Emerging evidence suggest that it is time to examine whether future healthcare professionals are learning to address religious or spiritual issues in discipline-appropriate ways. Current research suggests that health outcomes are positively related to patients’ religious or spiritual beliefs. As such, discussing spirituality issues with patient m

Rapid advancements in science and technology have assured biomaterials and their associated fields towards becoming a multimillion-dollar industry. Biomaterials have been shown as one of the most promising materials for biomedical implant development. As such, this article intends to provide a comprehensive review of metal additive manufacturing(me

Herbs and medicinal plants are major sources of traditional or folk medicines for many countries of the world, including Malaysia. This study evaluated the bioactive potential of the leaf ethanolic extract and solvent fractions of Cosmos caudatus Kunth, in scavenging free radicals and inhibiting the enzyme α-glucosidase. In addition, their metabol

In the current practice, the clinical use of conventional skin substitutes such as autogenous skin grafts have shown several problems, mainly with respect to limited sources and donor site morbidity. In order to overcome these limitations, the use of smart synthetic biomaterials is tremendously diffusing as skin substitutes. Indeed, engineered skin

Orange-spotted groupers (Epinephelus coioides) are marine fish which can be found in the state of Terengganu (in Malaysia) and are economically important. Overfishing and fish farmers’ dependency on wild orange-spotted grouper seed fish have caused a decline in their numbers. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity o

Multiple logistic regression is a methodology of handling dependent variables with a binary outcome. This method is becoming increasingly widespread as a statistical technique that represents a discrete probability model. Many studies have focused on the application but less on the methodology building. This study aims to provide an applied method

Chronic periodontitis is among the most prevalent oral diseases in the world. Apart from its destructive outcomes in the oral cavity, there is a strong evidence of the potential association between chronic periodontitis and systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and preterm low birth weight. In this paper, the potential contrib

The oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity with up to 50% of the mortality rate. It has been reported about 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million cancer deaths in 2012. Numbers of studies have been performed to investigate the factors that have direct and indirect or both associated with

Decision tree analysis is one of the famous analyses which assist the researcher to identify the associated factor that contributes to the certainty factor. In this study, we proposed a decision tree model with the high-risk factor and try to estimates the importance of every each predictor. The result reveals that the survival time for the patient
