A mosquito is a prehistoric arthropod that persists globally. Among the 3,500 mosquito species that exist, humans are at risk from the Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex genera. Zika, dengue, malaria, filaria, and chikungunya are mosquito-borne diseases. In the monsoon, the prevalence of dengue fever becomes high in Bangladesh. The hill tract districts are malaria prone areas, and the northern part is filaria prone.

Exposure to air pollution known as fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with an increased risk of having a cluster of multiple chronic diseases, according to a new study published recently in the journal PLOS Global Public Health.

COVID- 19 vaccines reduced the potential global pandemic death toll by more than half in the year after their implementation, a study estimates.

Lung biopsies showed this pathology in four e-cigarette users. Electronic cigarette or vaping–associated lung injury (EVALI) is a well-described acute condition, but we know little about its long-term repercussions.

Summer brings dehydration, sunburn, and skin concerns. So, during this season, drink plenty of water. Here are some ways to stay cool and hydrated.

Two patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (disease affecting the central nervous system that causes tremors, slow movements, stiffness, and walking problems) and one with generalised Dystonia (muscles contract involuntarily, causing repetitive movements) underwent successful Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgeries in Dhaka, Bangladesh - says a press release.

Designing drugs that target proteins requires knowing the three-dimensional (3D) shape of the target protein and creating a drug whose shape binds to that target protein. As of June 2021, research had only determined the shape of one-third of human proteins. Then, in July 2021, two groups used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the shape of nearly every human protein from nucleic acid sequences.

According to a new World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report, more than 2.5 billion people need wheelchairs, hearing aids, or apps that support communication and cognition. Access to these life-changing products is as low as 3% in low- and middle-income countries.

The new report updated in The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, states that although the number of deaths from pollution sources associated with extreme poverty (such as indoor air pollution and water pollution) has decreased, these reductions are offset by increased deaths attributable to industrial pollution (such as ambient air pollution and chemical pollution). Low- and middle-income countries suffer the most from pollution’s health effects.

A new study published in The Lancet estimates that Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-attributable acute lower respiratory infection was responsible for more than 100,000 deaths in children under five globally in 2019.

The primary goal of the Drinking Water Quality Guidelines is to protect public health. The Guidelines contain the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) recommendations for managing the risk of hazards that may jeopardise drinking water safety.

Many studies show a general association between greater physical activity and a lower risk for depression. In this meta-analysis, researchers sought to quantify a dose-response relation by evaluating 15 observational studies (190,000 participants with follow-up ranging from 3 to 25 years) with a wide range of activity level measures that could be harmonised into a single measure of marginal metabolic equivalent task hours per week (mMET-h/wk).

Among different types of cancers worldwide, pancreatic cancer holds 11th position (only 3%). However, no matter how rare this is, pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers.

Despite recent progress, the world is on track to miss its child and adolescent health targets, with over 8.6 million deaths expected in 2019. Children and adolescents need comprehensive, coordinated care from conception to adulthood, according to a new Lancet Series.
