Background: Hepatitis C is one of the most common causes of liver disease worldwide. Health impacts of hepatitis C are not limited to physical morbidity but include psychosocial dimensions such as quality of life (QOL), depression, anxiety, and stigmatization. In Malaysia, modifiable factors that can improve QOL among hepatitis C patients have not

The present study performed a bibliometric analysis using 119 articles in the field of reverse mortgages from the Web of Sciences (WoS) database from 1978 to May 2022. To provide a comprehensive result, this study employs VOS Viewer software to construct the networks of co-citations of authors and sources of articles. The results show that the grow

Thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been intensively studied due to their appealing physicochemical properties that can be used in various applications, especially catalysis. However, thiolate-protected AuNCs in a free suspension form, tend to aggregate during catalytic reaction due to the high surface reactivity of its ultrasmall siz

High voltage alternating current (HVAC) transmission line is usually shared the same right of way with buried metallic pipeline. Long-term exposure of inductive coupling on buried metallic pipeline will cause AC corrosion at any coating defects on the pipeline. In the West Coast of Malay Peninsula, the AC-induced corrosion is not well studied, and

Here, we present two 7.1- and 7.3-bp near-complete genome sequences of Burkholderia pseudomallei strains of HTAA077 and HRPB058, isolated from a pus culture from a confirmed melioidosis patient at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Malaysia, and from blood culture from a patient at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh, Malaysia, using a Nanopo

The spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus targets the human cell receptor of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), including the myocardium and heart's conduction system. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 have also been found to exhibit cardiac arrhythmia. Here, a whole genome sequencing analysis using long-read sequencing was proposed to eval

Background: Rapid identification of variants is needed to take prompt action for public health measures. It was proven that a combination of public health knowledge and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) could assist in understanding genomic epidemiology. Objective: This study explores the utility of employing the Oxford Nanopore Sequencing in unde

Acquired hemophilia is an atypical pathology of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which could be variant associated. Here, we share a sequence of SARS-CoV-2 genome from patient with Covid-19 acquired hemophilia. We explore its lineage, genomic and novel structural variations.WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING OF SARS-COV-2 FROM COVID-19 ACQUIRED HEMOPHILIA PATIENT Ummu A

The hospital water supply is a reservoir of nosocomial infection that is often neglected. Mounting studies showed that disease transmission in hospitals is caused by the pathogenic bacteria in the water system that carry antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Hence, this study was conducted as infection surveillance in monitoring disease transmission.

SARS-CoV-2 has spread throughout the world since its discovery in China, and Malaysia is no exception. WGS has been a crucial approach in studying the evolution and genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in the ongoing pandemic. Despite considerable number of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences have been submitted to GISAID and NCBI databases, there is still scar
