Effects of Road Humps on Residential Living Environment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This research has investigated the effects of road humps in residential environment at Taman Keramat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Traffic volume, noise level, and speed level were the variables selected to measure the traffic living environment. Questionnaires were used to evaluate the residents' perceptions regarding their living environment. Fi

Role of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Severe Thyrotoxicosis Secondary to Grave’s Disease with Several Organ Decompensation: a Case Report and Review of Literature
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We report a case of 45 year-old lady whom had received therapeutic plasma exchange for severe thyrotoxicosis with several organ decompensations due to the overwhelming autoimmunity. She presented with symptoms of breathlessness, lethargy and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. She had underlying, untreated Grave’s disease for sev

“we are the Soul, Pearl and Beauty of Hindu Kush Mountains”: Exploring Resilience and Psychological Wellbeing of Kalasha, an Ethnic and Religious Minority Group in Pakistan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Kalasha are a marginalized ethnic and religious minority group in northern Pakistan. The Kalasha minority is known for their divergent polytheistic beliefs, and represents the outliers of the collectively monotheistic Muslim population of Pakistan. This study aimed to explore the psychological resilience beliefs and lived experiences of the Kal

Managing Patient Safety and Quality of Care in Public Hospitals in Pakistan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The provision of confined and renowned care to the patients is the most important concern of hospitals, in line with patients’ privilege and rights. It is the state’s primary responsibility to provide all types of free healthcare services to the population, particularly maternal healthcare, on a priority basis. In this regard, public hospitals

Inter Cell Interference Mitigation Technique in Femtocell and Macrocell in Lte System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

To handle huge data traffic in networks, deployment of femtocell and macrocell in Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the future of the network society. The efficiency of the system is increased. However, the system deployment may yield to major issue such as the inter cell interference with their neighboring cells. The effect of this issue is the occurre

Dynamic Frequency Reuse: a Method for Interference Mitigation in Ofdma Based lte-A Networks
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Spectrum scarcity is one of the most discussed restraining aspects in wireless communication system. To solve this issue Frequency Reuse (FR) concept is introduced. It is a promising development to fulfil the requirement of Long Term Evolution Advanced (LET-A). With the introduction of FR comes the problem of Inter Cell Interference as the neighbor

Interference Avoidance Using Dynamic Frequency Reuse for lte-A System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

With the increasing demand for spectrum in communication system, Long Term Evolution (LTE) system has been proposed. It allowed users to use a new and much wider spectrum comparing to the other previous technologies. To utilize the full capacity of the LTE system Frequency Reuse (FR) has been adapted. It is a promising aspect of transmission of hig

Dilemma of Diagnosing Ocd: a Case Report
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may present in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia. However at times it is difficult to distinguish between the pure obsession and psychotic obsessions that exist in patients. We present a case of a patient initially diagnosed as Schizophrenia due to the disorganized aspect of her behaviour, only to discover an

Haloperidol in Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia: a Case Report
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A substantial percentage of patients will have an inadequate response to clozapine in treatment resistance schizophrenia. Therefore, different approaches need to be considered for managing this group of patients. We present a case of a treatment resistant schizophrenia patient who shows poor response toward clozapine. Later, he was started with hal

Distinct Role of Kappa Opioid Receptor in Attenuating Relapse to Morphine/methamphetamine (Polydrug) Dependence
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A combination of 0.3 mg/kg buprenorphine and 1.0 mg/kg naltrexone treatment shows a promising result due to its ability to attenuate reinstatement (relapse) in morphine/methamphetamine (polydrug)-dependent mice in a conditioned place preference (CPP) model. This prompted us to identify which opioid receptor that contributes to its anti-relapse acti
