It was known that orthogonality preserving property and surjectivity of nonlinear Markov operators, acting on finite dimensional simpleces, are equivalent. It turns out that these notions are no longer equivalent when such kind of operators are considered over on infinite dimensional spaces. In the present paper, we find necessary and sufficient co

Introduction: Periodontal and conservative treatment need among first-visit patients at IIUM Dental Outpatient Clinic was high. This study aimed to identify the major periodontal and conservative treatment need, to analyse previous trend and to forecast future need.

Depression can occur due to common major life transitions, such as giving birth, menopause, retirement, empty-nest transition, and midlife crisis. Although some of these transitions are perceived as positive (e.g., giving birth), they may still lead to depression. We conducted a systematic literature review of the factors underlying the occurrence

The aim of this paper is to study the new application of Haar wavelet quasilinearization method (HWQM) to solve one-dimensional nonlinear heat transfer of fin problems. Three different types of nonlinear problems are numerically treated and the HWQM solutions are compared with those of the other method. The effects of temperature distribution of a

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) infrequently occurs within the upper cervical vertebrae. Various therapeutic options have been reported in the literature. We would like to share our experience in managing a case of a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with ABC at the body of axis (C2) vertebra. Serious attention had to be given on the stability of the cervical

Intra-muscular abscess is a suppurative infection involving the skeletal muscle. Operative management remains the mainstay together with timely administration of systemic antibiotics. Timely usage of antimicrobial dressings assists the wound bed preparation for secondary closure.32 Wounds Asia 2019 | Vol 2 Issue 2 | ©Wounds International 2019 | ww

Introduction Open discectomy has been the gold standard of care for cases of prolapsed intervertebral disc. Tissue dissection is unavoidable in order to access the pathologic disc material. After skin incision, subcutaneous fat tissue, paraspinal muscles, ligamentum flavum, epidural fat, dura and nerve roots has to be encountered before reaching th

INTRODUCTION Significant differences exist in how community pharmacist (CP) is being utilized around the globe. OBJECTIVE To explore various policies and practices of medicine use review (MUR) by CP in chronic diseases and, its impact and way forward for low- and middle- income countries (L&MIC) METHOD Narrative review, using key words, such as

A honeycomb-structured ceramic porous plate (HPP) was used to increase the critical heat flux (CHF) in a saturated pool boiling. Combining the HPP with a nanofluid significantly improved the CHF compared to that obtained from a plain surface in pure water, to a maximum of approximately 3.2 MW/m2. In this paper, the mechanism for the CHF enhancement
