Clinical features, molecular characteristics and surgical management of primary penile mucosal melanoma based on the European Association of Urology Penile Cancer Guidelines
No full textPenile mucosal melanoma is an aggressive and rare genital malignancy. The aim of the present study was to review the management and outcomes of a homogenous cohort of patients with histologically confirmed penile mucosal melanoma, at a single specialist centre. A retrospective review of an institutional database identified patients with penile mucosal melanoma over a 10-year period. Patient demographics, histopathological characteristics, type of primary surgery, recurrence, presence of metastatic disease and molecular markers were evaluated. The management of the patients was initially based on the European Association of Urology (EAU) penile cancer guidelines which are primarily for squamous cell carcinoma with inputs from a melanoma multidisciplinary team. Twelve patients with penile mucosal melanoma were analysed. Median [interquartile range (IQR)] age was 69.5 (67.25-81) years. The overall median follow-up (IQR) was 69.5 (20-114) months, while median follow-up for cancer-specific survival (CSS) was 11.5 (8-37) months. Location of the primary tumour was glans penis (n = 7), urethra (n = 2) and inner prepuce (n = 3). The CSS at 1, 2 and 5 years after primary surgery was 33%, 16.7% and 0%, respectively. The recurrence-free survival at 1, 3 and 5 months after the primary surgery was 90%, 67% and 56%, respectively. All patients with metastatic disease or with inguinal lymph node invasion at presentation, died within 25 months of the primary diagnosis. Management based on the modified EAU penile cancer guidelines still led to poor outcomes. We present a management diagram based on our experience.</p

Seasoned equity offerings: determining the characteristics of Malaysian firms in consumers product industries / Amirul Aiman A Rashid
No full textSeasoned equity offerings (SEOs) are sales of stock after the initial public offering. It was to raise funds from the sale of stock rather issuing additional debt. I, the author, adopt a method that been had used to predict the characteristic of firms that likely to undertake the form of financing through SEO. The technique was based on logistic regression where by the firm specific variables are acquired from the perspective of the firm's returned earning, cash-flow investment, net income, capital expenditure and long-term debt. A software package called SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is being used in finding and analyzing the data. In order to observe the relationship between the Dependent variable, likelihood of firm choosing SEO, and the independent variables, returned earning, cash-flow investment, net income, capital expenditure and long-term debt, wald test produced by SPSS are used for analysis during this research
Ace-Spire Your MUET: English Club's MUET preparation webinar / Muhammad Aiman Abdul Halim and Nazima Versay Kudus
No full textOn 10th June 2023, the English Language Club of UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang (UiTMCPP) hosted an intensive Malaysian University English Test (MUET) webinar under the name "Ace-Spire Your MUET." This programme aimed to guide and motivate students gearing up for their imminent MUET examinations, providing them with essential tips and strategies to ace MUET questions while nurturing their analytical skills. Despite postponement of nearly two months from its original date, this 3-hour webinar witnessed the enthusiastic participation of 17 UiTM students and 26 Form Six students from other esteemed institutions. Guided by two Akademi Pengajian Bahasa (APB) lecturers as programme advisors, this initiative was driven solely by passion and collaboration, devoid of any university budget. In a collaboration with Penerbit Ehsan, the English Language Club had successfully provided participants with textbooks, webinar platform, and the expertise of an acclaimed MUET examiner, Mr. Choo Wan Yat. As the author of ACE MUET, along with a repertoire of other esteemed workbooks and textbooks, Mr. Choo is a highly sought-after speaker in the MUET community. His expertise shone as he delved into MUET's Writing and Reading components, endowing participants with invaluable insights aligned with the latest syllabus based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
Identifying and validating recurrent structural variants affecting tumor genomes using GROM and VN
No full textDo recurring structural variants in genomes of multiple myeloma patients affect tumorigenesis? We hypothesize that these structural variants play a part in tumorigenesis as they overlap certain genes that have functions related to cancer symptoms.Presented at the annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity while the author was an undergraduate student at Rutgers University-Camden
Effects of global change drivers on the susceptibility of wild plants to pathogenic diseases
No full textOngoing human activities are causing major global environmental changes (e.g., warming, nutrient enrichment, and shifts in precipitation levels), which are negatively affecting the structure and functioning of Earth’s ecosystems. These environmental changes have been shown to intensify or weaken plant-pathogen interactions and the extent of diseases they cause. To date, however, a comprehensive quantitative synthesis of the effects of major global environmental changes on plant-pathogen interactions is still lacking. Here, we are evaluating the effects of nutrient enrichment, warming, drought, and major global environmental changes on the susceptibility and severity of diseases caused by plant pathogens. To date, we have compiled data of 183 cases of study from 18 papers and performed a meta-analysis of the effects of nutrient enrichment, warming, and drought, on wild-plant diseases caused by a variety of pathogens including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Insights from this meta-analysis may help better predict how anthropogenic changes may be driving the prevalence of these plant-pathogen interactions. Understanding how global change drivers affect plant-pathogen interactions is crucial to better predict the outcome of infectious plant diseases and to improve our ability to mitigate their effects.Presented at the annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity while the author was an undergraduate student at Rutgers University-Camden
