This paper examines the safety and efficacy of non-viral gene transfer in cartilage tissue engineering (TE) from the worldview of Islam. The first clinical trial treating adenosine deaminase deficient patients conducted in 1990 has triggered the development of gene transfer technology. The potential of gene transfer is further explored in TE field

The objective of this research was to replicate the muscle tone moment feedback of elbow upon passive mobilisation and classify them based on Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) criterion using a mathematical model. The proposed model enables visualisation of muscle tone pattern for robotic interaction simulation. Concurrent muscle tone model necessitate

Background and Objectives: Refeeding hypophosphataemia (RH) is characterized by an acute electrolyte derangement following nutrition therapy. Complications associated include heart failure, respiratory failure, paraesthesia, seizure and death. We aim to assess its incidence, risk factors, and outcome in our local intensive care unit (ICU). Methods

Background: Creatinine kinetic denotes that under steady state, creatinine production (G) equals to creatinine excretion rate (E), and if production exceeds excretion, GFR is impaired. Kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) offers a more accurate estimate of GFR in the acute settings with rapidly changing kidney functions. Objectives: We evaluated keGFR a

Islamic garden is a traditional garden concept that is significantly related to the history of the Muslim civilization. The first establishment of the concept was in the 7th century through the formation of the Persian Garden. Presently, the idea of the Islamic garden is beginning to be overlooked as the contemporary garden design is becoming a cur

Expression of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) mRNA in early cleavage cell stages is important in predicting embryo viability at blastocyst stage of development. Embryo viability is crucial for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment to be successful in terms of increment of implantation and pregnancy rate. In order to establish fertilizatio

Introduction: Scarcity of fresh water is currently blighting the population of the least developed countries around the world. According to WHO, waterborne diseases accounts for 4.1% of total disability adjusted life years (DALYs) with a mortality rate of 1.8 million per year. Numerous pathogens and chemicals may be the potential sources of water c

Corporate brand equity studies focus heavily on brands of profit-based organisations. Similarly in Malaysia, while there has been a number of studies on leading brands owned by profit-based such as PETRONAS, Air Asia and Maxis, there has been a dearth of studies on brands of not-for-profit organisations such as public universities. Public universit

Objective: To compare the surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) of 2.75mm superotemporal and superonasal clear corneal incisions in post phacoemulsification. Methodology:This comparative cross-sectional study evaluated 60 eyes of 56 Malaysian subjects. Those who attended at least six weeks of postoperative follow-up visit were recruited in this stud

The study aims to clarify the conditions which help Judge or his representative, as a committee member, to consider tightening the financial penalty for breaking regulations and rules of the Civil Defense in Saudi Arabia. The study starts with clarifying the concept of financial penalty, its types and purposes. Then it analyses the conditions menti
