Background: Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is an eating disorder characterized by an obsession with eating healthy foods, which has physical, psychological, and social impacts. The use of social media platform such as Instagram is suspected to be one of the risk factors of ON, as health information on Instagram can reach thousands of people despite the fact that its source is frequently unreliable. Objective: To determine the correlation between the intensity of Instagram usage and ON among Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) students, as well as the correlation between confounding variables (gender, monthly income, age, faculty cluster, and nutritional knowledge) and ON. Methods: The research design used is an observational study with cross-sectional design that involved 529 students. Samples were taken by stratified random sampling, and data was collected online. Chi square test with ꭤ = 0.05 was used in this study. Results: The results showed that as many as 55% of students were diagnosed with ON and most of the students had moderate intensity of using Instagram. There is a correlation between the intensity of using social media Instagram and ON in UGM students (p value = 0.037<0.05) and there is no correlation of confounding variables (gender, monthly income, age, faculty cluster, and nutritional knowledge) with ON. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the intensity of Instagram use and ON in UGM students, and no confounding variables were found in this study.

Minuman sukan mengandungi air, karbohidrat, dan elektrolit yang dirumus khas untuk atlet atau individu yang memerlukan. Walau bagaimanapun, majoriti jurulatih dari bahagian Akademi Kejurulatihan Kebangsaan menyatakan kekangan bajet untuk mendapatkan minuman sukan komersial pada skala besar bagi memenuhi keperluan atlet mereka. Oleh itu, satu kajian eksperimental dijalankan untuk menghasilkan minuman sukan isotonik kos rendah (Rose Lemonade) jenis gula putih dan jenis gula perang, dan menilai penerimaannya dalam kalangan pelajar universiti melalui penilaian sensori. Kajian ini melibatkan 50 orang panel iaitu 25 orang pelajar UKM (bukan atlet) dan 25 pelajar UM (atlet). Analisis Kruskal Wallis menunjukkan tiada perbezaan yang signifikan (p>0.05) bagi nilai purata untuk kelima-lima atribut antara dua jenis minuman sukan isotonik berperisa Rose Lemonade dalam kalangan pelajar universiti. Penerimaan keseluruhan Rose Lemonade gula perang mempunyai skor purata sebanyak 3.52 ± 0.97 berbanding jenis gula putih iaitu 3.50 ± 1.07. Kesimpulannya, kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa kedua-dua formulasi minuman sukan isotonik berperisa Rose Lemonade jenis gula putih dan gula perang boleh diterima oleh panel penilai ujirasa. Penemuan kajian ini memberikan maklumat resipi minuman sukan yang murah dan mudah. Cadangan untuk kajian akan datang adalah melakukan ujian keberkesanan dari segi pembekalan tenaga dan penggantian elektrolit dan jangka hayat minuman sukan ini serta menghasilkan pelbagai perisa bagi memenuhi pengambilan minuman sukan terhadap individu.

The phenomenon of depression has been a major concern recently, both nationally and globally. Depression is a disorder that involves changes in thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviours that make a person's daily life difficult, and if left untreated, can adversely affect individuals and society. Depression among adolescents certainly deserves attention as this group is considered as an asset that will drive the country in the future. Over the past few decades, Cognitive Behaviour Theory (CBT) has been proven to be the most dominant theory in psychological studies including depression in adolescents. CBT emphasises the interaction between the dimensions of affective, behavioural, and cognitive by incorporating cognitive and behavioural concepts and techniques in its treatment. It is found that, under the CBT group, Learned Helplessness Theory and Beck's Cognitive Behaviour Theory were the two most widely discussed on the concept of depression to date. Therefore, this article will discuss the background and the concept of these theories in describing depression. However, Beck’s CBT has been chosen as the most appropriate theory in discussing depression among adolescents based on the justifications addressed in this article.

One of the most frequent complaints of hearing-impaired individuals is difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments. In order to improve listening comforts in background noise, digital noise reduction (DNR) has been incorporated into the hearing aid. However, each hearing aid manufacturer has their own proprietary algorithm for their DNR. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the DNR system in commercial hearing aids using the Malay speech-in-noise test. Electroacoustic testing has been performed on six hearing aids that have similar technology but different brands using newly developed Malay speech-in-noise test signals in the condition of DNR on and off. The total root-mean-square (RMS) gain reduction for each HA was calculated. The results show that the type of noise, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the gender of the speaker have a significant effect on the amount of gain reduction shown by the DNR of the tested hearing aids (p<0.05). In conclusion, clinicians need to measure and understand methods to verify the functionality of DNR before fitting a patient's hearing aid to ensure its effectiveness in real life.

Fingerprints are unique structures made up of a combination of friction ridges and are varied for everyone. Due to the individual characteristics of fingerprints, it is used for identification. Traditionally, patent fingerprints are obtained using an ink pad. With the emergence of COVID-19, bank has started to provide hand sanitisers for users of ATM. Some ATM users will use an ATM, pull the ATM receipt, and proceed to clean their hands using the complimentary hand sanitisers. Unintentionally, these steps will produce a receipt with the user’s fingerprints. Hence forth, this research aims to study the possibility of obtaining fingerprints from various thermal receipt papers after a finger had contacted with hand sanitisers. Six donors were requested to deposit their fingerprints on different types of thermal paper using different brands of hand sanitisers. Quality scores were given to show the fingerprint quality difference generated using various combinations of thermal paper and hand sanitisers. The result showed that patent fingerprints developed using hand sanitiser and thermal paper were of lower quality than the standard (ink pad). Combination of alcohol-based hand sanitiser, which consists of 70% alcohol concentration and ATM receipt paper was found to be able to produce the best quality fingerprint among the studied combinations.

Garlic is one of the herbs that being used as a flavor in food. But it is also known as traditional medicine among the Malay community. However, the scientific observation about the benefit of garlic, especially from the Islamic perspective has not been fully documented. Thus, in this research, we aim to unravel the remedies of garlic and its uniqueness from the Islamic perspective and explain how the efficacy and uses of garlic in treating diseases practiced by the Malay community. The findings show that the use of garlic as traditional medicine has been used since time immemorial and has been proven to bring many good effects in curing diseases such as help to lower body pressure, reduce the risk of cancer, eliminate bad breath and many more. The findings also show different beliefs, races, and cultures are among the factors in different ways of using garlic as a medicine. However, this study will focus more on Malay practitioners. In this research, descriptive analysis is used and involving many types of text such as Al-Qur'an, Hadith Nabawi, and selected Malay manuscript on Malay traditional medicine to study the remedies of garlic and its practice among Malay practitioners. This study is important in order to increase the understanding and knowledge about the benefit of garlic in medicine as a cure rather than just use it as a flavor in food.

COVID-19 infection in pregnant mothers is associated with higher risk of intrauterine growth retardation and premature births. Very low birth weight infants are more susceptible to neurodevelopmental and chronic respiratory problems. An infant delivered at 33 weeks via caesarean section to a COVID-19 Stage 5A positive mother, weighing 1.43kg at birth. She was kept nil by mouth with parenteral nutrition (PN) support since day five of life until referred to dietitian on day 22 of life for enteral nutrition (EN) establishment. Feeding was administered intermittently via oro-gastric Ryle’s Tube. She was kept under non-invasive ventilation (NIV) mode and had difficulty in weaning from ventilation, leading to slow feeding progress. Initially, enteral trophic feeding was administered using premature infant formula fortified with modular products. In the later stage of feeding, modular products were tapered off and the formula was concentrated. Frequency of bowel output when using fortified formula is lesser compared to when using concentrated and supplemented formula. There is no significant difference in renal profile observed in both stages of feeding. Increasing energy intake using easily digestible sources is preferable as opposed to concentrating feeds even further due to concerns about osmolality and excess administration of other solutes. Intermittent bolus feeding mode may have an effect on dependency on oxygen since intermittent feeds can decrease tidal volume, minute ventilation and dynamic compliance. Additional research is necessary to establish optimal caloric density and nutritional compositions of feedings, feeding mechanisms and its’ effect on feeding tolerance.

Self-management education program (SMEP) is essential in the knee osteoarthritis (OA) management. While the benefits of tailored SMEP have been highlighted in the literature, evidence on the effects of tailored knee OA SMEP for multi-ethnic populations, such as in Malaysia, remains limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct an intervention study on a tailored SMEP among Malaysian older adults with knee OA. Participants aged 60 years and over with a diagnosis of knee OA were recruited. The intervention comprised four weekly structured group SMEP which was developed specifically for the multicultural population in Malaysia. Symptom’s severity and functional performance were assessed at baseline and six-week follow-up using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score questionnaire (KOOS), 30 seconds sit to stand (30sST), time up and go (TUG), chair sit and reach (CSR), back stretch (BS), handgrip strength (HGS) and two-minute walk (2MW) tests. Of the 32 individuals recruited, 30 participants, mean age of 66.77 (±6.42) years, completed the post-intervention assessment. Improvements in mean KOOS domains scores were observed by between 1.3% - 8.6% from baseline to follow-up. Significant differences between baseline and follow-up scores were identified for 30sST (p < 0.05), TUG ( p < 0.001) and 2MW (p < 0.001) tests. A 4-week tailored SMEP delivered face to face by a physiotherapist, improved lower limb muscle strength, mobility, balance and endurance. Larger randomized controlled trials regarding the long-term effects of SMEP for older adults with OA is warranted.
自我管理教育计划(SMEP)对膝关节骨性关节炎(OA)的治疗至关重要。虽然文献中强调了量身定制的自我管理教育计划的益处,但有关量身定制的膝关节 OA 自我管理教育计划对多种族人群(如马来西亚)的影响的证据仍然有限。因此,本研究旨在对患有膝关节 OA 的马来西亚老年人进行量身定制的 SMEP 干预研究。研究招募了年龄在 60 岁及以上、确诊患有膝关节 OA 的参与者。干预措施包括每周四次的结构化小组SMEP,这是专门为马来西亚的多元文化人群开发的。通过膝关节损伤和骨关节炎结果评分问卷(KOOS)、30 秒坐立(30sST)、起立时间(TUG)、椅子坐立伸展(CSR)、背部伸展(BS)、手握力(HGS)和两分钟步行(2MW)测试,对基线和六周随访的症状严重程度和功能表现进行评估。在招募的 32 人中,有 30 人完成了干预后评估,他们的平均年龄为 66.77 (±6.42) 岁。从基线到随访,KOOS 各领域的平均得分提高了 1.3% - 8.6%。30sST(P<0.05)、TUG(P<0.001)和2MW(P<0.001)测试的基线得分与随访得分之间存在显著差异。由物理治疗师面对面提供的为期 4 周的定制 SMEP 可改善下肢肌肉力量、活动能力、平衡能力和耐力。关于SMEP对患有OA的老年人的长期影响,还需要进行更大规模的随机对照试验。

Larger randomized controlled trials regarding the long-term effects of SMEP for older adults with OA is warranted.","PeriodicalId":17686,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Sains Kesihatan Malaysia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140517693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jujube or known as ‘Bidara’ in Malay customs is a beneficial plant to the human. Nowadays, it is being domestically produced into varieties of products to fulfill human needs. However, as time passed, Jujube is only seen as a source for business products while ignoring its real benefits. Thus, this paper aimed to illustrate its benefits as stated in the transliterated books of Malay medical manuscripts, with strong support from scientific and Islamic perspectives. As a common ingredient for remedies, jujube has been documented in the old manuscripts such as Kitab Tib MSS 2151, Kitab Tib Muzium Terengganu, The Medical Book of Malayan Medicine, and Kitab Al-Rahmah Fi al-Tibb Wa Al-Hikmah. Past journals and articles were analyzed to describe the benefits of jujube from scientific and Islamic points of view which are derived from the Quran and Hadith. In the selected Malay medical manuscripts, jujube was prescribed as remedy for dysentery, loss of appetite, sore throat, smallpox, and scorpion sting. Scientific findings have broadened the discoveries of its medicinal advantages with the presence of properties as anti-diarrheal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anticancer, and antiallergic. Islamic views which are derived from Quran, Hadith, and scholars’ books mainly circulate its benefits as a cleansing agent, black magic defense mechanism, and as medicines for certain illnesses. To conclude, this paper will give a review on the benefits of jujube from the ancient Malay medical manuscript, which is parallel with the Islamic perspective and supported with scientific findings.
红枣(马来语称为 "Bidara")是一种对人类有益的植物。如今,它在国内被生产成各种产品,以满足人类的需求。然而,随着时间的推移,人们只把红枣视为商业产品的来源,而忽视了它的真正益处。因此,本文旨在从科学和伊斯兰教的角度,说明马来医学手稿译本中所述的红枣功效。作为一种常用的药方成分,红枣在一些古老的手稿中都有记载,如 Kitab Tib MSS 2151、Kitab Tib Muzium Terengganu、The Medical Book of Malayan Medicine 和 Kitab Al-Rahmah Fi al-Tibb Wa Al-Hikmah。我们对过去的期刊和文章进行了分析,从科学和伊斯兰教的角度来描述红枣的益处,而科学和伊斯兰教的观点则来自《古兰经》和《圣训》。在所选的马来医学手稿中,大枣是治疗痢疾、食欲不振、喉咙痛、天花和蝎子螫伤的处方药。科学研究发现,大枣具有止泻、抗菌、消炎、抗糖尿病、抗氧化、抗癌和抗过敏等药用功效。来自《古兰经》、《圣训》和学者著作的伊斯兰教观点主要流传着它作为清洁剂、黑魔法防御机制和治疗某些疾病的药物的好处。最后,本文将对古代马来医学手稿中有关大枣功效的内容进行综述,这些内容与伊斯兰教的观点并行不悖,并得到了科学研究结果的支持。

eToyBox merupakan platform pembelajaran dalam talian untuk guru prasekolah bagi meningkatkan literasi kesihatan dan seterusnya memperbaiki tingkah laku kanak-kanak yang berkaitan obesiti. Penilaian terhadap literasi digital, penerimaan bahan pendidikan digital, dan cabaran penggunaan program pendidikan berasaskan internet diperlukan sebelum pembangunan eToyBox. Seramai 54 orang guru prasekolah Jabatan Kemajuan Masyarakat (KEMAS) di Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, dan Sarawak yang terlibat dalam fasa intervensi ToyBox Study Malaysia pada tahun 2018 telah menyertai kajian keratan rentas ini. Soal selidik dalam talian diedarkan untuk menilai maklumat sosiodemografi, penggunaan alat komunikasi dan media, dan pandangan guru tentang penyesuaian modul ToyBox kepada bahan pendidikan digital. Subjek telah dihubungi, dan pautan soal selidik dikongsi melalui aplikasi WhatsApp. Kebanyakan subjek (74.0%) adalah perempuan Melayu dengan umur purata 37.7 ± 7.9 tahun. Kebanyakan subjek mempunyai akses internet (94.4%) dan memiliki sekurang-kurangnya telefon pintar, komputer riba atau tablet (94.4%). Majoriti subjek (75.0%) melaporkan kecekapan penggunaan teknologi pada tahap sederhana. Jumlah 65.0% subjek menilai kemahiran mereka dalam pemproses perkataan dan emel pada tahap mahir atau lebih tinggi; namun, hanya 22.0% dilaporkan untuk kemahiran hamparan elektronik lejar. Halangan utama untuk mengakses bahan pendidikan dalam talian ialah gangguan internet (74.1%). Kebanyakan subjek (90.0%) menyokong penyesuaian modul kepada pembelajaran dalam talian dan yakin bahawa ini akan memberi manfaat terhadap pembangunan profesional dan amalan pengajaran guru prasekolah. Kesimpulannya, majoriti subjek mempunyai tahap literasi digital yang sederhana dan bersedia menjalani pembelajaran serta pengajaran dalam talian. Hasil kajian ini boleh memberi panduan kepada pembangunan bahan pembelajaran dalam talian untuk guru prasekolah di Malaysia pada masa hadapan.
