APDE is an acquired, transient bleeding disorder characterised by normal platelet counts with marked eosinophilia. It was previously known as ‘nonthrombocytopenic purpura with eosinophilia’. We report a case of a 3-year-old boy with prolonged history of spontaneous unexplained bruising which was initially investigated by Suspected Child Abuse a

Introduction: In Malaysia, a course of vaccination DTaP/IPV/Hib was introduced in 2008, replacing the 2006 DwPT-HBV/Hib+OPV vaccines. Severe systemic adverse reactions after diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccination are uncommon. Cardiac complications are rarely reported and is most probably implicated to the pertussis component. We describe a

The study explores EPF investors’ knowledge, experience and behavior towards investing in Islamic and conventional unit trusts in Malaysia. 110 valid responses were collected through surveys among government and private employees residing in Klang Valley area. Based on Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), it is found that majority of t

Ultrasound is extensively used in various clinical specialities since it was perceived to lack in bioeffects. In obstetrics and gynaecology, it has been proven useful in fetal assessment and abnormalities. Due to high sensitivity of developing fetus to external interferences, through diagnostic ultrasound advances, the revision of potential prenata

This paper studied the implementation of wireless power transfer through using a mix of inductive and capacitive coupling techniques to overcome the disadvantages of wired power transfer. The topology for the prototype of the combined system is based on LC-compensated topology, the combination of LCC-compensated topology of inductive power transfer

Background and objective: Cockroaches are considered as obnoxious household pest due to its nature that can feed on almost everything. It is believed that cockroaches are the mechanical vectors for many kinds of parasites. As this nocturnal insect moves indiscriminately from places to places, the ability to crawl into every nook and crevices can ca

Seeking treatment is a vital when an individual falls sick. However, some may not do so perhaps they are ashamed to admitting having shameful diseases or unable to seek and reach help. Negative perception of the community on sensitive diseases like AIDS or sexual transmitted disease (STD) may drive the patients away from seeking treatment and suffe

Sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is a crucial part of managing the disease to ensure the progress of further complication of the cardiovascular disease. The aim of this case study is to look into the factors which have a relationship with sugar level among our study sample using a structural equation technique. The sugar leve

Gliclazide (1-(3,3a,4,5,6,6a-hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]pyrrol-2-yl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)sulfonylurea) is a second-generation sulfonylurea which is orally administered in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in adults. Sustain release drugs help to improve drugs bioavailability by controlling the time of drug release or prolonging

Purpose: This study predicted three-dimensional (3D) protein structure of Cryptosporidium parvum subtilisin-like serine protease (CpSUB) using homology modelling as the approach of 3D structure prediction. Methods: CpSUB is an extracellular protein comprising of 1324 amino acid residues. Its amino acid sequence was computed to determine the physioc
