 Patient satisfaction is of increasing importance and recognized as an important indicator for quality of care. It is influenced by the patients, physicians and practice's characteristics. 1,2  The literature on diabetes has increasingly focused on the quality of care and its measurement. Long waiting time is a common issue brought up by

 Lung carcinoma typically presents with haemoptysis and constitutional symptoms on a background history of chronic cigarette smoking.  A chest X-ray can pick up these lesions in view of its radio-opacity and nodular appearances that are manifested in more than 90% of cases.1  However it can be mistakenly interpreted as normal if it is obsc

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms which typically presents with thrombotic vasomotor symptoms or bleeding tendencies. Papular rash is a rare manifestation of ET and may cause delay in making the diagnosis and hence institution of the treatment. We report a case of ET in a 50- year-old gentleman, who presented

Introduction • Acetabular surgery is known for its complexity • It requires high level of expertise and ideally done at a specialized trauma centre • Anterior approach in acetabular surgery is done via • Classical ilioinguinal approach • Modified stoppa approachAdvantages of modified stoppa approach versus ilioinguinal approach in treatin

Porous aluminum (Al) composites are lightweight and high-strength materials composing of Al as a matrix material with some strengthening reinforcements and pore-forming agents that result in the formation of new material with superior physical properties and energy absorption capacities. This work gives an overview of the porous Al-foams developed

Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) have been extensively studied primarily due to higher strength-to-weight ratio, lower cost, and higher wear resistance properties. However, increasing demand for economical and energy-efficient materials in the automotive, aerospace and other applications is tailoring research area in the agro-based composite mater

The algorithmic dilemma that we are in right now is severe than what we really think. It has changed its shape from a smart assistant to an uncontrollable dictator; to an independent troublemaker that can systematically crush one’s everything, and I do not really know what that everything is since everything has now become unpredictable. Even whe

INTRODUCTION: In the current climate of urgency in identifying biomarkers for the development of rapid diagnostic kits, the use of urine samples to diagnose acute melioidosis was evaluated, comparing urine samples from Burkholderia pseudomallei culture-positive and culture-negative patients, and comparing pneumonic and septicemic melioidosis. MATER

Introduction: Investigation of urine proteome in patients with acute melioidosis may reveal potential disease markers, from either bacterial or human proteins. We used an in-solution gel-free method instead of 2-DE to detect human and Burkholderia pseudomallei proteins in urine of patients with acute melioidosis. Here, we propose a simpler, economi

This quantitative research investigated the level of foreign language anxiety (FLA) between different genders of Japanese foreign language learners in the higher education context in Malaysia considering that studies specifically focusing on gender differences in the foreign language anxiety among Japanese language learners is not actively explored
