An Overview of Drug Delivery Vehicles for Cancer Treatment: Nanocarriers and Nanoparticles Including Photovoltaic Nanoparticles
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Cancer is a complicated disease for which finding a cure presents challenges. In recent decades, new ways to treat cancer are being sought; one being nanomedicine, which manipulates nanoparticles to target a cancer and release drugs directly to the cancer cells. A number of cancer treatments based on nanomedicine are under way and mostly are in pre

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Critical size defects (CSD) in the long bones of New Zealand White rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have been used for years as an experimental model for investigation of the effectiveness of a new bone substitute materials. There are varieties of protocols available in the literature. This technical note attempts to present an alternat

Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm: Management Issues in the Era of Endovascular Treatment
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Common iliac artery aneurysm (CIAA) is rare. It only constitutes about 2% of all abdominal aneurysms. CIAA develops silently with typical presentation of hemorrhagic shock after rupture, which carries a very high perioperative mortality. Atypical presentation includes unilateral lower limb weakness, pain and swelling. These symptoms should alert cl

Controversies with self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System from Pharmacokinetic Point of View
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) is an isotropic mixture of lipid, surfactant and co-surfactant, which forms a fine emulsion when comes in contact of an aqueous medium with mild agitation. SEDDS is considered as a potential platform for oral delivery of hydrophobic drug in order to overcome their poor and irregular bioavailability chal

Acceptance and Use of Information and Communication Technology by Academicians: Towards a Conceptual Framework
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has changed the world scenario including business and economies. There are new opportunities and challenges for every country to produce knowledge oriented citizens. Driven by these changes, numerous higher education institutions around the world are integrating and adopting latest ICT tools to deliver

Review on Recent Development Micro Gas Turbine -trigeneration System and Photovoltaic Based Hybrid Energy System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Research on distributed power generation as an alternative method to the conventional power generation system continue to be developed to improve its commercialization capabilities. The cogeneration system and trigeneration system are technological improved alternatives in distributed generation where they offer enhancement and reliability in term

Domestic Violence Subjected to Legal and Cultural Pressure
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A society based on patriarchal structure brings lots of discriminations against females in family and society, so different violent relationships appear mainly targeting women as the victims. The domestic violence imposed by the partner of the woman tortures her verbally and physically, captures her to live in a suffering environment or enforces he

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Comparative leaf anatomy study were conducted in three taxa of Acanthaceae from peninsular Malaysia. Three chosen taxa were Acanthus ebracreatus (Vahl), Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees and Chroesthes longifolia (Wight) B. Hansen which is commonly used as traditional medicine especially in peninsular Malaysia. The main objective is t

Risk Analysis Model for Construction Projects Using Fuzzy Logic
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The construction industry project is more subjective and risky compared with the others industries because of the unique characteristics of construction activities such as poor working condition, the significant frequency of accidents and the occupational risky situation. Risk analysis and management on the project sites is the first key to achieve
