Impact of Nanonutrient Complex on Growth Performance, Feed Efficiency, and Hematobiochemical Profiles in Asian Catfish, .

Understanding how nanonutrients influence the growth and physiological processes of cultivable fish can boost fish production efficiency with less management, advancing aquaculture toward global food security. In this study, a 60-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effects of a nanonutrient complex (NNC) on the growth performances and physiology of Asian catfish, . Nanoparticles (NPs; Zn, Cu, and Fe) were synthesized from their metallic salts using an established acoustic method and characterized via scanning electron microscopy.

Child undernutrition is associated with maternal mental health and other sociodemographic factors in low-income settings in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Background: Maternal mental health and other underlying factors might affect a child's nutritional status. This study assesses child undernutrition and its associated characteristics, including maternal mental health, in low-income settings in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 397 lactating mothers with children aged 6-23 months from low-income settings in Dhaka.

Nutritional, Antibacterial and Thrombolytic Prospects of Freshwater Protein Hydrolysate and Its Anti-Inflammatory Potential in LPS-Induced RAW 264.7 Macrophage Cells.

Chronic inflammation and heme-iron overload can result from bacterial hemolysis. Along with the synthetic drugs, numerous traditional and functional food approaches are equally trialed to eradicate the problem. As a prospective new source of dietary protein hydrolysates, freshwater mollusks () have recently drawn huge interest from researchers.

Heavy metals and metalloid contamination and risk evaluation in the surface sediment of the Bakkhali River estuary in Bangladesh.

Current state of contamination and subsequent risk of contaminated sediment of a tidal river of Bangladesh was evaluated in the present study. Sediment samples were collected from five locations in the tributary of Bakkhali River estuary during summer (April) and winter (December) season, 2020. Collected samples were processed using standard protocol and the content of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn) and metalloid (As), were analyzed by the Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer.

Synthesis and Characterization of Nano-Crystallite Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) from Marine Mollusk Waste: Babylonia japonica, Oliva sayana, and Conasprella bermudensis.

The study aims to synthesize nano-crystallite TSP using renewable, low-cost, waste marine mollusk from three different species such as Babylonia japonica, Oliva sayana, and Conasprella bermudensis. The molar ratio of phosphate to calcium in triple superphosphate [TSP, Ca(HPO).HO] significantly impacts its properties and fertilizer performance, in this case, we kept the ratio to 2.

Ecological and public health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in the surface sediments of the Pasur river estuary, Bangladesh.

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the surface sediments of the Pasur river estuary was investigated to assess its distribution, potential sources, and current dangers to ecological and public health. The Pasur River is a tidal, meandering, perennial river in south-western Bangladesh with a considerable number of fisheries and industrial activities. Sediment samples were collected from seven sampling points from January to December 2022 to assess the contamination level of six potentially toxic elements (Pb, Cr, Cd, As, Cu and Zn).

Here, we report the whole genome sequence of strain NGHE31, isolated from Dekhar Haor, following the 2017 flash flood that resulted in mass die-offs of local wildlife. The predicted genome size is 4,434,670 bp, with 63.97% GC content, 4,035 coding sequences, 3 rRNAs, and 50 tRNAs.

The scenario of knowledge, attitude and practice of the Bangladeshi population towards thalassemia prevention: A nationwide study.

Thalassemia is one of the most common life-threatening yet preventable congenital hemoglobin disorders especially in South Asian regions like Bangladesh. It has become a rising public health concern for Bangladesh as 6-12% of the population are carriers and many of them are unaware of it. The purpose of the study is to inspect the knowledge and attitude towards thalassemia among the general people of Bangladesh.

The Protective Effect of Lasia spinosa (Linn.) Dissipates Chemical-Induced Cardiotoxicity in an Animal Model.

Lasia spinosa (L.) Thwaites is a medicinal plant of enormous traditional use with insufficient scientific evidence. This research screened the antioxidative effect of L.

Determinants of health care seeking behavior for childhood infectious diseases and malnutrition: A slum-based survey from Bangladesh.

This study aimed to explore the magnitude and determinants of health care seeking behaviors for common infectious disease and malnutrition among Bangladeshi under-five children living in slum areas. A cross-sectional study of 300 children-caregiver dyads was conducted in an urban slum of Bangladesh. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire with accompanying anthropometric assessments of children administered by research staff.

Prevalence and determinants of eating disorder risk among Bangladeshi public university students: A cross-sectional study.

Eating disorders among university students have been increasing day by day in developing countries. However, there is a dearth of existing literature that assessed eating disorder risk among this population group in Bangladesh. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of eating disorder risk and its associated factors among university students.

Characterization and photodegradation pathway of the leachate of Matuail sanitary landfill site, Dhaka South City Corporation, Bangladesh.
