Prevalence of Augmented Renal Clearance in a Malaysian Intensive Care Setting
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is a phenomenon where there is elevated renal clearance and defined by adjusted body weight creatinine clearance > 130ml/min. ARC results in changes of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of antimicrobial therapy being administered, which may result in its subtherapeutic dose. We evaluated the pr

Comparison Between Different Equations for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (Gfr) with Kinetic Estimates of Gfr in the Critically Ill
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION Accurate assessment of GFR in ICU patients is very important for institution of supportive therapy, preventive therapy early renal support, drug dosing modification or avoidance of nephrotoxic drugs and modification of drug dosing. Kinetic estimate of GFR (keGFR) takes into account the changes of creatinine over time, creatinine produc

Comparison Between point-Based and ring-Based Technologies in Keratometric Measurement Among Post Myopic Laser Refractive Surgery Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Corneal power or keratometric value represents two-third of total refractive power of the eye. It is an important parameter in intraocular lens calculation. Purpose of the study was to evaluate repeatability and agreement of keratometric measurements obtained from a six points-based keratometry device; IOLMaster 500 (Carl Zeiss Medite

Comparison of higher-Order Aberration Values Between Different Aberrometry Technologies in Preoperative Laser Refractive Surgery Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Purpose of this study was to evaluate the inter-device agreement of ocular and corneal higher-order aberration measurements using various aberrometers. Materials and method: Ocular and corneal higher-order aberrations were measured from 57 eyes. For ocular aberration, the measurements were obtained from WASCA Analyzer (Carl Zeiss Medi

chondrocytes-Induced Sox5/6/9 and Tert Genes for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering: Hype or Hope?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Articular cartilage covers the ends of bones and forms a joint with another bone. This hyaline cartilage plays a significant role in weightbearing support system for the human body. This unique structure is aneural and avascular. It has limited capacity to regenerate once broken. If left untreated, this condition can worsen and later develop into d
