Status of Serum Magnesium among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the largest public health issues and the major cause of death worldwide. Due to an increase in the incidence of systemic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, which are the two main causes of CKD and kidney damage, the prevalence of CKD is rising globally. Chronic Kidney Disease results in mineral disorders as well as profound lipid disorders due to improper balancing of the mineral & hormone levels in the body.

Study of Number of Germinal Centers of Vermiform Appendix in Bangladeshi People of Different Age and Sex.

The vermiform appendix is a tubular, blind-ended secondary lymphoid organ located near the caecum, often referred to as the "tonsil of the abdomen" due to the abundance of lymphoid follicles in its histology. The presence of germinal centers, which are indicators of lymphatic tissue response to antigens and subsequent antibody production, helps assess the immune status of individuals. By counting these germinal centers, researchers can evaluate the immune status of the Bangladeshi population across different age and sex groups.

Association of Body Mass Index, Blood Pressure with Fasting Serum Glucose in Female with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Type-2 diabetes mellitus is a global pandemic with immense social, health and financial consequences. The pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes is significantly influenced by overweight and obesity. Type-2 diabetes often goes hand-in-hand with high blood pressure.

Comparison of serum Alanine Aminotransferase and Aspartate Aminotransferase among Obese and Non-obese Adults.

Obesity is a major global health issue and WHO points out that 1 in 3 people globally is clinically obese. Obesity is a condition of having an excessive amount of body fat and is linked with several health disorders that include metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases as well as liver diseases. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are usually used to assess liver function.

Relationship between Cholesterol Level and Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Case-Control Study in Bangladesh.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Genetic factors play an important role in this disease. Among the non-genetic causes cholesterol level is one of the risk factors.

Ecological network assembly: How the regional metaweb influences local food webs.

Local food webs result from a sequence of colonisations and extinctions by species from the regional pool or metaweb, that is, the assembly process. Assembly is theorised to be a selective process: whether or not certain species or network structures can persist is partly determined by local processes including habitat filtering and dynamical constraints. Consequently, local food web structure should reflect these processes.

Macro and mesofauna soil food webs in two temperate grasslands: responses to forestation with .

We studied the effects of land use change from grassland to spp. plantation on macro and mesofauna soil food webs in two sites in the Rolling Pampas. We expected to find differences in the parameters that characterize the structure of soil food webs, as the implantation of implies changes in the characteristics of the resources and the microhabitat conditions.

Effects of macroalgae loss in an Antarctic marine food web: applying extinction thresholds to food web studies.

Antarctica is seriously affected by climate change, particularly at the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) where a rapid regional warming is observed. Potter Cove is a WAP fjord at Shetland Islands that constitutes a biodiversity hotspot where over the last years, Potter Cove annual air temperatures averages increased by 0.66 °C, coastal glaciers declined, and suspended particulate matter increased due to ice melting.

Architecture of marine food webs: To be or not be a 'small-world'.

The search for general properties in network structure has been a central issue for food web studies in recent years. One such property is the small-world topology that combines a high clustering and a small distance between nodes of the network. This property may increase food web resilience but make them more sensitive to the extinction of connected species.

Effects of glyphosate formulations on the population dynamics of two freshwater cladoceran species.

The general objective of this work is to experimentally assess the effects of acute glyphosate pollution on two freshwater cladoceran species (Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia dubia) and to use this information to predict the population dynamics and the potential for recovery of exposed organisms. Five to six concentrations of four formulations of glyphosate (4-Gly) (Eskoba, Panzer Gold, Roundup Ultramax and Sulfosato Touchdown) were evaluated in both cladoceran species through acute tests and 15-day recovery tests in order to estimate the population dynamics of microcrustaceans. The endpoints of the recovery test were: survival, growth (number of molts), fecundity, and the intrinsic population growth rate (r).

Climate change and glacier retreat drive shifts in an Antarctic benthic ecosystem.

The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is one of the three places on Earth that registered the most intense warming in the last 50 years, almost five times the global mean. This warming has strongly affected the cryosphere, causing the largest ice-shelf collapses ever observed and the retreat of 87% of glaciers. Ecosystem responses, although increasingly predicted, have been mainly reported for pelagic systems.

Earthworm assemblages in different intensity of agricultural uses and their relation to edaphic variables.

The objective of this study was to relate earthworm assemblage structure with three different soil use intensities, and to indentify the physical, chemical, and microbiological soil variables that are associated to the observed differences. Three soil uses were evaluated: 1-Fifty year old naturalized grasslands, low use intensity; 2-Recent agricultural fields, intermediate use intensity, and 3-Fifty year old intensive agricultural fields, high use intensity. Three different sites for each soil use were evaluated from winter 2008 through summer 2011.
