Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-COV2, represents a highly transmissible and potentially fatal disease that is of great global public health concern at this moment. The pandemic situation in Bangladesh is also evolving rapidly with positive cases and deaths increasing each day.
General Objective: To determine the frequency of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with flu syndrome, to evaluate the clinical and laboratory predictors of COVID-19 progression and to identify the factors associated with adverse maternal and perinatal / neonatal outcomes in six
INTRODUCTION Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive and hardly reversible obstruction of the airways, which basically affects the small airways (chronic obstructive bronchiolitis), variably associated with destruction of the pulmonary parenchyma (emphysema). 10%
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is defined as an anatomical support defect of the pelvic viscera. Women`s POP is the descent of uterus or vaginal apex with or without concomitant descent of the anterior (cystocele) or posterior (rectocele) vaginal wall. It is estimated that the lifetime risk of POP
Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/ [height (m)] 2) of 30 or greater, is a common medical comorbidity of pregnancy affecting one third of reproductive-aged women. Maternal obesity is also a well-recognized risk factor for dysfunctional labor and cesarean delivery
Background Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are known to be at risk for thrombo-embolic events. Virchow's triad describes the major risk factors in three categories: venous stasis, vessel injury and activation of blood coagulation. A prolonged mechanical ventilation together with

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the largest cause of global mortality accounting for over twenty-nine percent of all deaths with coronary heart disease and stroke projected to become the global leading causes of mortality by 2020. Increased mortality represents only one side of the problem since the
Cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin, is widely prescribed for the treatment of serious bacterial infections. Cefepime has a more narrow spectrum and has relatively lower minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values compared to meropenem. Therefore cefepime is widely endorsed, and preferred
Surgical site infections (SSI) are among the most common complications to develop following peripheral vascular surgery and increase the patient's risk for major amputation, graft failure and increase healthcare resource utilization. SSI are defined by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as
