Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) represents a major advance in the treatment of degenerative joint disease, providing excellent restoration of joint function and pain relief. This study aim to evaluate the survival analysis of the implant, the functional and knee scores outcome and to identify a complication following Nexgen fixed bearin

40 years old malay gentleman with underlying gout presenting with severe pain in both knees for 10 years, analgesic dependant and wheelchair ambulation. Examination of right knee shows fixed flexion at 10 degrees, range of movement 10-100 degree flexion, lateral collateral laxity and varus deformity. Left knee had fixed flexion at 10 degrees, range

Abstract This study concerned validating academic integrity survey (AIS), a measure developed in 2010 to investigate academic integrity practices in a Malaysian university. It also examined the usefulness of the measure across gender and nationality of the participants (undergraduates of Nigerian and Malaysian public universities). The sample size

Stroke rehabilitation is fraught with challenges, particularly regarding patient mobility, imprecise assessment scoring during the therapy session, and the security of healthcare data shared online. This work aims to address these issues by calibrating hand gesture recognition systems using the Rehabilitation Internet-of-Things (RIOT) framework and

This study investigates the effect of sudden expansion of air in cylindrical pipes of varied area (AR) and length-to-diameter (L/D) ratios, at subsonic and sonic flow regimes. It was found that the flow reattaches at approximately same location of the pipe, irrespective of the area ratio for the cases 2.56 and 3.61. At minimal area ratio of 1.69, t

In the SPECT image data, presence of scatter component leads to poor image quality. Consequently, inaccuracy in the diagnosis of disease occurs. This study aims to improve the image quality by reducing some fraction of scattered gamma photons prior to detection using a material filter technique. Data were acquired by scanning a cylindrical source t

Accuracy in the diagnosis of disease in Tc-99m Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography is reduced due to the presence of scattered gamma photons in the image data. A range of scatter correction techniques exist, however, none is considered as the standard. The objective of this study is to apply a flat sheet of Aluminum 0.3mm thick as an absorbe

Purpose: To evaluate the formation of cartilage-like tissue engineered constructs (TECs) using human osteoarthritic chondrocytes overexpressed with SOX9 gene seeded on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with and without fibrin scaffolds through cartilaginous genes expression analysis. Methods: Upon approval by the IREC18; NMRR-12-1383-14531 and I

Introduction: Obese adults are associated with increased cardiometabolic risk (CMR). The study aims to investigate the prevalence of CMR factor abnormalities in obese adults in Kuantan. Methods: Seventy-six obese adults with a mean (standard deviation) age of 33.7 years (9.8 years) participated in this study. All participants had a waist circumfere
