Background Marma indigenous community in Bangladesh has a unique culture with its religion, culture, language, and tradition. To provide appropriate healthcare and end-of-life support, healthcare providers must know their beliefs and customs near and after death. We explored the beliefs related to the dying process and its impact on end-of-life care in the Marma community of Bangladesh. Methods This cross-sectional qualitative study used an open-ended interview schedule for in-depth interviews (IDI). Twenty-six interviewees were selected purposively from the Marma community of Bandarban district to represent a population of different ages with varied experiences and religious knowledge. After each IDI, all field notes and audio records were transcribed verbatim, and qualitative content analysis was done to construct the themes. Result After analysis, the generated theme indicated a ‘reflection of previous Karma’ within the Marma community. This theme is based on three categories: ' state of the body and mind’, ‘care of a dying person’, and ‘beliefs on the dying process’. Conclusion Death is inevitable for all of us, but suffering in death is not desired. Like other communities around the world, the Marma community also holds its own beliefs and practices regarding end-of-life care related to death. The death of a person in his own house is considered a good death within the Marma community. In the traditional death ritual practices of the Marma community, palliative care in the form of end-of-life care has the potential to enhance the quality of life, alleviate suffering, and enable a peaceful passing with dignity.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most unabating cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine the association of paediatric NAFLD and single nucleotide polymorphism in patatin like phopholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene. Methods:Τhis case-control study was carried out from June 2021 to December 2022. A total of 51 overweight children aged 6 17 years were recruited in this study and divided into NAFLD (cases) and non-NAFLD (controls) groups on the basis of hepatic steatosis detected by liver ultrasonography. We analyzed the rs738409 polymorphism by TaqMan assay and examined its association with NAFLD. Results: A total of 31 (60.7%) children were in case group and 20 children were in control group. Body mass index, waist circumference, total cholesterol and triglycerides levels were statistically higher in NAFLD group. Homogygosity (GG status) and heterogygosity (CG status) for PNPLA3 polymorphism was seen in 2 (6.4%) and 18 (58.1%) children having NAFLD, respectively. PNPLA3 rs738409 genotypes were similar between case and control groups. Conclusion: No association was found between PNPLA3 rs 738409 SNP with the presence of NAFLD in children.

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) represent severe neurodegenerative conditions which is one of the lysosomal storage disorders. There are four main clinical forms of NCL among which late infantile variety is the second most common form of NCL. Here, we discuss a case concerning a boy aged 5 years and 4 months who exhibited a continuous decline in cognitive and motor functions starting from the age of 4. As the disorder advanced, he experienced gradual deterioration of his eyesight, unsteady walking and myoclonic seizures. An electroencephalogram performed on the child demonstrated widespread instances of sharp and slow wave discharges alongside a slowed background activity. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed extensive cerebral and noticeable cerebellar degeneration. A skin biopsy extracted from the armpit area displayed distinctive eosinophilic inclusions within the cells and structures in the eccrine ducts which stained positively for periodic acid-Schiff. These findings indicated a possibility of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal 2023;16(3): 174-177

Background: In Bangladesh, very few studies evaluated metabolic syndrome (MetS) among postmenopausal women (PMW) in a rural setting. Again, none of these studies used and tested the proposed continuous MetS score. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of MetS among PMW and evaluate the correlation of its severity score with the absolute risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) over the next 10-years. Methods: From a rural primary health care center, we recruited 265 PMW of 40-70 years of age who had no CVD. The MetS was defined according to modified Adult Treatment Panel III criteria and the continuous MetS severity score was constructed using a standardized Z-score for each component (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipid accumulation product and diastolic blood pressure) by regressing them onto the age. CVD risk was assessed using the lab-based Globorisk score. Results: About 35.1% of the PMW had MetS and the proportion of central obesity, generalized obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, and hypertension were higher among those with MetS than those without. A highly significant CVD risk score difference (U=4594.50, P<0.001) was observed between the subjects with and without MetS. Similarly, CVD risk showed a significant linear correlation (P<0.001) with the MetS severity score, which was adjusted for daily physical activity metabolic equivalent of task, body mass index and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusion: We found that one-third of PMW in a selected rural area of Bangladesh had MetS and a significant correlation of its severity score with CVD risk. A large-scale study is warranted to confirm the current findings with more precision. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal 2023;16(3): 133-138

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of transverse mini-incision and traditional mini-palm incision for Carpal tunnel release. Methods: A case-control study was done at Kurmitola General Hospital, Dhaka, and at US Bangla Medical College Hospital, Narayangonj between January 2019 to December 2021. A total of 42 patients diagnosed with idiopathic CTS were equally allocated in the transverse mini-incision group (case) and traditional mini-palm incision group (control). Results: Patients operated with transverse mini-incision returned to their work significantly earlier (10.3±2.1 days) than patients operated with traditional mini-palm incision (18.7±2.3 days). No significant difference was found between group I and group II McGill pain score improvement (P=0.16) and BCTQ symptom severity score and functional severity score (P=0.61 and P=0.43 respectively). Conclusion: We conclude that no significant difference was found regarding pain, symptom, and functional outcome between the two groups. Hence, patients in group I returned early to work.

Postpartum mood disorders are a significant clinical and public health concern. While pregnancy is an immensesource of happiness and pleasure for a woman, it is also a stressful time. During pregnancy, there is a significantincrease in the level of steroidal hormones. Women become vulnerable to numerous mood disorders when thesechildbirth hormones are suddenly withdrawn. These mood disorders range in severity from mild postpartum blues tomore serious mood disorders such as postpartum depression and psychosis. Approximately 50% to 80% of newmothers experience postpartum blues within the first few days of their child's birth.Postpartum depression, while less prevalent (occurring in 10-15% of deliveries), has a profound impact on the healthof both the mother and the baby. Unfortunately, these forms of mental illnesses in women are usually undiagnosed,untreated, and underestimated. Postpartum psychosis is exceedingly rare, involving about 1-2 mothers out of every1000 live births, but it is a true psychiatric emergency. This article reviews postpartum mood disorders, their riskfactors, signs and symptoms, complications, screening, treatment, and nursing care for these mothers. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Med. Coll.
