Knowledge attitude and convenience on self-medication practices among university students in Bangladesh exploration using structural equation modeling approach.

Self-medication is a prevalent practice among university students globally and is a significant public health concern. However, previous research has been limited in scope, focusing primarily on adolescents or the general public, leaving a gap in understanding the causal relationships associated with self-medication; thus, this study aimed to investigate the factors influencing self-medication practices among university students in Bangladesh by developing a comprehensive causal model. Data from 417 students across five public universities were collected using the simple random walk technique by a team of 10 members.

Role of Biobran (Arabinoxylan Rice Bran) on Patients with Advanced Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background And Objectives: Carcinoma of liver - renowned, has taken third position in world ranking, comparing to other causes for cancer-related death, however, curative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is largely absent and even proper management of HCC patients is extremely difficult. The situation becomes more complex when HCC patients are attended by physicians in their terminal state. Arabinoxylan rice bran (biobran) is an inherent product and hemicellulose which is denatured, as well as gained by hemicellulose including a number of hydrolyzing enzymes of carbohydrate from Shiitake mushrooms.

Genome-wide identification, classification, and characterization of lectin gene superfamily in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.).

Lectins are sugar-binding proteins found abundantly in plants. Lectin superfamily members have diverse roles, including plant growth, development, cellular processes, stress responses, and defense against microbes. However, the genome-wide identification and functional analysis of lectin genes in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.

Side effects of COVID-19 vaccines and perceptions about COVID-19 and its vaccines in Bangladesh: A Cross-sectional study.

Association of Household Food Insecurity with Nutritional Status and Mental Health of Pregnant Women in Rural Bangladesh.

Food insecurity may affect women's health; however, pertinent research is scant among pregnant women. This study investigated the association of household food insecurity (HFI) with the nutritional status and mental health of 672 early-gestation (5-16 weeks) pregnant women with a singleton fetus, who participated in the screening activity of a community-based trial (NCT04868669) in Matlab, Bangladesh. Height (cm), weight (kg), body mass index (kg/m), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) (cm), depression, anxiety, and stress were the outcomes studied.

Acid-treated Fe-doped TiO as a high performance photocatalyst used for degradation of phenol under visible light irradiation.

The photocatalytic activity of Fe-doped TiO nanoparticles is significantly increased by an acid-treatment process. The photocatalyst nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method with 0.5 mol% ratio of Fe:Ti in acidic pH of 3.
