Polymorphisms of the interleukin-6 () gene contribute to cervical cancer susceptibility in Bangladeshi women: A case-control study.

Background And Aims: Cervical cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth in the lining of cervix and it is the second major cause of cancer-related deaths among females in Bangladesh. Interleukin-6 () is a multifunctional cytokine that has been heavily linked with cervical cancer. Our aim was to investigate the association of two promoter single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of (rs1800795 and rs1800797) with the susceptibility of cervical cancer in Bangladeshi women.

Microbial sensitivity of the common pathogens for UTIs are declining in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients in Bangladesh: An institution-based retrospective study.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most recurrent infections in the community and healthcare settings. Although many studies related with microbial sensitivity (MS) of uropathogens (UPs) to antibiotics have been done in Bangladesh, no conclusive study has compared antibiotic sensitivity (AS) to UPs in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The aim of the study is to find out whether there is a difference in AS in common UPs between diabetic and non-diabetic UTI patients.
