Background: Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering improved survival and quality of life compared to dialysis. However, in Bangladesh, the prevalence of renal transplant recipients remains relatively low due to medical, economic, and infrastructural challenges. Understanding the demographic and clinical characteristics of transplant recipients is crucial for improving transplant outcomes and healthcare planning. Objective: This study aims to assess the prevalence, demographic distribution, primary disease causes, and co-morbid conditions among renal transplant recipients in Bangladesh. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Nephrology at Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, as well as at CKD and Urology Hospital and the Kidney Foundation Hospital and Research Institute, Bangladesh. A total of 105 renal transplant recipients were selected using a purposive sampling method. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, medical records, and laboratory investigations. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 16, with results presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) for quantitative data and frequency (%) for categorical data. Results: The majority of renal transplant recipients were aged ≤40 years (72.4%), with a mean age of 34.7 ± 8.9 years. Males predominated, with a male-to-female ratio of 7.75:1. Most patients had a normal BMI (74.3%), with a mean BMI of 21.8 ± 3.1 kg/m². The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 124 ± 9 mmHg and 80 ± 6 mmHg, respectively. The primary disease leading to transplantation was undetermined in 83.8% of cases, followed by glomerulonephritis (6.7%), hypertension (3.8%), and diabetes mellitus (1.9%). Hypertension (94.3%) was the most common co-morbidity, followed by proteinuria (13.3%) and retinopathy (12.4%). Conclusion: Renal transplantation in Bangladesh is more common among younger males, with hypertension and glomerulonephritis being major contributors to ESRD. The high percentage of cases with undetermined primary disease highlights diagnostic limitations. Additionally, post-transplant hypertension remains a major challenge, necessitating lifelong monitoring and management. Addressing these epidemiological trends through improved diagnostic capabilities, awareness programs, and healthcare policies can enhance transplant outcomes and accessibility in Bangladesh.

Background: Dyslipidemia, characterized by abnormal lipid profiles, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been increasingly implicated in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dyslipidemia contributes to endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation, potentially exacerbating renal impairment. However, the association between dyslipidemia and key renal risk factors—estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), proteinuria, anemia, and C-reactive protein (CRP)—in renal transplant recipients remains inadequately explored. Objective: To assess the association between dyslipidemia and renal risk factors, including eGFR, proteinuria, anemia, and CRP, in renal transplant recipients. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital, the CKD and Urology Hospital (CKD&U), and the Kidney Foundation Hospital and Research Institute, Bangladesh, over 13 months (May 2019–June 2020). A total of 105 renal transplant recipients were included through purposive sampling. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected, including fasting lipid profiles, serum creatinine, fasting blood glucose, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), CRP, and eGFR (calculated using the MDRD equation). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v16, applying Chi-square tests to evaluate associations between dyslipidemia and renal risk factors. Results: Among renal transplant recipients, 61.9% had elevated triglycerides, 53.3% had high LDL, 33.3% had elevated total cholesterol, and 61.0% had low HDL. The mean triglyceride level was 214.38 ± 128.33 mg/dL, and the mean LDL was 100.41 ± 36.31 mg/dL. Dyslipidemia was significantly associated with reduced eGFR (p=0.04), indicating a decline in renal graft function. Lower ApoA1 levels were significantly linked to elevated CRP (p=0.01) and reduced eGFR (p=0.043), while higher ApoB levels were also associated with reduced eGFR (p=0.038). Hypertriglyceridemia was significantly correlated with anemia (p=0.05). However, no significant associations were observed between lipid markers and proteinuria, hypertension, or diabetes. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia, particularly elevated triglycerides and low HDL levels, is significantly associated with reduced renal function and systemic inflammation in renal transplant recipients. Specific lipid markers, such as ApoA1 and ApoB, may play a critical role in predicting renal dysfunction and inflammatory status. Early detection and management of dyslipidemia may be crucial in preserving renal function and improving long-term transplant outcomes.

This topic is about “Lhashukgen,” who is also known as “sku rten pa”, basically a native Oracle of Monpa community of Arunachal Pradesh. It explores the whole concept of a local Oracle in Monpa Community, his works, his nature, his importance in monpa community etc. This topic also attempts to understand the genealogy and origin of institution of sku ten pa. It also explores the full process and step through which one becomes an Oracle being chosen by the deity and how it becomes hereditary in nature. It also tells that why being chosen by deity one cannot refuse to become an Oracle. Given the limited availability of written records, my research on this topic was largely based on oral sources and accounts. Although there are some books available on Oracle, they are primarily based on the Oracle of either Tibet or of other areas.

Background: This study investigates hairline patterns among the Etche people in Rivers State, Nigeria, with a focus on the distribution and variation in hairline shapes, lengths, and widths. Materials and Methods: Using a descriptive research design, data were collected from 227 participants through anthropometric measurements using a digital vernier caliper and measuring tape, assessing patterns by gender, age, and marital status. Results and Discussion: The results revealed that the most common hairline type was straight-lined (34.4%), followed by bell-shaped (30.8%) and widow’s peak (30%). The least common hairline patterns were low and high hairlines, each observed in only 0.4% of participants. The average hairline length and width were 61.98 mm and 293.89 mm, respectively, with males displaying longer and wider hairlines compared to females. Singles also showed greater hairline dimensions compared to married individuals. Conclusion: No significant variation was found in hairline characteristics by religious affiliation. These findings contribute valuable anthropometric data on the Etche population and highlight the role of genetic and environmental factors in shaping craniofacial features. The study fills a gap in anthropometric literature and provides a foundation for further genetic, medical, and cultural studies on Nigerian ethnic groups.
