Pharmacotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for the control of diabetes and the prevention of its complications. Optimal glycaemic control can reduce the healthcare burden. Nonetheless, the efficacy of diabetes management is often limited by poor medication adherence among patients. The level of medication adherence among diabetic patients in Malaysia has been reported to be 36%-87% for oral medication and 54%-81% for insulin injection. In order to increase the proportion of diabetic patients with good glycaemic control and low disease complications, other intervention strategies that are complementary to drug treatment should be considered. These strategies include all the non-pharmacological interventions and patient-mediated strategies that can be implemented either as standalone or adjunct therapy to promote better diabetic control among patients who are already prescribed with conventional pharmacotherapy. This study aimed to provide a synthesis of the themes for all the non-pharmacological intervention strategies applied in the management of diabetic patients in Malaysia. An electronic literature search for English articles in four databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and OVID) was conducted using relevant search strings. Twenty-two articles were included in the final analysis. Six themes were identified, namely diabetes education programmes, patient empowerment programmes, adherence support programmes, lifestyle adjustment programmes, psychological intervention programmes, and shared decision- making. Further research is warranted to empirically validate these results and to obtain a better understanding of the themes that are most meaningful for patients as well as their practical application in real-life settings.
药物治疗是控制糖尿病和预防糖尿病并发症最有效的治疗方法之一。最佳的血糖控制可以减轻医疗负担。然而,糖尿病治疗的效果往往受到患者服药依从性差的限制。据报道,马来西亚糖尿病患者的服药依从性水平口服药物为36%-87%,胰岛素注射为54%-81%。为了增加血糖控制良好、疾病并发症低的糖尿病患者比例,应考虑其他与药物治疗相辅相成的干预策略。这些策略包括所有非药物干预措施和患者介导的策略,可以作为独立或辅助治疗实施,以促进已经使用常规药物治疗的患者更好地控制糖尿病。本研究旨在为马来西亚糖尿病患者管理中应用的所有非药物干预策略提供综合主题。利用相关检索字符串对PubMed、SCOPUS、Web of Science和OVID四个数据库中的英文文章进行电子文献检索。在最后的分析中纳入了22篇文章。确定了六个主题,即糖尿病教育计划、患者授权计划、坚持支持计划、生活方式调整计划、心理干预计划和共同决策。进一步的研究需要经验验证这些结果,并更好地理解对患者最有意义的主题以及它们在现实生活中的实际应用。

Gender differences have been known to exist both in physiologic and pathological states including kidney disease. There is a need to be well acquitted with these differences to enhance preventive and curative strategies for kidney diseases. One hundred and forty-four participants with chronic kidney disease, stage 3 to non-dialytic 5 had urine, blood, and radiological investigations to assess albuminuria, kidney function, and sizes. The findings were compared on a gender basis. Eighty-two males and 62 females participated. The mean age of the males and females were 47.9 ± 16.8 years and 50.5 ± 14.73 years respectively. A greater proportion of participants 65 years and older were females. Chronic interstitial nephritis was more common in females while chronic glomerulonephritis was more common in males. Hyponatremia, metabolic acidosis, and hyperphosphatemia were more common in females. Men used vitamin D analogs and erythropoietin more than women while women used sodium bicarbonate and phosphate binders more than men. Aging (OR-3.28, CI-2.69-387), hyponatremia (OR-4.74, CI-2.10-6.33), hypoalbuminemia ((OR-4.56, CI-3.45-7.49)), and metabolic acidosis (OR-4.14, CI-1.46-4.92) were independently associated with the female gender. Gender differences exist in the risk profile, epidemiology, laboratory findings, and response to treatment of CKD sufferers. Women had more hyponatremia and hyperphosphatemia while men had higher albumin and kidney sizes. Gender partitioned median range cut-offs of some variables would be needed for effective prevention, treatment, and follow-up of CKD sufferers.

Herbal remedies are often used in traditional postpartum care among Malay women in Malaysia, closely guided by traditional women practitioners. Due to the diversity of plant species in Malaysia, the use of herbal remedies is often localized and may differ from one place to another. Unfortunately, with the lack of proper documentation, there is a risk of losing information on the practice and common plants used by women traditional practitioners in post-partum management. This work aimed to identify the common plants used in post-partum care among female Malay traditional practitioners in Perak, Malaysia. A researcher-assisted questionnaire of traditional practitioners’ knowledge of plants for post-partum remedies was employed. A total of 36 female traditional practitioners were included. There were 139 different plant species used for post-partum management. Leaves were the most common plant part used (n=86, 62.3%). Overall, the most common plants used by the traditional practitioners were fragrant lemongrass ( Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle (Poaceae) (n=18, 50%), noni ( Morinda citrifolia , L. (Rubiaceae) (n=15, 41.7%) and screwpine ( Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb. (Pandanaceae) (n=14, 38.9%). External preparations in the form of baths were reported as the most common use (n=78, 44.1%), whilst powders were the most common oral forms (n=57, 32.2%). Clearly, Various plants are used in different preparations of herbal remedies for post-partum care. As such, official documentation of various medicinal plants that are used by traditional practitioners for post-partum care among Malay women is urgently required so as to preserve the traditional knowledge and practice.
在马来西亚的传统产后护理中,马来妇女经常使用草药,由传统妇女从业人员密切指导。由于马来西亚植物物种的多样性,草药疗法的使用通常是局部的,并且可能因地而异。不幸的是,由于缺乏适当的文件,妇女传统医生在产后管理中使用的做法和常用植物的信息可能会丢失。这项工作的目的是确定在产后护理中使用的常见植物女性马来人传统从业者在霹雳州,马来西亚。采用研究者辅助问卷调查传统从业者对产后治疗植物知识的了解程度。共纳入36名女性传统从业者。有139种不同的植物用于产后管理。树叶是最常用的植物部位(n=86, 62.3%)。总体而言,传统从业者最常用的植物是香茅(Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle (Poaceae)) (n= 18.50%)、诺丽(Morinda citrifolia, L. (Rubiaceae)) (n= 15.41.7%)和螺旋松(Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb)。(n=14, 38.9%)。据报道,浴液形式的外部制剂是最常用的(n=78, 44.1%),而粉末是最常见的口服形式(n=57, 32.2%)。显然,各种植物被用于产后护理的草药制剂中。因此,迫切需要关于马来妇女产后护理的传统医生使用的各种药用植物的官方文件,以便保存传统知识和做法。

Detection of E . coli in water and food constitutes a major challenge. However, the outer membrane proteins of this Gram-negative bacterium represent an excellent choice for their detection and diagnosis. Two outer membrane proteins: A and C, play important roles as drug modulators and in cellular permeability for this bacterium. Here we employed the antibodies raised against these two outer membrane proteins for the development of dot-blot immunoassays to detect this bacterium in water and meat samples. This immune-based assay was not only sensitive and reliable but rapid and cheap to perform. Sensitivities and specificities were demonstrated at the lowest detection limits of just two to three cells per milliliter, while the upper limit reached 107 cells per milliliter. In conclusion, the simplicity and extremely high resolution of this colored-based immunoassay test would be of great importance for untrained food and/or water inspectors or laboratory personnel to use with immediate visual results.

In completely edentulous patients the treatment challenges are associated with aesthetics, comfort, and function. As the oral hard and soft tissues are lost it may create a severe impact on the lower one third of the facial contour. So the rehabilitation of the lost structure must be done to improve the complete facial aesthetics. The two components that are important in denture aesthetics are denture teeth and the supporting denture base. various solutions are available to restore comfort and function, but restoring the edentulous patient’s aesthetic appearance is a mere challenge. Facial aesthetics and social integration of completely edentulous patient is significantly improved by using characterized denture when compared with a conventional denture. Once the patient’s expectations are fulfilled it will impart a positive effect on the patient’s self-esteem. So every complete denture patient must be evaluated individually and the dentist must strive to prepare a complete denture unique to that patient. The purpose of this case report is to provide unique denture characterization to fulfil patient aesthetic demands.

The children's health is one of the significant issues of the families, schools and governments all over the world. Considering the importance of their health, the aim of this research is to designate the emergence of speed and power abilities in children aged 13–14 years on their coordination abilities. By using a tapping test, the strength of the nervous system is diagnosed, and Speed-strength abilities were determined by arm strength, torso strength, leg strength. Furthermore, coordination abilities were determined by using a test called the "shuttle run 3x10" test. The results of the tests and research indicate that the control group improved by 2-6% and there were more significant changes in the experimental group. Indicators enhanced by 11-17%. The study concluded that if you perform exercises to develop the speed and strength qualities of children aged 13-14 during physical education lessons at school, these indicators will improve coordination abilities.
