Background: Rapid identification of variants is needed to take prompt action for public health measures. It was proven that a combination of public health knowledge and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) could assist in understanding genomic epidemiology. Objective: This study explores the utility of employing the Oxford Nanopore Sequencing in unde

Acquired hemophilia is an atypical pathology of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which could be variant associated. Here, we share a sequence of SARS-CoV-2 genome from patient with Covid-19 acquired hemophilia. We explore its lineage, genomic and novel structural variations.WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING OF SARS-COV-2 FROM COVID-19 ACQUIRED HEMOPHILIA PATIENT Ummu A

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.

SARS-CoV-2 has spread throughout the world since its discovery in China, and Malaysia is no exception. WGS has been a crucial approach in studying the evolution and genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in the ongoing pandemic. Despite considerable number of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences have been submitted to GISAID and NCBI databases, there is still scar

Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder characterized by anovulation, hyperandrogenism, infertility and metabolic dysfunction, that affect ladies in their adolescent period until menopause, specifically at reproductive age. The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge level of PCOS and th

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in Malaysia and therefore, it is important to recognize the early signs and symptoms of breast cancer. In addition, breast self‐examination (BSE) also has been suggested as a valuable technique for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the

This work presents a performance comparison between a Predictive Functional Control (PFC) and a traditional Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller specifically for a cruise control application. The tuning efficacy, constraints handling, and disturbance rejection features of both controllers are analysed by comparing their closed-loop res

Here, we described a fatal case of a 37-year-old returning traveller from Burkina Faso, West Africa, who presented with an acute fitting episode later diagnosed as cerebral malaria induced by Plasmodium falciparum based on microscopic examination and Plasmodium mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase III (cox3) gene PCR target. Unfortunately, the patien

Purpose SARS-CoV-2 virus is highly contagious and spreads easily that it is difficult to detect in elucidating the pattern of infection for contact tracing purposes. The advent of high-throughput sequencing techniques has improved diagnosis in detection the viral lineages especially involving sporadic infection. The combination of short- and long-r
