Concentration of metals (Zn, Cu and Pb) in the edible portion of commercially important blood cockle (Anadara granosa) collected from Langkawi Island, Malaysia was analyzed. Samples were collected from 3 different stations namely Kuah (KU), Kuala Triang (KT) and Pantai Kok (PK) during 2009. Heavy metal concentrations were detected using Inductively

Theoretical Analysis of Multiple Transmitters/receivers on the Performance of Free Space Optics (Fso) Link
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Free Space Optics (FSO) vulnerability towards atmospheric phenomena has introduced the usage of multiple transmitters/receivers in the FSO system as the optimal solution. With current interest in this technology as an alternative backup to the already established broadband technology, a proper understanding on the performance of FSO link has be

The Utility of Biomarker Excretion Rates in Acute Kidney Injury
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION: The concentration of urinary biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI) is influenced by variation in urinary concentration within and between individuals.1 Normalisation to urine creatinine concentration is commonly used to account for this variation.2 The accuracy of this method is compromised by tubular secretion of creatinine, and va

Endovascular Embolisation in Acute Arterial Haemorrhage Cases and Hypervascular Lesions: a Single Institution Experience
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction Endovascular embolisation had played a major role in the acute management of acute arterial haemorrhage. It had proven benefits in acute upper and lower gastrointestinal haemorrhage, massive haemoptysis, bleeding visceral pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. It also had played a major role in the preoperative embolisation o
