A comprehensive review of remediation strategies for mitigating salt precipitation and enhancing CO injectivity during CO injection into saline aquifers.

Geological CO sequestration is a proven method for mitigating climate change by reducing atmospheric CO levels. However, CO injection often induces salt precipitation, leading to decreased formation permeability, which in turn limits CO injectivity and storage capacity. Conventional approaches, such as freshwater and low-salinity water injection, have been employed to mitigate salt precipitation.

Experimental and theoretical investigation of the mechanisms of drying during CO injection into saline reservoirs.

A viable CO storage resource must have sufficient storage capacity, reliable containment efficiency and adequate well injectivity. Deep saline formations stand out in terms of storage capacity and containment efficiency. However, formation brine dry-out and salt precipitation in the near well region could impair CO injectivity in deep saline reservoirs, thus reducing their potential for CO storage.

Management of Atopic Eczema in primary care.

Atopic eczema (AE) is a common inflammatory skin dermatosis that is increasing in prevalence. However, it can present in various clinical presentations, which leads to challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of the condition, especially in a primary care setting. The Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Atopic Eczema was developed by a multidisciplinary development group and approved by the Ministry of Health Malaysia in 2018.

Management of diabetes in pregnancy in primary care.

Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with risks to the woman and her developing fetus. Management of the condition at the primary care level includes pre-conception care, screening, diagnosis, as well as antenatal and postpartum care. A multidisciplinary approach is essential in ensuring its holistic management.

Health Technology Assessment in Malaysia: Past, Present, and Future.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of health technology assessment (HTA) in Malaysia over the past decade.

Methods: We described the evolution of HTA program in Malaysia based on review of administrative data, publicly available information and quantitative description of impact evaluation.

Results: Health Technology Assessment HTA was formalized in Malaysia in 1995 as a central structure within the Ministry of Health, Malaysia in 1995.

Management of asthma in adults in primary care.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway which is often misdiagnosed and undertreated. Early diagnosis and vigilant asthma control are crucial to preventing permanent airway damage, improving quality of life and reducing healthcare burdens. The key approaches to asthma management should include patient empowerment through health education and self-management and, an effective patient-healthcare provider partnership.

Tuberculosis in adults.

Tuberculosis (TB) in Malaysia is rising due to multiple factors and issues related to its management are addressed in the updated evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Screening for active TB should be considered in high risk groups. Light emitting diode-based fluorescence microscopy and nucleic acid amplification tests are recommended investigations.
