Preliminary Announcement http://www.scecei2019.cf/ Dear Colleagues, Parents and Friends, Fu Yuan Kindergarten, a community-based kindergarten who has implemented inclusive education for Early Years’ children for the past ten years, is honour to be the host of this Conference. The Conference in Kuching (2017) attracted 418 participants from all over Malaysia and nearby countries. Children with special needs surround us daily; everyone ought to accept them with open hearts, be it in the school or the society. While accompanying them and their families, we aim to provide them with quality early education. With proper assistance and support, the children can achieve in many ways, like their peers without special needs. However, much more has yet to be done. This conference will be held by the side of the mighty 563-km-long Rajang River (the longest river in Malaysia) in Central Sarawak, the Borneo part of Malaysia. We aim to attract 500 participants or more from all over Malaysia, as well as internationally. We gather to discuss issues about inclusive education in early years and find ways to implement them successfully. More than 40 international and Malaysian speakers have been identified, to provide participants with a range of topics divided into plenary, dialogue, concurrent workshops and interactive sessions. Visiting to a traditional long house and local tourist attractions (optional) have also been prepared.

    Malaysian J Pathol 2018; 40(1) : 83 – 102 The 16th Annual Scientific Meeting of the College of Pathologists, Academy of Medicine of Malaysia was held at the Royale Chulan Seremban Hotel, in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan on 12th- 13th October 2017. Abstracts of paper (poster) presented are as follows: AP-01. A palatal swelling transpires out as a nasal B-cell NHL- a case report Sunil Pazhayanur Venkateswaran1, Rafiq Abdul Karim Vasiwala2 Department of Pathology1 and ENT2, International Medical University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Introduction: Primary sinonasal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma’s (NHLs) is a rare condition, which emulates the presentation of a benign inflammatory disease. It is challenging to distinguish morphologically as well as radiologically sinonasal lymphomas from other malignant neoplasms. Case Report: We report a 37-year-old male patient who was presented with nasal obstruction, rhinorrhoea, bloody discharge/epistaxis, post nasal drip, facial swelling, orbital symptoms and fever. Endoscopic examination and CT scan of the paranasal sinuses with adequate amount of biopsy tissue is required for a definitive diagnosis. Considering this, endoscopic sinus surgery was performed to eradicate the disease as well as obtain a definite histological diagnosis. The mass was histologically proven as a Nasal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemically, the cells were strongly positive for CD20, CD79a, BCL2, BCL6 and MUM1.CD10 was focally positive. Ki-67 index was <99%. After confirmation of the histological diagnosis, chemotherapy was started and with the first cycle, the patient improved with resolution of the facial swelling as well as pain and visual defects. Conclusion: The diagnosis of a sinonasal lymphoma is a challenge for otorhinologists.

  • Selective Screening for Gestational Diabetes in Malaysia
    Ganeshan Muniswaran1, H Suharjono1, SA Soelar2, SD Karalasingam2, R Jeganathan3 Sarawak General Hospital, 1-Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia Jalan Hospital, 93586, Kuching, Sarawak 2- Clinical Research Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Hp. No: 0125871220 3- Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Gestational Diabetes is common in Malaysia and has significant maternal and fetal implications. Active intervention has shown to improve pregnancy outcomes. Pregnancy is an opportunistic time for screening as the future implications of Diabetes can be significant. An ideal screening tool should not be based on complications of the disease or following an adverse event. Despite recommendations for universal screening in a high risk population, Malaysia has opted for selective screening, due to concerns with cost and resources. The objective is to review the effectiveness of the current practice of selective screening for GDM in Malaysia. METHODOLOGY This is a retrospective cohort study. The study period was from 1st January 2011 till 31st December 2012 and 22, 044 patients with GDM were analyzed. Specific variables were extracted from the National Obstetric Registry of Malaysia from all the participating hospitals, with a total 260,959 patients. RESULTS The incidence of GDM is 8.4%. Majority of these patients were identified following GDM complications such as fetal macrosomia, polyhydramnios or increased weight gain. GESTATIONAL DIABETES CRUDE OR VARIABLE YES NO (SIMPLE

  • Chapter Eight Monuments, Mediums & the Municipality: Constructing
    Chapter Eight Monuments, Mediums & the Municipality: Constructing Chineseness and Sacred Space in Hat Yai “No need to go to Phuket, no need to go to Trang.” A PA laden pickup repeatedly blared out this message as it followed a parade of palanquin‐ borne deities and spirit mediums through the streets of Hat Yai during the 2001 Vegetarian Festival, a ritual event which has long been practised by the Chinese of peninsular Southeast Asia but has in recent years been gaining wider popularity. The procession was organised by the Thep Na Ja shrine and run by a native of Phuket who had moved to Hat Yai several years before. It featured the kinds of spectacular self‐mortification and other ‘superhuman’ feats performed by spirit mediums that have become the notorious hallmarks of the Vegetarian Festivals held in Phuket and Trang. Hat Yai, despite its overwhelmingly Chinese population and character, has no such long association with the Festival. In fact such spectacular public displays can only be traced back a few years. Nonetheless, the PA announcement listed the full gamut of ritual performances that would take place: bladed‐bridge and ladder climbing, bathing in boiling oil, walking on hot coals, piercing and other forms of self‐mortification. While such performances are inherently ‘theatrical’ in nature, they are also aspects of worship. This announcement thus promised more than an upcoming spectacle; it also announced a new location for the authentic worship of the Nine Emperor Gods, the deities at the centre of the Festival. Such activity set Hat Yai in direct competition with the established Festivals of Phuket and Trang, promising a complete and authentic transplantation of the Festival experience, both sensory and sacred, to this new location.
