Background: Stress-induced hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients. A few forms of model-based glycemic control have been introduced to reduce this phenomena and among them is the automated STAR protocol which has been used in the Christchurch and Gyulá hospitals’ intensive care units (ICUs) since 2010. Methods: This article presents

Glycemic control in critically ill patients is complex in terms of patients’ response to care and treatment. The variability and the search for improved insulin therapy outcomes have led to the use of human physiology model based on per-patient metabolic condition to provide automated recommendations. One of the most promising solution for this i

Objectives To evaluate the participation and the barriers to hospital pharmacists’ participation in antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) in Nigerian tertiary hospitals. Methods A cross sectional nationwide online survey was conducted over six weeks period between May and June 2019. Invitation was sent to all the Heads of Pharmacy department or

In this paper, the effect of the output impedance to the power transfer efficiency of the series-to-series inductive resonant wireless power transfer at the resonance frequency is reviewed in details. The analysis is carried out by utilizing the theoretical inductive resonance wireless power transfer model using the MATLAB ® package. In this paper

This study examines differences in parental stress between parents of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children (n=21) and Typically Developed (TD) children (n=41) in Malaysia. This study also compares the ages of parents of ASD children with parents of TD children with stress as a variable in these parents. Parents completed the Parental Stress Inde

Acanthaceae is a flowering plants family under the order Lamiales and comprises at least 4,000 species regardless of tropical and subtropical species with Justicia being the largest genus under this family. The study on the flower’s petal and sepal micromorphology have been done on six Justicia species, namely as Justicia betonica L., J. carnea L

The adulteration of butter has become a major problem in food industries. Butter has a similar characteristic to lard which makes lard a desirable adulterant in butter due to economic advantages. Therefore, the method of detection to analyse the adulteration practice must be developed. This study used NMR spectroscopy in combination with chemometri

Zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) is one of the composite ceramics that are widely use in load bearing and wear resistant applications. The composite is known for their good hardness and toughness, due to the presence of both Al2O3 and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The enhance toughness for ZTA are mostly originated from the presence of YSZ in t

Beta vulgaris or beetroot contained high pigment of betalains that are used as food colorants and food additives due to their health-promoting properties. The extraction of natural colorant compound from beetroot under chemical- based extraction was identified as an alternative source of commercial synthetic colorant. Beetroot is generally processe
