Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to desogestrel intake in a young lady: A case report.

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is a subtype of venous thromboembolism, which occurs in the dural venous sinuses. Blockage of the venous drainage of the brain leads to the development of hemorrhages. Strokes can hence develop in any individual, irrespective of age or sex.

Identification of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and virulence genes in isolates from food samples in the Dhaka University campus of Bangladesh.

The presence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens in food is a serious public health concern nowadays. This study focuses on the isolation and characterization of potentially pathogenic and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens in chicken curry and potato smash samples collected from the canteens and cafeteria of Dhaka University in Bangladesh. Isolates were identified by their cultural, morphological, and biochemical tests (motility indole urease test, Kliger's iron agar test, catalase test, oxidase test, methyl red and Voges-Proskauer tests).

A tale of two in stent restenosis in same patient: Surprising findings from optical coherence tomography.

Key Clinical Message: The morphology of in-stent restenosis (ISR) in drug eluting stents varies greatly from that of bare metal stents. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a useful aid for identifying the nature of ISR and planning the treatment accordingly, which may be by intravascular lithotripsy, cutting balloon or Rotablator, which can be used upfront if OCT shows calcified neoatherosclerosis.

Abstract: Restenosis is the decrease in the diameter of the vessel lumen after the performance of percutaneous intervention (PCI), which may or may not involve the implantation of a stent.

Comparative evaluation of ethyl acetate and n-Hexane extracts of L. leaves for muscle function restoration after peripheral nerve lesion.

Peripheral nerve injuries are one of those complex medical conditions for which a highly effective first-line treatment is currently missing. The use of natural compound as medicines to treat various disorders has a long history. Our previous research explored that crude L.

Valorization of mustard and sesame oilseed cakes for food application through eco-innovative technologies.

Agricultural waste valorization is currently getting attention across the world owing to its environmental impact and rich phytochemistry. The mandate of the current investigation was the extraction and characterization of bioactive moieties from the mustard oilseed cake/meal MOC and sesame oilseed cake/meal SOC through ultrasound extraction (UE) techniques due to its higher yield and less burden on the environment as compared to conventional extraction (CE). Purposely, the MOC and SOC were initially subjected to compositional analysis.

Assessment of nutrient adequacy and associated factors among lactating women of rural Bangladesh using observed intake: Findings from Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey 2018-2019.

Lactating women of low- and middle-income countries are prone to develop deficiencies in essential nutrients due to various demographic and socioeconomic components. This study aimed to estimate the adequacy of dietary intake and the determinants of diet quality of lactating women in rural Bangladesh. One-day dietary recall (24-Hour recall) data of 973 lactating women were obtained from the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS) 2018-2019.

Therapeutic application of carvacrol: A comprehensive review.

Carvacrol is a major natural constituent and is significantly present as an essential oil in aromatic plants and is well known for its numerous biological activities. Therapeutic properties of carvacrol have been demonstrated as anti-oxidant, anticancer, diabetes prevention, cardioprotective, anti-obesity, hepatoprotective and reproductive role, antiaging, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties. The carvacrol biosynthesis has been mediated through mevalonate pathway.

Effect of stevia leaves ( Bertoni) on diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies.

Stevia ( Bertoni) is a natural herb with biological activities such as anticancer, antidiabetic, anticardiovascular disease, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial. The current systematic review and meta-analysis of previously published data were performed to assess the antidiabetic effect of stevia leaves. Three electronic databases (PubMed, CENTRAL, and DOAJ) had been used for searching articles published before September 2020.

Myricetin: A comprehensive review on its biological potentials.

Myricetin is a critical nutritive component of diet providing immunological protection and beneficial for maintaining good health. It is found in fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine. The families , , , and are the richest sources of myricetin.

(leaves) supplementation exerts curative effects on promoting functional recovery in a mouse model of peripheral nerve injury.

Peripheral nerve injuries are among those complicated medical conditions, which are still waiting for their highly effective first-line therapies. In this study, the role of crude leaves was evaluated at different doses for their effectiveness in improving functional recovery following sciatic nerve injury-induced in the mouse model. Thirty-two healthy albino mice were divided into four groups as Normal chow group (control,  = 8) and chow groups (50 mg/kg ( = 8), 100 mg/kg ( = 8) and 200 mg/kg ( = 8)).

Therapeutic perspective of thymoquinone: A mechanistic treatise.

The higher utilization of fruits and vegetables is well known to cure human maladies due to the presence of bioactive components. Among these compounds, thymoquinone, a monoterpene and significant constituent in the essential oil of ., has attained attention by the researchers due to their pharmacologies perspectives such as prevention from cancer, antidiabetic and antiobesity, prevention from oxidative stress and cardioprotective disorder.

Methanolic extract of Fennel () escalates functional restoration following a compression injury to the sciatic nerve in a mouse model.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is one of the major health concerns faced by the community at present. Till now, available therapeutic approaches are ineffective to fully heal a nerve injury and to assure the functional recovery entirely. Natural compounds can prove attractive and effective drug candidates to bridge up this gap.

Change in nutritional status among women of childbearing age in India (1998-2016).

Introduction: In absolute numbers, India has more undernourished people than all the countries in sub-Saharan Africa combined. In parallel with the high rates of hunger and undernutrition, the country has been undergoing rapid demographic and dietary transition marked by an increased prevalence of overweight/obesity, particularly among women.

Objective: To measure the changing prevalence of overnutrition during last two decades, as well as to identify the associated sociodemographic correlates among pregnant and non-pregnant women in India.

Trend in overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age in Uganda: 1995-2016.

Unlabelled: Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are experiencing rising burdens of overweight/obesity and associated non-communicable diseases. As in other developing regions, this epidemiological transition in African countries is believed to be resulting from changes in dietary, sociodemographic structure and lifestyle factors. To date, not much is known about the prevalence and sociodemographic patterns of overweight/obesity in Uganda, especially among women of reproductive age.

Household wealth status and overweight and obesity among adult women in Bangladesh and Nepal.

Background: In South Asia, women were reported to be more likely to have higher normal body weight. However, nationally representative evidence on the association between socioeconomic status and body weight in terms of regional cut-offs for body mass index is limited for South Asian women. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating the association between household wealth status and overweight and obesity among adult women in Bangladesh and Nepal.
