To obtain information on the cultivation of tuberoses in Bangladesh's Jashore district, a study has been carried out to evaluate the economic and social standing of cultivators and examine the methods employed in production and farmers' attitudes towards field disease. The majority of surveyed farmers were men, aged between 30 and 40 years. Only 7.41% had a high level of education, and most had less than five years of experience in tuberose cultivation. On an annual basis, the total production cost amounted to Tk. 27,200 (bigha/year), yielding a net profit of Tk. 1,20,000 (bigha/year). 31.48% of farmers expressed the belief that diseases affecting tuberose originated from contaminated planting materials. A significant proportion (64.81%) of farmers used PGR to combat diseases affecting tuberose production. Government Agriculture Officers played a crucial role in assisting farmers with knowledge and guidance. Yet, most participants highlighted that the key to preventing diseases lies in the effective application of pesticides. The findings of this study can guide policymakers in implementing measures to enhance tuberose production and fortify the floriculture industry in Bangladesh.

Question: Is electrical stimulation (ES) combined with strength training and usual care more effective than usual care alone in increasing the strength of very weak muscles in people with recent spinal cord injury (SCI)?
Design: A randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, intention-to-treat analysis and blinded outcome assessors.
Participants: Sixty participants with recent SCI were recruited from three SCI units in Australia and Bangladesh.
Interventions: Participants were randomised to either a treatment or control group.
Arsenotrophic Achromobacter aegrifaciens strains isolated from arsenic contaminated tubewell water and soil sources shared similar genomic potentials.

Article Synopsis
- Arsenic contamination is a significant public health issue globally, and bacteria like Achromobacter aegrifaciens can help mitigate this by converting toxic arsenite (AsIII) into less harmful arsenate (AsV).
- Researchers analyzed two A. aegrifaciens strains from arsenic-laden water and soil in Bangladesh using whole genome sequencing and found that both strains exhibit arsenic oxidation capabilities and share similar gene clusters for arsenic detoxification and heavy metal resistance.
- The genomic analyses revealed that these strains, while distinct from other strains globally, show close evolutionary relationships with each other, indicating their potential in bioremediation efforts in arsenic-contaminated areas.

Background: Post-COVID-19 conditions (PCCs), also known as long COVID, is persistently debilitating disorders that need investigation on their incidence, morbidity, and case-fatality rate.
Purpose: The objectives of this cohort study were to determine the incidence, characteristics, case-fatality, morbidity, and recovery of post-COVID-19 symptoms throughout a two-year period of observation.
Methods: This was a population-based cohort study of post-COVID-19 cases among 12,925 SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals in eight administrative districts of Bangladesh between July and December 2021-2023.
