Intensive previous studies on horseshoe crabs feeding ecology were mostly focus on Limulus polyphemus. Their food preference might be different depend on the availability and abundance of feeds in the particular environment. This paper aims to investigate the feeding ecology and food preferences of Cherok Paloh, Pahang Tachypleus gigas. Ten samples

Introduction: Urine output provides a rapid estimate for kidney function, and its use has been incorporated in the diagnosis of acute kidney injury. However, not many studies had validated its use compared to the plasma creatinine. It has been showed that the ideal urine output threshold for prediction of death or the need for dialysis was 0.3 ml/k

This present work reports on the study of controllable aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) patterning by chemical etching for MEMS application. The AZO thin film was prepared by RF magnetron sputtering as it is capable of producing uniform thin film at high deposition rates. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterization we

Background and Aims: About 50% of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit have systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and about 10%-20% of them died. Early risk stratification is important to reduce mortality. Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is increased by inflammation and infection. Its ability to predict mo

Accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in ICU patients is very important for institution of supportive therapy, preventive therapy, early renal support, drug dosing modification or avoidance of nephrotoxic drugs. Kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) takes into account the changes of creatinine over time, creatinine production rate, and

Introduction: Kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) is a more accurate estimate of GFR in the acute settings with rapidly changing kidney functions. It takes into account the changes of creatinine over time, creatinine production rate, and the volume of distribution, however needs serial measurement of creatinine. We evaluated which methods of the conven

The Oxford Dictionary3 defines 'remedy' as a medicine or treatment for a disease or injury but in the legal sense, it is a means of achieving justice in any matter in which legal rights are involved. A legal or judicial remedy is the vehicle for a court of law - usually in exercising civil law jurisdiction -- to enforce a right, charge a pe

One of the important aspects of Shariah is to achieve social justice. Zakat (tithe) institution assists those who are poor and needy within the beneficiaries (asnaf) which in turn enables the Shariah to achieve social justice. The institution has become integral part within Malaysian Muslim society whereby government has set up proper mechanism of

Seri Menanti is known as the Royal Town of Negeri Sembilan which is famous for its Minangkabau and Adat Perpatih cultures. This paper is about the study on the landscape identity of Seri Menanti Old Palace Garden and its impact towards Malay cultural heritage. The issue to be dealt with throughout this research is regarding to the existing landscap

There is increased prevalence of hypertensives among Malaysians in the last decade. The cost of antihypertensive agents is also escalating. There is a dire need for cheaper alternative drugs. In tropical regions, there have been claims that Eurycoma longifolia (EL) a local herbal plant is effective in obliterating headache and reducing blood pressu
