INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Aggressive volume resuscitation is often required in critically ill patients to maintain haemodynamic stability and end organ perfusion. There has been growing concern about the adverse effects of positive fluid balance on mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence. We aimed to investigate the impact of fluid overload

This paper examines the Libyan commercial banks’ adoption of Islamic financial transactions to achieve a real value for stakeholders related to internal environmental adaptation. Accordingly, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 14 commercial banks in Libya. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) has been employed for testing the hypothes

Developing light weight yet stronger and more flexible panels in aircraft structure to with stand from failure due to vibration has been the interest of many researchers nowadays. Piezoelectric material has been the popular choice to attenuate vibration actively and numerous techniques of optimal control and actuator placement have been proposed. T

This paper aims to study the microjet’s efficacy as a management tool for the duct’s flow field. The nozzle was correctly expanded for a diameter ratio of 1.6 (i.e., area ratio = 2.56). The Mach numbers considered were from 1.25 to 2. The investigation shows that the development and recovery of the duct flow are smooth at lower Mach numbers. At

Critical illness elicits a major stress response that activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The diurnal variation is often lost. The criteria for determining which patients have an adequate response to severe stress and which have an inadequate response are arbitrary and controversial. Furthermore, cortisol metabolism and functio

Use of semiconductors for power electronics requires unique material characteristics because of the high power levels flowing in the devices. In this research, NTD silicon was try to be developed by using Cf-252 isotopic neutron radioactive sourced (1.6 mCi) instead of using neutron source from nuclear reactor. It was found that concentration of P

Resuscitation of critically ill patients in the intensive care setting is a complex process requiring the accurate measurement of haemodynamic parameters i.e. cardiac output, stroke volume variation and systemic vascular resistance. Haemodynamic monitoring data is used to optimize the balance between tissue oxygenation supply and demand and effecti

Prevalence of diabetes is on the increase up to 20.8% in adults 18 years old and above as reported by Diabetes Registry Malaysia. There is 5.9% increase as compared to that previous record in 2006. Hence, early detection of impaired glucose tolerance is crucial in prevention of delaying the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study is aime

Annually it has been reported that there are 1.25 million deaths due to snake bite. With the aims of finding herbal remedies that could work synergistically with ant-snack venom, many studies were conducted. It has been shown that ethanolic extract of Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) seed (TSE) has inhibitory effects against lethal action of Vipera rus
