Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Extreme temperature events bring significant effects on the environment and society. Consequently, investigating the best fit for extreme temperature data is important for hydrological study and event forecasting. The main aim of this study is to determine the best fit probability distribution for monthly and annual extreme temperatures. The maximu

Statistical Optimization of Adsorption Processes for the Removal of Phenol by AC Derived from Baobab Fruit Shell
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Baobab fruit shell (BFS) biomass was used as an alternative precursor for producing high surface area and microporous baobab fruit shell activated carbon (BFS-AC) by chemical activation using KOH. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was performed for the characterization of baobab fruit shell activated carbon. The adsorption property of BFS-AC for t

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Recently, starch-based bioplastics have been proposed to curb the problem caused by conventional plastics. Yet, current bioplastics are made from food sources which cause competition with food industries. Hence, we have produced bioplastics using rotten starch-based material to tackle this problem. In this study, a comprehensive investigation has b

Changing Landscape of Liver Cirrhosis in multi-Racial Asian Country: a Decade Comparison
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Chronic viral hepatitis B infection was the most common cause of liver cirrhosis in Asian countries, however with the rising prevalence of obesity and implementation of prevention strategies for viral hepatitis B transmission, we predict that there is a change in the epidemiology of liver cirrhosis. Our aim is to determine the c

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION: Crohn disease (CD) is a chronic progressive disease that is associated with high surgical rates. In view of our recent practice is starting biologic therapy early, we sought to determine whether there were differences in surgical rates between patients who were exposed or not exposed to biologic therapy. METHODOLOGY: This was a retros

Efficacy and Safety of per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy for the Treatment of Achalasia Cardia in Malaysia: a Single Centre Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION: Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), introduced in 2010, has become a widely accepted treatment for achalasia cardia. However, POEM procedure is technically challenging and recommended to be performed by experienced endoscopists. Our objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of POEM procedures performed in a tertiary referral cent

Development, Validation and Acceptability of a Newly Developed Nutrition Resource Kit for at-Risk and Malnourished Elderly in Health Clinics Setting
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The elderly population is highly vulnerable to malnutrition, including those in the community. The use of nutrition education as part of nutrition intervention is able to improve their nutritional status. Hence, provision of a nutrition resource kit addressing the needs of at-risk and malnourished elderly would be advantageous. This r

Riders’ Food Safety Knowledge and Practices: do They Comply
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The food service industry has evolved recently to cope with global changes and demands. Food riders have been recruited to keep the food business significant in an area with food safety concerns in mind. Although food riders don't need to take food safety and hygiene courses, undoubtedly it is their responsibility to prevent foodborne disease o

Changing Landscape of Liver Cirrhosis in multi-Racial Asian Country: a Decade Comparison
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives: Viral hepatitis B was a commonest cause of cirrhosis in Asian countries, however with the rising prevalence of obesity and prevention strategy for viral hepatitis B, we predict that there is a change in the epidemiology of cirrhosis. Our aim is to determine the change of aetiology of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in our centre.
