INTRODUCTION: Accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important in the critically ill. Kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) considers the changes of creatinine, creatinine production rate, and volume of distribution hence postulated to be a more accurate estimate of GFR, where there are rapidly changing kidney functions. We evaluated

This study was conducted at horseshoe crab’s natural spawning ground in Johor Lama, Kota Tinggi, Johor, Malaysia (1°35'00"N 104°00'49"E). Six nests were excavated on 4 August 2020, four hours after the highest tide. Type of reclamation, and fishery activities in the spawning site were observed. Grain size analysis was conducted

Gratitude represents a general state of appreciation and is considered the root of most religious traditions. Islam views gratitude as a way Muslims relate to their Creator by appreciating His assistance. Literature founds that many scales measuring gratitude were constructed without the integration of Shukr (i.e., Islamic concept of gratitude), or

Road traffic delay is imminent in big cities around the world including Kuala Lumpur, due to the increase in vehicle ownership, weather condition, road blocks by authorities and ongoing infrastructure projects at particular point of the road. Previous literature shows that the average time spent by drivers in driving under road traffic delay is abo

SSurface hardening with and without hard reinforcing material can be achieved by melting technique on the top substrate area via high energy input fusion. The aim is to apply TIG torch heat input of 1344 J/mm at two different working distances such as 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm to incorporate the preplaced TiC particulates on the surface of AISI 4340 low al

Background: Most of the aged women experience the deterioration of bone due to the gradual decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). According to different studies, a continuous progressive decline in bone density results in risks of fractures. Aims: The study aimed to identify the fracture risk factors among post‑menopausal women with the deterior

Introduction: Amid the COVID-19 emergency, dental clinics temporarily suspended all deferrable procedures to reduce the spread of the pathogen, and the tele-orthodontics approach was taken as an alternative to face-to-face orthodontic follow-ups. Teleorthodontics is the application of telecommunication to orthodontic treatment by using information

Juvenile Xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare condition that can present as early as a neonate or develop later during paediatric age and adulthood. One should be aware of this entity as it can cause extreme anxiety to parents due to the variety of cutaneous features. Our case report details a JXG in an 11-months-old boy with a circumscribed nodule on h

We report a case of a parturient with Diabetes Mellitus complicating pregnancy underwent CS for 2 previous scars. Subarachnoic block and ITM were given. IM Ergometrine was added to Pitocin infusion post-delivery due to the presence of uterine atony. Total operative time was 60 minutes with estimated blood loss of 700mls. She was given bilateral TAP

Alumina (Al2O3) particles are used to incorporate into the aluminum either through liquid, semi liquid or solid-state processing condition because they could provide, high strength, high modulus, and hardness properties com-pared to those without the reinforcement. Some major problems such as wettability, porosity, and poor dispersion of particles
