However, their low NPVs (31.8%) indicate that negative cytology results cannot reliably exclude mucormycosis, and histopathological examination remains mandatory in clinically suspected cases with negative cytological findings.January 2026; Vol. 20(1):001, DOI: https://doi.org/10.55010/imcjms.20.001 *Correspondence: Mohd.

No positive cases were detected among children <12 years. Prevalence was nearly equal among males (2.0%) and females (1.26%). Month-wise analysis showed a fluctuating trend, with the highest positivity in April (2.03%). The highest HBsAg rate was observed among suspected hepatitis cases 2.50%, followed by Preoperative screening 1.64%. Conclusion: The study highlights a low prevalence of HBsAg in our hospital population, consistent with WHO’s “low endemicity” category. The absence of infections in children reflects the success of childhood vaccination programs, while persistence in adults suggests the need for catch-up vaccination strategies. Comparisons with similar studies confirm declining HBV prevalence across India. Strengthened surveillance, improved diagnostic confirmation and targeted immunization remain critical for achieving HBV elimination goals.

Out of 10 cases, 9 (90%) were positive for serum bactericidal antibody. Mean serum bactericidal antibody titer of septicemia cases (66 ± 26) was not significantly (p = 0.72) different than those of localized infection (80 ± 28.28). Conclusion: The results indicate that high anti- B. pseudomallei IgM/IgG and serum bactericidal antibodies are induced in diabetic patients with septicemia and suppurative infections. This immune response in diabetics might be important to contain the infection and help in recovery.

Seropositivity at 1 month after 1st dose and 4 and 7 months after 2nd dose of vaccination increased significantly (p <0.05) compared to pre-vaccination rate. Compared to pre-vaccination level, the mean anti- SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels increased significantly (p<0.05) at 1 month after 1st dose and 4 and 7 months following 2nd dose of vaccination. Among 41 seronegative (non-immune) individuals, seropositivity to SARS-CoV-2 increased significantly (<0.05) at 7 month after 2nd dose of vaccine compared to 1 month and 4 months following 1st and 2nd doses of vaccine respectively. Seropositivity was not significantly (p >0.05) different before and after vaccination in participants having adequate and insufficient/deficient vitamin D levels. Conclusion: The study revealed that a good proportion of young adults possessed anti- SARS-CoV-2 antibody before vaccination and the seropositivity increased to over 90% following vaccination with Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine. High level of anti- SARS-CoV-2 antibody persisted 7 months after 2nd dose of vaccine.

Histopathologic examinatiom revealed type III DN in 26 (56.5%) and type IV DN in 11 (23.9%) cases. IFTA score 1 (<25%) was seen in 20 (43.5%), score 2 (25-50%) in 19 (41.3%) and score 3 (>50%) in 7 (15.2%). Vascular hyalinization score-2 in 25 (54.3%), score-1 in 14 (30.4%) and score-0 in 7 (15.2%). DN class II, III and IV were associated with high urinary total protein (UTP) and serum creatinine levels. Among the histologic changes, percentage of glomerular sclerosis, the mean IFTA score and vascular hyalinization score were found to be highest in class IV DN, and all were significantly associated with histologic glomerular DN classes (p= <0.05). Of the total cases, 21 (45.65%) were found with nondiabetic renal diseases (NDRD), the most common feature was focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (26.57%), followed by IgA nephropathy and post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN). Among 46 cases, one post-transplant biopsy was included, which revealed class II DN along with features of calcineurin inhibitor toxicity. Conclusion: Tervaert’s histologic classification of our cases revealed class III DN lesions as the predominant one, and the classes had a significant association with age of the patient, serum creatinine level, mean IFTA, arteriolar hyalinization and NDRD. Among the NDRD, FSGS was the most common pathology. IMC J Med Sci. 2023; 17(1): 003.

E. coli isolates were tested for susceptibility to fosfomycin and a panel of antimicrobial agents by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. All the isolates were tested for production of ESBL, AmpC and MBL. Result: A total of 88 E. coli were isolated of which, 47 (53.40%) and 41 (46.59%) were from male and female patients respectively. Of the total E. coli isolates, 58 (65.9%) were from in-patient cases. Multi-drug resistance was found in 69 (78.40%) isolates and remaining 19 (21.6%) were resistant to different antimicrobials tested. All (100%) the MDR and non-MDR isolates were sensitive to fosfomycin. Highest resistance was present against nalidixic acid (93.8%) while resistance was least against nitrofurantoin (15.91%), piperacillin/tazobactam (17.1%) and meropenem (18.18%). Of the total, 35 (50.72%) isolates were both AmpC and ESBL producers while 11 (15.94%) and 8 (11.59%) were only AmpC and ESBL producers respectively. MBL was positive in 15 (21.73%) of E. coli isolates. All those isolates tested sensitive to fosfomycin. Conclusion: The study revealed that fosfomycin had excellent activity against MDR E. coli causing UTI in our area. IMC J Med Sci. 2023; 17(1): 008.

Results: Micro-vascular complications (retinopathy and nephropathy) were the highest among both Gr1 with follow-up >15y and Gr2 with follow-up 10-15y. Compared with the Gr2, retinopathy (34.4 vs. 48.5 %: c2 =11.5, p <0.001) and nephropathy (24.0 vs. 39.2 %: c2 = 15.6, p<0.001) were significantly higher in the Gr1. In contrast, HTN, skin-lesion and periodontal diseases were significantly higher in the Gr2 than in Gr1. All types of complications were found increasing with the duration of follow-up. For Gr1, the increasing trend of cerebrovascular accident (CVD/ stroke) and CHD was significant (p<0.01 and p<0.001). Mean blood glucose of study population revealed moderate to severe hyperglycemia in successive follow-up visits. The comparison between patients with and without severe hyperglycemia (2hPG: <10.0 vs. ³10.0 mmol/l) showed very little difference of complications. The increasing age over 40 years showed significant risk for CHD and hypertension. Conclusion: CHD, stroke and PVD were less frequent compared to those with retinopathy and nephropathy. Compared to microvascular complications the macrovascular events resulted in either early death or complete disability to pursue long-term follow-up. The most important and consistent predictors were female gender and duration of diabetes.  IMC J Med Sci 2022; 16(1): 002. DOI: https://doi.org/10.55010/imcjms.16.002 *Correspondence: M.

But in both diabetic and non-diabetic cases, significantly (p˂0.05 and p˂0.01) reduced rate of phagocytosis of B. pseudomallei by PMN was observed compared to E. coli (21.8±4.64 vs 65±5.36; 29.25±5.5 vs 71.25±5.59). Similar results were obtained in terms of phagocytic index. Mean percentage of formazan positive PMN from diabetic cases was not significantly different (p>0.05) from non-diabetic healthy cases when cells were treated with B. pseudomallei or E. coli. In both diabetic and healthy individuals, mean percentage of formazan positive PMN treated by B. pseudomallei was not significantly different from that by E. coli. Conclusion: The observations revealed that B. pseudomallei was equally capable of inhibiting the phagocytic ability of PMN from both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.

A team of cardiologists selected and accomplished exercise tolerance test (ETT) and echocardiography (Echo). Results: The prevalence of CAD was 4.5% (95% CI: 3.85 – 5.15). Compared with the female (3.5%, CI, 2.76 – 4.24) the male participants had significantly higher prevalence of CAD (6.0%, CI, 4.83 – 7.13). Comparison of characteristics between participants with and without CAD showed that age, SBP, DBP and FBG were significantly higher in CAD group. Bivariate analysis showed that age, sex, social class, glycemic status, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and smoking were significantly related to CAD. Stepwise logistic regression proved only male sex, rich social class, hypertension and diabetes had independent risk of CAD; whereas, age, obesity and dyslipidemia were proved not significant. Conclusions: The study concludes that the prevalence of CAD in a Bangladeshi rural population is comparable to other developed countries. The male sex, rich social class, hypertension and diabetes were proved to have excess risk of CAD. Neither obesity nor dyslipidemia were found significant for CAD. The younger people had similar risk as the aged ones, which necessitate primordial and primary prevention of CAD. Further study may be undertaken, which should include and consider physical activity and diet; and if possible, C-reactive protein, Vitamin D and homocysteine level.

The persons with higher age from higher social class with higher central obesity had excess risk for DR. The risk of DR increased with increasing hyperglycemia. Further study may be undertaken to confirm these findings. IMC J Med Sci 2016; 10(1): 10-17. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3329/imcjms.v10i1.31100 Address for Correspondence: Prof. M.

The comparisons of characteristics were made between CKDcreat and non-CKDcreat (£ 1.2 vs.>1.2 mg/dl) groups. Similar comparisons were also made between CKDgfr and non-CKDgfr (>60 vs. £ 60 ml/min/1.732) groups. Results: A total of 4172 patients got admitted in the study period of 90 days; and 442 patients (m / f = 256 / 186) were investigated. Of the total (n=4172), 241 (5.8%) had CKDcreat and 272 (6.5%) had CKDgfr. Of the investigated 442 patients, 241 (54.5%) had CKDcreat and 272 (61.5%) had CKDgfr. The differences of characteristics between CKDcreat and non-CKDcreat groups were almost similar to the differences between CKDgfr and non-CKDgfr groups. Higher age, higher social class and higher blood pressure showed significant (p<0.001) and similar associations with both CKDcreat and CKDgfr. Interestingly, if the cut-off of eGFR is taken at <90 ml/min/1.732, as suggested by K/DOQI, the prevalence of CKDgfr increases to 86.7%. This indicates a wide variation (32.2%) between the two criteria (CKDcreat: creat >1.2 mg/dl and CKDgfr: <90 ml/min/1.732). Thus, a large proportion remained either under- or over-diagnosed depending on the criterion used. Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD among the hospitalized patients was found not negligible. The comparisons of two diagnostic criteria did differ and eGFR (K/DOQI) could detect higher proportion of CKD, which might be an over-diagnosis. Further study taking microalbuminuria, gross proteinuria, albumin-creatinine ratio and cystatin C may validate the method for the diagnostic accuracy of CKD, which my help assessing the prevalence of CKD accurately.

The biophysical characteristics were compared between pregnant and non-pregnant; and then GDM and non-GDM. Only the pregnant women were taken as a pregnancy cohort. The cohort had follow-up from 24wks of pregnancy through 28 post-natal days. Results The census yielded 23545 (m / f=11896 / 11649) people of all ages. The married women of age 15-45y were 4526. Of them, 2100 were randomly selected for investigation and 1585 (75.5%) volunteered. The overall prevalence (95% CI) of hyperglycemia (FPG >5.1 mmol/L) was 18.5% (16.7 – 20.3). The prevalence of GDM was 8.9% (7.0 – 10.8) and non-GDM was 19.8% (18.8 – 20.8). The BMI and WHR were significantly higher in the pregnant than non-pregnant women; whereas, there was no significant difference between GDM and non-GDM group. The prevalence rates of abortions, stillbirths, hospital delivery, cesarean delivery, hospital stay ³7days, puerperal sepsis and neonatal death did not differ between GDM and non-GDM subjects significantly. The prevalence of GDM in rural Bangladesh is comparable with any other population with higher prevalence of GDM. The prevalence of hyperglycemia was found significantly higher in the non-pregnant than the pregnant women. The anthropometric measures did not differ significantly between GDM and non-GDM though FPG was found significantly higher in the former. Compared with the non-GDM the GDM subjects had no significantly higher fetomaternal morbidity and mortality possibly due to non-sedentary habit, non-obesity, non-dyslipidemia or may be due to inherent genetic makeup. A well designed study in a larger sample may explain our findings. Ibrahim Med. Coll.

Both non-diabetic and diabetic treated groups (Gr II & IV) received Zingiber officinale (ginger) juice (4 ml Kg–1 b.w., p.o.) for 10 days (day 2-day 11) through Ryles tube. On Day 12, animals were sacrificed under light ether anaesthesia, blood was collected by cardiac puncture and serum separated for estimation of lipids. Zingiber officinale (ginger) juice significantly (p<0.01) decreased alloxan induced hyperglycemia (group IV), but had no effect on blood glucose level in normal rats (group II); significantly (p<0.001) reduced alloxan induced hyperlipidemia, but produced no significant lipid lowering effects in normal rats (group II). The results suggest a significant anti-hyperlipidemic action of Zingiber officinale (ginger) juice in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The findings may be clinically significant and exploited.

Overall, the prevalence of underweight, normal, overweight and obesity were 57.4%, 35.0%, 4.9% and 2.7%, respectively. For gender comparison, there has been no significant difference of BMI between boys and girls. By social class, the prevalence of underweight was significantly higher in the poor than in the rich (62.2% v. 43.6%) and obesity was higher in the rich than in the poor (6.1% v. 1.2%) [for both, p<0.001]. Logistic regression showed that the participants from urban (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.03 – 2.22) and the rich (OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.24 – 3.33) social class had excess risk for obesity. The risk for undernutrition was found just reverse. Undernutrition was found most prevalent among the rural students and among the poor social class; whereas, prevalence of overweight and obesity appears to be increasing with urbanization and increasing family income. Thus, the study showed a nutrition paradox – adiposity in the midst of many undernourished children and adolescents in Bangladesh. Further study may be undertaken in a large scale to establish diagnostic criteria for age specific nutrition assessment in Bangladesh. A prospective children cohort may help assessing the cut-offs for unhealthy sequels of undernutrition and adiposity. Ibrahim Med. Coll.

The levels of knowledge were low in 42%, medium in 35% and high in 23% of the study subjects. The corresponding attitude levels were low in 1%, medium in 31% and high in 68%, and the levels of practice were low in 80%, medium in 14% and high in 6% of the subjects. The knowledge score was higher in secondary and graduate (53.4±8.9%, and 54.9±10.1%) groups compared to illiterate-primary group (48.9±9.9%). Practice score of illiterate-primary group (34.5±16.8%) was lower than secondary and graduate (43.1±13.9% and 46.7±18.1%) groups, but they did not differ on attitude. The various income groups did not differ on knowledge. Attitude score of high-income group (78.7±8.4%) was better than low-income group (70.9±11.8%). Practice score in high-income group (44.7±16.0%) was better than medium income and low-income groups (31.3±14.5% and 28.6±15.0%). Knowledge and practice score in Bangladeshi hypercholesterolemic type 2 diabetic subjects are not satisfactory although they have fairly good attitude levels. Education and income status are the major determinants of knowledge, attitude and practice regarding dyslipidemia in diabetes. A coordinated  policy is required to promote knowledge and attitude on healthy lifestyle and to translate those into practice. Ibrahim Med. Coll.

Blood group B was more common among the males (37.42%) while O was predominant among female donors (33.83 %). On the other hand, blood group O negative was predominant in both genders (36.88%). In this study, Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium law was used to calculate the allelic frequency for ABO/ Rh system. Homozygous allelic frequency for Rh negative population was only 0.0007. Although phenotypically B group was dominant and AB was rare in our population, but according to Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium law the estimatedallelic frequency of A (0.3694) and O (0.3040) showed higher frequency than B type (0.2300) in Bangladeshi population in both homozygous and heterozygous state. So, with increasing population of Bangladesh, this changing trend in estimated blood group in ABO system may play an important role in our genetic pattern. Ibrahim Med. Coll.

Although the wives of the unskilled labor and the skilled employee were equal (25% vs. 25%), the wives of skilled employee had significantly higher awareness than the wives of the unskilled laborer (30.7 vs. 10.9%, p = 0.001). The study concludes that higher awareness level was significantly associated with higher education of the participants and higher education of the husband. Occupationally, housewives were found to have very low level of awareness compared with the employed group of participants.

The first interview was taken before any intervention while the second interview was taken after a minimum interval of 8 weeks. The daily intake of macro- and micro- nutrients was assessed by 24-hr recall method. Energy expenditure of the subjects was calculated by factorial method using physical activity level (WHO/FAO/UNU 1985). After intervention, the proportion of carbohydrate, protein and fat intake of the study subjects did not differ significantly compared to values before intervention. The daily intake of micronutrients also did not differ compared to those before intervention. No significant difference was found between pre and post intervention values of per day energy intake (kcal, 1621 ± 426 vs 1645 ± 623). Total energy expenditure after intervention was significantly higher (1649 ± 340) compared to before intervention (1519 ± 353, p<0.002). After intervention, fasting serum glucose level (7 ± 1.43 mmol/l), serum glucose 2 hrs after breakfast (11 ± 4.1 mmol/l) and total cholesterol (217 ± 35 mg/dl) were significantly reduced compared to before intervention values (9 ± 4, 16 ± 7, 231 ± 32 respectively; p=0.001 for FSG, p=0.001 for SGABF, p<0.001 for total cholesterol). Nonpharmacological intervention was found to be effective in improving the management of diabetes and its complications. Ibrahim Med. Coll.

Coll. J. 2007; 1(1): 1-6 =140 and DBP >= 90 mmHg, respectively. The prevalence of both sHTN and dHTN in T2DM was higher than the non-DM subjects (sHTN: 49.1 vs 14.3%, dHTN 19.6 vs. 9.5%). The comparison of characteristics between subjects with and without hypertension showed that the differences were significant for age, weight, waist-girth, BMI, WHR and WHtR for both T2DM and non-DM subjects (for all p<0.001). The increasing trend of hypertension with increasing obesity was observed more in the non-DM than in the T2DM subjects. The risk (OR) of obesity for hypertension increased with increasing WHR and WHtR in the non-DM than the T2DM subjects. Compared with the non-DM the T2DM participants had two to three folds higher prevalence of HTN. In either group, BMI, WHR and WHtR were significantly higher in the hypertensive than the non-hypertensive subjects. The prevalence of hypertension increased with the increasing BMI, WHR and WHtR but significant only in the non-DM. Further studies may confirm these findings and determine whether there was any altered association between blood pressure and obesity in diabetes possibily, with or without autonomic neuropathy.
