Objectives: To study the effects of Eurycoma Longifolia jack (E.L.) root extract on the serum leptin and testosterone levels of male rats. Methodology: Mature male Albino Wistar rats were used in this study. Serum leptin and testosterone ;levels were analyzed before receiving treatment (control group), then the rats were divided into two groups. Gr

Hydrogel based on petroleum polymer are expensive, non-biodegradable and nondecompose which lead them to heavy waste in environment. In this paper, biopolymer is used to overcome this problem and promote environmental friendliness and biocompatible to the human skin and impregnation of silver nano-particle (SNP) acts as anti-bacterial which needed

Objectives: To study the relationship between diabetes mellitus, periodontal health status and dental caries. Materials and methods: A case-control study involving 42 type II diabetic patients and 42 non-diabetic patients was conducted at Polyclinic, Kulliyyah of Dentistry, International Islamic University Malaysia. Their decay, missing, filling, t

The population of linguistically and culturally diverse students in tertiary education in Malaysia has increased steadily since the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) intensified the concept of internationalisation. This changing demographics make it incumbent upon teachers to know their students' cultures.This paper examines multicu

Chitosan is a promising biopolymer for drug delivery systems. Because of its beneficial properties, chitosan is widely used in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. In this review, we summarize the physicochemical and drug delivery properties of chitosan, selected studies on utilization of chitosan and chitosan-based nanoparticle composites in vari

A modified release gliclazide 60 mg tablet using Methocel® K100 Premium LV DC2 as a drug retaining polymer was prepared by direct compression. Central composite design was adopted for formulation optimization. The two independent formulation variables included the amount of Methocel® K100 LV DC2 and Maltrin® M150, whereas the response variables

Background The use of medical and drug information software programs for Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) is increasing. The technological advances in recent years may have prompted this increase. Many studies have been conducted in developed countries about the use of PDAs among health care professionals and medical and pharmacy students, but si

In this paper, we consider incomplete survival data that is, partly-interval failure time data where observed data include both exact and interval-censored observation on the survival time of interest. We presented a modification of Fine and Gray (1999) which proposed a class of estimation procedures for semi-parametric proportional hazards regress

In this article, a new, higher-order accurate method, namely higher-order compact-flow field-dependent variation (HOC-FDV) method, has been developed to solve two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The HOC-FDV scheme is of third-order accuracy in time and fourth-order in space. The spatial derivatives in the flow field-dependent variation (FDV) e
