Decellularization of Meniscal Tissue Using Ultrasound Chemical Process for tissue-Engineered Scaffold Applications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Scaffolds play a key role in the process of regeneration and morphogenesis of tissue or organ. We have studied a novel application of ultrasound irradiation to prepare decellularized tissue for tissue-engineered scaffolds. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possibility of ultrasound energy on decellularization of cartilage tissue. T

Scaffolds play a key role in the process of regeneration and morphogenesis of tissue or organ. We have studied a novel application of microwave radiation to prepare decellularized tissue for tissue-engineered scaffolds. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possibility of microwave effects on decellularization of soft and cartilage tis

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour: Cause of Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare tumours. It can cause occult gastrointestinal bleeding when conventional investigations fail to detect the bleeding lesions. Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding also represents a challenge in the quest for the clinical diagnosis and its therapeutic approach. We report a case of gastrointestinal bleedi

Anterior Myocardial Infarction Associated with Myocardial Bridging in a Young Man
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A 43-year-old man presented with acute extensive anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. During coronary angiogram, a segment of myocardial bridging was noted in the mid-segment of left anterior descending artery. The association of myocardial bridging and an anterior ST segment elevation is rarely reported in the medical literature. M

Development and progress are essential to achieving higher standards of living and enhanced quality of life. Muslim countries, after independence, have aspired and struggled for development and a decent life without fully comprehending the underlying rationale that formed the basis for this striving. It would be instructive, therefore, to reflect o

Change of Blood Flow in Common Carotid Artery During Physical Exercise Stress: Evaluation for Aerobic Exercise Intervention
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Exercise training is able to alter cardiovascular fitness. Treadmill exercise testing currently is commonly used in the clinical method of evaluating a subject's functional capacity and aerobic fitness. In this chapter, a fundamental understanding of age-associated normohemodynamic state is described for comparison data and for an improved mean

Bank Specific and Macroeconomic Determinants of Bank Profitability: Empirical Evidence from the China Banking Sector
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper seeks to examine the determinants of the profitability of the Chinese banking sector during the post-reform period of 2000–2005. The empirical findings from this study suggest that all the determinants variables have statistically significant impact on China banks profitability. However, the impacts are not uniform across bank types. W

Optimization of Arecoline Extraction from Areca Nut Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide.
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The mass transfer of arecoline using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) from areca nut is studied by analyzing the diffusion coefficient derived from Crank equation for sphere model. Comparisons of the SC-CO2 extracted yield under various conditions showed that the combination of pressure at 10.3 MPa and temperature of 50°C provided the optimum

The Application of the Green Building Index (Gbi) on Sustainable Site Planning and Management for Residential New Construction: Prospects and Future Benefits
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Green Building Index (GBI) rating system is developed and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia (PAM) and Association of Consulting Engineers (ACEM) that helps to assess the environmental performance of the buildings. This paper aims to review its application background particularly for residential new construction projects. Th

The Effects of the Choice of Meta Analysis Model on the Overall Estimates for Continuous Data with Missing Standard Deviations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Abstract— The choice between the fixed and random effects model for providing an overall meta analysis estimate in continuous data may affect the accuracy of these estimates. For studies with complete information, the Cochrane’s Q-test could provide some guide on the choice, although the power of this test is quite low. If the study- level stan
