Despite causing significant health problem which needs to be intervened, only few studies were conducted in Malaysia and there is no previous study conducted in Pahang. Thus, this st

Injectable self-Hardened Synthetic Bone Cement (Osteopaste) as a Filler for Bone Defects: a Histological Result from Experimental Study in New Zealand White Rabbits’ Tibia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Calcium phosphate cements have become a subject of interest in biomedical material researchers to promote healing of bone fracture or in reconstructed bone defects because of their excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity1. So far, there is no locally product of injectable calcium phosphate cement in Malaysia. Therefore, injectable Osteopaste has

A Numerical Solution for Heat Transfer Past a Stretching Sheet with Ohmic Dissipation and Suction or Injection Problem Using Haar Wavelet Quasilinearization Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper represents a numerical analysis for heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid flow past a stretching sheet with ohmic dissipation and suction/injection. The partial differential equations are reduced into a set of convenient nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the boundary conditions. Haar wavelet quasilinearization method (HWQM) is us

Keladi Candik (Alocasia Longiloba Miq.) Petiole Extracts Promote Wound Healing in a Full Thickness Excision Wound Model in Rats
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: To investigate the wound-healing effect of Alocasia longiloba (A. longiloba) petiole extract on wounds in rats. Methods: Twenty-two male Sprague-dawley rats were randomly assigned to receive 10% solcoseryl gel, phosphate buffer saline, 50% ethanol, 95% ethanol and hexane extracts of A. longiloba at 1.5%, 3% and 6% doses, respectively. A

Systematic Significance of Leaf Epidermal Characterictics in Shorea Roxb. (Dipterocarpaceae) in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The taxonomic problems in Shorea mostly involve identification and classification. The investigation presented in this study aims to prove that leaf epidermal characteristics have taxonomic value in Shorea. Epidermal peels were prepared using Jeffrey’s solution. The underside of the leaf surface was scraped with a razor blade to remove lose cells

The Evaluation of Pinhole Glasses as Visual Therapy in Improving Refractive Error
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Visual therapy or eye exercise, which is widely used in behavioral optometry, has been successfully helping some visual disorders, especially binocular vision problem. In Bates System of Eye Exercise, it is claimed that eye exercise can restore vision with refractive error by completely relaxing the eyes. One of the ways to relax the
