Introduction: The concept of neck dissection (ND) in the management armamentarium of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has evolved throughout the years. Nowadays, ND becomes more functional. Methodology: A retrospective study of 865 patients was performed at Netherlands Cancer Institute-Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek Hospital to investigate the feasibi

An important component of language teaching is the development of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) among the students. In some language classes, this is done in the literature component of the curriculum. However, in many circumstances teachers are not trained on how to integrate critical thinking skills in literature integrated language learnin

In this research, a novel protease from Ambarella (Spondias cytherea) was identified as a new potential halal meat tenderizer. Optimization of protease extraction by RSM has found the most optimized variables at pH 8.22, 4.95 % of TX-100, 6.80 mM of 2-mercaptoethanol, and 1.71 min of mixing time at 12.37 U/g of protease activity. The overall model

This study aims to evaluate the cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM) production in in vitro poly(lacticco-glycolic acid) PLGA-based scaffolds seeded with rabbit chondrocytes. Scaffolds with the size of 7mm (diameter) × 3mm (height) using ratio of 65:35 were formed using solvent-casting and salt leaching method. The scaffolds were divided into

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى معرفة كيفية توظيف تقنية الواقع المعزّز(Augmented Reality) في تعلم اللغة العربية وموضوعات اللغة العربية ومهاراتها التي يمكن أن يتعلمها الطلبة باستخدام التقنية. تأتي أهمية هذه الدر

Contemporary demand for halal products has been increasing globally. The demand is not only from Muslim consumers but also non-Muslims consumers. When the growing trend in applying the halal concept and consuming halal products becomes increasingly universal, then the opportunity for consumers to evaluate prospective halal products would increase.

Sepsis and septic shock in the tropics are caused by a wide array of organisms. These infections are encountered mainly in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) where a lack of infrastructure and medical facilities contribute to the high morbidity and mortality. Published sepsis guidelines are based on studies primarily performed in high income co

n this present work, solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBEs) system consists of the blended polymer namely carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) doped ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) at different composition from 0 to 10 wt. % were successfully prepared by using casting technique. The electrical conductivity of solid biopolymer electroly

Objectives: Several studies have reported the high prevalence of psychiatric problems in patients receiving Methadone Maintenance Therapy. This study measured the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among patients receiving Methadone Maintenance Therapy in Malaysia and its predictors. Methods: A cross sectional study was done from July to

This paper highlights the design and analysis of a pierce oscillator circuit for CMOS MEMS surface acoustic wave resonators. The boosted pierce topology using two, three-stage cascode amplifiers provides sufficient gain to counteract the high insertion losses of - 65 dB at 1.3 GHz of the SAW resonator. For accurate prediction of the oscillator’s
