Introduction: Pancreatic cancer incidence in Malaysia is steadily on the rise, now ranking as the 14th most common malignancy in the country. Despite this upward trend, research on prognostic factors affecting pancreatic cancer survival remains limited, highlighting the need for ongoing investigation to improve patient survival outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively by reviewing records of pancreatic cancer patients hospitalized between January 2011 and December 2018 across multiple health centres in Malaysia.
Article Synopsis
- In 2023, simultaneous surveys in Eastern and Sarawak regions of Malaysia assessed the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment, comparing results to a survey conducted in 2014.
- The surveys utilized the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) technique, examining 9,709 out of 10,184 sampled residents aged 50 and older, revealing a decrease in rates of blindness and severe visual impairment.
- The primary cause of blindness was found to be untreated cataracts, emphasizing the need for increased efforts to address avoidable blindness despite progress since the last survey.
Background/aims: Population surveys are required to measure the prevalence of cataract blindness in the community. We conducted simultaneous surveys in two regions in Malaysia in 2023 to estimate the prevalence of untreated cataract, measure the visual outcomes after cataract surgery and compare the results with the survey in 2014.
Methods: The surveys were done in Eastern and Sarawak administrative regions using the rapid assessment of avoidable blindness technique.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to fear, rumours, and stigma, particularly against those infected with the virus. In Malaysia, the manufacturing industry is particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 clusters, making it critical to assess stigma attitudes among workers. To address this issue, The Workplace COVID-19 Knowledge & Stigma Scale (WoCKSS) was developed specifically for use in the manufacturing industry which served as the sample population for testing this scale.
