The apparent existence of stress during pregnancy can become overwhelming issues that could be detrimental to maternal and fetal well-being. This study aims to determine the prevalence of stress among antenatal mothers and its associated factors to assess the extent to of this stress trend phenomenon exists.

Thalassaemia is the most common inherited blood disorder in Malaysia, and the majority of patients are from Sabah. The disease itself poses significant morbidities, and its management is costly. Previous studies showed increased caries prevalence among these patients attributed to possible changes in saliva properties. The objective was to investigate the prevalence of saliva properties and caries among patients with thalassaemia compared to healthy individuals.

Dental implant survival requires the presence of peri-implant bone for complete and stable osseointegration. Grafted sinus lift procedures are predictable methods to augment deficient ridges, but may give rise to complications, comorbidities, and additional costs. Recent evidence showed positive outcomes of the graft-less sinus lift technique. However, studies comparing the outcome of the grafted and graft-less sinus lift procedures are still lacking. This study aims to compare the implant stability, bone density, and pocket depth outcomes between grafted and graft less sinus lift procedures for implant placement.

Spindle cell lipoma is a distinct entity of lipomatous tumour, that typically arises in the subcutaneous tissue of the posterior neck and shoulder. Lipomas found in the oral and maxillofacial region rarely reach a size larger than 2 cm. Challenging surgical decision-making as in the present case appears in the aesthetic cheek zones which are highly visible and important parts of a person’s countenance. The role of natural line in the complete resection of these neoplasms with minimal risk of recurrence and its clinicopathologic characteristics is highlighted.

Trichotillomania is a condition when an individual is unable to resist the urge to pull out the hair on their head or in other places. Trichophagia is the repetitive swallowing of hair most usually connected with compulsive hair pulling. Trichotillomania with trichophagia is a rare psychiatric disease. Trichobezoar, on the other hand, has been documented in several surgical studies. It is unusual to see these symptoms appear at the same time. It can affect anyone at any age, but it is more common in adolescents, with a strong female predominance. This is a case report of an unusual case in an 11-year-old girl with all three disorders occurring at the same time and presenting with intestinal obstruction. This case report aims to identify signs and symptoms of trichobezoar, mainly in adolescents, to discover similar incidents that may link to psychiatric disorders like trichotillomania and trichophagia in medical practices.

Ewing’s sarcoma is a highly malignant tumour of osseous or non-osseous origin, typically seen in the paediatric and adolescent age group. However, extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma is an uncommon tumour. It could arise from the soft tissue in the paravertebral area, chest wall, head and neck, and retroperitoneum. Retroperitoneal extraosseous Ewing’s sarcoma is even rarer, with only a few reported cases in the literature. We describe the radiologic findings of this rare retroperitoneal extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma manifested in an adult patient. Our patient is a 32-year-old gentleman who presented with abdominal pain and constitutional symptoms for two months. Imaging shows a retroperitoneal tumour with local infiltration. It was confirmed via histopathological analysis as retroperitoneal Ewing’s sarcoma. We discussed the diagnostic strategy as well as the literature review of this rare disease.

In 2021, tuberculosis (TB) incidence partially rebounded but remained 12% lower compared with 2019, in which 10 million new TB cases have been reported worldwide. In Malaysia, 20 – 30% of the total TB cases were reported in Sabah. In this communication, we are reporting the whole genome sequence of Mycobacterium iranicum strain SBH312, isolated from a 49-year-old male suffering from a pulmonary infection. This is the first report of M. iranicum, non-tuberculous mycobacteria infecting humans, from Sabah, state of Malaysia. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the M. iranicum strain SBH312 was closely related to strains from Iran and Peninsular Malaysia.

Binasal hemianopia is rare. It is more commonly associated with ocular diseases than intracranial pathologies. Nevertheless, the proximity of internal carotid arteries (ICA) to the visual pathway may cause a variety of neurologic effects which may lead to visual loss. Although visual loss is uncommon, ICA aneurysm may compress the optic nerve causing visual field defect and reduced visual acuity. We report a 66-year-old male presented with asymptomatic binasal hemianopia detected during routine glaucoma screening. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and orbit showed dolichoectasia in the cavernous segment of both ICA, which compressed the pre-chiasmatic optic nerve bilaterally. Humphrey’s visual field test confirmed the diagnostic of binasal hemianopia respecting the vertical midline. This was the first reported case of binasal hemianopia without visual disturbances. This case highlights the importance of using CT and MRI as additional diagnostic tools to identify the true cause of binasal hemianopia (ICA dolichoectasia) in patients with glaucoma. A thorough assessment of any visual field defect helps to detect life-threatening intracranial pathologies effectively and is managed accordingly.

Anthropometry, the quantitative interface between anatomy and physiology, is a scientific specialization concerned with applying measurement to appraise human size, shape, proportion, composition, development, and gross function. Anthropometric measurement is essential in many areas, including archaeology, anthropology, ergonomics, forensic sciences, anatomy, and nutrition. Although different researchers have studied the anthropometry of hand extensively in Malaysia, there is still a paucity of data among the major ethnicities (Kadazandusun, Bajau, Malay and Chinese) that exist in Sabah. The study was designed to create baseline data for normative values of hand length, handbreadth, middle finger length, second inter-crease length of the middle finger, and the hand span of major ethnic groups in Sabah. This cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2021 to January 2022 by applying a stratified random sampling method. At first, the students were stratified into ethnicities and were further stratified as males and females. The hand dimensions were measured using a digital calliper. The baseline data for Sabah’s four major ethnic groups were compared for symmetry, gender, and ethnic differences. The right handbreadth was broader than the left hand (p<0.01). The result also demonstrated a statistically significant (0.001) difference between gender; however, there was no significant difference among the four ethnicities. Further study at the community level is recommended for different age groups and ethnicities by addressing hand activity, hormones, and brain asymmetry tocomplement the findings of this study.
