The respect for patient autonomy is a bioethical principle that has acquired a compelling degree of prevalence in modern medical practice. While a doctor is ethically and lawfully bound to respect a patient’s preference and personal values in administering the requisite treatment, the duty to do so is more intricate in end-of-life care, when most

Objective: Paracetamol is a common antipyretic and analgesic medicine used in childhood illness by parents and physicians worldwide. Paracetamol has a bitter taste that is considered as a significant barrier for drug administration. This study aimed to develop an oral dosage form that is palatable and easy to swallow by paediatric patients as well

Taste masking is required for bitter drugs to enhance patient compliance, especially among the paediatric population. Paracetamol, the first line for paediatricians to treat pain and fever, is known for its bitter taste. This study aimed to mask the bitter taste of paracetamol and explore the potential of alginate microencapsulation in palatability

Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti jenis-jenis deiksis dalam novel pilihan pengkaji, iaitu 9 Nyawa dan menganalisis deiksis-deiksis tersebut s

Naturally, code-switching occurs in a normal conversation between bilingual speakers who are familiar with the spoken languages as an intellectual translanguaging process. A puzzling process, still in a positive way, that has been under the attention of linguists for decades regardless of the ethnographic or geographic characteristics of the spoken

Thymoquinone (TQ) is the main active compound in black seed oil (BSO) which has unacceptable taste. Many reports confirmed that TQ has medical uses, but very few reports have documented its quantification or stability after formulation. In addition, stability of pure TQ under different conditions was studied to confirm that TQ was unstable in aqueo

This article highlights the phenomenon of the Literal Association (Ẓāhiratal-Mushtarak al-Lafẓī)within the science of Tafsīrand Qur’ānin which the perspectives of some of the scholars of Tafsīrwill be viewed, analysed, and evaluated in order to get to the conclusion of whether or not such a linguistic phenomenon exists in the Qur’ānby

For centuries, Azadirachta indica or neem has been utilized as a primary source of medicine due to its antimicrobial, larvacidal, antimalarial and antifungal properties. Recently, its potential as an effective biopesticide has garnered attention, especially towards efficient and continuous production of its bioactive compounds. The present study in

Intensive care mechanical ventilation (MV) therapy is a lifesaving intervention for a patient with respiratory failure. MV supports patients breathing by maintaining positive airway pressure and airflow to the lung. However, there is currently little clinical consensus protocol to set the best MV setting. Hence, it is important to provide an object

Background and objective: Mechanical ventilation therapy of respiratory failure patients can be guided by monitoring patient-specific respiratory mechanics. However, the patient’s spontaneous breathing effort during controlled ventilation changes airway pressure waveform and thus affects the model-based identification of patient-specific respirat
