Purpose: Insulin resistance is a characteristic of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus associated with obesity and caused by the failure of pancreatic beta cells to secrete sufficient amount of insulin. Andrographolide (AND) improves beta-cell reconstruction and inhibits fat- cell formation. This research aimed to improve the delivery of water-

This study briefly reviews the recent advances in membrane and separation technology for antifouling strategies for membrane ultrafiltration. Membrane fouling is inevitable in ultrafiltration due to the eventual membrane pore blockage with foulants. Consequently, flux declines and affects the membrane integrity over time along with elevation in pro

The data presented here is the liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) profile of phytochemical com- pounds in the aqueous extract of Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp. leaves. This plant is consumed raw and some- times added to local dishes of people in Southeast Asia coun- tries. Most importantly, it has ethnomedicinal values mainly in

BACKGROUND: Predictive equations (PEs) for estimating resting energy expenditure (REE) that have been developed from acute phase data may not be applicable in the late phase and vice versa. This study aimed to assess whether separate PEs are needed for acute and late phases of critical illness and to develop and validate PE(s) based on the results

Over the years, rapid urbanisation aided with advanced technologies and population increment has altered the natural environment into concrete jungles resulting in significant environmental degradation. In order to mould a sustainable, resilient and green future, global efforts and directive have been introduced, such as the 17 Sustainable Developm

Melalui sampel seorang pesakit di Wuhan, saintis menerusi kaedah penjujukan generasi baharu memperoleh jujukan lengkap asid deoksiribonukleik (DNA) genom virus SARS-Cov-2. Maklumat ini mendedahkan SARS-Cov-2 hampir menyamai virus terdapat pada kelawar (96 peratus) dan tenggiling (90 peratus). Berdasarkan maklumat protein pepaku (spike), SARS-CoV-2

The critical parameters namely initial pH, time and current density largely impact the process efficiency of electrocoagulation (EC). Few works have been done on observing the interaction of these critical parameters and the possible combined effect on the overall pollutant removal efficiency. Therefore, the knowledge of the combined effect of crit

Electrocoagulation (EC) is a sustainable wastewater treatment alternative that is widely studied because of its environmentally friendly nature, versatility, and simplicity in setup and operation. However, EC alone cannot treat wastewater up to reusable standards and requires integration with other processes, mostly by adding highly hazardous oxida
