Automated estimation of cementitious sorptivity via computer vision.

Monitoring water uptake in cementitious systems is crucial to assess their durability against corrosion, salt attack, and freeze-thaw damage. However, gauging absorption currently relies on labor-intensive and infrequent weight measurements, as outlined in ASTM C1585. To address this issue, we introduce a custom computer vision model trained on 6234 images, consisting of 4000 real and 2234 synthetic, that automatically detects the water level in prismatic samples absorbing water.

Incidence of postpartum depression among women with postpartum haemorrhage in Kano, northern Nigeria.

The burden of postpartum depression (PPD), an important but largely neglected cause of maternal morbidity, is often increased by the presence of common co-morbidities, such as postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). Additionally, stress and the absence of social support can amplify PPD risk. Understanding the relationship between these conditions will help identify at-risk women and allow prompt intervention.

Development of an in-situ forming collagen-based hydrogel as a regenerative bioadhesive for corneal perforations.

Corneal injuries play a significant role in global visual impairment, underscoring the demand for innovative biomaterials with specific attributes such as adhesion, cohesion, and regenerative potential. In this study, we have developed a biocompatible bioadhesive for corneal reconstruction. Derived from Collagen type I, naturally present in human corneal stromal tissue, the bioadhesive was cross-linked with modified polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA-DOPA), rendering it curable through visible light exposure and exhibiting superior adhesion to biological tissues even in wet conditions.

Trends and inequalities in neonatal mortality rate in Bangladesh: Evidence from cross-sectional surveys.

Background And Aims: Given the significance of addressing neonatal mortality in pursuing the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal on child health, research focus on this area is crucial. Despite the persistent high rates of neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in Bangladesh, there remains a notable lack of robust evidence addressing inequalities in NMR in the country. Therefore, this study aims to fill the knowledge gap by comprehensively investigating inequalities in NMR in Bangladesh.

Distribution and Characteristics of Congenital Cardiac Surgery Centers within Bangladesh.

This is especially true in nations with limited resources where shortages of skilled workforce, healthcare facilities, and essential equipment limit the ability to provide care. This retrospective study was designed to determine the volume and distribution of surgical care being provided to patients with congenital heart disease in Bangladesh, as well as to characterize the facilities providing such care.

Surface topography, structural, optical and dc electrical behaviors of pristine and Co-doped ZnS thin films.

The prime goal of the present research is to synthesize pristine zinc sulfide (PZS) and cobalt (Co)-doped zinc sulfide (CDZS) thin films with different doping concentrations (DC) via chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The effect of Co-doping on the surface topography, structural, optical and dc-electrical behaviors of PZS thin films has been ascertained. Scanning electron microscopy images exhibited nearly sphere-shaped agglomerates of grains dispersed throughout the surface with cracks in PZS thin film whereas cracks were absent in CDZS.

Factors associated with the intention of telehealth service utilization among Bangladeshi people: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Telehealth is comprised of telecommunications and electronic information systems to support and maintain long-distance healthcare services. Although it has not been thoroughly explored, the intention of using the service among the general public is critical to its success. We investigated the factors associated with the intention to utilize telehealth services among the general population of Bangladesh.

Recycled Household Ash in Rice Paddies of Bangladesh for Sustainable Production of Rice Without Altering Grain Arsenic and Cadmium.

Unlabelled: In Bangladesh most agronomic biomass (straw, husk, dried dung) is burnt for domestic cooking use. Consequently, the soil is continuously stripped of mineral nutrients and carbon (C) substrate. Here we investigate if recycling of household ash (ash) as fertilizer can sustainably improve soil fertility as well as minimise accumulation of toxic elements (As, Cd) in rice grain.

Impact of maternal depression on malnutrition treatment outcomes in older children with sickle cell anemia.

Background: Malnutrition and sickle cell anemia (SCA) result in high childhood mortality rates. Although maternal depression is an established risk factor for malnutrition in younger children, little is known about its impact on treatment response in children with malnutrition. We aimed to determine the relationship, if any, between maternal depression scores and malnutrition treatment outcomes in older children with SCA.

Recent advances in soluble decellularized extracellular matrix for heart tissue engineering and organ modeling.

Despite the advent of tissue engineering (TE) for the remodeling, restoring, and replacing damaged cardiovascular tissues, the progress is hindered by the optimal mechanical and chemical properties required to induce cardiac tissue-specific cellular behaviors including migration, adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of numerous structural and functional molecules and tissue-specific cells, therefore it plays an important role in stimulating cell proliferation and differentiation, guiding cell migration, and activating regulatory signaling pathways. With the improvement and modification of cell removal methods, decellularized ECM (dECM) preserves biochemical complexity, and bio-inductive properties of the native matrix and improves the process of generating functional tissue.
