Plasmonics are light and free electrons interaction in metal nanostructures. Free electrons are oscillated and known as plasmon when light hits the metal. Matched plasmon/ light at respective frequency/ momentum generates a resonance at maximum excitation of plasmonic energy. A resonance shift indicates significant molecular binding for biological

Introduction: The study, conducted at Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre, aimed to compare outcomes in bronchospasm-treated children using metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) with spacers versus nebulizers. The primary focus was on assessing the length of stay (LOS) and treatment costs associated with each modality. The hypothesis anticipated no significant

Introduction: It is common for dental practitioners to encounter stress, repetitive movements, and prolonged static postures that lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). As a multifactorial disorder, MSD results in discomfort or pain in the affected body area. The MSD can adversely affect one’s job performance if the symptoms are left untreated.

Introduction: With the current trend of increasing on communicable diseases (NCD), like hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia worldwide and in Malaysia, a comprehensive study is essential to find the local population's knowledge, attitude and practice towards NCD. Little is known about the indigenous people of Orang Asli’s health condition

INTRODUCTION: Psychological burden of frontliners increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to psychiatric illnesses reducing productivity. Assessing their mental health status is vital in providing effective care. Our aim was to investigate the levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and associated factors among frontlines of International Is

Transduction biosensor (mass-based, optical and electrochemical) involves analysis, recognition and amplification in the acquired sample. In this work, the plasmonic-based biosensor was employed without using tags. It is crucial to determine angles of Brewster (Ɵb) and critical (Ɵc) for generating plasmonic resonance (Ɵr). The objective is to ve

Organizations can become so focused on collecting data and managing day-to-day operations that the effectiveness and quality of the data becomes compromised. Poor-quality data can lead to incorrect analysis, flawed reporting, and misguided decisions. Organisations should be able to know that their data is healthy when they can demonstrate that it i

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition among elderly women, impacting various aspects of their quality of life. This cross-sectional study from January 2022 to December 2023 aims to establish the prevalence of urinary incontinence, its associated factors, and its impact on the quality of life (QOL) for elderly women attend

Introduction: The high prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Malaysia is a growing concern as it poses risks to mother and fetus. Limited health literacy among pregnant women with GDM may lead to poor glycaemic control and subsequently GDM complications. Currently, health literacy studies among vulnerable groups in Malaysia, includin

The hotel industry plays a vital role in tourism development by providing visitor accommodation facilities. This paper focuses on the effects of service quality on the budget hotel industry in Malaysia. Despite the increasing number of tourists opting for budget hotels in recent years, issues related to service quality have affected tourist satisfa
