There has been recent interest regarding the role of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on soft and hard tissue healing. Inactivated platelets contain various growth hormones that involve in tissue healing such as platelet-derived growth hormone (PDGF), vascular ndothelial growth hormone (VEGF), transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß), epidermal

Background: We analyzed the comlication of ACL reconstruction of the knee which were done at Hospital Tengku Ampuan AFzan, Kuantan, Pahang from 2004 to 2008. Hundrend and sixty-three cases were operated. Complication rate is about 11% (18 patients)including revision surgery rate of 3.7% (6 patients). We are illustrating two case with uncommon compl

In Malaysia, studies have shown that most Malay learners learning Arabic Language exhibit weak Arabic speaking skill despite spending years of learning the language. However, given the same learning environment and experience, some of them could be considered as good Arabic speakers as revealed by the results of Arabic Placement Test conducted by t

In this paper, we present a novel method of analyzing retinal vasculature using Fourier Fractal Dimension to extract the complexity of the retinal vasculature enhanced at different wavelet scales. Logistic regression was used as a fusion method to model the classifier for 5-year stroke prediction. The efficacy of this technique has been tested usin

Carvedilol, a non selective β blocking drug under the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class II, is widely used in the treatment of hypertension. Solubility of this drug is very low which affects in low dissolution rate and in turn affect the bioavailability of this drug following oral administration. The micronization of drug is one

Protein phosphatase inhibition assay (PPIA), Neuroblastoma cell-based assay (Neuro-2a CBA)and LC-MS/MS analysis revealed for the first time the production of okadaic acid (OA) by a Prorocentrum rhathymum strain. Low amounts of OA were detected by LC-MS/MS analysis.Inhibition of PP2A activity and a weak toxicity to the Neuro-2a CBA were also observe

This study tests two opposing models of household behavior, the income pooling hypothesis and the bargaining model, by examining the final decision-making and expenditure patterns of married men and women in Malaysia.
