A hospital-based case-control study of viral encephalitis was carried out at Port Dickson Hospital, in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Between March and May 1999, 69 clinically diagnosed viral encephalitis cases and 31 controls were interviewed. Job histories on pig farming activities were assessed by a group of epidemiologists and veterinary surgeons. Results show that among clinical cases of viral encephalitis, 52 (75.4%) cases were diagnosed to have Nipah virus infection based on positive serology for antibodies to the cross-reacting Hendra virus antigen. The Nipah virus encephalitis was significantly associated with a history of working in pig farms (p < 0.001, OR = 196.0, 95% CI = 20.4 - 4741.6), history of contact with animals (p < 0.001, OR = 38.3, 95% CI = 8.2 - 209.0) and with history of direct contact with pigs (p = 0.002, OR = 34.4, 95% CI = 2.6 - 1,024.4). The Nipah virus infection was also significantly associated with history of feeding/cleaning pigs (p < 0.001, OR = 102, 95% CI = 11.9 - 2,271.5).

  • Socio Economy Gap Analysis of Local Communities in District of Bentong, Pahang
    International Journal of Academic Research in Economics and Management Sciences 2016, Vol. 5, No. 3 ISSN: 2226-3624 Socio Economy Gap Analysis of Local Communities in District of Bentong, Pahang Kamal Kenny, PhD El Sheila Kanavathi DOI: 10.6007/IJAREMS/v5-i3/2247 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJAREMS/v5-i3/2247 Abstract: Over the years, the infusion of private and public entity roles in the context of the socio-economic development of Malaysia is deemed viable as reinforced by the need to address the socio-economic gaps and demands of the local community. These undertakings will more likely provide several important ideas that would suffice related and relevant literatures, which will be used for the creation of better socio-economic growth in Malaysia. The passage from under-development to development means that several inter-related processes occur simultaneously. In an economic sense, development entails the transformation of simple subsistence economies into complex monetary economies. In the process, an increase in the proportion of products that is sold or exchanged and a decline in the proportion of consumption may take place concurrently. The study was carried out to determine the socio- economic demands and gaps of the local population and suggest assistance and interventions required. The overall results of this study reveal the challenges faced at the community level in the District of Bentong in the context of social and economy. This study was carried out via a structured survey throughout the district involving 300 respondents and also complemented with a Focus Group Discussion carried out with key stakeholders.

  • A Feasibility Study of Multiple Micronutrient Supplement for Home Fortification of Foods Among Orang Asli Children in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia
    Mal J Nutr 25(1): 69-77, 2019 A feasibility study of multiple micronutrient supplement for home fortification of foods among Orang Asli children in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia Nur Dayana Shaari, Zalilah Mohd Shariff*, Gan Wan Ying & Loh Su Peng Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT Introduction: The prevalence of child undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are higher in the Orang Asli (OA) than the general Malaysian population. The World Health Organization recommends the use of multiple micronutrient supplement (MMS) that is a blend of micronutrients in powder form that can be sprinkled onto foods for home fortification to prevent undernutrition among children. This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility of using MMS among OA children. Methods: A total of 25 OA children (14 boys and 11 girls) aged 6-31 months (mean±SD = 15.7±7.2 months) in Negeri Sembilan were given three sachets of MMS weekly for 5 weeks. Caregivers were instructed to add MMS to three types of food from the same food group per week varying with a different food group weekly. Written instruction for using MMS in simple language was given prior to the supplementation. Caregivers were interviewed for information on socio-demographics, compliance, acceptance, preference and adverse effect of MMS. Results: A high level of compliance was observed (85%). All caregivers reported that the instructions for use were easy to read. No noticeable changes to the foods mixed with MMS were observed and no adverse effects were reported. Conclusion: This study demonstrated feasibility of the use of MMS for future trials among OA children.

The number of cases recorded is always fluctuating. The aim of the study is to identify the high-risk area for the occurrence of dengue disease. Spatial-temporal model was used by measuring three characteristics which are frequency, duration and intensity to define the severity and magnitude of outbreak transmission. This study examined a total of 386 registered dengue fever cases, geo-coded by address in Jempol district between January 2011 and December 2015. Even though case notification figures are subjected to bias, this information is available in the health services. It may lead to crucial conclusion, recommendations, and hypotheses. Public health officials can utilize the temporal risk indices to describe dengue relatively than relying on the traditional case incident figures. 128 Serangga Keywords: spatial pattern distribution, dengue fever, sub-urban, GIS tools, Jempol, Malaysia.
