Pharmacogenetics of ophthalmic topical β-blockers
No full textGlaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The primary glaucoma risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure. Topical β-blockers are affordable and widely used to lower intraocular pressure. Genetic variability has been postulated to contribute to interpersonal differences in efficacy and safety of topical β-blockers. This review summarizes clinically significant polymorphisms that have been identified in the β-adrenergic receptors (ADRB1, ADRB2 and ADRB3). The implications of polymorphisms in CYP2D6 are also discussed. Although the candidate-gene approach has facilitated significant progress in our understanding of the genetic basis of glaucoma treatment response, most drug responses involve a large number of genes, each containing multiple polymorphisms. Genome-wide association studies may yield a more comprehensive set of polymorphisms associated with glaucoma outcomes. An understanding of the genetic mechanisms associated with variability in individual responses to topical β-blockers may advance individualized treatment at a lower cost
The upgrading of Mykid intialization system for IRIS Corporation Berhad (IRIS)
No full textThe usage of smart card has dramatically expands over the centuries. This is due to the needs in various areas such as healthcare, communication, self identification, banking, and many more that smart card contributes. Malaysia is one of the countries that are implementing smart card as self identification for the citizens. Malaysia has started with MyKad and recently, the government introduces MyKid as identification card for kids below 12 years old. MyKid Initialization System is a system that links two ‘firmware’, which is ‘mechanical firmware’ and ‘reader firmware’ with the mechanical parts of machine that operates the smart card operating machine. The system ran on physical machine named MRR300E. Due to several upgrading to the mechanical part of the machine, the mechanical firmware has to change. Changing the mechanical firmware caused the Machine Automation Department, hereinafter called as MAD, at IRIS need to review back the previous version of the software to enable the new firmware and hardware functioning and delivered the same task as before. Also, the upgrading involved several enhancements to the software. With this new software, security features are added that enable only the maintainer can access the maintainer page. Also, the system will be auto lock from being run after certain times. This is to enable the maintainer team to trace the condition of the machine, and how the machine operated at certain period of time. The methodology used to deliver the project is V shape methodology as this is the simpler methodology compared to others. As MAD have not implement software engineering practices before, choosing V shape is a wise move to introduce software engineering documents and practices. As a result, after competing this project, the author have produced Interface Requirement (IRS), Software Requirement Specification (SRS), Software Design Description (SDD) for the upgraded software. The upgraded software is now known as MyKid version 1.6.2. Hence, this technical report provides experienced-based discussions of software development process of upgrading Mykid Initialization System
