Background: Tuberculosis is still a global health problem. Most common presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is tuberculous lymphadenitis. In our setting, keeping huge burden of tuberculosis in mind, clinicians have to depend on pathological diagnosis of enlarged lymph nodes, i.e., cytomorphology with acid-fast staining in diagnosing these cases so that diagnosis and...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality worldwide. Acute exacerbation is an acute and sustained worsening of a patient’s condition from a stable state and it is associated with significant electrolyte disturbances. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of electrolyte...
Introduction: Exercise tolerance test (ETT) is an established screening test for coronary artery disease (CAD), but not feasible in 30−40% of patients. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is an excellent alternative. Traditionally, inducible worsening of wall motion by 1 grade from baseline provides an index of CAD; worsening by 2 grade or more theoretically represents a...
Background: Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was first described as a diagnostic technique, now-a-days we mainly do ERCP with a therapeutic intent for management of various biliary and pancreatic diseases. Objectives: This study intends to find out the diagnosis obtained by ERCP procedure and the therapeutic interventions done for appropriate cases...

Background: Myeloma, the most common malignant disease of bone, is incurable and occurring with increasing frequency in elderly population. Typical clinical features are weakness, fatigability, bone pain, anemia, renal insufficiency and hypercalcemia. Incidental discovery on comprehensive laboratory panels is common. Serum or urine protein electrophoresis or immunofixation and...
Background: Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin are two widely used HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). These are used as lipid-lowering drugs to reduce atherosclerosis-induced cardiovascular events. The beneficial effects of statins also involve some lipid-independent mechanisms which include modification of thrombus formation and degradation, alteration in inflammatory response...
Background: Bangladesh is an agriculture-dependent country. Organophosphorus insecticides are widely used for the better outcome of cultivation. It is used for suicidal purpose due to its easy availability all over the country. Worldwide, acute pesticide poisoning is causing major health problems with high mortality in developing countries.Objective: The objective of our study...
Background: Fibrocystic breast condition is a common, non-cancerous condition that affects premenopausal woman between 20 and 50 years of age. Because of non-specific nature of clinical presentation, diagnosis is not that easy. Linear array sonography has been helpful for detection of mammary dysplasia.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity...
