Helicobacter pylori cagA gene Polymorphism in Patients with Gastroduodenal Diseases

Stroke is the major cause of death and disability in the world. The endemicity in Bangladesh is increasing. This hospital-based cross-sectional study was done to assess the risk factors responsible for acute stroke. It was carried out in the Medicine, Neurology, and Neurosurgery department of Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from August 2010 to January 2011. A totalof 116 admitted cases were included in this study.During the period of study,16 patientsdied. So, ultimately 100 cases were included in the study. A detailed history was taken,and clinical examination and relevant investigations were done.Out of 116 patients 77(66.4%) were ischemic, 23(19.8%) were haemorrhagic and 16(13.8%) were died. Among them 67(67%) were male and 33(33%) were female. So male to female ratio was 2:1. The age of the patients ranged from 15-96 years.The more than 50 years age group was highest at 49(63.6%) in ischemic, and 41-50 years age group was highest at 10(hemorrhagic) patients. Patients of the sedentary group were more affected in both ischemic 39(50.6%) and hemorrhagic 13(56.5%) strokes. Out of 100 cases, 35(45.5%) were hypertensive in ischemic stroke and 22(94.7%) were hypertensive in haemorrhagic stroke, 21(27.3%) were diabetic in ischemic stroke and 4(17.4%) were diabetic in haemorrhagic stroke, 17(22.1%) were smoker in ischemic stroke and 2(8.7%) were asmoker in haemorrhagic stroke, hyperlipidaemia occurs 17(22.1%) cases in ischemic stroke and 13(56.5%) were in haemorrhagic stroke. Thromboembolic manifestations only occur in 12(52.2%) cases in haemorrhagic stroke patients.

“…Jose et al (28) showed that the blastogenic response of T lymphocytes was altered in children with moderate malnutrition and in children recently recovered from PEM. Chowdhury et al (29) also showed that children with PEM had defects in blastogenesis of lymphocytes after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin. McMurray et al (31) evaluated 43 Colombian children: 21 had kwashiorkor, 11 had marasmus‐kwashiorkor, and 11 had marasmus.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a 4‐week nutritional recovery period with a starting infant formula and 3.35 kJ/mL energy density would favorably affect the natural and cell‐mediated immune response in infants with severe and primary protein‐energy malnutrition.MethodologyThe study included 12 severely malnourished infants, 3 to 18 months of age. For 2 weeks, infants were fed a starting infant formula, with energy density increased to 0.8 kcal/mL, through a nasogastric tube. Infants were fed “ad libitum” for 2 more weeks. On the fifth day, 837 kJ/kg and 4 g/kg protein were given daily. At the beginning and at the end of the 4‐week period, weight, length, phagocytosis, microbicidal activity, chemotaxis, and cell proliferation indices were measured. Null hypothesis was rejected with a paired t test and a P value less than 0.05.ResultsAfter the 4‐week period of nutritional recovery, the weight and length indicators and the four immunologic assays showed significant increase (P < 0.005).ConclusionThe study demonstrated that a 4‐week nutritional recovery period with a starting infant formula and 0.8 kcal/mL energy density favorably affected the natural and cell‐mediated immune response in infants with severe protein‐energy malnutrition.
