Lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) plasma levels is crucial for the prevention of primary and secondary cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Many patients struggle to obtain goal LDL-C levels, despite the availability of several lipid-lowering medications, because of limited efficaciousness and unfavorable side effects. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) targeting has drawn interest recently as a novel approach to further lower cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Over 3.5 billion people rely on rice for a significant portion of their daily calories, with Bangladesh being the third largest producer and a top consumer, affecting both local food security and the global rice market.
  • A survey of weed management practices among 865 farmers in Bangladesh's 30 agroecological zones revealed that 82% use herbicides, primarily pre-emergence types, despite a lack of understanding about their proper application and potential hazards.
  • Many farmers believe herbicides enhance yields despite observing issues like early seedling growth suppression and the presence of tough-to-control weed species, raising concerns about reliance on chemical weed management.

The dawn of MXenes has fascinated researchers under their intriguing physicochemical attributes that govern their energy and environmental applications. Modifications in the physicochemical properties of MXenes pave the way for efficient energy-driven operations such as carbon capture and hydrogen generation. The physicochemical modulations such as interface engineering through van der Waals coupling with homo/hetero-junctions render the tunability of optoelectronic variables driving the photochemical and electrochemical processes.

Background: Maternal health, in terms of pregnancy and childbirth, is an important aspect of women's reproductive health and remains a public health concern in underdeveloped countries of the world. Reproductive health care seeking behavior (RHSB), in both men and women in society, is influenced by a variety of social and environmental factors that needs to be summarized.

Objectives: This review aims to enhance understanding and perception of services in relation to RHSBs in several domains such as antenatal care (ANC), delivery care, postnatal care (PNC), and family planning (FP) services, for married women of reproductive age in Bangladesh.
