Dear Editor, We read with great interest the article by Ocal, et al. [1] that studied cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) results elicited by the conventional 500 Hz tone burst (TB) and narrow band Claus Elberling (CE)-chirp stimulus (360-720 Hz) among heathy adults. The chirp stimulus was found to produce significantly earlier P1

Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean and hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself (Olweus 1993, Smith & Sharp 1994). The key feature is its intention to cause harm to others involving threats, rumours, physical, verbal, online, and/or purposely excluding some from the grou

ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a type of neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs in children during their developmental phase. The condition is characterised by two groups of symptoms, namely hyperactive and impulsive, as well as the lack of ability to focus and concentrate. Although being active and having poor attention span

Background: Hepatitis C is one of the most common causes of liver disease worldwide. Health impacts of hepatitis C are not limited to physical morbidity but include psychosocial dimensions such as quality of life (QOL), depression, anxiety, and stigmatization. In Malaysia, modifiable factors that can improve QOL among hepatitis C patients have not

The present study performed a bibliometric analysis using 119 articles in the field of reverse mortgages from the Web of Sciences (WoS) database from 1978 to May 2022. To provide a comprehensive result, this study employs VOS Viewer software to construct the networks of co-citations of authors and sources of articles. The results show that the grow

Thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been intensively studied due to their appealing physicochemical properties that can be used in various applications, especially catalysis. However, thiolate-protected AuNCs in a free suspension form, tend to aggregate during catalytic reaction due to the high surface reactivity of its ultrasmall siz

High voltage alternating current (HVAC) transmission line is usually shared the same right of way with buried metallic pipeline. Long-term exposure of inductive coupling on buried metallic pipeline will cause AC corrosion at any coating defects on the pipeline. In the West Coast of Malay Peninsula, the AC-induced corrosion is not well studied, and

Here, we present two 7.1- and 7.3-bp near-complete genome sequences of Burkholderia pseudomallei strains of HTAA077 and HRPB058, isolated from a pus culture from a confirmed melioidosis patient at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Malaysia, and from blood culture from a patient at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh, Malaysia, using a Nanopo

The spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus targets the human cell receptor of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (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 eval
