It is with the greatest pleasure and pride that MEMS presents MAC 10 (2019), the one and only annual national-level endocrinology congress in Malaysia. We look forward to a few days of sound scientific discussion and intellectual discourse, whilst enabling plenty of opportunities for friendly social interactions and future professional networking. This year we have ventured into few niche areas in endocrinology, starting out with a full day of pre-congress dedicated to an emerging area of multidisciplinary care in the management of endocrine tumours encompassing pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas and neuroendocrine tumours, a focus very close to my heart. We are extremely fortunate to have with us leading global and local experts in this field to update us on current and state-of-the-art developments in research, diagnostics and therapeutics. The main congress ensures a broad yet in-depth coverage of endocrine topics which will certainly fulfil the needs of both the general and specialized medical practitioner. The congress theme “Simplifying the Complexity of Endocrinology” expresses the key mission and quest of our endocrinology fraternity which is the need to constantly ease the understanding of the multitude of hormonal dysfunctions and pathophysiology underlying various diseases. This will surely enable greater acceptance and practice of specific treatment approaches and interventions that have been formulated and currently recommended for various endocrine disorders. We are also excited to highlight MEMS collaborative efforts in updating local management guidelines for thyroid disease, acromegaly and diabetes with cardiovascular disease. The congress provides a timely opportunity to share these special achievements with all of you first before we embark on efforts to disseminate them nationwide in the coming months. Finally, on behalf of the MEMS executive committee, I convey our sincere gratitude to all involved in organizing MAC 10 and to the industry partners, for their keen involvement and generous support for our annual congress. Wishing much peace and goodness for all and hope that all will enjoy a most pleasant and memorable experience at MAC 10 this year.

  • Information for Hospitals Considering Participating in the Newcastle
    Appendix F: Information for hospitals Information for Hospitals considering participating in the Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) General Medical Council Registration Programme Newcastle University Medical School was originally founded in 1843. It established an international branch campus (Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia; NUMEd) at Educity, Iskandar Puteri in Johor in 2009 and produced its first graduates in 2014. NUMed delivers two undergraduate degrees: in Medicine (MBBS) and Biomedical Sciences (BSc). Students follow the same curriculum for both these degrees as students in the UK. The MBBS degree is recognised both by the Malaysian Medical Council and also by the UK General Medical Council for registration purposes. Consequently, NUMed MBBS graduates are eligible for provisional registration with both bodies. By a unique arrangement between Newcastle University, Health Education England North East (HEE NE; part of the UK NHS educational arm), the General Medical Council and the Malaysian Ministry of Health it has been agreed that NUMed graduates successfully completing one year of House Officer training within the Malaysian health service may be eligible for Full UK Registration with the GMC. The requirements for this are: • The training must be within a hospital which has been approved by the Postgraduate Dean at HEE NE, who is responsible for ensuring GMC standards have been met. Approval is awarded by a process whereby the Postgraduate Dean visits the hospital prior to placement of any potential candidates. • Within the identified hospital, there must be a willingness of the House Officer committee and other doctors to work with both NUMEd and HEE NE to assess progress through the House Officer programme.

  • A Survey on the Usage and Demand of Medical Radioisotope & Radiopharmaceuticals in Malaysia
    JOURNAL Of NUCLEAR And Related TECHNOLOGIES, Volume 12, No. 2, December 2015. A SURVEY ON THE USAGE AND DEMAND OF MEDICAL RADIOISOTOPE & RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS IN MALAYSIA Muhammad Fakhrurazi Ahmad Fadzil, Siti Selina Abdul Hamid, Siti Najila Mohd Janib, Azahari Kasbollah, Syed Asraf Fahlawi Wafa Medical Technology Division, Malaysian Nuclear Agency, Bangi 43000 Kajang, Selangor ABSTRACT Medical radioisotope is a small quantity of radioactive substance used in safe, cost effective, for the purpose of diagnostic and therapy of various diseases. In Malaysia, the emerging of new nuclear medicine centers or institutions in both government and private sectors rose abruptly for the past few years. Currently, there are no data available on the usage and demand of medial radioisotope or radiopharmaceuticals. Understanding the usage trending and demand of radiopharmaceuticals and medical radioisotope is essential when related to technology changes in order to meet the market size of these radiopharmaceuticals. Survey result found out that the highest demand and the highest usage among all radioisotopes are Technetium-99m and Radioiodine isotopes such as the Iodine-131, Iodine- 131 MIBG, Iodine-123 and Iodine-123 MIBG. Currently, most of the medical isotopes and radiopharmaceuticals are currently imported. Technetium-99m is the backbone of nuclear medicine whereby more than 80% of Nuclear Medicine services utilize this radioisotope. Technetium-99m supply chain is unstable globally and in coming future, two main reactors (Canada & Holland) that produces 60% of world Molybdenum-99 will shut down the operation and supply of Molybdenum-99 will be disrupted. As for radioiodine services, currently, Iodine-123 can't be obtained in Malaysia and neighboring countries due to its short half-life.
