Despite great achievements in oral health of populations globally, oral health problems remain in many communities all over the world, thus our study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Monopterus albus skin mucus against selected oral pathogens. Monopterus albus is Asian swamp eel with elongated body like snakes. Their skin covered wit

Introduction: This paper aimed to describe variation in apical corneal curvature between unilateral primary pterygium and normal adults utilizing simulated-K and corneal irregularity measurement corneal indices. Methods: A total of 100 participants comprise 50 unilateral primary pterygium eyes from 50 patients and 50 normal adults were recruited in

Introduction: This paper aimed to describe variation in oculovisual function between unilateral primary pterygium and normal adults using computerized M&S Smart System II. Methods: A total of 120 participants comprise 60 unilateral primary pterygium eyes from 60 pterygium patients and 60 normal adults were recruited in this study. Diagnosis and

This study aimed compares the reliability of subjectively graded real-image pterygium based on its translucence appearance between experienced clinicians. Thirty (30) primary pterygium images from 30 pterygium patients were captured in a standardized magnification, illumination and formatting setting as previously described. All images were project

T Discovery and development of new drugs from marine and freshwater animal remain one of the most challenging areas in recent marine sciences field. Thus, the object of current study to examine the antifungal activity of Asian swamp eel (Monopterus albus) skin mucus. Eel skin mucus aqueous and methanol extracts were prepared with different extract

Introduction: The proposed freeze-dried approach for estimating pterygium dry weight closes the gap which address the possible effect of corneal compression due to pterygium on the corneal surface, translating simple laboratory procedure to a clinical practice which essential in predicting induced-corneal astigmatism. This study aim to compare an o

Purpose. This study aimed to evaluate tear film and lid margin changes in patients with different types of primary pterygium. Methods. A total of 123 participants comprises of normal patients (n=30), patients with type I pterygium (n=30), type II pterygium (n=32) and type III pterygium (n=31) without ocular pathologies were selected from patients w

This paper aims to construct a 3D Malay city based on data collected from DJI Phantom 3, a multi rotor drone, and further analyse the urban form of traditional Malay cities using 3 main urban form components which are buildings, land use and streets. Kota Bharu was selected as the study area and the flight mission produced 793 images which were pro

Objective – This study proposes an integrated Islamic microfinance model in alleviating poverty and improving the performance of microenterprises based on a case study of Indonesia, by focusing specifically on BRI Microbanking. Design/methodology – This study adopts the exploratory study to construct the integrated Islamic microfinance with the

Extracellular matrix (ECM) based bioscaffolds prepared by decellularization has increasingly emerged in tissue engineering application because it has structural, biochemical, and biomechanical cues that have dramatic effects upon cell behaviors. Therefore, we developed a closed sonication decellularization system to prepare ideal bioscaffolds with
