TL;DR: A increased risk of stillbirth is associated with arsenic contamination, which is essentially preventable and all efforts must be made to protect women at high risk.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of arsenic contamination of water in hand-pump tubewells on pregnant women in Bangladesh and found evidence of increased risk of fetal and infant death.

TL;DR: Disabled elderly residents of Bangladesh were dependent on the family for help but, with family cohesiveness under threat from migration to the city, there is a pressing need for the development and critical evaluation of community-based interventions designed specifically for the elderly in poor rural societies.

TL;DR: The effect of arsenic on all-cause infant mortality, although small and not significant, was consistent with earlier reports and the previous finding of an increased risk of infant mortality at concentrations of manganese ≥0.4 mg/L was not evident.

TL;DR: Evaluated whether a group intervention that comprised pelvic floor muscle training, mobility exercises, and bladder education would be more effective than education alone, and report changes between villages (ie, clusters) rather than between individual participants.
