This phase exposes adolescents to risky situations. Understanding adolescent risk-taking is crucial. This study aims to determine the extent of risk-taking behaviour among Malaysian adolescents and identify associated factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a community-based study, we surveyed 1,344 Malaysian adolescents aged 10-19 across 22 districts in Sarawak using multi-stage cluster sampling and face-to-face interviews. Data analysis was performed with IBM SPSS v28.0. RESULTS: Analysis found that 43.7% of adolescents engaged in risky behaviours, with a higher incidence in males (50.1%) compared to females (37.4%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis identified for low-medium risk behaviours were being aged 15-19 (AOR=1.52; CI:1.14-2.02), infrequent religious practice (AOR=1.70; CI:1.01-2.84), poor parent-child relations (AOR=2.02; CI:1.07-3.83) and having a history of mental abuse (AOR=3.02; CI:1.37-6.62). However, a larger family size appeared to be a protective factor (AOR=0.39; CI: 0.18-0.89). High-risk behaviours were more prevalent in older (AOR=2.65; CI:1.91, 3.68) male adolescents (AOR=2.75; CI: 2.02, 3.75) and low religious value (AOR=3.55; CI: 1.32-9.52), larger families (AOR=2.03; CI: 1.38-3.00), lower school grades (AOR=1.74; CI: 1.27-2.38), physical ailments (AOR=2.63; CI:1.60-4.32), and a history of mental abuse (AOR=3.85; CI:1.78-8.31). CONCLUSION: Adolescents aged 15-19 with weak family ties, low religious engagement, and a history of mental abuse tend to exhibit low to medium risk behaviours. Older male adolescents with health issues are more likely to engage in high-risk behaviours, whereas those from larger families show fewer such tendencies. These insights are crucial for shaping targeted interventions and policies.","PeriodicalId":13474,"journal":{"name":"IIUM Medical Journal 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":"139129373","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}

This review emphasizes the compositions of MPS to evaluate their effectiveness and risks to lens wearers. A search for original articles published was conducted through Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, focusing on the keywords contact lens ingredients and preservatives, MPS, polyquaternium, biguanides, and MK. A thorough review was conducted to extract the data on the subjects from the generated searches.The review revealed that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), povidone-iodine (P-I), and polyquaternium-1 (PQ-1) are the preferred MPS formulations in the current industry of CLs. These chemical ingredients are effective against causative agents of keratitis for faster disinfection and lower risks of microbial infections in CL users. Thus, proper hygienic practices must follow the guidance from the respective product manufacturers to prevent harmful risks of ocular diseases.","PeriodicalId":13474,"journal":{"name":"IIUM Medical Journal 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":"139126118","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}

This review article explores the current landscape of complicated appendicitis management, investigating the roles of conservative treatment, interval appendectomy, and early appendectomy. With no definitive consensus in place, the choice of treatment largely depends on the individual surgeon. The emergence of laparoscopic appendectomy has played a pivotal role in this paradigm shift, further highlighting the need to reevaluate and understand the various management options available.

We systematically reviewed the publications from 2000 to 2019 using PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases, recovering 15 original articles published until January 2022. This systematic review was conducted from May to September 2022. Two reviewers were involved in the process of the selection of articles and data extraction. Only research papers on malnutrition among older people in institutionalized settings in Malaysia were included. Four articles related to malnutrition in older people in old folk homes in Malaysia were included in this review. The tools with the most significant evidence were Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Nutritional Health Checklist (NHC) in residential care for the elderly. It was found that the incidence of malnutrition among the elderly in old folk homes in Malaysia ranged from 12.3% to 17.4%. Meanwhile, 40.4% to 57.7% of the population are documented to be at risk of malnutrition. NA and DETERMINE NHC were found to be most suitable for use in residential care due to their high sensitivity and specificity. A subsequent study is proposed to build and implement a scoring system to rate screening tools based on the validity, suitability, and practicability of the tools to help with malnutrition screening research and clinical practice in Malaysia and internationally.","PeriodicalId":13474,"journal":{"name":"IIUM Medical Journal 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":"139129065","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}

This study aimed to measure the level of patient satisfaction and its associated factors towards the healthcare service of outpatient clinics in Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre (SASMEC), IIUM, Kuantan, Pahang. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1050 patients were recruited from internal medicine, paediatrics, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedics, and psychiatry clinics between February 2021 and February 2022. A questionnaire was administered which consists of two parts: one that covers patients’ sociodemographic data and the other that assesses the patients’ level of satisfaction with the healthcare services using the Malay-validated Short-Form Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18). RESULTS: The mean overall satisfaction level was 3.94 ± 0.46, with the highest mean scores in the interpersonal manners (4.2 ± 0.64) and communications (4.26 ± 0.56) domains. From the multivariate analysis, it was found that those patients in the lower income group (B40) were more satisfied with the quality of the healthcare services (B=0.172, 95% CI=0.08, 0.263) compared to the middle-income group. Being a student (B=- 0.202, 95% CI=- 0.296, -0.108) and having a follow-up treatment visit (B=-0.082, 95% CI=-0.156, -0.008), were significantly associated with lower satisfaction levels as compared to their counterparts.

One of the etiologies of CVDs is endothelial dysfunction, which results from an imbalance in the production of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO). Although blood pressure (BP) is normalized postpartum, we hypothesize that a transient increase in BP during HDPs may cause ongoing endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to discover the impact of HDPs in the development of cardiovascular diseases after long-term postpartum changes in endothelin-A receptor (ETAR) and endothelin-B receptor (ETBR) expression and the concentration of ET-1 and NO. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Twenty-four female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were assigned into four groups (n = 6), including two treatment and two control groups. All rats were sacrificed on Day 30 postpartum. The NO and ET-1 concentrations were determined by ELISA and the ETAR and ETBR expression of the mesenteric arteries were measured by immunohistochemistry studies. RESULTS: The mean concentrations of ET-1 and NO were not significantly different in all groups. There was no significant difference in the mean immunoreactivity of ETAR and ETBR percentages area in the tunica intima and media in all groups. CONCLUSION: No evidence demonstrates significant changes in the endothelin system of the resistance arteries at the proteomic level in the long-term duration following HDP. Further investigation of its potential chronic effect warrants a deeper analysis at the molecular and ultrastructural levels.","PeriodicalId":13474,"journal":{"name":"IIUM Medical Journal 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":"139125660","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}

Neural blockade via epidural or spinal anesthesia, intravenous administration of high-dose of strong opioid analgesics, and infusion of anabolic hormones such as insulin are three main methods for balancing stress responses to surgery. However, there are conflicting reports about the extent of autonomic disturbances occurring after inducing spinal anesthesia in diabetic patients due to underlying autonomic neuropathy. METHODOLOGY: An observational cohort study was conducted in an operative room of a tertiary health care center involving 25 diabetic patients and 25 non-diabetic patients to evaluate the tolerance to stress. The diabetic patients undergone an exercise tolerance test to evaluate for postural hypotension which would indicate presence of autonomic neuropathy. Stress parameters such as heart rate, mean blood pressure, blood glucose level, and temperature were measured at regular intervals pre, peri- and post-operatively. RESULTS: Intraoperative heart rate, mean blood pressure, and blood glucose level were high in diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy (p≤0.05). Temperature was higher in diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy initially (p≤0.05) and had a higher fall peri-and post-operatively (T=15 minutes, T=20 minutes, and T=after surgery).

The brain structure naturally protects the extracellular matrix (ECM), which consists of microglia, astrocytes, and neurons, by separating them from harm with the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Yet, the inflammation process damages the brain cells, thus releasing inflammatory markers into the plasma. Chronic inflammation results from persistent inflammation, and any failure of control mechanisms within the brain tissues will promote the development of cancer cells. Previous studies showed that several proinflammatory biomarkers, which included interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP), were observably higher in patients with glioblastoma compared to those with healthy brain tissues. However, the relationship between proinflammatory factors and glioma development remains unclear.
