Background: Chitin and chitosan from the exoskeleton of horseshoe crab was reported to have a comparable quality to commercial chitosan. It would become a good alternative for the existing chitosan in the market. Nonetheless, inefficient isolation processes could lead to a waste to this invaluable raw material and incur additional cost. Chitosan is

Being a component of crustacean’s exoskeleton, chitin is one of main carbohydrate found on earth. Its derivative, chitosan can be isolated through deacetylation process of chitin. Due to their potential in pharmaceutical field, this study is using chitin and chitosan isolated from horseshoe crab to be tested on zebrafish (Danio rerio) developing

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of an educational intervention on attitudes toward organ donation among HCWs. Methods. A questionnaire-based interventional study was conducted with 458 HCW from 5 hospitals in Malaysia. A 26-

RNA in plasma samples are known to exist in marginal amount, contributing to difficulties in obtaining favourable RNA results for downstream applications. Thereby, numerous plasma RNA extraction protocols that utilized different solutions were implemented. These protocols are frequently comparable with slight differences in the parameters especiall

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the emotional state of stress and coping strategies in newly-diagnosed hypertension in young adults (YOH) according to the presence of emotional stress symptoms. Methods: In a cross-sectional study in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia, we evaluated one hundred and fifteen individuals aged between 18 to 45 years. In

Early-life breastfeeding practice provides multiple advantages to infant subsequently contributing to significant short- as well as long-term positive health outcomes. The current notion suggested that in the first 1000 days of life, infant’s body is susceptible to external factors and highly inducible towards complex repertoire of components ori
