It is a significant public health problem globally with a higher burden in low and middle-income countries.

This descriptive and observational study was conducted in the Department of Psychiatry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 2016 to September 2018. The present study aimed at assessing the presence of comorbid psychiatric disorders among adolescents with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) included a total of 70 adolescents. Over half (60%) of the respondents were <15 years old, and 40% of the respondents were >15 years age. The mean age of the respondents was 13.2 ± 2.1 years, and the range was 11-17 years. About 50% of the adolescents interviewed had Tobacco Use Disorder (51.4%), followed by Cannabis Use Disorder (47.1%). Among the respondents, 22.8% had no psychiatric illness.

The neonatal intensive care unit is a fundamental sector for the survival of high-risk newborns. The acid-base disorder must always be considered in the clinical setting. The clinician should, in most cases, be able to predict the type of acid-base imbalance before the blood gas is available. Arterial blood gases (ABG-s) are the gold standard for assessing the adequacy of oxygen delivery, ventilation, and pH. This study aimed to assess the frequency of acid-base derangements among neonates admitted to the intensive care unit. Material & Methods: This was an observational cohort study that was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (I.C.U.) of Dhaka Shishu Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from October 2009 to September 2010. In total 230 neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, after fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enro...

It is being identified in increasing numbers in Bangladesh. In a study conducted by WHO and National Institute of Mental Health the prevalence of Autism is found to be 8 per 1000 in Bangladesh. Objective: To find out the development in behavior of children with ASD. Methods: This Randomized control trial study among the patient attending in Department of Psychiatry, National Institute of Mental Health & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study was carried out 6 months from Januaruy, 2019 to Jun, 2019. A total of 40 children (6 years or under 6 years) having Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), that of randomly selected (lottery method) 20 children received a specific dietary intervention was considered as group I and 20 children who not received a specific dietary intervention was considere...

The chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of ALL are potentially hepatotoxic. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has some role in preventing chemotherapy induced hepatotoxicity. The study was done to find out the hepatoprotective efficacy of UDCA in childhood ALL. Materials &Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted in the department of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. A total of 35 patients diagnosed as ALL were randomized in two groups.One group got UDCA along with chemotherapy and the other group chemotherapy alone. Estimation of S. ALT, S. AST and S. bilirubin were done before and after 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th week of starting chemotherapy. Result: The mean levels of S. ALT and S. AST were higher in the group that did not get UDCA. There were significant differences between S. ALT and S. ...
