Osteoporosis has frequently been regards as a disease of women only. However, men are also at risk of developing osteoporosis. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge of osteoporosis among men and its associated factors.Medical Research Symposium 2017 | 10th August 2017 | Kulliyyah of Medicine, IIUM, 25200 Kuantan Medical Research Symposium 2017 | 10th

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة أسماء الله الحسنى، وصفاته وأفعاله الواردة في سورة النور بغية الوصول إلى أسمى الغايات المرجوّة من إنزال القرآن، ألا وهي معرفة خالق هذا الكون، ومن ثمّ يتخلّق الإنسان في

Growing cells on microcarriers may have overcome the limitation of conventional cell culture system. However, the surface functionality of certain polymeric microcarriers for effective cell attachment and growth remains a challenge. Polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polymer has received considerable attention due to its good mechanical proper

The objectives of this preliminary study are to determine heavy metal concentration in mangrove estuary and to identify spatial patterns in the water quality based on heavy metals concentration. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were selected to analyze the dataset of six heavy metal parameters namely: Ni, Cu,

Growing cells on microcarriers may have overcome the limitation of conventional cell culture system. However, the main challenge remains at ensuring the surface biocompatibility with cells. Polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polymer, has received considerable attention because of its excellent mechanical properties and degradation kinetics tha

White aluminum (Al) dross is the waste or by-product generated from the smelting of Al. Improper disposal of this waste will affect the sustainability of the environment. This study was aimed at investigating the feasibility of Al dross as a thermoplastic filler. Various content of Al dross (10–40 wt.%) was blended with polypropylene (PP) using a

The effect of metals on support material fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), were studied. A series of metals such as ruthenium (Ru), osmium (Os), palladium (Pd), and copper (Cu) on FTO support were prepared by a simple wet mixture method, and attempted as a heterogeneous catalyst to enhance the hydrogenolysis of glycerol converted to 1,2-propanediol (

Growing cells on microcarriers may have overcome the limitation of conventional cell culture system. However, the main challenge remains at ensuring the surface biocompatibility with cells. Polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polymer, has received considerable attention because of its excellent mechanical properties and degradation kinetics tha

Effects of irradiated rPP compatibilizer, on the mechanical and thermal properties of recycled polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose composites (rPP/MCC), are investigated. rPP is irradiated with an electron beam at dosages ranging from 10, 20, 30 to 50kGy. A matrix, containing of unirradiated and irradiated rPP (50:50 by ratio), is then added t

Background Despite its proven benefits, participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) still remains low globally. The predictors of participation in this programme have been widely studied abroad however, in Malaysia, the data in this field is scarce as the programme is relatively new. Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the relationsh
