Assessment of the Relationship of Cationic Trypsinogen (PRSS1) Gene Polymorphism with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes in the Bangladeshi Population.

Introduction: Cationic trypsinogen () gene mutation is responsible for hereditary pancreatitis (HP) with clinical outcomes like abdominal pain, diabetes mellitus and pancreatic cancer. The present study aims to screen () gene polymorphism in the Bangladeshi population, categorized as normal glucose tolerant (NGT), prediabetes (PD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: Blood was collected from the study subjects with overnight fasting (8-10 h), and 2 h after 75 g glucose intake orally.

3D foot kinetics estimation from distributed vGRF from smart insoles via 1D domain transformation.

Understanding foot kinetics is fundamental to analyzing human locomotion, offering critical insights into mechanical loads exerted on the feet. While vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) is widely used in biomechanics research, comprehensive 3D kinetic measurements, including ground reaction force (GRF), ground reaction moment (GRM), and center of pressure (CoP) along the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral axes, provide deeper insights for various applications. Smart insoles, though portable, cost-effective, and user-friendly, primarily capture vGRF and often generate lower-quality data than force plates and instrumented treadmills.

Integrating Serological and Genomic Data to Elucidate Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Diversity in Cattle from Bangladesh.

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), a transboundary pathogen threatening cattle health in South and Southeast Asia, presents growing challenges for disease control. This study combined serological, molecular, and genomic approaches to investigate LSDV in Barura Upazila, Bangladesh. Serological screening of 424 cattle using a commercial ELISA revealed a high seroprevalence of 55.

How consistent is the interpretation of renal scarring in pediatric patients using technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy.

Background: Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy plays a critical role in pediatric imaging for detecting renal cortical scarring, which is essential for diagnosing and managing kidney damage in children. However, variability in observer interpretation poses challenges, potentially impacting clinical decision-making and outcomes.

Objective: This study aims to assess intra- and inter-observer agreement in interpreting DMSA scans for detecting renal cortical scarring in pediatric patients, focusing on the presence, location, and percentage of kidney involvement.

DFT based investigation of Se doped MgMoSSe as promising cathode materials for Mg-ion battery application.

We have studied ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the new Chevrel phases, MgMoSSe, which has the potential to be used as unique cathode materials for rechargeable Mg batteries Mechanical, electronic properties and thermophysical parameters including Debye and melting temperature were investigated for the first time. According to our study, the lattice constants increase with the increase of Se content y in MgMoSSe. The mechanical stability of MgMoSSe compounds has been verified.
