Indexed Does Not Mean International: Perspectives for Bangladesh Medical Publishing
*Talukder SI

In more than 25 years of editing medical journal articles, a persistent challenge has been misconceptions regarding journal classification—especially what distinguishes a national journal from an international one, and how indexing relates to academic evaluation. This issue is particularly relevant in Bangladesh, where academic promotion and research assessment are guided by the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BMDC) and university authorities.
A national journal is typically published by a local institution or professional body, with editorial leadership, authorship, and readership predominantly drawn from within the country. Such journals play an essential role in strengthening national research capacity and professional discourse. An international journal, however, is characterized by sustained global engagement, including multinational authorship, an internationally representative editorial board, a research scope extending beyond national boundaries, and consistent visibility in major international indexing databases.

Indexing services are often mistakenly interpreted as indicators of international status. PubMed functions as a search interface that includes citations from MEDLINE and other sources, whereas MEDLINE is a selectively curated database maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine through a rigorous evaluation process. Inclusion in MEDLINE reflects editorial quality and scientific merit, but it does not automatically confer international status if the journal’s scope and participation remain primarily national.

Similarly, Crossref provides Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to ensure persistent article identification and citation linking. While DOI assignment is an important technical standard, Crossref does not evaluate peer-review quality, editorial independence, or international reach. Databases such as Scopus and Web of Science apply structured selection criteria and are frequently used by universities as indicators of broader international visibility.

In Bangladesh, the BMDC recognizes a number of medical journals published by medical colleges, universities, and professional societies for academic purposes. BMDC recognition confirms acceptability for professional and academic evaluation but does not imply international indexing or global scope. Confusion arises when indexing status, recognition, and international classification are treated as interchangeable, leading to inconsistent academic judgments.

In conclusion, indexing and international status are related but distinct concepts. PubMed/MEDLINE indexing reflects editorial and scientific standards; Crossref indexing reflects technical publishing infrastructure; and true international status reflects global participation and reach. Clear understanding of these distinctions is essential for fair academic assessment, responsible editorial practice, and alignment with BMDC and university promotion policies.

Pattern of Blood Culture Positivity and Associated Clinical Characteristics in Febrile Neutropenic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
*Rahman M,1 Sultana R,2 Pinki SN,3 Azad MK,4 Hassan MK,5 Sharmeen Lipi SS6

Abstract
Background: Febrile neutropenia constitutes a medical emergency due to the heightened risk of bloodstream infection and rapid clinical deterioration. Patterns of causative organisms vary across institutions, underscoring the importance of local epidemiological data to guide empirical therapy.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the pattern of blood culture positivity and its association with clinical characteristics among febrile neutropenic adults.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 50 adult patients with documented febrile neutropenia admitted to a Tertiary Hospital from October 2022 to September 2023. Blood samples were obtained under aseptic conditions and processed for aerobic culture. Clinical and hematologic parameters were recorded using a structured data sheet. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, with significance set at p<0.05.
Results: Blood cultures were positive in 15 patients (30%). Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 53.3% of isolates, with Staphylococcus epidermidis being the most frequent pathogen. Gram-negative organisms represented 46.7% of isolates, predominantly Pseudomonas aeruginosa. No significant associations were observed between culture positivity and age, gender, fever duration, temperature, hemoglobin, WBC, ANC, platelet count, or ESR. Patients receiving chemotherapy showed no significant difference in positivity rate compared to those not receiving chemotherapy. All Gram-positive isolates were fully sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid, whereas Gram-negative isolates showed inconsistent susceptibility patterns to carbapenems and antipseudomonal antibiotics.
Conclusion: In febrile neutropenic patients, Gram-positive bacteria were the leading cause of bloodstream infections, although Gram-negative pathogens continued to play a significant clinical role. These findings highlight the need for institution-specific surveillance to guide empirical antibiotic therapy.

Adenoid Hypertrophy: Correlation between Clinical and Radiological Findings
*Haque MA,1 Asad MK,2 Mahmud M,3 Islam MR,4 Islam MM,5 Akanda MH,6 Reza SS7

Abstract
Background: Adenoids, part of Waldeyer’s ring, play a key role in immune defense. Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is a common pediatric condition that can cause otitis media, sleep apnoea, cognitive and craniofacial complications if untreated. As the nasopharynx is not directly visible, AH is commonly assessed using clinical and radiological methods.
Objective: To determine the correlation between clinical assessment and grading of AH with radiographic findings in children diagnosed with AH.
Methods: This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chattogram, Bangladesh, from June 2022 to August 2023. Fifty pediatric patients with adenoid hypertrophy were selected consecutively using purposive sampling. Clinical scoring of mouth breathing/dyspnoea, sleep apnoea, and snoring was categorized as mild, moderate, or severe and compared with lateral nasopharyngeal radiographs assessed by Fujioka and Cohen methods. Data were analyzed in SPSS v26, with results expressed as mean ± SD, frequency, and percentage, and associations tested using ANOVA (P < 0.05).
Results: Among 50 children with adenoid hypertrophy (mean age 5.94 ± 0.72 years; 78% male), common clinical features were mouth breathing/dyspnoea (62%), snoring (58%), and apnoea (76%). Fujioka ANR ratios were mild 10%, moderate 58%, severe 32%, correlating with clinical severity (P = 0.0017; ROC cut-off 0.61: 76% sensitivity, 79% specificity). Cohen AC:SP ratios were mild 14%, moderate 62%, severe 24%, also correlating with clinical grading (P = 0.0261; ROC cut-off 0.66: 68% sensitivity, 57% specificity). Fujioka method showed higher reliability than Cohen.
Conclusion: Lateral radiographs of the nasopharynx are reliable and valid for evaluating children with AH in accordance with their clinical symptoms or grading. A strong correlation between clinical scores and radiological findings was observed. The Fujioka method demonstrated better accuracy than the Cohen method in terms of diagnostic validity and reliability.

Postoperative Complications of Mastoid Surgery: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Mahdee SN,1 Efa SS,2 Kali F,3 *Nurunnabi M4

Abstract
Background: Mastoid surgery is a common procedure in otolaryngology, but postoperative complications can occur, affecting patient outcomes. Evaluating the incidence and clinical profile of these complications is essential for improving surgical care.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and types of complications following mastoidectomy.
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery at Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet, from December 2014 to May 2015. All patients undergoing mastoid surgery during the study period were included using purposive sampling, excluding those with previous mastoid surgery, pre-existing middle ear complications, or unwillingness to participate. Mastoid surgeries included cortical, modified radical and radical mastoidectomies.
Results: Postoperative complications occurred in 7 patients (14%). Complications were more frequent in younger patients, with a mean age of 16.8±10.9 years. Minor complications (71.4%) were more common than major complications (28.6%). Modified radical mastoidectomy was the most performed procedure (84%), followed by radical (12%) and cortical mastoidectomy (4%). Complications were highest after radical mastoidectomy (33.3%). Specific complications included wound infection/gap (8%), meatal stenosis (4%), and major complications such as facial nerve paralysis, meningitis, and minor dural injury (2% each). Follow-up showed that most patients were complication-free at 1 week (88%), while 3-month follow-up indicated dry cavities (14%), discharging cavities (20%), and meatal stenosis (4%), with 64% lost to follow-up.
Conclusion: Postoperative complications after mastoidectomy were relatively low and mostly minor. Younger patients and more extensive surgeries had higher complication rates, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and follow-up.

Clinicopathological Characteristics of Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer among Young Adults in Northeast Bangladesh: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Alam MI,1 Hoque N,2 Husna MA,3 *Nurunnabi M4

Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC), historically predominant in older populations, is increasingly identified in individuals below 50 years of age, a subset classified as early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), which frequently presents with advanced-stage disease and distinct clinicopathological features in young adults.
Objective: To observe the demographic, clinical, and pathological characteristics, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of EOCRC in young adults in Northeast Bangladesh.
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Clinical Oncology, Mount Adora Hospital, Sylhet, from July 2023 to December 2024. Patients were purposively selected, and data were extracted from hospital records. The study included 112 histopathologically confirmed colorectal cancer patients aged 18-40 years, with information on demographics, family history, clinical presentation, tumor characteristics, tumor markers, treatments, and treatment response analyzed.
Results: The mean age of EOCRC patient’s was 32.8±3.2 years; 68.0% were male, and 71.0% resided in urban areas. Obesity (34.0%) and smoking (24.0%) were the most common risk factors, while family history (13.0%) and inflammatory bowel disease (9.0%) were less frequent. The leading symptoms were combined per-rectal bleeding and abdominal pain (77.7%), generalized weakness with anorexia and pallor (59.8%), rectal bleeding (50.0%), and altered bowel habits (42.9%). The rectum was the predominant tumor site (51.0%), followed by the distal colon (33.0%). Most tumors were adenocarcinoma NOS/Grade 1–2 (66.0%), and the majority presented at Stage III (58.0%). Total neoadjuvant therapy was the most common treatment (48.0%). Partial and complete responses were observed in 39.0% and 27.0% of patients, respectively, while 13.0% showed disease progression.
Conclusion: Young adults with EOCRC in Sylhet frequently present with advanced-stage, distal tumors and exhibit modifiable lifestyle risk factors such as obesity and smoking. Early recognition and targeted interventions are critical to improve outcomes in this population.

Histopathological Changes of the Preputial Mucosa Due to Retained Smegma
*Shimon MH,1 Amin MR,2 Sikdar K,3 Aktar M4

Abstract
Background: The smegma is cheese-like sebaceous matter which is a combination of shedded skin cells, skin oils and moistures. When the foreskin is not retractable, smegma can accumulate between the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans and looks like a yellowish-white, clearly defined, soft mass called smegma cyst which causes irritation. These chronic irritations may be injurious to cells and causes histological changes in preputial epithelium. This substance has been linked to penile cancer, although a clear etiology has not been established.
Purpose: To assess the histopathological changes of preputial mucosa due to presence of retained smegma in children.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Bangladesh Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from March, 2021 to August, 2022. Samples were collected purposively. Proper clinical history, physical examination and initial investigation reports were recorded in a standard data sheet. Total 34 patients with smegmal cyst have been assessed by histopathological examination after circumcision. Histopathological reports were analyzed to asses the changes of preputial mucosa due to retained smegma. Data processing and analysis was performed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software.
Results: Out of 34 patients, 17 were in 5-8 years age group and mean age (±SD) was 5.27 ± 2.60 years. Highest 10 patients had retained smegma for 6 months, 8 patients for 5 months and 4 patients for 3 months with mean 4.73 ± 1.52 months. Overall histopathological change occurred in 25 patients and mean (±SD) was 5.40 ± 1.12. Among them cellular atrophy occurred in 22 patients and ulceration occurred in 3 patients. Duration of retained smegma in relation with histopathological changes had positive correlation. Overall changes occurred in 25 patients, mean was 5.40 ± 1.12. Cellular atrophy was present in 22 patients, mean of 5.50 ± 0.86. Ulceration was present in 3 patients, with a mean of 6.67 ± 0.58. Dysplasia was present in 1 patient, mean was 5.0. Koilocytic changes present in 2 patients, mean was 4.0 ± 2.83.
Conclusion: Retained smegma has an injurious effect at the cellular level. Majority of histopathological changes seen in cell cytoplasm. The changes are in the form of atrophy of cells, ulceration and koilocytic changes.
