Introduction: Mullerian ducts are the primordial analogue of female genital tract. They differentiate to form the fallopian tubes, uterine body, cervix and upper part of the vagina. A wide variety of malformation occur when this system is disrupted. The range from uterine agenesis, duplication of uterus to minor cavity abnormalities. All these congenital anomalies have been implicated as a potential cause for impaired reproductive outcome. Our aim was to evaluate the association between different types of congenital anomaly and various reproductive outcome. Material & Methods: This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted at the Department of gynae and obstetrics in Dhaka Community Medical College and Hospital (DCMCH), Ad-din Women’s Medical College and Hospital and Gonoshasthaya Samaj Vittik Medical College and Hospital during the period of March 2012 to September 2022.The study subjects were women with uterine anomalies who were diagnosed during evaluation of causes for bad obstetric history, during infertility work up or incidental findings during antenatal investigations or during Carsarian section . Reproductive outcomes were observed in the form of infertility, miscarriage, preterm delivery, ectopic pregnancy, intra uterine growth retardation (IUGR) and post-partum haemorrhage (PPH). These were recorded in a standard research questionnaire. Data were analyzed regarding types of uterine anomalies and their reproductive performance. Results: During the study period total 84 patients were recruited with uterine anomalies. Regarding distributions of uterine anomalies in study subjects the most common uterine anomaly was bicornuate uterus (n-32,38%), followed by arcuate uterus (n-18,21%), septate uterus (n-16,19%), unicornuate uterus (n-12,14%), and uterine didelphys (n-6,7. 1%).Women with bicornuate uterus was associated with miscarriage (37.25%), term delivery (31.25%) and preterm delivery (25%). Therefore, bicornuate uterus was found more evident with miscarriage. Only two cases of ectopic pregnancy were observed in the study which was found with bicornuate uterus. And in arcuate uterus percentage of preterm delivery was 44.4%, term delivery 33.3%, miscarriage only 22.2%. Therefore, arcuate uterus was more associated with preterm delivery. In septate uterus miscarriage was maximum (37.5%) followed byl term and pre term delivery, 12.5% each We found 12 cases of unicornuateuterus, where pregnancy continued to term in 6(50%) cases,2 aborted and 4(33.3)were delivered before term. Infertility was more associated with canalization defect, 6 cases with septate and 2 with didelphys uterus. Among live births (preterm and term deliveries,) malpresentation (breech, transverse) was more common in bicornuate uterus (44%).PPh was found in 2 cases of didelphys and two of bicornuate uterus. One case of septate and one from bicornuate uterus were associated with IUGR. Conclusion: The study makes clear that congenital uterine anomaly is associated with poor reproductive outcome. The exact effect is dependent on the type of anomaly.

Introduction: Infertility affects approximately 10%-15% of reproductive-aged couples. Ovarian reserve describes the number of good-quality oocytes remaining within the ovaries. As a women ages, her ovarian reserve declines, principally due to apoptotic loss of primordial follicles. Serum AMH level is being considered a possible testing method for determining ovarian reserve. The aim of the study was to observe any association between serum Anti- Mullerian Hormone (AMH) level with patient age among subfertile patients. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Infertility Unit, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study duration was 14 months, from October 2011 to December 2012. The present study was conducted with 86 women of the reproductive age group with subfertility. Result: There was a gradual linear decline of AMH observed with an increment of age. The mean value of FSH and LH gradually increased in the higher age groups of 40-45 years than in the lower age group of 21-30 years. The mean BMI levels were almost similar in all age groups, and no remarkable difference could be discerned. The difference in AMH levels among the different age groups was statistically significant. a statistically significant negative correlation between age and serum AMH was observed, while a significant positive correlation was observed between FSH and age. Conclusion: As the age of a women advances, the AMH level decreases. The serum AMH is negatively correlated with age and serum FSH is positively correlated with age.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the third most common infection during childhood and considered as an important risk factor for the development long-term complications. It was aimed to look into the demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, and antimicrobial resistance among children hospitalized for UTI. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Inpatients Department of Uttara Adhunik Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study duration was 2 years, from July 2017 to June 2019, during which period, a total of 90 children with urinary tract infection visiting the study place were included in the study, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: The age of the participants ranged from over 1 months to 5 years., with majority (55.56%) being between the age of 2-5 years. The male to female ratio was 1:1.73. Fever was the commonest presenting symptom in participants, with 87.78% prevalence, followed by vomiting in 80% of the participants. The commonest organism cultured in this study was E. coli (80%), followed by Klebsiella spp. (20%). Isolated pathogens were highly sensitive to Amikacin (100.0%), Meropenem (100.0%), Imipenem (97.0%) and Nitrofurantoin (90.9% - 100.0%), moderately sensitivity to third generation Cephalosporine and highly resistant to Ampicillin (75.0 - 78.8%), Amoxiclav (72.7% - 87.5%) and Cephalexin (81.1% - 87.5%). Conclusion: The proportion of urinary tract infection in females was higher than males. Most patients presented with more than one symptom but most commonly presented with fever. E. coli was the most common isolated bacteria in hospitalized children with a principal diagnosis of UTI. Most of the isolated pathogens were highly resistant to ampicillin, cotrimoxazole, and highly sensitivity to amikacin, nitrofurantoin and meropenem.

Background: Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological problem. Acne is most commonly found in adolescents, caused by increased androgens in both sexes. It is usually caused due to Propionibacterium acnes. Minocycline is a newly introduced drug in treating acne vulgaris. On the other hand, it is assumed that azithromycin having a long half-life like can be very effective with better compliance in treating acne vulgaris. But we have not enough research-based comparative data regarding this issue. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of azithromycin pulse therapy with minocycline in treating acne vulgaris. Methods: This was a prospective, comparative study and was conducted in Department of Dermatology, Naogaon Medical College, Naogaon, Bangladesh, during the period from January 2021 to December 2021. In total 80 patients with moderate-to-moderately severe (Grade II and III), acne vulgaris were included in the study population. Patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups of group A & group B respectively. In group A, there were 25 patients received 500 mg azithromycin once a day for 3 days per week as pulse therapy along with 0.05% topical tretinoin for 3 months whereas in group B, there were another 25 patients received 50 mg minocycline twice a day along with 0.05% topical tretinoin for 3 months. All data were processed, analyzed, and disseminated by SPSS version 23.0 and MS Office program. Results: In this study, group A (Azithromycin) between baseline and final score distribution we found a significant correlation (P=0.023). On the other hand, in group B we did not find any significant correlation (P=0.073). In analyzing the changes in severity score of acne from baseline to the final assessment of both groups we observed, in group A at baseline 15%, 38%, and 48% of participants had the score points 2, 3, and 4 respectively whereas in the final stage 63%, 30%, and 8% participants had the score point 1, 2 and 3 respectively. So, in group A between baseline and final score distribution, we found a significant correlation (P=0.023). On the other hand, in group B at baseline 10%, 40%, and 50% of participants had the scored points 2, 3, and 4 respectively whereas in the final stage 65%, 28%, and 8% of participants had the score point 1, 2 and 3 respectively. In group B between baseline and final score distribution we found P value 0.073. Conclusion: In this study, the efficacy of both azithromycin pulse therapy and minocycline was found satisfactory. But as per the findings regarding the safety profiles, we can conclude that minocycline is safer than azithromycin pulse therapy in treating acne vulgaris.

Every tooth in the dentition can show very unique root anatomy along with variation in the number of canals in each root. The failure rate of nonsurgical root canal treatment is higher in the mandibular premolars due to difficulties in finding accessory canals explained in numerous studies. Clinicians should be aware and keep abreast with the complete assessment of the anatomy and morphology of the root canal system for a favorable treatment outcome. This case report illustrates root canal treatment for a rare case of a C-shaped with four root canals in the mandibular second premolar identified under a microscope and cone-beam computer tomography (CBCT) scan. This incidence has never been reported in the literature so far.

Economies with more active stock markets develop faster over successive decades. Such development remains attainable even after adjusting for various other factors underlying economic growth. Sierra Leone is one country whose stock market is now more than a decade old but remains poorly active. The number of listings as well as participation in the stock market remains low and insignificant. The study made a light review of the development path of the stock market in an effort to identify the derailing issues and suggesting ways to resolve. Through the review, it was obtained that there exist combinations of factors hindering the growth of the stock market. Inadequate support from the government has been identified, the privatisation concept was never implemented to the expected level, nature of business in the economy being mainly family-oriented and single proprietors, low levels of awareness of the general populace to issues of stock exchanges, limited participation by foreign investors, and high levels of corruption all are impacting factors. Significant reforms have to be made in the regulatory environment. Privatisation journey should be pursued effectively to improve listing by large firms. Foreign participation in the stock market elevated to some significant levels. The economy should continue to address issues of corruption so as to minimise its impact to institutional development. Public awareness should be enhanced to improve stock market participation by natives. Policies that promote foreign direct investment should be implemented. Management of political climate remains crucial for investors to have confidence and trust in their investments thereby attracting more for further development. Policy makers should walk the talk and demonstrate highest levels of commitment.

Composting is a technology for recycling organic materials in order to achieve enhanced agricultural production. Composting proceeds under controlled conditions in compost heaps and pits (Müller-Sämann, 1986). Heaps should have a minimum size of 1 m3 and are suitable for more humid environments where there is potential for watering the compost. The ratio of C to N in the compost pile is important for optimizing microbial activity. In this article, we will compare and contrast various composting techniques to examine the impact of composting on the environment. The composting process is impacted by temperature, Different composting techniques have an impact on both the physical characteristics of compost and the chemical composition of compost. Additionally, it will analyze Carbon and Nitrogen ratio. Which will enable us to comprehend how composting affects the atmosphere.

The hemorrhagic syndrome in its clinical, cutaneous and ocular diversity most often constitutes the circumstances in which acute leukemia is discovered. Digestive mucosal involvement is rarely indicative of serious bone marrow failure, thus posing a problem of etiological diagnosis in a gastroenterological medical setting [1]. In the literature, it varies from 2 to 10-15% depending on the study and is considered a sign of poor prognosis requiring early diagnosis for better management [2]. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman admitted for rectal bleeding associated with an anemic syndrome. The initial clinical examination showed a finger cot stained with bright red blood. The blood count had shown anemia at 6.4g/dl microcytic, normochromic, neutropenia at 1.8x103, thrombocytopenia at 36.103. Colonoscopy and esogastroduodenoscopy were normal. Blood smear and myelogram were in favor of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Karyotype and immunophenotyping were not performed. Symptomatic treatment was offered. The evolution is marked by the improvement of the clinical signs. This association, acute myeloid leukemia and rectal bleeding is rarely described in the literature.

The effect of varying moisture content on the shear strength properties of soil was conducted in this study by varying the soil natural moisture content to 2% and then 4% increment at various depth. The soil sample was cored out using drilling method at different depth below the ground surface starting from 400mm to 24.75m for point 1 and 400mm to 11.25m for point 2. Its grain distribution was found by wet sieve analysis, The natural moisture content of each soil sample was determined, other basic experiments that was carried out are specific gravity, Atterberg limit test, sieve analysis. The result from the findings showed that the soils at point 1 and 2 are composed of silt and clay and the soil at point 2 have high plasticity than the soil in point 1. Also from the findings, it was found that soil shears faster at higher moisture content and that the angle of internal friction and cohesion index are inversely related.

The family is the first social environment known to humans. The family is a social institution that functions to improve all the abilities that exist in each individual. However, it is not uncommon for families to have cases of irregularities or illegal activities that cause misery or suffering and are carried out by members of one family against other family members such as molestation, rape, and even leading to murder. This situation is commonly referred to as Domestic Violence or more commonly abbreviated as domestic violence. The formulation of the problems in this dissertation research is: 1) Why is the regulation of legal protection for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence not fair? 2) What are the weaknesses of the current legal protection regulations for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence? 3) How is the reconstruction of legal protection regulations for victims of domestic violence crimes based on the value of justice? The research method uses a constructivist paradigm, with a sociological juridical approach. Methods of data collection by observation and interviews, with qualitative analysis data analysis method. The results of the study are 1) Regulation of legal protection for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence has not been fair, it is worth considering who has the most initiative among couples in the household to commit acts of violence, including the scale of differences in physical strength and ability between husband and wife and seriousness in using physical force. Most women are victims of violence perpetrated by people who are closely related to them. Domestic violence is generally perpetrated by men against women, generally violence by husbands against wives. 2) Weaknesses of legal protection regulations for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence at this time in terms of legal substance, law enforcers in carrying out law enforcement are only oriented to legal certainty, not legal justice. From the aspect of the legal structure, the synergy between the apparatus has not been optimal, the weakness in this case since the enactment of the PKDRT Law in 2004, there are still many cases of violence against women that occur in society and many are even unsolved. In terms of legal culture, the factors behind domestic violence can be identified due to gender and patriarchal factors. 3) Reconstruction of Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence by changing and adding imprisonment and fines in Article 44, and the second reconstruction by adding the value of justice to Article 54.
