A quantile regression approach to identify risk factors for high blood glucose levels among Bangladeshi individuals.

Background And Aims: Diabetes mellitus, characterized by high blood glucose, is an overwhelming public health concern globally, including in Bangladesh. The implication of this trend may pose a significant challenge to the health systems due to the lack of awareness and improper management of this chronic disease. To formulate strategies for public health planning, this study aims to explore the potential risk factors for elevated blood glucose levels among Bangladeshi individuals using advanced statistical methods and a nationally representative data set.

Newly designed analogues from SARS-CoV inhibitors mimicking the druggable properties against SARS-CoV-2 and its novel variants.

The emerging variants of SARS coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been continuously spreading all over the world and have raised global health concerns. The B.1.

Whole genome sequencing for revealing the point mutations of SARS-CoV-2 genome in Bangladeshi isolates and their structural effects on viral proteins.

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has already killed more than one million people worldwide. Since novel coronavirus is a new virus, mining its genome sequence is of crucial importance for drug/vaccine(s) development. Whole genome sequencing is a helpful tool in identifying genetic changes that occur in a virus when it spreads through the population.

Quality of life among Bangladeshi Youth during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic: A single-site survey.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological, mental health and quality of life among Bangladeshi residents.

Study Design: A purposive cross-sectional study of quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic was performed.

Methods: Respondents completed a modified questionnaire that determined the Impact of Event Scale (IES), indicators of psychological distress impact, impact on government strategies, awareness and lifestyles, and impact on expectation of quality life change.

Improving the optical and thermoelectric properties of CsInAgCl with heavy substitutional doping: a DFT insight.

The next-generation indium-based lead-free halide material CsInAgCl is promising for photovoltaic applications due to its good air stability and non-toxic behavior. However, its wide bandgap (>3 eV) is not suitable for the solar spectrum and hence reduces its photoelectronic efficiency for device applications. Here we report a significant bandgap reduction from 2.

Revisiting pharmacological potentials of Nigella sativa seed: A promising option for COVID-19 prevention and cure.

Nigella sativa seed and its active compounds have been historically recognized as an effective herbal panacea that can establish a balanced inflammatory response by suppressing chronic inflammation and promoting healthy immune response. The essential oil and other preparations of N. sativa seed have substantial therapeutic outcomes against immune disturbance, autophagy dysfunction, oxidative stress, ischemia, inflammation, in several COVID-19 comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, Kawasaki-like diseases, and many bacterial and viral infections.

Electrochemical oxidation of As(iii) on Pd immobilized Pt surface: kinetics and sensing performance.

Pd nanoparticles were electrochemically immobilized on a Pt surface in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) molecules to study the electrokinetics of arsenite oxidation reactions and the corresponding sensing activities. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that on the Pt surface, Pd atoms exist as adatoms and the contents of Pd(0) and Pd(ii) were 75.72 and 24.
