Neuropathic pain is a persistent pain condition that develops secondary to nerve injury. The two most common types of peripheral neuropathic pain are post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) and painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). Amitriptyline, nortriptyline, desipramine and imipramine are TCAs that have been shown to be effective for the symptomatic relief o

Introduction This paper is primarily about the contemporary debate on the implementation of the SharÊÑah. Evidently, the discourse on SharÊÑah in general and Islamic penal code in particular is dominated by issues regarding Islam and modernity, inter-religious dialogue with Christianity and post-colonial state and human rights. The principal is

Presence of TP53 mutations has been associated with poor prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), although this has remained controversial. The TP53 codon 72 polymorphism has shown negative impact on cancer survival, but this has not been analyzed in DLBCL. Furthermore, the MDM2 SNP309 has been associated with earlier age of onset in DLB

This article provides a convenient framework for a quantitative evaluation of the transient entropy squeezing generated when a single-Cooper-pair box irradiated by a classical field taking into account a phase-damped cavity. It explores how the entropy squeezing factors influenced by phase-damped cavity. The numerical results reveal an interesting

This paper presents the results of a field experiment conducted within DUM to test the surface temperature due to air temperature as long as to point out the potential and constrains of pavement design within commercial area in KL Central. It evaluates the characters and properties of pavement, the potential of designated pavement for traffic calmi

A self-calibrating automated characterization system for depressed cladding applications is demonstrated utilizing the Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software and General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) interface. The automation system consists of a tunable laser source (TLS), optical spectrum analyzer (OSA), attenuator,

Introduction: We developed hydroxyapatite (HA) granules made from local raw materials (GranuMaS™), which have been fabricated using a novel method (Patent (Pending) No. PI 2004 0748). GranuMaS™ have been fully characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy a

This paper discusses the contemporary academic debates in the fields of social vulnerability, social capital and adaptation, and hazard management with a focus on flood risk management in squatter settlements in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These are some of the key issues for the city of Kuala Lumpur as the management of urban environment in Malaysia m

Plants are regularly exposed to unfavorable conditions that impose stress. Lead (Pb), is one of the major pollutants in the environment that causes serious public health and environmental concern. Increasing levels of lead could also have severe consequences for plants. Plants exposed to lead stress initiate signalling pathway, and make specific ch
