Case –Control Study and Meta-Analysis of the Association Between LIPG rs9958947 SNP and Stroke Risk
AbstractThe rs9958947 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) resides in the promoter region of the lipase G (LIPG) gene. This newly discovered SNP increases the risk of stroke in some Asian populations, including Chinese and Korean populations. Stroke is one of the top 5 leading causes of death in Malaysia, so it is of interest to investigate whether this SNP is associated with stroke risk in the Malaysian population. Therefore, this study investigates this association through a case –control study on a Malaysian population along with a comprehensive meta-analysis. Genotyping ofLIPG rs9958947 SNP was performed for 241 Mala...

The Effectiveness of Stroke Riskometer ™ in Improving Stroke Risk Awareness in Malaysia: A Study Protocol of a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: This study will evaluate the effect of Stroke Riskometer™ app on stroke awareness and stroke probability and briefly evaluate participant engagement to a pre-specified trial protocol. The findings from this will inform physicians and public health professionals of the benefit of mobile technology intervention and encourage more active mobile phone-based disease prevention apps.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT04529681.Neuroepidemiology

SLC17A3 rs9379800 and Ischemic Stroke Susceptibility at the Northern Region of Malaysia
The relationships of Paired Like Homeodomain 2 (PITX2), Ninjurin 2 (NINJ2), TWIST-Related Protein 1 (TWIST1), Ras Interacting Protein 1 (Rasip1), Solute Carrier Family 17 Member 3 (SLC17A3), Methylmalonyl Co-A Mutase (MUT) and Fer3 Like BHLH Transcription Factor (FERD3L) polymorphisms and gene expression with ischemic stroke have yet to be determined in Malaysia. Hence, this study aimed to explore the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene expression with ischemic stroke risk among population who resided at the Northern region of Malaysia.

Association of traditional complementary and alternate medicine usage with quality of life of diabetic patients in a Malaysian tertiary hospital
This study aims to design to assess the traditional, complementary and alternate medicine (TCAM) usage and its association with the quality of life (QOL) of Type 2 diabetic patients in a tertiary hospital (Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia) in Malaysia. A total of 300 respondents included in this study were divided into the following two major categories: TCAM (34.33% of respondents) and non-TCAM users (65.67% of the respondents), respectively. The mean ages of the respondents were 59.3 ± 10.2 for the TCAM users and 57.7 ± 12.0 for the non-TCAM users. A greater percentage of non-TCAM users reported poor co...

Return to flying after coronary artery disease: A case series among Malaysian pilots
CONCLUSIONS: The risk assessment was initiated with initial risk-stratification using population-appropriate risk calculator combined with the 4 × 4 aeromedical risk matrix. The reassessment of return to flying after coronary artery disease must be carried out no sooner than six months after the event. Pilots must be hemodynamically stable with no evidence of significant inducible ischemic left and a minimum 50% of ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). A follow-up is recommended at the initial six months after recertification and then annually with a routine noninvasive cardiac assessment.PMID:34155722 | DOI:10.1002/1348-9585.12241

Stroke Patients' Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes: A Pre-Post COVID-19 Comparison Study
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic may not have caused disruptions of acute stroke care in our primary stroke centre. Our data indicated that the number of ischaemic stroke events remained stable, with a significant increase of recanalisation therapies and better in-hospital workflow metrics during the COVID-19 pandemic period. However, we would like to highlight that the burden of COVID-19 cases in the study area was very low. Therefore, the study may not have captured the true burden (and relevant delays in stroke patient management) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The effect of the pandemic crisis is ongoing and both pre-...
