Olfactory and Gustatory Dysfunctions as a Clinical Manifestation of Coronavirus Disease 2019 in a Malaysian Tertiary Center.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction among patients with COVID-19 infection and the recovery rate.

Methods: Adult patients (≥18 years) tested positive for COVID-19 via reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and admitted in Hospital Tuanku Ja'afar Seremban, Malaysia, were recruited in this study. Patients completed a questionnaire via telephone interview comprising the following details: age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidities, general and otorhinolaryngological symptoms, onset and duration of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction.

Symptomatic oral squamous papilloma of the uvula - a rare incidental finding.

Oral squamous papillomas are benign neoplasms of the oral cavity that occur commonly on the palate. Albeit benign and often asymptomatic, they may still cause concern due to their appearance, which may mimic other malignant oral pathologies. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is usually implicated in papilloma pathogenesis.

Organ Preservation in Rectal Cancer: The Patients' Perspective.

Organ preservation after a clinical complete response to radiochemotherapy is currently one of the most discussed topics in the management of rectal cancer. However, the patients' perspective has only been poorly studied so far. In this multicenter study, we examined 49 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Clinical Profile and Visual Outcome of Ocular Bartonellosis in Malaysia.

Ocular bartonellosis can present in various ways, with variable visual outcome. There is limited data on ocular bartonellosis in Malaysia. We aim to describe the clinical presentation and visual outcome of ocular bartonellosis in Malaysia.

Concurrent Lateral Condyle Mass Fracture With Olecranon Fracture: A Case Report and Brief Review of Literature.

Introduction: There is very limited literature describing the association of lateral condyle mass (LCM) fracture of the distal humerus associated concurrently with olecranon fracture. Herein, a case is reported of a displaced LCM fracture with displaced olecranon fracture, due to complex trauma while getting out of a vehicle, which was managed by open reduction and internal fixation.

Case Presentation: A 4.

Interobserver Agreement and Intraobserver Reproducibility of Barzullah Working Classification of Distal End Radius Fractures among Orthopaedic Residents.

Background: The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis of the new classification system of distal end radius fractures (Barzullah working classification) proposed by one of the author in a prospective cohort study, among the orthopaedic residents.

Methods: The initial post-injury radiographs of 300 patients with distal radius fractures in a tertiary centre were classified by two junior residents (JR1 and JR2) and two senior residents (SR1 and SR2) in the emergency department over a period of two years. The collected data was analysed statistically by using Cohan's kappa for measuring Intraobserver reproducibility and Fleiss kappa for measuring Interobserver agreement.

Squat Winnowing: Cause of Meniscus Injuries in Non-Athletic Females.

Background: Sports activities were thought to be the major cause of meniscus injury in both men and woman, but our observations of non-athletic females show that the cause of meniscus injury was unrelated to any type of sports activity.

Objectives: This study revealed squat winnowing to be a major cause of meniscus injury in non-athletic females.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary care orthopaedic hospital which caters to a population of 10 million people.

The meaning of self-reported death anxiety in advanced cancer.

Background: Death anxiety is important but understudied in palliative care. New self-report measurements have been developed, but their interpretation and clinical utility may not be evident.

Aim: To inform our understanding of death anxiety in patients with advanced cancer by exploring the relationship between this self-reported symptom and its clinical presentation.

MultiComponent Exercise and theRApeutic lifeStyle (CERgAS) intervention to improve physical performance and maintain independent living among urban poor older people--a cluster randomised controlled trial.

Background: The ability of older people to function independently is crucial as physical disability and functional limitation have profound impacts on health. Interventions that either delay the onset of frailty or attenuate its severity potentially have cascading benefits for older people, their families and society. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a multiComponent Exercise and theRApeutic lifeStyle (CERgAS) intervention program targeted at improving physical performance and maintaining independent living as compared to general health education among older people in an urban poor setting in Malaysia.
