Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Fasting in Ramadhan is a religious obligation for every Muslim with its well-known good benefits for health.1 However, there is no specific guideline in terms of precaution for patients at risk to develop nephrolithiasis.  Nephrolithiasis and acute kidney injury may occur concomitantly due to its common risk factors which is dehydration. Poor or

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

 Lung carcinoma typically presents with haemoptysis and constitutional symptoms on a background history of chronic cigarette smoking.  A chest X-ray can pick up these lesions in view of its radio-opacity and nodular appearances that are manifested in more than 90% of cases.1  However it can be mistakenly interpreted as normal if it is obsc

Localized Erythematous Pappular Rash: a Rare Presentation of Essential Thrombocythemia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms which typically presents with thrombotic vasomotor symptoms or bleeding tendencies. Papular rash is a rare manifestation of ET and may cause delay in making the diagnosis and hence institution of the treatment. We report a case of ET in a 50- year-old gentleman, who presented

Review on Advances in Porous Al Composites and the Possible Way Forward
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Porous aluminum (Al) composites are lightweight and high-strength materials composing of Al as a matrix material with some strengthening reinforcements and pore-forming agents that result in the formation of new material with superior physical properties and energy absorption capacities. This work gives an overview of the porous Al-foams developed

Influence of agro-Based Reinforcements on the Properties of Aluminum Matrix Composites: a Systematic Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) have been extensively studied primarily due to higher strength-to-weight ratio, lower cost, and higher wear resistance properties. However, increasing demand for economical and energy-efficient materials in the automotive, aerospace and other applications is tailoring research area in the agro-based composite mater

The Algorithm is Ready to be a Shaykh Murabbi: Can We Define the Social Media Ethics Sometime Soon?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The algorithmic dilemma that we are in right now is severe than what we really think. It has changed its shape from a smart assistant to an uncontrollable dictator; to an independent troublemaker that can systematically crush one’s everything, and I do not really know what that everything is since everything has now become unpredictable. Even whe

Burkholderia Pseudomallei short-Chain Dehydrogenase/ Oxidoreductase: Potential Urine Biomarker Candidate for Acute Melioidosis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION: In the current climate of urgency in identifying biomarkers for the development of rapid diagnostic kits, the use of urine samples to diagnose acute melioidosis was evaluated, comparing urine samples from Burkholderia pseudomallei culture-positive and culture-negative patients, and comparing pneumonic and septicemic melioidosis. MATER

Optimized Preparation of Urine Samples from Acute Melioidosis Patients for in-Solution Proteomic Studies Using Lcms Qtof or Maldi Tof Ms
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Investigation of urine proteome in patients with acute melioidosis may reveal potential disease markers, from either bacterial or human proteins. We used an in-solution gel-free method instead of 2-DE to detect human and Burkholderia pseudomallei proteins in urine of patients with acute melioidosis. Here, we propose a simpler, economi
