (pulp cell proliferation and activation of alkaline phosphatase [ALPase]) are thought to be essential. In this study, we compared proliferative ability and ALPase activity between cultures of human pulp (HP) cells obtained from young and aged donors.
