Introduction Spinal tuberculosis in children is an established preventable disease. Complications of the disease are devastating due to its aptitude to cause bone destruction, spinal deformity and paraplegia. We present seven months old girl with isolated gross motor regression and evolving spastic paraplegia. The case highlights the challenge with

Introduction: A complete septic profile including lumbar puncture (LP) ought to be done in febrile neonates unless other consideration. Presentation: A 25-day old baby girl presented with fever and decreased oral intake for three days. She has no significant prenatal, natal or postnatal history. At presentation, she appeared lethargic but had no ab

One positive response to the Great Recession (2008-2012) is that economics is seriously rethinking on its future shape and direction. As value-free economics begins to wane, Putnam’s (2012) ‘second phase classical theory’ and ‘entanglement of fact and value’ notions look encouraging. Therein lies openings for Islamic economics to project

Integrated study is about achieving holistic understanding of complex social-legal issues and problems. It is driven by the need to improve understanding about certain issues and to improve resources management by using the results of integrated research processes. Thus, this article will focus on the method of integrated legal research between Isl

Diskriminasi gender di tempat kerja adalah isu yang ditulis secara meluas dalam kajan lepas. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat pelbagai jenis diskriminasi gender. Sesetengah penyelidik menulis daripada sudut pandangan ekonomi (Oster, 1975; Baldwin dan Johnson, 1992), perspektif sosiologi (Bielby dan Baron, 1986; Cohen dan Huffman, 2003; Charles, 2011),

This chapter aims to provide a conceptual analysis of the Debt Management Program (DMP) which is under the purview of Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK). The research is based on a qualitative approach adopting the method of contextual analysis based on works of literature concerning DMP in Malaysia. Relevant effort induced by the AKPK

In this study, NiTi synthesized via solid-state sintering from Ni-TiH2 powders in reducing environments using (i) CaH2 (ii) MgH2 and (iii) CaH2 and MgH2 as in situ reducing agent were investigated. The phase formation was characterized by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscope (EDS) and powder X-ray diffraction

Graphical displays are known to improve the process of obtaining information because it can be easily comprehended. It also can be recognized faster and more precisely compared to nongraphical (i.e. alphanumerical) displays. However, it is unknown if the graphical displays application in labeling systems can improve the human performance in searchi

Famous for his declaration on the end of history after free-market liberal economy triumphed over communism at the end of the Cold War, Francis Fukuyama is back to elucidate on the recent rise of identity politics in the second decade of the twenty-first century. Starting with the vote by the British electorate to leave the European Union, we have

Solid state synthesis is an alternative processing technique that has been attempted for producing novel-structured NiTi such as porous NiTi and other novel forms. Whilst shape memory effect is a unique advantage of NiTi shape memory alloy like, no successful attempt so far to produce single phase NiTi with good martensitic transformation behavior.
