Background: Waste collectors face multi-faceted health risks including exposure to musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory diseases, and workplace injuries because of their hazardous work environment.The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors that affect health of the waste collectors across Bangladesh.Methods: Data on a cross-secti
Probabilistic analysis of long-term loss incorporating maximum entropy method and analytical higher-order moments
Abstract Quantifying economic losses of civil infrastructures subjected to various hazards under a Health life-cycle context is of vital importance for risk assessment and management.In previous studies, the expected long-term loss has been widely applied as a standard decision criterion during the life-cycle analysis.However, the expectation may n
Evaluation of information on pregnancy and lactation in patient information leaflets of antirheumatic drugs
Objective: The use of antirheumatic drugs during pregnancy and lactation should be arranged so as not to harm the fetus and mother.There are various sources of information, such as pregnancy guidelines and patient information leaflet (PIL), which are used to determine the course of treatment during these periods.Methods: In this study, different an
Diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis: pathogenetic relationship and current principles of treatment
Diabetes mellitus (DM) Moisturiser is a well known risk factor for osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures.A lot of data has been published about the relationship between diabetes and bone health.DM type 1 and DM type 2 have different effects on bone mineral density (BMD).The central link in pathogenesis of bone fragility in patients with D
Identification and Validation of a Putative Polycomb Responsive Element in the Human Genome.
Epigenetic cellular memory mechanisms that involve polycomb and trithorax group of proteins are well conserved across metazoans.The cis-acting elements interacting with these proteins, however, are poorly understood in mammals.In a directed search we identified a potential polycomb responsive element with 25 repeats of YY1 binding motifthatwe desig
