Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Electromagnetic field (EMF) spectrum ranges from extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) to ultra-high frequency EMF. Increasing use of wireless telecommunication may pose a risk of cancer development due to prolonged EMF exposure. Due to inconclusive evidence from literature, a scoping systematic review was done to determine evidences to support EMF as a determinant of cancer, as well as the type of EMF is implicated in cancer and the type of cancer involved in association with EMF. Materials and Methods: Full-text articles on Cohort studies and/or randomized controlled trials published from 1st January 2010 to 8th June 2016 were searched using Proquest and other sources. People of all age group and EMF were the type of participant and exposure used for the search strategy, respectively. Data collection was done by 1 reviewer and checked by 2 reviewers for discrepancies. All the papers were critically appraised using the STROBE statement. Qualitative synthesis was done by descriptive comparison, risk of bias comparison and effect of exposure comparison.

Treating and identifying depression in cancer patients increases survival and quality of life. Our objectives are to study prevalence of depressive symptoms in newly diagnosed lung carcinoma, and examine the relationship of depressive symptoms with other influencing risk factors. Methods: A 2-year, cross sectional study February 2015–February 2017, was conducted at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, and Penang General Hospital. One hundred and three patients with newly diagnosed, biopsy confirmed primary lung carcinoma were recruited. Self-rated patient’s identification sheet, validated Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D), and Dukes University Religion Index score from three different main languages were used. Results: Prevalence of current depressive symptoms (CES-D total score ≥16) is 37.9%. The result suggests prevalence of those at high risk of moderate to major depression, may need treatment. Multivariate analysis reveals those with good Eastern Cooperation Oncology Group factor (η2=0.24, p<0.001) married (η2=0.14, p<0.001) with intrinsic religiosity (IR) (η2=0.07, p<0.02) are more resistant to depression.

Mustafa Mahmud3, Jamalludin Bin Ab. Rahman4, Ahmad Kashfi Bin Hj. Ab Rahman5, How Soon Hin6 Abstract Introduction: Meliodosis is an important public health disease caused byBurkholderiapseudomallei. Early laboratory diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment due to its high mortality rate. Objective: This study is conducted to assess the potential role of the in-house IFAT IgM and IgG as the serodiagnostic tool in melioidosis and to determine the cut-off levels. Method: 40 culture-confirmed melioidosis patients were recruited. Controls consisted of a group of 40 patients without active infection and another group of 40 patients with positive blood culture for organisms other thanBurkholderiapseudomallei. Results and Discussion: Using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the best cut-off levels determined to diagnose melioidosis are 1:20 for IgM and 1:80 for IgG. Of these cut off levels, the sensitivity and specificity for IgM are 72.5% and 80% respectively and 65% and 87.5%respectively for IgG which also has high background seropositivity. Conclusion: IFAT IgM at the cut-off level 1:20 is recommended for diagnosis. Keywords: Melioidosis, Indirect Immunofluorescent Antibody Test, Cut-off.

Methods: A 6-year retrospective analysis of surgically treated head and neck cancer cases in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA) Kuantan, Pahang was conducted. Results: The total number of patients reviewed was 55 and mean age of the patients was 59 years (SD 12). The larynx was the most common surgically treated site (29.1%), followed by the oral cavity (16.4%) and the paranasal sinuses (14.5%). Majority of the patients presented with stage III (32.8%) and stage IV (41.8%) cancer. Post-operative local complications (23.6%) and wound breakdown was identified as the most common cause (20%). Low hemoglobin level prior to surgery was associated with anemia after surgery (P = 0.007) and prolonged hospital stay (P = 0.030). Tumor recurrence was observed in 21.8% of the cases. Advanced stage tumor had more percentage of positive margin than early stage tumor i.e., 23% in early stage versus 58% in advanced stage (P = 0.050).
