Assessing the feasibility and appropriateness of verbal autopsy using contact information of the deceased from burial records in urban Bangladesh
Background: Bangladesh faces significant challenges in accurately documenting causes of death (COD), largely due to incomplete vital registration systems, which lack COD reporting. A substantial number of deaths occur outside health facilities, often without medical certification, leading to further gaps in mortality data. Verbal autopsy (VA) has emerged as a viable method in low-resource settings to bridge this gap. We aimed to explore the feasi…

The high prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension in Bangladesh underscores the need for improved treatment strategies. Addressing medication adherence is essential for better BP control, with particular attention needed for women, rural residents, and newly diagnosed individuals. A comprehensive approach is warranted, including strategies to enhance adherence, early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and simplified medication regimens. These effo…
Prevalence and factors associated with insomnia among firefighting personnel in Dhaka division, Bangladesh
The present study revealed that nearly one-fourth of firefighting staff working in the Dhaka division experienced moderate to severe insomnia.

The findings of this study highlight the need for sleep health promotion programs in firefighting staff
Factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among the male rice farmers
Rice farming involves repetitive tasks, heavy loads, and prolonged static postures that increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Evidence on MSDs among Bangladeshi rice farmers is limited. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study among 340 male rice farmers aged 18–65 years from five purposively selected districts in the Dhaka division. Trained interviewers administered a structured questionnaire and the Bengali-translated N…
Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics in Personalized Autism Treatment through Stem Cell Therapy

To improve immunization coverage for Bangladeshi children, policymakers must integrate vaccine programs, paying special attention to mothers without at least a high school education and families with low wealth index. Increased antenatal care visits may also aid in increasing the immunization coverage of their children
Developing Predictive AI Models for Securing U.S. Critical Infrastructure Against Emerging Cyber Threats
Smart grids (SGs) have emerged in the United States as part of the effort to modernize the nation’s aging electricity infrastructure. While existing cybersecurity tools are generally effective at detecting and preventing known threats, they fall short in addressing the growing complexity of advanced cyberattacks. Ensuring robust protection for the U.S. smart grid requires a comprehensive approach that integrates advanced technologies and proactiv…
Hypertension and undiagnosed hypertension among Bangladeshi adults
Background: Although undiagnosed hypertension (HTN) is a serious concern worldwide, it is less of an importance in Bangladesh, where there is a dearth of research on the subject. So, we aimed to identify the prevalence and associated factors for diagnosed and undiagnosed HTN. Methods: We analyzed the recent 2017-2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data. We included 11,981 participants aged 18 years and above for the analysis. The preval…
