Presoaking with BSS used for thin manually dissected DSEK (TMDSEK): a viable option for thin DSEK
No full textAim To describe a novel technique for the safe manual dissection of thin donor lenticules in 10 consecutive patients undergoing DSEK surgery.MethodsA key element of our new technique was to presoak the donor cornea in balanced salt solution (BSS) for 30?min before manual dissection. The cornea was placed on an artificial anterior chamber and pressure in the chamber was maintained at 80?mm?Hg. The limbus of the donor cornea was incised to the same depth as the central corneal thickness. Lamellar dissection was started with the short side of the Morlet dissector (Duckworth & Kent Ltd) and completed using the lamellar (less sharp) end of the Morlet dissector. Outcomes of 10 consecutive cases of thin manually dissected DSEK (TMDSEK) were prospectively analysed for thickness and visual outcome.ResultsMean graft thicknesses measured less than 100??m at 1 month post surgery (mean thickness 90.7??m, range 48-137??m, SD 29.96??m). Presoaked donor corneal pachymetry was strongly negatively correlated with graft thickness (correlation r=-0.75, P<0.05).DiscussionOur dissection technique achieves consistently thin endothelial donor corneal grafts that can be safely produced with minimal financial investment and no limitations on surgical time. This technique is likely to be of significant importance for a large proportion of the eye centres where microkeratomes may not be routinely availabl
Recent changes in ecosystem services and human well-being in the Bangladesh coastal zone
Get PDFThis study takes an historical approach in order to establish how the form and function of the social-ecological system that represents the Bangladesh south-western coastal zone has changed over recent decades. Time series data for a range of ecosystem services and drivers are analysed to define the range of trends, the presence of change points, slow and fast variables and the significant drivers of change. Since the 1980s, increasing gross domestic product and per capita income mirror rising levels of food and inland fish production. As a result, the size of population below the poverty line has reduced by ~17 %. In contrast, non-food ecosystem services such as water availability, water quality and land stability have deteriorated. Conversion of rice fields to shrimp farms is almost certainly a factor in increasing soil and surface water salinity. Most of the services experienced statistically significant change points between 1975 and 1980, and among the services, water availability, shrimp farming and maintenance of biodiversity appear to have passed tipping points. An environmental Kuznets curve analysis suggests that the point at which growing economic wealth feeds back into effective environmental protection has not yet been reached for water resources. Trends in indicators of ecosystem services and human well-being point to widespread non-stationary dynamics governed by slowly changing variables with an increased likelihood of systemic threshold changes/tipping points in the near future. The results will feed into simulation models and strategies that can define alternative and sustainable paths for land management
Ready-made garments sector of Bangladesh and Covid-19 impact : Stitching for a better future
Get PDFDiscussion of growth-drivers in the context of Bangladesh is a deprived part of the Ready-Made Garments (RMG) sector of the country. Approximately 84% of overall exports in Bangladesh is constituted by the RMG sector and about 3.5 million people are employed in this sector.
Globally, Bangladesh has been one of the major players of the RMG market for many years. It has already been suffering from some issues and on top of that COVID-19 pandemic came as a shock for this sector. The sector now looks beyond recovery and towards competitiveness for a sustainable foundation.
This study had the privileges to deal with the shortcomings and opportunities of the RMG sector of Bangladesh and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on this sector. It is mainly a qualitative study and was conducted by analysing various resources and data that are already published.
The whole discussion concluded with some necessary recommendations for a better prospect of this sector. The result suggests some necessary measures to be taken by the government and the stake-holders of the industry for stitching a better future

Introduction
No full textIn 2000, Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, MP during the end of her first term (1996–2001), conceived a long-term development agenda for Bangladesh called “Vision 2021”.We organized an international conference on 14 April 2001 supported by the University of Hull, UK; Dhaka University, Bangladesh; and Griffith University, Australia, covering the most important development goals of “Vision 2021” with a view to recommend to the future Governments of Bangladesh a set of development targets for the nation achieved by 2021.Out of this conference proceedings, a volume was published in 2003 (Hossain et al.2003).The volume was reviewed in several outlets at home and abroad including the prestigious Journal of International Development based in the United Kingdom in 2005.The “Vision 2021” agenda among others addresses the following development issues: Is Bangladesh likely to be free from poverty by 2021, the nation's golden jubilee of independence? Is Bangladesh likely to become middle-level industrialized nation by 2021? What changes need to occur and what institutions need to be in place to achieve the goals of the “Vision 2021”? Time has arrived in 2018 to examine the reality of the “Vision 2021”.The present volume has examined the realities in a conference, once again, held in Dhaka entitled, “Pathways to a Sustainable Economy: Vision 2041 Agenda for Bangladesh” on 30 October 2018.Once again, Sheikh Hasina, during her third term as PM, put forward the “Vision 2041” with a view to investigate the overall economic development of the nation against the backdrop of achievements and realities of “Vision 2021” over the last two decades.This monograph is one of the three that has been designed out of the international conference held over three days in Dhaka in 2018.No Full Tex
