January 2025
Background: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is characterized by dyspnoea, reduced exercise capacity and poor health related quality of life (HRQoL). The evidence to support the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on exercise capacity (EC) and HRQoL in this population is still limited. We aimed to determine the effect of the different PR components on exercise capacity and HRQoL in patients with ILD.

- - The study aimed to identify risk factors for cutaneous anthrax infection in humans, analyzing data from 26 anthrax outbreaks in Bangladesh between 2013 and 2016, involving 1,210 suspected cases.
- - Key findings indicated that individuals aged 40-49 and those with specific exposures, such as having cut injuries or handling raw meat, had significantly higher odds of infection, with the most cases reported in Meherpur district.
- - The conclusion emphasized the need to prevent the slaughter of sick animals and improve hygiene practices, although challenges remain due to economic factors associated with livestock handling in Bangladesh.
Background: Frontonasal dysplasia type-2(FND2), a rare phenotypically variable and heterogeneous developmental anomaly resulting from mutation of the ALX4 gene, is primarily characterized by malformation of the skull and facial skeleton. This study was designed to showcase a clinical, imaging, and genetic analysis of FND2 in a consanguineous family of Bangladeshi origin.
Methodology: Clinical imaging and whole genome sequencing of mother, father and patient was done by using Nextera DNA flex library preparation kit (Illumina, USA) using Novaseq 6000 next generation sequencer to find out ALX4 mutation which causes FND2 in patient.
Background: Enhancing outcomes post-hospitalisation requires an understanding of predictive factors for adverse events. This study aimed to estimate post-discharge mortality rates among patients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in Bangladesh, identify associated factors, and document reported causes of death.
Methods: From January 2012 to December 2019, we conducted follow-up calls to patients or their families 30 days after discharge to assess the status of patients with SARI.
Background: Evaluating outcomes of concurrent Cox-Maze procedures in elderly patients undergoing high-risk cardiac surgery.
Mehods: We retrospectively identified patients aged over 70 years with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) from 2011 to 2017 who had two or more other cardiac procedures. They were subdivided into two groups: 1.
