Serum Cortisol and Cardiometabolic Parameters in Young Adults: Does Sex Matter?
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: Young men are at higher cardiovascular risk compared to the female counterparts. Since cortisol could have a role in the pathophysiology of cardiometabolic syndrome, it could contribute to the observed intersex risk difference. The aim of this study is to examine the association between cortisol level and the cardiometabolic parameters

The Use of Active Melioidosis Detect Tm in Early Diagnosis of Melioidosis in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan and Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Melioidosis is endemic in Malaysia and an important cause of sepsis. Current gold standard for diagnosis is by culture method,but its long procedure will delay the treatment leading to hospital-related mortality.Thus,a good rapid test is needed to reduce its mortality burden. Recently, Active Melioidosis Detect (AMD) have been shown t

Opportunistic Bacteria Dominate the Soil Microbiome Response to Phenanthrene in a microcosm-Based Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Bioremediation offers a sustainable approach for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment; however, information regarding the microbial communities involved remains limited. In this study, microbial community dynamics and the abundance of the key gene (PAH-RHDα) encoding a ring hydroxylating dioxygenase involved in P

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

International migration has drawn much attention from social scientists in recent decades and large-scale migration has become a permanent and substantive part of global socio-economic development. There are many kinds of migration, from refugees to skilled migrants. The migration of highly skilled people from developing to developed countries is k

Synthesis of Fish Gelatin Nanoparticles and their Application for the Drug Delivery Based on Response Surface Methodology
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Fish gelatin nanoparticle is produced using Tilapia fish skin for the first time by the two-step desolvation method. Fish gelatin is chosen for producing gelatin nanoparticles because no experiment have been done in using fish gelatin and to counter the problem associated with the use of mammalian gelatin, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy d

Past, Current and Future Perspectives of Housing Development and Policy in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Irrespective of which category of country, whether developed or developing, housing issues will never end. Malaysia itself has several housing issues, in particular the concept of housing development which began with “sell-then-build” concept where a developer sells houses prior to its construction. Later in 2007, a law was introduced, encourag

heat-Treated Cnc/pva Composite from Natural Fibre for Wax Removal of Batik Wastewater Treatment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) have significant properties such as low density, high specific resistance, excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, low-cost, low abrasive nature, and reactive surface for easy modification. Water contamination from various sources has become a serious problem in recent years. Hence, this study will serve the

Incorporation of the Microencapsulated Antimicrobial Agent Phytoncide Into Denture Base Resin
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background This study aimed to fabricate a denture base resin (DBR) containing phytoncide microcapsules (PTMCs) and determine the mechanical properties of the resin and antifungal activity. Methods Fifty‐four heat cured rectangular DBR specimens (64 x 10 x 3.3 ± 0.2 mm) containing nine concentrations of PTMC between 0 ‐ 5% (wt/wt) were fabrica

Strontium Ranelate Reduces Duration of Consolidation Phase in Distraction Osteogenesis: 2 Case Reports
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Distraction osteogenesis a debilitating and time consuming procedure in orthopedics. The common indications for distraction osteogenesis are open fractures, non union and bone resection due to chronic osteomyelitis or large bone loss at initial time of trauma. It is often a limb salvage procedure but also has a role in cosmetic lengthening in short
