Sjogren’s syndrome is often referred to as the “great mimicker” because its symptoms often imitate other diseases. It is an autoimmune disease, and a chronic disorder that causes insufficient moisture production in certain glands of the body. It may occur when a person’s normally protective immune system attacks and destroys moisture-produc

The present study used in vitro and in silico techniques, as well as the metabolomics approach to characterise α-glucosidase inhibitors from different fractions of Clinacanthusnutans. C. nutansis a medicinal plant belonging to the Acanthaceae family, and is traditionally used to treat diabetes in Malaysia. n-Hexane, n-hexane: ethyl acetate (1:1, v

Clinacanthus nutans, an herbal shrub belonging to the Acanthaceae family, is traditionally used as a functional food to treat various ailments in Malaysia and Indonesia. Although the polar fraction of this plant shows nontoxic effect, the toxicity of the non-polar extract is not reported so far. The present study aimed to assess the toxic effect an

Extensive research has been undertaken in the area of accounting harmonization ever since the idea of harmonizing accounting standards and practices was probably initiated as early as 1930s. The transformation of International Accounting Standard Committee (IASC) into International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) in 2001, which refines the harmoni

Introduction: A handful of medical schools have implemented the Islamic input in medical program into their medical curricula. However we are facing a setback as there is no validated standard assessment tool to measure the effectiveness of this academic input for undergraduate medical programme. Therefore the objective of this study is to design a

Islamic financial institutions (IFI) that are governed by sharī‘ah principles are expected to have inherently strong ethical roots such as promoting justice and avoiding any illegal and unethical elements. Hence, ethics has become a vital component in order to provide “value” for consumers. Indeed, there are numerous Qur’Énic injunctions

Nowadays a wide variety of metal joining methods are used in fabrication industries. In this study, the effect of various welding parameters of the TIG welding process on microhardness, depth, and microstructure of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of L450 HSLA steel and optimizing these process parameters following Taguchi experimental design was inves

Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith or lempoyang has various application especially in pharmacological field. This study investigated effects of different organic fertilizers and harvesting times on growth of lempoyang grown at Pahang Matriculation College. The 9 treatment combinations were arranged in a randomized complete block design with five replicat

Candida albicans is becoming a significant problem for oral candidiasis worldwide. In addition, the proliferation of antifungal-resistant C. albicans has become a major concern. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of activated virgin coconut oil (AVCO) and the crude extract of virgin coconut oil (VCO) to search for a new antifungal a

The analytical method used in the quality control of Clinacanthus nutans leaves has not been well developed. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a simple analytical method to predict α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of this herb based on its infrared fingerprinting. The dried extracts obtained from maceration using solvents with different pola
