Phonophobia and hyperacusis are two separate but closely related symptoms that are often mistakenly used in clinical practice as the same entity. Here we present a case report to highlight the distinguishing features of both and discuss the steps of management in these conditions. It is vital for the attending doctors to recognise hyperacusis and p

Salam 1 Malaysia The Audiology Unit, Department of ORL-HNS, International Islamic University Malaysia in collaboration with the MMA (Pahang branch) and the Kuantan Municipal Council had successfully organized a charity event called Kuantan Biggest Morning Tea. The event was held in Taman Gelora, Kuantan on 8/8/2010. The main aim was to promote and

Introduction: This chapter confines itself to strictly legal issues arising form the cases of Aishah Azmi and Shahina Begum, with some comments on the recent use of 'X' as well as, peripherally, some related aspects......

The aim of this study is to prepare a model for the production of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) lentogenic F strain using cell culture in bioreactor for live attenuated vaccine preparation. In this study, firstly we investigated the growth of Vero cells in several culture media. The maximum cell number was yielded by culture of Vero cells in Dulbec

Oil-laden spent bleaching clay (SBC) is currently under-utilized by dumping it in landfills without any attempt to recover the oil. Therefore, effort has been made to extract the waste oil using different solvents (methanol, ethanol, petroleum ether, and hexane), and utilize the oil in transesterification reaction. Cleaner oil (free from polar comp

Studying the influence of the operating parameters on membrane fouling is important in fouling control. This paper presents the interaction effects of the sludge retention time (SRT), organic loading rate (OLR) and feed temperature (Tf) on membrane fouling. A submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) was operated under a constant flux (11.1 l/m2 h), wit

In the title molecule, C21H24N2O3, the imidazole ring is essentially planar, with a maxium deviation of 0.015 (1) A ° . The dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 65.47 (6)�. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H� � �O and C—H� � �N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along the c axis.

In this paper, we propose a method that allows a hexapod robot to navigate omni-directionally with hexagonal structure. Typical body structures for hexapod robot are analyzed. Hexapod robot frequently navigates various directions over variety of surfaces. To enable locomotion in rough surface, hexapod must be able to stably move in any direction. A

In the title molecule, C20H22N2O2, the benzimidazole ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.024 (1) A ˚ . The dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzimidazole ring system is 43.71 (5)�. The atoms of the butyl group are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.900 (4) and 0.100 (4). In the crystal struc

In the hospital building, where patients sick medical treatment and hospital staff (doctors and nurses) provide continuous support, creating a healing environment is an imperative. A majority of literature on the healing environment has reached a consensus that the physical aspects of built environment could contribute indirectly to the health outc
