Summary This study compares the cost-effectiveness of two school-based thalassemia screening protocols—multi-sample (P1) and single-sample Reflex DNA (P2)—in Sabah and Sarawak using 2018 National Thalassemia Screening Programme (NTSP) data. Although P2 was 9–11% costlier upfront, it eliminated dropouts and improved carrier detection. Sabah, a

Introduction: Cornual ectopic pregnancy is a rare but lifethreatening variant, accounting for 2-4% of ectopic pregnancies. Due to its ability to grow longer before rupture, it presents a diagnostic challenge, especially in primary care. Early recognition is crucial for maternal safety.

Clean energy can be generated utilizing Archimedean Screw Turbine (AST) with the aid of flowing water. In this work, the effect of velocity of water and inclination angle were investigated to determine the torque’s output. First, a simulation of screw turbine was performed using SolidWorks Flow Simulation. It was found that the screw turbine’s

Electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) is a key part of Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda to modernize tax systems, improve operational efficiency, and promote transparency. Although the benefits of e-invoicing are widely recognized, Malaysian banks face challenges such as compliance requirements, system integration, high initial costs, and st

Background: Thalassemia poses a significant health and financial burden in Malaysia, highlighting the need for effective screening strategies to reduce the incidence of severe cases and associated costs. While the National Thalassemia Screening Programme (NTSP) for students has made progress in identifying carriers, challenges persist in preventing

This study provides a novel analysis of the socioeconomic factors influencing screening dropout rates among beta-thalassemia carriers in Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia, using 2018 data from the National Thalassemia Screening Programme. Our retrospective design focused on form four students, examining the interplay of ethnicity, locality, and gender wi
