North Atlantic forcing of Indian Winter Monsoon intensification
The teleconnection between the Asian monsoon system and North Atlantic forcing is an enduring prospect of the Earth’s climate. During the Holocene interstadial, the Indian summer monsoon showed asynchronous weakening links to ice rafting events documented in the North Atlantic region. However, the sensitivity of the Indian Winter Monsoon in response to North Atlantic cold spells is unclear due to a lack of compelling evidence. This study aims to …
Quality of Life and Symptom Burden among Chronic Kidney Disease of Uncertain Etiology (CKDu) Patients in Girandurukotte, Sri Lanka
Symptom burden and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) are important predictors of how a disease affects patients' lives, especially for endemic health problems such as chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu). Our study describes symptom burden, HRQOL, and associated demographic and clinical variables in CKDu patients in the Girandurukotte area, Sri Lanka. A cross-sectional study included 120 CKDu patients attending the renal clini…
Assessment of Nutritional Status and Dietary Pattern of a Rural Adult Population in Dry Zone, Sri Lanka
The objective of this work was to describe average dietary intake, physical activity (PA) and nutritional status of the adult population of Girandurukotte, Sri Lanka. A cross-sectional survey, including one 24-h dietary recall, international physical activity questionnaire and anthropometric measurements was conducted in a representative sample of 120 adults. Mean (SD) for body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR) …
Kidney progression project (KiPP)
Over the last two decades, a global epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) has emerged in rural, arid, agricultural, lowland areas. Endemic regions have reported 15 to 20% prevalence among residents aged 30-60 years. CKDu is a progressive and irreversible disease resulting in renal failure and death in the absence of dialysis or a kidney transplant. While much of the research has focused on identifying etiology, this projec…
The iodine cycle in the tropical environment — implications on iodine deficiency disorders
Iodine deficiency disorders are a major health problem in a large number of countries most of which lie within the tropical environment. Even though iodine may be abundant in the surface environment, its low bioavailability is the key issue that governs the incidence of IDD. In view of the intense rainfall in the tropical environment, rock weathering with accompanying clay formation and soil leaching is markedly high. Clayey matter and humic subs…
