A COMPENDIUM OF ABSTRACTS 2018/2019 Research Projects and Publications of Oral Health Personnel Ministry of Health Malaysia Oral Health Programme Ministry of Health Malaysia November 2020 COMPENDIUM MOH/K/GIG/1.2020 (RR) A COMPENDIUM OF ABSTRACTS 2018/2019 Research Projects and Publications of Oral Health Personnel Ministry of Health Malaysia Oral Health Programme Ministry of Health Malaysia November 2020 FOREWORD BY THE PRINCIPAL DIRECTOR OF ORAL HEALTH MINISTRY OF HEALTH MALAYSIA I am delighted to be able to write a few words of introduc�on to this 20th Compendium of Abstract of the Oral Health Programme, Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH). This publica�on presents a total of 176 research abstracts undertaken by the oral health personnel, MOH, which were reported to the Oral Health Programme, MOH between the year 2018 and 2019. This compendium highlights an array of research areas ranging from varying disciplinary. Another challenge would be the dissemina�on, which has been acknowledged as an important component of the research process. Out of these 173 research abstracts published, 87.5% (154) of research papers were presented at various scien�fic conferences locally and interna�onally. Crea�ng a sound dissemina�on strategy for a par�cular oral health research project will lead to increased awareness of the research and therefore, maximize the impact that the research can have in improving the oral health outcomes of the pa�ents, clinicians and policy makers for evidence-based decision making, or any stakeholders that will benefit from it. The prurience for knowledge shall con�nue into the road of success to perpetuate clinical and public health research in the country. Courageous support from all level of management is pivotal to boost oral health research efforts in Oral Health Programme. The COVID-19 pandemic which hit worldwide in December 2019 necessitates the dental professionals to understand the risks of disease transmission through dental se�ngs. As such, increase research efforts in COVID-19 oral health related research is deemed necessary at this juncture. I wish to extend my hear�elt gra�tude to all oral health personnel whose work are featured in this Compendium, as well as to all others who have contributed excep�onally well to put this Compendium together. Congratula�ons to all of you for skivving in the oral health of the na�on.

  • Historical Development of the Renal Histopathology Services in Malaysia

    Historical Development of the Renal Histopathology Services in Malaysia

    Malaysian J Pathol 2009; 31(1) : 11 – 16 SPECIAL ARTICLE Historical development of the renal histopathology services in Malaysia Lai-Meng LOOI MD, FRCPath and Phaik-Leng CHEAH MD, FRCPath Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya Abstract Western-style medicine was introduced to Malaya by the Portuguese, Dutch and British between the 1500s and 1800s. Although the earliest pathology laboratories were developed within hospitals towards the end of the 19th Century, histopathology emerged much later than the biochemistry and bacteriology services. The University Departments of Pathology were the pioneers of the renal histopathology diagnostic services. The Department of Pathology, University of Malaya (UM) received its first renal biopsy on 19 May 1968. Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) and Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) started their services in 1979 and 1987 respectively. It is notable that the early services in these University centres caterred for both the university hospitals and the Ministry of Health (MOH) until the mid-1990s when MOH began to develop its own services, pivoted on renal pathologists trained through Fellowship programmes. Currently, key centres in the MOH are Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Sultanah Aminah Hospital Johor Bahru and Malacca Hospital. With the inclusion of renal biopsy interpretation in the Master of Pathology programmes, basic renal histopathology services became widely available throughout the country from 2000. This subsequently filtered out to the private sector as more histopatholo- gists embraced private practice. There is now active continuing professional development in renal histopathology through clinicopathological dicussions, seminars and workshops. Renal research on amyloid nephropathy, minimal change disease, IgA nephropathy, fibrillary glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis and microwave technology have provided an insight into the patterns of renal pathology and changing criteria for biopsy.

    VALUATION TERMINOLOGY STANDARDISATION TO IMPLEMENT MASS APPRAISAL AT LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR AN INTEGRATED GREEN COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT IN MALAYSIA Chitrakala Muthuveerappan, Buang Alias, Mohd Shafie ABSTRACT In property taxation, mass appraisal is the best practice being applied by various developed contries to support paperless administation for Local Authorities. In Malaysia, the existing mass appraisal model being developed at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is aimed to assist mass appraisal for Local Authorities under Malaysian environment and to standardise the list of mass appraisal parameters at national level. At present, the emerging issues in mass appraisal model that obstruct green computing implementation are the capacity gap, the hedonic model parameters, lack of parameters' value classification, and the parameters' terminology usage by the Local Authorities. The lack of valuation terminology standardisation consequently obstructs to provide an integrated and automated environment among mass appraisal, finance and GIS departments at Local Authority's administration. The vigorous issues at present which is the standardisation of valuation terminology, and the proposed terminology glossary are discussed.

In particular, recently Gas Malaysia’s wholly owned subsidiary, Gas Malaysia Virtual Pipeline Sdn Bhd (“GMVP”) signed the Gas Purchase Agreement with Kulim Green Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd (“Kulim Green Energy”), a joint venture company between Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad (a wholly owned subsidiary of Johor Corporation), O’Rec IND Sdn Bhd and MTC Engineering Sdn Bhd. Resulting from this partnership, GMVP will procure biomethane from Kulim Green Energy for injection into Gas Malaysia’s Natural Gas Distribution System (“NGDS”) network. From Gas Malaysia’s perspective, this business venture is part of its long term sustainable strategy, which is to have an alternative renewable and sustainable source of gas supply. Biomethane is produced from Palm Oil Mill Effluent and upgraded to a specification similar to natural gas available in the NGDS network.

BMC Nephrology (2020) 21:344 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-020-01966-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its associated factors in Malaysia; findings from a nationwide population-based cross- sectional study Thamil Arasu Saminathan1* , Lai Seong Hooi2, Muhammad Fadhli Mohd Yusoff1, Loke Meng Ong3, Sunita Bavanandan4, Wan Shakira Rodzlan Hasani1, Esther Zhao Zhi Tan5, Irene Wong6, Halizah Mat Rifin1, Tania Gayle Robert1, Hasimah Ismail1, Norazizah Ibrahim Wong1, Ghazali Ahmad4, Rashidah Ambak1, Fatimah Othman1, Hamizatul Akmal Abd Hamid1 and Tahir Aris1 Abstract Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Malaysia was 9.07% in 2011. We aim to determine the current CKD prevalence in Malaysia and its associated risk factors. Methods: A population-based study was conducted on a total of 890 respondents who were representative of the adult population in Malaysia, i.e., aged ≥18 years old. Respondents were randomly selected using a stratified cluster method. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated from calibrated serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI equation. CKD was defined as eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 or the presence of persistent albuminuria if eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73m2. Results: Our study shows that the prevalence of CKD in Malaysia was 15.48% (95% CI: 12.30, 19.31) in 2018, an increase compared to the year 2011 when the prevalence of CKD was 9.07%. An estimated 3.85% had stage 1 CKD, 4.82% had stage 2 CKD, and 6.48% had stage 3 CKD, while 0.33% had stage 4–5 CKD.
