Establishment of Simultaneous Detection and Quantitation of hcv-Rna by Third Generation Intercalating Dye real-Time Pcr
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Rapid quantification of hepatitis C virus is helpful in determining and monitoring of the disease progression and nature of the virus replication. Objective: The aim of the present study was to establish a fast, specific and sensitive tool for HCV-RNA quantification. Methodology: A total of 50 serum samples, comprising of 40 HCV-positiv

Issues Faced by Adolescents Living with Hiv in Shelter Homes in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

UNICEF Malaysia has found that adolescents with HIV face several emotional, behavioural and social problems. Based on past literature, the result of these incidences has led to a lower well-being in these aspects. As the stage of adolescence is filled with change, inner growth, and sometimes conflict, adolescents coping with HIV face an added stres

Recombinant Sclerostin Antagonizes Effects of Ex Vivo Mechanical Loading in Trabecular Bone and Increases Osteocyte Lacunar Size
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Sclerostin has emerged as an important regulator of bone mass. We have shown that sclerostin can act by targeting late osteoblasts/osteocytes to inhibit bone mineralization and to upregulate osteocyte expression of catabolic factors, resulting in osteocytic osteolysis. Here we sought to examine the effect of exogenous sclerostin on osteocytes in tr

Exposure to Tobacco Secondhand Smoke and its Associated Factors Among non-Smoking Adults in smoking-Restricted and non-Restricted Areas: Findings from a Nationwide Study in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objectives Secondhand smoke (SHS) has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the aims of the paper are to assess SHS exposure among non-smoking adults in Malaysia attending various smoking-restricted and non-restricted public areas according to the Control of Tobacco Product Regulations (CTPR) as well as its relationship

Diversity and Community Composition of Fishes in the Pusu River Gombak, Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Pusu River has been receiving increased pollution loads because of a significant amount of land-clearing activities for development projects. A total of 113 numbers of fishes belonging to six species under six families were recorded from Pusu River throughout the study period (November 2014–March 2015). The most dominant species were Barbonym

Surface Morphology Study in High Speed Milling of Soda Lime Glass
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Soda lime glass has a wide range of applications in optical, bio-medical and semi-conductor industries. It is undeniably a challenging task to produce micro finish surface on an amorphous brittle solid like soda lime glass due to its low fracture toughness. In order to obtain such a finish surface, ductile machining has been exploited, as this usua

Isolated regan-Morrey Type III Fracture of the Ulnar Coronoid Process: a Report of Two Cases
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction:Fracture of the ulnar coronoid process is uncommon. It is commonly associated with posterior dislocation of the elbow, but it may also present as an isolated fracture. In general, all ulnar coronoid process fractures with elbow joint instability and large fracture fragments are fixed surgically. We report two cases of the rare isolated

Tool Wear Mechanisms During Cutting of Soda Lime Glass
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Soda lime glass milling has high performance application. It is a challenging task to achieve fracture free surface on this material due to its brittle nature. High-speed end milling is capable to achieve ductile mode in an enhance flexibility. In this research, end milling of soda lime using uncoated carbide tool was performed where spindle speed

Comparison Between Nfc/rfid and BAR Code System for Halal Tags Identification: Paired Sample t-Test Evaluation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Malaysia is a modern Muslim country where the research on Halal product identification is at the peak. In this study, the authors have developed the mobile applications which is based on Radio Frequency Identification near filed communication RFID/NFC. The author first developed the database based on the data from Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia JA

Paediatric Infected non-Union of an Open Femoral Diaphyseal Fracture: the Role of Temporary Locking Plate and Bone Graft Substitute
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Chronic osteomyelitis is a complication of open fractures in children especially in rural areas. It is difficult to treat, and it may lead to infected non-union. We present a case of an open fracture Gustillo-Anderson grade IIIa complicated with chronic osteomyelitis. He presented with non-union six months post-trauma after the initial surgical deb
