Calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum via sperm-derived phospholipase C zeta is crucial for oocyte activation during fertilization. Chloroquine (CQ) inhibits the increase in cytoplasmic calcium. This study investigated the effects of CQ on fertilization and oocyte activation.

Risk assessment of antibiotic residues in raw cow's milk in Bangladesh.
Food Addit Contam Part B Surveill
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the presence of antibiotic residues in milk from five farms in Keraniganj, Dhaka, focusing on commonly used antibiotics like oxytetracycline and fluoroquinolones.
- Using a reliable RP-HPLC method, the study found that oxytetracycline was present in 90% of milk samples, with levofloxacin (66%), enrofloxacin (64%), and ciprofloxacin (62%) also detected.
- While 30% of oxytetracycline-positive samples exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRL), no samples exceeded the MRL for the other antibiotics, indicating low human health risks, though children might be more vulnerable to prolonged
Background: Plastic pollution has reached an alarming magnitude, defining the contemporary era as the "Plastic Age." Uncontrolled plastic production and inadequate recycling processes have led to widespread contamination of the environment with micro and nanoplastics.
Objective: The study aims to assess the environmental and human health consequences of exposure to microplastic particles (MPs) and their additives among plastic recycling workers in Dhaka.
Article Synopsis
- Acute arboviral infections, especially dengue, affect millions in tropical regions, with Asia being the most impacted; Bangladesh faced a major outbreak in 2019, prompting an extensive study in Dhaka.
- The study, conducted across three medical centers, involved nearly 2000 participants to explore clinical variations in severe dengue and to identify serotypes, enhancing understanding of the virus's behavior.
- Results indicated that severe cases were predominantly in younger males, with digestive symptoms more common in severe cases, while a small percentage of patients experienced fatal outcomes, highlighting the serious health and socioeconomic burden of dengue.
