Article Synopsis
- * Findings indicated that age (especially those over 60), gender (higher rates in men), and existing health conditions played significant roles in COVID-19 susceptibility, with a notable number of asymptomatic cases and high comorbidity prevalence.
- * The study offers valuable epidemiological insights for public health strategies and future vaccine developments, though it acknowledges limitations such as selection bias due to lockdown restrictions and varied participant characteristics.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared dengue virus cases and mortality between two decades in Bangladesh (2000-2010 vs. 2011-2022) while analyzing meteorological impacts on dengue transmission.
- Over the 23-year period, dengue cases surged eightfold, with a total of 244,246 cases and 849 deaths, though the case-fatality ratio (CFR) declined by one-third.
- Increased annual mean temperature and altered rainfall patterns were linked to a rise in dengue cases, highlighting the significance of climate factors on disease dynamics in the region.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent genetic hereditary cardiomyopathy characterized by sudden cardiac death. Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene are often the most prevalent genetic abnormality in HCM with a prevalence ranging from 20.0 to 42.

The spectrum of ATP7B mutation varies in different populations. The objective of this study was to identify the mutation in exon 8 and exon 14 of ATP7B gene in Bangladeshi children clinically diagnosed as WD.
