Perinatal inflammation, fetal growth restriction, and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment in Bangladesh
CONCLUSIONS: In rural Bangladesh, perinatal inflammation was associated with impaired neurodevelopment at 24 months. The associations were strongest among SGA infants and noted across several biomarkers and domains, supporting the neurobiological role of inflammation in adverse fetal development, particularly in the setting of fetal growth restriction.IMPACT: Cord blood inflammation was associated with fine motor and language delays at 24 months of age in a community-based cohort in rural Bangladesh. 23.4 million infants are born small-for-gestational-age (SGA) globally each year. Among SGA infants, the associations betwee...

Salt intake across the hypertension care cascade in the Bangladeshi adult population: a nationally representative cross-sectional study
Conclusions Individuals with hypertension consume significantly more salt than those without, with no significant variations in salt intake based on aware, treated and controlled hypertension. Adhering to WHO salt intake guidelines aids better blood pressure management. By addressing salt consumption across hypertension care cascade, substantial progress can be made in better blood pressure control. (Source: BMJ Open)

The IKAROS Transcription Factor Gene IKZF1 as a Critical Regulator in the Pathogenesis of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: Insights from a Bangladeshi Population
This study investigated whether two specific IKZF1 variants, rs10272724 (T > C) and rs4132601 (T > G), are potential risk factors for childhood ALL among Bangladeshi children. In this study, we found that ALL occurs with a significantly greater frequency in male children than in female children, shedding light on potential sex-specific susceptibility patterns. Subsequent association analyses u tilizing codominant, dominant, and recessive inheritance models demonstrated that rs10272724 is associated with a 2.36-fold increased risk of ALL development according to the codominant model, a 3.6-fold increased ri...
