- The study investigates the factors contributing to the loss to follow-up among tuberculosis (TB) patients who smoke in Selangor, Malaysia, revealing a 14.1% dropout rate.
- Key determinants identified include specific age groups (32-53 years), Malaysian nationality, urban residency, low income, unemployment, and lower education levels, along with previous TB treatment history and HIV positivity.
- The analysis employed logistic regression, resulting in a predictive model with a 67.2% accuracy in identifying those at risk of loss to follow-up.
Objective: This study was undertaken to investigate the antihyperglycemic potential of miracle fruit (MF) as well as its hepatic safety as compared to aspartame in alloxan-induced diabetic mice.
Methods: MF extracts were prepared and screened for their phytochemical composition using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Total phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents and antioxidant potential were also determined.
