Background: Urine output is the oldest biomarker of AKI. Clinically it can be the first indication of kidney dysfunction, especially in critical care settings where hourly urine outputs are routinely measured. It has been shown that the ideal urine output threshold for prediction of mortality or dialysis was 0.3 ml/kg/h for moving block of 6 hours.

Purpose Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is common and carries a high mortality rate. Most epidemiological studies were retrospective and were done in Western populations. We aim to assess its incidence utilising both urine output and creatinine criteria, and its association with risk factors and outcome. Material and Methods This was a single centre, pro

CMOS integration for RF-MEMS is desired to yield compact, low-power and portable devices. In this work, we illustrate the usage of double electrode CMOS SAW resonators using both ZnO and AlN as its piezoelectric material. Double electrode transducers were chosen, as they are better at suppressing undesired acoustic reflections compared to single el

We report the deposition of high quality c-axis oriented Aluminium doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) on silicon substrate for surface acoustic wave (SAW) applications. AZO thin film is prepared by Radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. Sputtering is a preferred method because it is able to perform deposition at low temperature, produce uniform thin film

Introduction: Refeeding syndrome is characterised by acute electrolyte derangement following the start of nutrition. Hypophosphataemia is the predominant feature of the electrolyte derangement, hence commonly used for its definition. We aim to assess the incidence of refeeding hypophosphataemia, and its associated risk factors, and outcome in our l

In Malaysia, medical specialisation training is mainly carried out by the public universities. A survey was carried out to explore the views of medical specialists in the country on issues such as structure of medical specialty training, availability of human resource, public/private sector competition, competency and apprenticeship, and its impact

Objective: The incidence of benzodiazepine paradoxical reaction is uncommon. It may be implicated with crime as will be described in this case report. Method: We report a 37 year-old schizophrenia patient who was detained by the authority under Section 392/397 of Penal Code assaulting a lady using sharp weapon. He had history of illicit substance a

Introduction: The mainstay of treatment of depression relies on pharmacological and psychological treatments. On top of that, evidence also recognizes the vital role of spirituality for human wellness which leads to growing interest in its utilization to treat depression.
