Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Screening of a disease can be understood as detecting a disease in an individual before clinical symptoms are apparent. In case of diabetes mellitus, as of now, the preferred screening test is still fasting blood sugar (FBS). Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) however, did make its way into guidelines as a diagnostic tool apart from its usual monitoring rol

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Diabetes mellitus is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Up to 35% of patients with heart failure have diabetes mellitus. Some studies have suggested the existence of diabetic cardiomyopathy, a unique entity which is independent of other cardiac risk factors. The choice of antidiabetics in this population should be taken into caref

Prevalence of Thyroid Disorders in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Our prevalence of thyroid dysfunction are compatible most studies world wide (2.1% for hypothyroidism and 3.4% hyperthyroidism). Prevalence of goitre is 9.3% and thyroid nodule is 3.6%. There may be pockets of iodine deficiency which contributes to goitre in rural areas. Goitre in the coastal areas are likely autoimmune. Large proportion of the pop

Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Enhancing Nitrogen Uptake and Use Efficiency of Urea Fertlizer by Paddy
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Efficient use of urea fertilizer (UF) as important nitrogen (N) source in the world's rice production has been a concern for the economic sustainability of cropping systems. The use of carbon-based materials to enhance UF efficiency still facing a great challenge. Hence, N Nano-carrier is developed based on functionalized multiwall carbon nanot
