BACKGROUND: The diagnostic pathway is critical for early breast cancer detection and prognosis improvement. Countries such as the United Kingdom, particularly England, have implemented faster diagnosis standards to ensure that patients receive a definitive diagnosis of cancer or are ruled out within 28 days of referral. However, there is a severe s

Cost overrun is a common problem in the construction industry. Cost overrun occurs when the actual cost exceeds the budgeted, estimated, original, or target cost. Implementing cost control is complicated since it must evaluate many things, such as budget, project cash flow, cost performance, and others. In road construction projects, cost overrun i

Introduction: Awareness of breast cancer symptoms has made a positive impact on recognition and screening, however there is little research describing how women interpret their bodily changes. This study was conducted to explore how Malaysian women with breast cancer appraise their symptoms and how their interpretation of the symptoms had been shap

Background: Early detection of bacterial coinfection in severe dengue remains challenging. Point-of-care (POC) procalcitonin (PCT) may be used for this role, but it needs to be investigated. We evaluated the performance of POC PCT for early detection of bacterial coinfection in patients with severe dengue admitted to the intensive care units (ICU).

Introduction Vertigo, or the perception of a spinning sensation, is a common symptom experienced by patients who are referred to Otorhinolaryngology clinics. Betahistine is a medication that has been widely used to treat vertigo and its accompanying symptoms. However, the effects of this medication on the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) are still unk

Objective: This study aims to find the association of fractured orbital walls with other possible fractures reported in the maxillofacial trauma cases in the Oral Maxillofacial Clinic Oral Maxillofacial ward, Hospital USM Kelantan, Malaysia. Materials and methods: From 2013 to June 2018, records of patients who sustained maxillofacial fractures and

This paper involves the design and realization of a new planar microstrip parallel L-shaped multi-resonator (PLMR) for the chipless radio frequency identification (CRFID) that works in ultra-wide band (UWB) frequency region. The proposed PLMR has identifying (IDing) and sensing capabilities to work as a tag-sensor. The PLMR works within 5.36 GHz â€

Conventional or hospital treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy is widely recommended by health care providers for treating breast cancer. However, there is an inadequate understanding of early decision about conventional treatment in Malaysia. This study aimed to explore the early decision about breast cancer treatment among the w

Moringa Oleifera (MO) seeds are widely explored plant for bio coagulant extraction generating waste seed shells. This study aims to synthesize natural adsorbent from MO seed shells with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and test its ability for CO2 adsorption. After oven drying, chemical activation was carried out with impregnation ratios of 1:1, 2:1 and 3

This chapter discusses the promising green nanomaterials synthesis for 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol ester (3-MCPDE) reduction. Toxic chemicals such as 3-MCPDE are classified as potential carcinogen and have been shown to affect kidney function and male fertility. It was reported to be found in food such as soy sauce, bread and baby milk formula. More r
