Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health issue, and this study explored the link between the TyG index and various heart-related risks in non-diabetic patients in the U.S.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 10,000 participants from the NHANES survey (2001-2020) to assess how the TyG index relates to conditions like coronary heart disease, heart attacks, and hypertension.
- While a higher TyG index was associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, it was found to be a poor predictor of actual cardiovascular diseases in the studied population.
We report the near coding-complete genomes of 12 DENV serotype 2 strains collected during the 2023 dengue outbreak in Bangladesh. Analyses showed that all 12 strains were closely related and belonged to genotype II-Cosmopolitan.

- - The study presents the complete genome sequences of 14 Omicron sub-lineage JN.1 strains associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus found in Bangladesh.
- - The samples were collected from individuals between December 19, 2023, and January 21, 2024.
- - Genome sequencing was conducted using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technology, specifically the amplicon sequencing method devised by the ARTIC network.
Article Synopsis
- Asthma is a common respiratory condition in the U.S., impacting 8.7% of the population, with significant implications for public health and policy decisions.
- The study analyzed data from 64,222 participants (20 years and older) and found notable risk factors, including higher prevalence among females, individuals aged 60 and older, and non-Hispanic whites.
- Key risk factors associated with asthma include being female, having low income, being obese, and smoking, suggesting that public health efforts should focus on these areas for better prevention and management.
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is an importance preventable problem in the global and associates with lack levels of awareness about vitamin D. According to prior studies, in the Arab world, there is low of knowledge and awareness toward vitamin D deficiency. The target of our study is evaluating the knowledge level about vitamin D deficiency and determining the associated factors with levels of awareness of its.
