Background: Persistent COVID-19 symptoms and post-COVID chronic diseases have received more attention rather than the infection itself. This study’s goal was to evaluate the health status of recovered COVID-19 patients and analyze the factors associated with a high burden of symptoms. Methods: This was acohort study among hospital-released and recovered COVID-19 patients after three to six months of infection. Data was collected through a structured interview and analyzed by IBM SPSS (version25). Results: Fatigue (74.2%) followed by anxiety (38.9%) and joints paint (34.7%) were the most common symptoms of post-COVID period. Among participants, 21.34% had low dietary adherence and 17.2% had high adherence. A statistically significant correlation of high symptoms burden with dietary adherence and age was observed. People with low dietary adherence are at risk of high symptom burden and chronic diseases (AOR: 3.56, 95%CI:1.46-8.69). Habit of smoking, Asthma, Hypothyroidism, Ischemic heart disease are significant predictor (P<0.05). Patients those did not required ICU also had a lower risk of burden. Conclusion: Effective control of post- COVID symptoms is important to confirm a healthy life. Therefore, it is important to maintain good dietary practice, avoid bad habits and control of chronic diseases for a good quality of life. Bangladesh J Medicine 2023; 34(3): 214-222

Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Renal diseases are increasingly recognized and encompasses a large share of the health sector. About 20 million people are suffering from chronic kidney disease, and of them, approximately 35,000–40,000 develop endstage renal disease each year. Chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetes mellitus and hypertension are the principal causes of chronic kidney disease. Hypovolemia, sepsis, obstetric complications and drugs (including herbal and homeopathic remedies) are common causes of acute kidney injury. All three renal replacement therapy modalities (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation) are performed in Bangladesh, yet only 25% of end-stage renal disease patients have access to treatment due to inadequate facilities and high healthcare costs. Nephrology as a specialty started its journey in 1973 in Bangladesh and now about 300 Nephrologists are managing the subject. Still there is huge need for more Nephrologists, as only one nephrologist is available for about every 0.8 million people. The country has improved financially from low- to low-middleincome country. Health sector is also more improving gradually. The government is now setting up renal care at rural level, introducing screening programs for early detection and prevention of kidney and other noncommunicable diseases. At the same time steps are under way to improve the advanced renal services at secondary and tertiary health institutes. Kidney transplantation started in 1982 and only live related transplantation are being done in several government and private organization. ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation has already been performed. Recently decease renal transplantation has also been performed.

Background: Cerebral sinus thrombus (CVST) is a rare form of stroke often affects young people with diverse clinical, etiological and radiological presentation. The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical relevance, etiologies, and imaging characteristics of CVST in Bangladesh. Methods: A prospective, observational study was done at a tertiary care hospital with patients recruited in the period of January 2021 to January 2023. 38 patients with clinical and radiological features suggestive of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) were studied with thorough clinical evaluation and comprehensive work up. Results: The mean age of presentation was 28.42 years with female predominance (n = 24). Headache was the most common presenting symptoms (92%, n = 35) followed by vomiting (52%, n = 20). Hemi paresis (38%; n = 14) was the most common clinical sign followed by cranial nerve palsy (26%, n = 10). 31% of the patients (n=12) had provoked CVST among those the most common cause was found to be pregnancy/puerperium in 58% (n = 7 patients) followed by OCP which were 25% (n = 3). 69 % of the patients (n=26) had unprovoked CVST among those the most common cause was found to be prothrombotic conditions in 85% (n = 22 patients) followed by idiopathic which were 15% (n = 4). In magnetic resonance imaging venography (MRV), 74% of patients (n = 28) had thrombosis of transverse sinus, 53% of patients (n = 20) had thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus and 42% patients (n = 16) of patients had saggital sinus thrombosis. Conclusion: Clinical presentation is variable, etiology must be determined, and diagnostic method of choice is MRV. Headache was most the common clinical presentation and the most common etiological factor is puerperium. Provoked CVST is more common than unprovoked CVST and transverse sinus thrombosis frequently involved. Bangladesh J Medicine 2023; 34(3): 186-191

Background: An imbalance of different adipocytokines may play a role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. This study aimed to observe the association and diagnostic utility of adiponectinin PCOS and its manifestations. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 40 newly diagnosed females of reproductive age (18-40 years) with PCOS on the basis of international evidence-based guidelines and an equal number of matched healthy control. Along with clinical information, blood was drawn for biochemical and hormonal analysis. Glucose was measured by glucose oxidase, lipid by glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase peroxidase, all hormones by CMIA, and adiponectin by ELISA method. Insulin resistance was measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) and defined with a cut-off of 2.6. Results:Patients with PCOS had lower serum adiponectin than controls without significant differences even irrespective of body mass index status(ns for all). Adiponectin levels had no significant associations or correlations with any manifestations among patients with PCOS (ns for all). ROC curve analysis showed that serum adiponectin could not be used as a marker of PCOS. It was a poor marker of both metabolic syndrome [AUC (95% CI): 0.64 (0.46-0.81] and insulin resistance [AUC (95% CI): 0.61 (0.44-0.79)] in patients with PCOS. Conclusion: Our study failed to find any significant association between adiponectin and PCOS and its characteristics. Serum adiponectin could not be used as a marker of PCOS. It was a poor marker of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome among patients with PCOS. Bangladesh J Medicine 2023; 34(3): 206-213

Background: Understanding the adaptative changes in bone shapes among animals involves studying bone morphology. We examined adult hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius)forelimb bones at the anatomy laboratory of Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh. Samples were collected from Rangpur Recreation Park and Zoo between September 2021 and July 2022. Methods: Bones were processed by removing mud and boiled with water. Subsequently, hydrogen peroxide was used for one and a half hours to remove any remaining muscular tissues from the bones. Following this, the bones were air-dried under sunlight for a month. Measurements of key parameters including length, height, width, circumference, and weight were obtained using calibrated instruments, thereby ensuring precision. Results:The scapula displayed a pronounced and elongated spine – the spina scapulae – that demarcated the lateral surface into two distinct fossae: the supraspinous fossa and the infraspinous fossa. The distal expansion of the spine, known as the acromion process, consisted of the fused hamate process and suprahamate process. The head of humerus was round and featured two undivided tubercles: the greater or major and the lesser tubercle. On the medial surface, a small and shallow radial fossa was observed, while on the opposite side, a large and deep olecranon fossa was present. The proximal surface of the radius head exhibited concave fovea capitis radii, which articulated with the lateral condyle of the humerus. The shaft of the radius was slightly expanded in the cranio-caudal direction. Similarly, the shaft of the ulnahad a somewhat triangular shape, resembling the shape of the radius shaft. Medially, it had a convex facet that articulated with the radius, and cranially, the interosseous space between the radius and ulna was longer than the caudal view. Conclusions: The unique anatomical features and morphometric measurements of the forelimb bones in hippos can be beneficial for identification, radiographic interpretation, and forensic investigation. Furthermore, this study provides essential guidelines and insights for understanding appropriate anatomical parameters.
