Essential thrombocythemia is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms. Palpable purpura is a rare manifestation that may delay diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of essential thrombocythemia in a 50-year-old man, who presented with recurrent thigh pain for the past one year with nonspecific localized purpura. His full blood count revealed iso

Current data shows an increment of the NCDs and its modifiable risk factors, resulting in an increasing number of related deaths. We sought to measure the proportion of adults with NCDs and its modifiable risk factors among resi- dents of FELDA Lepar Hilir 1, Kuantan, Pahang. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 216 consented adults aged 18

Fasting in Ramadhan is a religious obligation for every Muslim with its well-known good benefits for health.1 However, there is no specific guideline in terms of precaution for patients at risk to develop nephrolithiasis.  Nephrolithiasis and acute kidney injury may occur concomitantly due to its common risk factors which is dehydration. Poor or

 Patient satisfaction is of increasing importance and recognized as an important indicator for quality of care. It is influenced by the patients, physicians and practice's characteristics. 1,2  The literature on diabetes has increasingly focused on the quality of care and its measurement. Long waiting time is a common issue brought up by

 Lung carcinoma typically presents with haemoptysis and constitutional symptoms on a background history of chronic cigarette smoking.  A chest X-ray can pick up these lesions in view of its radio-opacity and nodular appearances that are manifested in more than 90% of cases.1  However it can be mistakenly interpreted as normal if it is obsc

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms which typically presents with thrombotic vasomotor symptoms or bleeding tendencies. Papular rash is a rare manifestation of ET and may cause delay in making the diagnosis and hence institution of the treatment. We report a case of ET in a 50- year-old gentleman, who presented

Introduction • Acetabular surgery is known for its complexity • It requires high level of expertise and ideally done at a specialized trauma centre • Anterior approach in acetabular surgery is done via • Classical ilioinguinal approach • Modified stoppa approachAdvantages of modified stoppa approach versus ilioinguinal approach in treatin

Porous aluminum (Al) composites are lightweight and high-strength materials composing of Al as a matrix material with some strengthening reinforcements and pore-forming agents that result in the formation of new material with superior physical properties and energy absorption capacities. This work gives an overview of the porous Al-foams developed

Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) have been extensively studied primarily due to higher strength-to-weight ratio, lower cost, and higher wear resistance properties. However, increasing demand for economical and energy-efficient materials in the automotive, aerospace and other applications is tailoring research area in the agro-based composite mater

The algorithmic dilemma that we are in right now is severe than what we really think. It has changed its shape from a smart assistant to an uncontrollable dictator; to an independent troublemaker that can systematically crush one’s everything, and I do not really know what that everything is since everything has now become unpredictable. Even whe
