An Assessment of Oxidative Potential of Indoor/outdoor Airborne Particulate Matter at Roadside and Urban Background Sites in London
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

INTRODUCTION: People spend most of their time indoors, in buildings such as schools and offices, as well as their homes. Recent interest in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) suggests that the contribution of outdoor pollutants and indoor airborne particulate may be responsible for the aggregation of a number of respiratory illnesses. Because of these health

Urine Output in Diagnosing Acute Kidney Injury and Predicting Mortality
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Urine output is the oldest biomarker of AKI. Clinically it can be the first indication of kidney dysfunction, especially in critical care settings where hourly urine outputs are routinely measured. It has been shown that the ideal urine output threshold for prediction of mortality or dialysis was 0.3 ml/kg/h for moving block of 6 hours.

Acute Kidney Injury in a Malaysian Intensive Care Unit: Assessment of Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcome
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is common and carries a high mortality rate. Most epidemiological studies were retrospective and were done in Western populations. We aim to assess its incidence utilising both urine output and creatinine criteria, and its association with risk factors and outcome. Material and Methods This was a single centre, pro

Piezoelectric Thin Films for Double Electrode Cmos MEMS Surface Acoustic Wave (Saw) Resonator
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

CMOS integration for RF-MEMS is desired to yield compact, low-power and portable devices. In this work, we illustrate the usage of double electrode CMOS SAW resonators using both ZnO and AlN as its piezoelectric material. Double electrode transducers were chosen, as they are better at suppressing undesired acoustic reflections compared to single el

Dependence of Preferred c-Axis Orientation on RF Magnetron Sputtering Power for Azo/si Acoustic Wave Devices
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

We report the deposition of high quality c-axis oriented Aluminium doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) on silicon substrate for surface acoustic wave (SAW) applications. AZO thin film is prepared by Radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. Sputtering is a preferred method because it is able to perform deposition at low temperature, produce uniform thin film

Refeeding Hypophosphataemia in a Malaysian Intensive Care Unit: Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Refeeding syndrome is characterised by acute electrolyte derangement following the start of nutrition. Hypophosphataemia is the predominant feature of the electrolyte derangement, hence commonly used for its definition. We aim to assess the incidence of refeeding hypophosphataemia, and its associated risk factors, and outcome in our l

Medical Specialist Training: Views from Stakeholders
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In Malaysia, medical specialisation training is mainly carried out by the public universities. A survey was carried out to explore the views of medical specialists in the country on issues such as structure of medical specialty training, availability of human resource, public/private sector competition, competency and apprenticeship, and its impact

Aggression Following Benzodiazepine Ingestion in a Forensic Psychiatric Patient: a Case Report
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Objective: The incidence of benzodiazepine paradoxical reaction is uncommon. It may be implicated with crime as will be described in this case report. Method: We report a 37 year-old schizophrenia patient who was detained by the authority under Section 392/397 of Penal Code assaulting a lady using sharp weapon. He had history of illicit substance a

"i Cant Pray" - the Spiritual Needs of Malaysian Muslim Patients Suffering from Depression
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The mainstay of treatment of depression relies on pharmacological and psychological treatments. On top of that, evidence also recognizes the vital role of spirituality for human wellness which leads to growing interest in its utilization to treat depression. However, research on spirituality among Muslims in relation to depression is
