Background
Recently, screening of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients for mismatch repair/microsatellite instability (MMR/MSI) status is widely practiced due to its potential predictive and prognostic roles and a screening tool to reveal Lynch Syndrome (LS). The purpose of the study was to evaluate concordance between immunohistochemistry (IHC) and MS...
Osteosarcoma is one of the most common types of malignant bone tumors, typically involving long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus. However, osteosarcomas occurring in the jaws are exceptionally rare, accounting for approximately 7% of all osteosarcoma cases and just 1% of malignancies in the head and neck region. This type of tumor usuall...
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare primary cutaneous lymphoma which often be very complexed to be diagnosed. Here we reported a case of a 38-year-old lady with wax and wane course of left facial swelling associated with prolonged pyrexia of unknown origin, lethargy and prominent weight loss. Multiple investigations wer...

INTRODUCTION: Acute myeloid leukaemia is a haematological malignancy with diverse cytogenetic abnormalities and molecular mutations. Amongst the important mutations are FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) gene mutations. These mutations have been shown to be of prognostic significance. A cross-sectional study to examine...
Madura foot or mycetoma pedis is a chronic granulomatous disease of the foot caused by fungus or gram-positive aerobic bacteria. It is commonly encountered in tropical and subtropical countries but is rare in Malaysia. We report a 40-year-old Rohingya refugee, a resident in Malaysia for the past 11 years, who presented with a long-standing left foo...

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising from the spine is exceedingly rare. Spinal cord compression can be the first presentation of a patient with primary spinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Due to its rarity and vague clinical presentation, the diagnosis can be confused with tuberculosis of the spine, a more common disease in this country. We present a cas...
Honey has been used as food and medicine by ancient and modern world, and by all traditions and civilisations. Modern medicine has accepted honey as therapeutic agent for diversity of clinical ailments. Honey is a source of important macro and micronutrients, and a rich source of calories. Honey possesses modulating effects on most of risk factors...
INTRODUCTION: The deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) status of colorectal cancer (CRC) is the hallmark of a defective DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) indirectly detects the affected gene by the loss of its protein product. This study aimed to assess the frequency of different types of dMMR status and associate them with t...
INTRODUCTION: Exposure to environmental arsenic remains a major public health challenge. Human is exposed to arsenic from groundwater as a result of anthropogenic activities. Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic has been linked with multiple medical conditions. Therefore, many agricultural countries have shifted the use of inorganic to the organic...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disorder worldwide with no curative therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of a novel Trihoney against biochemical and histological manifestations of NAFLD in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Methodology. Forty-eight male New Zealand wh...
Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) constitute a major pathogenic mechanism for the development of atherosclerosis. In the present work, the antioxidant potential of Trihoney was investigated in hypercholesterolaemic rabbits. Thirty-six male New Zealand white (NZW) rabbits were grouped into: normal diet (C), normal diet with 0.6 g/kg...
Introduction: Sacral chordomas are rare, low-grade and slow growing malignant bone tumours arising from the sacral bone. They are locally aggressive with the tendency to metastasize to the lungs. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment of sacral chordomas. However, most patients presented late with large tumours and intra-abdominal ext...
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and high serum cholesterol proven as the main trigger of its pathogenesis. Development of atherosclerotic lesions is closely related to the level of serum cholesterol. Expression of adhesion molecules has been correlated with the extent of aortic lesions. Serum circulating forms of intercellular adh...
Introduction: Human are exposed to arsenic threats in several ways. Our drinking water for instance, can be hazardous due to the contamination of arsenic-based pesticide and herbicide into our water supply. The most vulnerable part of our body due to ingestion of arsenic is our gastrointestinal system. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine t...
Introduction: The Transfusion Unit of International Islamic University Medical Centre (IIUM MC) performs screening for red cell antibodies for all patients who are to be or might be transfused with red cell components. There are two types of red cell antibodies, the alloantibodies and autoantibodies. While the red cell autoantibodies are produced a...
ABSTRACT
Acute toxic effect of fenugreek on liver histology has not been fully explored. Hence the objective of this study is to investigate the acute toxicity of fenugreek seeds aqueous extract (FSA) on liver histology. Twelve male Swiss albino mice, were randomly divided into control (C), and three treatment (T1, T2, and T3) groups (n = 3 each)...
Introduction: The most common differential diagnoses of benign anterior neck mass are thyroid lesion, thyroglossal cyst, lymph nodes enlargement and dermoid cyst. Among all of neck masses, thyroid lesion either diffuse or multinodular carries majority of the cases. One of rare differential diagnosis of anterior neck mass is lipoma. Method: Case rep...
