Background: The term “sick building syndrome” (SBS) had started to gain popularity in the 1980s. So far, studies on this subject have been conducted among office personnel and then extended to include healthcare workers working in hospitals, residents, and schoolchildren. The aim of this review is to identify the scope of research of the studies conducted on SBS in the last 15 years, particularly among office personnel, to determine the knowledge gap in the nature of illness, risk factors, individual and economic consequences, preventive strategies, and costeffectiveness of the available intervention strategies. Materials and Methods: PubMed and Medline database were used for the purpose of searching for articles published from January 2003 to May 2018. The search was based on the inclusion criteria and the keywords “sick building syndrome” and “office personnel”. Twentythree articles were assessed and reviewed in the final stage. Results: Fourteen cross-sectional studies, three longitudinal studies, one cohort study, one case-control study, one case report, one systematic review, and epidemiological modelling, and one cost-benefit study were found. These studies were conducted in the US, Japan, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Norway, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Egypt. Twenty-one studies focus on epidemiology, mainly the prevalence on SBS symptoms, risk factors, and predictors. One study looked into the cost and benefit of environmental interventions to reduce SBS and the other study was on analytical chemistry. Conclusion: Study areas related to long-term consequences of SBS, behavioural factors contributing to SBS, economic consequences due to SBS, and cost-effectiveness of environmental intervention strategies to minimise SBS have been covered in those studies but scarcity of data remains an issue. Meanwhile, studies in the area of knowledge and attitudes towards SBS, as well as individual preventive measures for SBS are lacking. Further research focusing on these particular domains is called for.

Background: Communication breakdown is one of the major problems that occur during disaster event, despite its importance in disaster management. In recent years, the social media, which has gained its popularity and expanded its function, provides a promising solution in disaster management over traditional communication. This paper aims to determine the role of social media in disaster management cycle and to create a framework for the application. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted systematically using PubMed, Google Scholar, Science-direct and Scopus with keywords of role of social media OR social media AND disaster event OR natural disaster. The literature searched was limited to documented natural disaster for the past ten years, open source articles, original article and reported in English language. Primary screening of title and abstract involved 128 articles, from there, 90 articles were excluded. Secondary eligibility screening of the remaining 38 articles, resulted in 14 articles which were then synthesized and reviewed in this manuscript. Result: A framework was produced pertaining to role of social media according to disaster management cycle. In mitigation phase the role of social media includes incorporation of risk reduction and preventative activities. Further into preparedness phase, social media provides disaster warnings, implement crisis communication activities and signal/detect disaster. Further to response phase, the role includes deliver and analyse news coverage of disaster, provide and receive disaster respond information, send and receive request for assistance and reconnect family members. Finally, in the recovery phase, social media raises donation and awareness, encourage volunteerism and provide/receive information on recovery and rebuilding process. This review highlighted the dynamic and complexity of social media functions in providing better communication approach during disaster management. Conclusion: Social media certainly has the capacity to become an alternative mode of communication to complement traditional communication during disaster. However, drawbacks from using social media and its implications in disaster management need to be considered as well. Keywords: social media; social network, disaster, communication
背景:通信中断在灾害管理中具有重要意义，但却是灾害发生时的主要问题之一。近年来，社交媒体的普及和功能的扩展，为灾害管理提供了比传统通信更有前途的解决方案。本文旨在确定社会媒体在灾害管理周期中的作用，并为其应用创建一个框架。材料与方法:系统检索PubMed、谷歌Scholar、Science-direct、Scopus等综合文献，关键词为social media role OR social media and disaster event OR natural disaster。检索的文献仅限于过去十年记录的自然灾害、开源文章、原创文章和英语报道。初步筛选标题和摘要共纳入128篇文章，从中剔除90篇。对剩余的38篇文章进行二次合格性筛选，得到14篇文章，然后在本文中进行综合和综述。结果:根据灾害管理周期，构建了社会媒体角色的框架。在缓解阶段，社交媒体的作用包括纳入减少风险和预防活动。在备灾阶段，社交媒体提供灾害预警，开展危机沟通活动，发出灾害信号/发现灾害。在响应阶段之后，该角色还包括提供和分析灾难新闻报道，提供和接收灾难响应信息，发送和接收援助请求以及重新联系家庭成员。最后，在恢复阶段，社交媒体提高捐款和意识，鼓励志愿服务，并提供/接收有关恢复和重建过程的信息。这篇综述强调了社会媒体在灾害管理期间提供更好的沟通方法方面的动态和复杂性。结论:在灾难中，社交媒体当然有能力成为一种替代的沟通方式来补充传统的沟通方式。然而，使用社会媒体的缺点及其对灾害管理的影响也需要加以考虑。关键词:社交媒体;社交网络，灾难，沟通

Background: Warfarin is widely used and cost-effective for various indications. However, the narrow therapeutic index of warfarin requires frequent International Normalized Ratio (INR) monitoring. The purpose of this study was to compare the mean differences, to examine the correlation and agreement between the two methods of venipuncture using laboratory assay and by finger prick using Point of Care (POC) device (CoaguChek® XS). Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was done in warfarin Medication Therapeutic Adherence Clinic (MTAC), Kuala Krai Hospital. Convenient sampling was used to recruit patients from August until December 2016. The INR results from CoaguChek® XS were compared with the results from standard laboratory assay. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test, Pearson's correlation and Bland-Altman plot were used for data analysis. Result: A total of 52 patients with 84 paired samples were collected in this study. The mean INR values obtained from CoaguChek® XS was significantly different from standard laboratory method (p<0.001). However, there was a strong positive correlation between these two methods (r=0.941, p<0.001). Besides, Bland-Altman plot demonstrated a good agreement between both methods especially when INR values less than 3.5. Conclusion: Despite the mean differences of INR values between these two methods was statistically significant, but it was clinically not significant (mean difference = 0.32). There was a strong correlation and good agreement between INR values obtained from these two methods. These findings may help clinicians in improving the quality of INR monitoring for patients on warfarin therapy. Keywords: Point of Care device, standard laboratory method, INR, warfarin.

Background: In the health care systems, efficiency measurement is considered as a key step in performing individual performance audits of production units such as, health centres and hospitals. It entails a rational framework through which resources are distributed and shared among health care facilities. Thus, there are two common approaches to measure hospital efficiency namely: non-parametric (DEA) and parametric (SFA). The article is aimed to review the articles to analyze the characteristics of these approaches and to identify the similarities, differences, strengths, and limitations related to them. Materials and Methods: The literature, which related to measuring relative efficiency of hospitals were obtained from online database involving ScienceDirect, Pubmed. The keywords used for the search terms involving hospital efficiency, healthcare efficiency, parametric approach, non-parametric approach, DEA and SFA. The review only for articles published in English language. Result: The required information about methodological approaches were obtained and summarized into the construct form. The discussion was based on approach type in term of non-parametric and parametric. Conclusion: In a nutshell, both of DEA and SFA can be applicable in healthcare setting to measure hospitals efficiency. The selection of the convenient approach is subjected to the aim of the study.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the commonest childhood malignancy and ocular manifestations are uncommon in ALL. Patients may present with non-specific systemic symptoms which are overlooked and life threatening symptoms of leukostasis often present late. Here, we present a rare case of ALL where ocular symptoms preceded constitutional symptoms. Materials and Methods: A case report. Result: A 11-year-old girl presented with a syncopal attack during the fasting month to a primary health center. She was investigated at a tertiary center and diagnosed to have ALL. Further history revealed she had sudden painless severe reduced vision in the right for one month prior to this. Ocular assessment noted her right visual acuity was 5/60 and left visual acuity was 6/6. Her right fundus had a large subhyaloid haemorrhage over the macula and multiple large white-centered haemorrhages (Roth’s spot); while the left fundus showed multiple large Roth’s spots and some intraretinal haemorrhages. Chemotherapy was instituted after immunophenotyping was reported as precursor B-cell ALL. Ocular condition was managed conservatively. There was total resolution of the subhyaloid haemorrhage and retinal haemorrhages in both eyes and she regained full vision bilaterally while on induction therapy over 5 months. Conclusion: Life threatening conditions such as ALL should be considered in children with sudden, painless, reduced vision and urgent ophthalmology assessment is important for early detection. Blurry vision could be the earliest symptom in ALL. Awareness on eye health must be emphasized in school by the educators for early detection of both sight and life threatening condition among children.

Background: Health care worker are susceptible to develop musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). Nurses in nursing home setting exposed with physical and psychological stressors and they are prone to develop MSD due to these conditions (Simon et al., 2008). Manual handling while handling elderly patient involved awkward posture which lead to MSD among nurses. Therefore safe patient handling intervention is important in reducing prevalence of MSD among nurses. Materials and Methods: The cluster pre-test and post-test with control group quasi experimental study will be done involving 8 government elderly care homes in West Coast Malaysia. Total 256 nurses and assistant nurses will be involved in this study. Four home care will be in the intervention group. While another 4 home care will be in the control group. Safe patient handling intervention program will be conducted. During health education, health belief model theory will be used to increase the knowledge and subsequently change the practice to safe patient handling. Result: Prior to intervention program, module intervention and health education material will be developed. The health education and training will be given according to module provided. Outcome measurements are musculoskeletal disorder, knowledge and practice of safe patient handling. These outcomes will be measured through selfadministered questionnaires. Data will be analysed using SPSS version 22. To measure the association, Chi-square test, Mann Whitney U test, independent t test, dependent t test and Wilcoxon signed rank test will be used and for multivariate analysis, the Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) will be used. Conclusion: Health education on safe patient handling is important in order to reduce the MSD among nurses in elderly care homes.
背景:医务工作者易患肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)。养老院环境中的护士暴露在生理和心理压力源下，由于这些条件，他们很容易患上MSD (Simon et al.， 2008)。护理人员在处理老年病人时，会出现笨拙的姿势，导致护士出现MSD。因此，安全的病人处理干预对于降低护士中MSD的患病率是重要的。材料与方法:采用聚类前测和后测结合对照组的准实验研究，研究对象为马来西亚西海岸8家政府养老院。共有256名护士及助理护士参与本研究。四名家庭护理人员将在干预组。另外4名家庭护理人员将作为对照组。实施安全病人处理干预方案。在健康教育中，健康信念模型理论将用于增加知识，随后将实践转变为安全的病人处理。结果:在实施干预方案之前，将编制模块干预和健康教育教材。健康教育和培训将根据所提供的模块进行。结果测量是肌肉骨骼疾病，知识和安全的病人处理实践。这些结果将通过自我管理的问卷来衡量。数据将使用SPSS版本22进行分析。为了测量相关性，将使用卡方检验、Mann Whitney U检验、独立t检验、依赖t检验和Wilcoxon符号秩检验，对于多变量分析，将使用广义估计方程(GEE)。结论:安全处理病人的健康教育对降低养老院护士的MSD具有重要意义。

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) was a condition of insufficient insulin because the pancreas was damaged or insulin could not be used effectively. DM was related to diet. Food for DM patients was important to monitor so the blood sugar would be controlled. Preliminary studies showed that 60% of patients had low levels of dietary compliance. This study aimed to look at the relationship of family support with hospital diet compliance in type 2 DM patients and see the relation between the knowledge levels with hospital diet compliance in type 2 DM patients in Surabaya Haji Hospital.

Background: Generally people with disabilities have high healthcare need that is likely as a result of primary condition causing the disability, comorbidity or their vulnerability to diseases. Despite these health challenges and need for healthcare those living in poor countries have poor healthcare seeking behaviour and experience unmet healthcare needs. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional population based survey was used to collect data from 285 respondent recruited using multi-stage sampling methods Result: Result from multiple regression analysis shows several variables independently to be significantly with healthcare seeking behaviour such as gender, age, location, SES, health status, and perceived cost of healthcare. Report of unmet needs for healthcare is associated with gender, age, location, SES, income, health status, distance, and perceived service quality. Conclusion: If the healthcare needs of people with disability have to be met, innovative strategies will need to be devised to reach out to people with disabilities, especially women, elderly and the poor with disabilities.
