There is a growing recognition of the value and benefits of working at the community level. It is at the local level that much of the real-action in coastal zone management is taking place. As such, the proposed research will examine about the importance of community participation in coastal zone management initiative, namely Port Klang Coastal Str

The radiation vulcanization of natural rubber latex (NRL) has been carried out with 150 keV electrons beam with the presence of carbon nanotubes. The NRL/CNTs were prepared by using solving casting method by dispersing carbon nanotubes in a polymer solution and subsequently evaporating the solvent. The load of the carbon nanotubes in the rubber was

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent disease worldwide but is still underdiagnosed in many parts of Asia. We studied the clinical profiles of AR patients in our community based on the new ARIA classification and investigated the aetiological allergens using a skin prick test. Materials and Methods: In 2008, 142 newly diagnosed patien

We studied two similar cases of severe subglottic stenosis secondary to trauma with different treatment modalities. One had laryngotracheal reconstruction with cartilage augmentation and the other had laryngotracheal resection anastomosis. We wish to compare the two popular choices of surgery for laryngotracheal stenosis from two cases with similar
