Niemann-Pick Disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of infancy characterized by failure to thrive, hepatosplenomegaly and neurodegenerative changes that leads to sphingomyelin and cholesterol storage within the lysosome.Although the disease is common among Jewish individual but is rare in South Asian particularly in Bangladesh. So, we present the case as a rare incidence in our country.
Pneumonia was the leading common cause of death in young children in Bangladesh. 351 patients of Pneumonia below five years of age were selected as per WHO guidelines. Out of 351 patients, one patient died due to very severe pneumonia that had history of low birth weight and malnutrition. The following factors were taken into consideration such as age, sex, low birth weight, feeding pattern, malnutrition, housing, paternal education, ventilation of living room and smoking habits of parents. It was found that below 2 months of age, severe pneumonia showed 50% and there was male preponderance in all age group and also 41.6% of male children had recurrent attack of pneumonia. Low birth weight and lack of breast feeding patient had suffered more frequently of Pneumonia. In this study, it was statistically proved that malnutrition (p=.00028), inadequate paternal education (p=.00007), bad ventilated living room (p=.00037) and also smoking habits of parents (p=.04054) had significant important risk factors of recurrent attack of Pneumonia in children.
It was concluded that the ORT corner was vary effective simple and safe in the management of diarrhoea in children and reduced the number of diarrhoeal admissions in the hospital.
Calcium chloride has diverse industrial applications. In spite of its demand and availability of raw materials locally, there are no chemical industries in Bangladesh that produce calcium chloride as a major product. This work was undertaken to assess the feasibility of production of calcium chloride on bench-scale by limestone-hydrochloric acid process and the quality of the product. Different amounts of limestone and 35.5% hydrochloric acid (by weight) were reacted in a PVC reactor to produce calcium chloride. Solubility at different temperature, pH, and calcium content were among the parameters measured to assess the product quality. FTIR Spectroscopy was also conducted to determine the quality of the product. Solubility values of the product ranged between 96-155g/100g water for temperatures between 30-100°C; calcium content of the product was found to be 25%.

Epiphora caused by nasolacrimal duct (NDL) obstruction is managed by surgery of dacryocystorhinostomy (OCR) is well established. Now a day OCR can be done by two ways: external OCR and endonasal OCR. There are various success rates reported by various authors. It is seen that the current laser assisted OCR is still not able to attain success over the conventional external OCR. A newer modification of dacryocystorhinostomy operation where flap anastomosis with ceiling stitch with orbicularis and subcutaneous tissue has given high rate of success.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
