No full text\ua9 Copyright \ua9 2020 Abd Hamid, Azman, Gennery, Mangantig, Hashim and Zainudeen.Introduction: Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are under-reported in Malaysia. The actual disease frequency of PID in this country is unknown due to the absence of a national patient registry for PID. Objective: This systematic review aimed to determine the prevalence rates of PID cases diagnosed and published in Malaysia from 1st of January 1979 until 1st of March 2020. It also aimed to describe the various types of PIDs reported in Malaysia. Method: Following the development of a comprehensive search strategy, all published literature of PID cases from Malaysia was identified and collated. All cases that fulfilled the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) classification diagnosis were included in the systematic review. Data were retrieved and collated into a proforma. Results: A total of 4,838 articles were identified and screened, with 34 publications and 119 patients fulfilling the criteria and being included in the systematic review. The prevalence rate was 0.37 per 100,000 population. In accordance with the IUIS, the distribution of diagnostic classifications was immunodeficiencies affecting cellular and humoral immunities (36 patients, 30.3%), combined immunodeficiencies with associated or syndromic features (21 patients, 17.6%), predominant antibody deficiencies (24 patients, 20.2%), diseases of immune dysregulation (13 patients, 10.9%), congenital defects in phagocyte number or function (20 patients, 16.8%), defects in intrinsic and innate immunity (4 patients, 3.4%), and autoinflammatory disorders (1 patient, 0.8%). Parental consanguinity was 2.5%. Thirteen different gene mutations were available in 21.8% of the cases. Conclusion: PIDs are underdiagnosed and under-reported in Malaysia. Developing PID healthcare and a national patient registry is much needed to enhance the outcome of PID patient care

Mushaf al-quran serta hubungannya dengan Tariq al-syatibiyyah dan al-jazariyyah
No full textKajian ini bertujuan untuk menyingkap kefahaman yang tepat mengenai ruang lingkup mushaf al-Quran dan hubungannya dengan aliran al-Syatibiyyah dan al-Jazariyyah. Ia juga bertujuan memperlihatkan secara umum bahawasanya mushaf tersebut mempunyai berbagai cabang ilmu sepertimana yang telah digarap kan oleh para ulama dalam ilmu ulum al-Quran. Kajian berbentuk deskriptif ini akan membahaskan pandangan para qurra berkaitan mushaf al-Quran serta cabang ilmu yang berkait dengan kedua-dua aliran tersebut. Kesemua data dianalisis menggunakan metode induktif dan deduktif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawasanya tidak semua cabang ilmu yang terdapat di dalam mushaf riwayat Hafs boleh disandarkan kepada tariq al-Syatibiyyah dan al-Jazariyyah. Hal ini demikian terdapat cabang ilmu yang telah diakui tawqifiyyah daripada Rasulullah s.a.w.. dan tidak kurang juga yang berdasarkan ijtihadiyyah daripada para qurra. Maka dengan ini jikalau kefahaman ini tidak diperjelaskan secara terperinci kepada masyarakat umum, dikhuatiri masyarakat akan terkeliru tentang aspek tawqifiyyah dan aspek ijtihadiyyah dalam mushaf al-Quran khususnya mushaf riwayat Hafs bin Sulayman al-Kuf

Magnesium and phosphate level during admission in Sepsis patients in relation with mortality and Morbidity in intensive care unit Hospital universiti sains malaysia
No full textMagnesium And Phosphate Level During Admission In Sepsis Patients In Relation With
Mortality And Morbidity In Intensive Care Unit Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. Magnesium and phosphate are electrolytes that important for body homeostasis
and maintains normal body function. Hypomagnesaemia and hypophosphataemia are frequent
phenomenon in hospitalized patient and have a higher prevalence in intensive care. The focus of
this study was to determine the prevalence in these both electrolytes in sepsis patient during ICU
admission and its relation to mortality and morbidity. The main aim of this study is to determine the level of magnesium and phosphate
during ICU admission in sepsis patient admitted to Intensive Care Unit and its relation with
mortality and morbidity. This study was a retrospective study with chart review from 108 sepsis adult
patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit HUSM from January 2010 to July 2011. The baseline
characteristics and ICU outcomes of all patients were retrospectively collected by reviewing their
medical record. Patients characteristic including age, sex, APACHE II score, primary reason for ICU, magnesium and phosphate level during admission, ICU stay and last day in ICU were recorded. Total day required for mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, ICU mortality and
recovery were recorded. There were 52.3% (34/65) ICU mortality from group hypomagnesaemia, 32.3 %( 21/65)
normal magnesium and 15.4% (10/65) hypermagnesaemia (p<0.05). There was statistically
significant that 53.8 % (21/39) from patients who were discharge home (recovery) have normal
magnesium level compare to 35.9% (14/39) hypomagnesaemia. Hypomagnesaemia group
required longer ventilatory support with mean 8.06±7.94 days than normal magnesium level
group 5.79±6.089 days. The length of ICU stay was longer in hypomagnesaemia group that is
8.88±7.86 days compare with normal magnesium group 7.00±6.863 days (p>0.05). We found
that 43.6 % (17/39) from patients who were discharge home (recovery) have normal phosphate level compare to 33.3% (13/39) hypophosphataemia (p>0.05). We also found for hypophosphataemia group required same duration of ventilator support with mean 7.44±6.66
days with normal phosphate level group 7.47±8.70days. The length of ICU stay is similar in
hypophosphataemia group that was 8.96±6.41 days and normal phosphate group 8.49±8.64 days. The study was able to determine that the hypomagnesaemia during admission are
associated with higher mortality rate and cause more morbidity in term of prolonged ventilatory
support and increase length of ICU stay. However hypophosphataemia did not increase mortality
and morbidity

The impact of online food delivery services on the financial performance of restaurant businesses in Malaysia
No full textThe food delivery industry is evolving and accelerated significantly in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which made dine-ins impossible. The appeal of consumers to the approach of online food ordering is growing significantly, which has changed the way many consumers and food businesses interact. Many consumers and food business operators rely on food delivery platforms during movement control orders (MCO) with the no dine-in ruling. However, some businesses reported operating at a loss due to the platform's exorbitant delivery charges and hidden fees. As a result, the impact on food delivery services is hotly debated, and it is unclear whether online food delivery services improve business financial performance. Measuring financial performance, rather than just marketing triumphs, can determine how well a business is doing. Furthermore, studies on the impact of food delivery services on businesses are critical because this market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. By using delivery services helps food businesses expand their operation outside their location as the delivery coverage. A propensity score matching analysis is proposed in this conceptual study to estimate causal treatment effects. The propensity score matching method is used to correct sample selection bias caused by structured questionnaires distributed to Malaysian restaurant businesses to collect primary data on observable differences between treatment and control groups. This conceptual research aims to assess the impact of food delivery services on restaurant financial performance in Malaysia. The relationship between food delivery services is expected to drive business financial performance.e

Combinatorial technology in heterogenous copper-based catalysis
No full textThe combinatorial process allows the exploration of large and diverse compositional and parameter spaces by establishing an integrated workflow of rapid parallel or combinatorial synthesis of large numbers of catalytic materials, subsequent high-throughput assaying of these compounds and large-scale data analysis. The aim of this high-throughput experiment was to develop catalysts with an intrinsically high activity using multiple parallel batch slurry reactors at process condition; pressure at 100 bar H2, temperature at 523K, reaction time of 4 hours and stirring speed at 750 rpm. In this screening phase, over 150 copper based-catalysts have been tested in 2 month. The copper based-catalysts used in the screening were prepared using slurry method at high metal loading. All results from the screening were combined in Access database and analyzed using Spotfire software. The results of catalyst screening were evaluated on the basis of their activity and the trends per family of catalysts. It is found that the catalyst in the family of silica support, Cu-Zn bimetallic and prepared from metal-citrate solution shows better result compared to other catalyst families
