Multiple carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) dislocations are rare and are easily missed. The anatomical configuration renders stability to the joints. As a result, a high-velocity impact is required to dislocate the joint. We present two cases of multiple carpometacarpal joint dislocations with different mechanisms of injury and their subsequent manageme

In this chapter we examine work, family and women’s well-being in Malaysia. We begin by briefly positioning education as a prerequisite to women’s labor force participation and highlighting this development over the last few decades. We then discuss studies in the work-family literature from two fronts: one focusing on work and family life in r

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) represents a major advance in the treatment of degenerative joint disease, providing excellent restoration of joint function and pain relief. This study aim to evaluate the survival analysis of the implant, the functional and knee scores outcome and to identify a complication following Nexgen fixed bearin

Older people are increasing in number globally, and they are likely to have mental health problems, including depression. In this population, the risk of having depressive symptoms is very high due to multidimensional factors, but these symptoms are often undertreated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of depressiv

For decades, solar energy as one of the endless energy sources has become the most public preference as a means to accommodate space heating. Various studies on solar thermal technologies have been worked out to replace outdated systems. However, conventional solar thermal systems offer two drawbacks such as diffuse solar radiation conditions that

Timely variant identification is required in respond to effective public health measures. It has been demonstrated that comprehending genetic epidemiology can be aided by a combination of public health expertise and through viral genomic sequencing using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of us

Fungal infection is rarely reported in immunocompetent retroviral disease patients. We report a first case of a 42- year-old man with underlying retroviral disease on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) who was infected with pulmonary Polyporales sp. Despite undetected viral load with high CD4 count, the patient was found to have unexplain

Here, we present a 4,508,936-bp complete genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain HW002Y, which was isolated from the tap water in an intensive care unit at Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre at the International Islamic University of Malaysia (Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia). Sequencing was performed using a Nanopore Flongle flow cell.Whole

The spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus targets the human cell receptor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2), including the myocardium and heart's conduction system. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 have also been found to exhibit cardiac arrhythmia. Here, a whole-genome sequencing analysis using long-read sequencing was proposed to evalua

The hospital water supply is a reservoir of nosocomial infection that is often neglected. Mounting studies showed that disease transmission in hospitals is caused by the pathogenic bacteria in the water system that carry antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Hence, this study was conducted as infection surveillance in monitoring disease transmission.
