Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of meningitis in child mortality under five years old, particularly focusing on data from six sub-Saharan African countries and Bangladesh.
- It employs post-mortem minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) to identify the causes of death and pathogens responsible for meningitis in this age group from December 2016 to December 2023.
- Findings reveal that meningitis contributed to 7% of child deaths, with common pathogens identified being Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae, particularly affecting neonates and infants.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the duration of immune responses, specifically antibody levels and memory B cells, following various severities of SARS-CoV-2 infections in patients from Bangladesh over a six-month period.
- Findings reveal that patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 maintained higher levels of IgG antibodies for up to six months, while those with mild or asymptomatic cases saw a decline after three months.
- Additionally, the research highlights that all symptomatic patients developed specific memory B cells and increased T helper cell responses, contrasting with asymptomatic individuals who showed negligible immune response changes.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a protean disease causing different degrees of clinical severity including fatality. In addition to humoral immunity, antigen-specific T cells may play a critical role in defining the protective immune response against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes this disease. As a part of a longitudinal cohort study in Bangladesh to investigate B and T cell-specific immune responses, we sought to evaluate the activation-induced marker (AIM) and the status of different immune cell subsets during a COVID-19 infection.

Objectives: Bangladesh reports one of the highest rates of child marriage (CM) (59%) in the world and the highest rate within South Asia. Age at marriage of girls is a critical human rights and developmental issue in Bangladesh. Migration has been documented to be positively associated with age at marriage.

The ongoing pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a public health crisis of global concern. The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic has been monitored in the first place by testing symptomatic individuals for SARS-CoV-2 virus in the respiratory samples. Concurrently, wastewater carries feces, urine, and sputum that potentially contains SARS-CoV-2 intact virus or partially damaged viral genetic materials excreted by infected individuals.

Background: Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) is a water-soluble fiber if added to oral rehydration solution (ORS) and undergoes fermentation in the colon liberating short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs potentiate the effect of ORS, reducing the severity of diarrhea.
Aim: To examine the effect of PHGG-added ORS in reducing the stool output and duration of diarrhea in adult cholera.
