Objectives: To evaluate, in the FLEX Registry, clinical outcomes of an ultrathin (60 µm) biodegradable polymer-coated Supraflex sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Additionally, to determine the vascular response to the Supraflex SES through optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis.
Setting: Multicentre, single-arm, all-comers, observational registry of patients who were treated with the Supraflex SES, between July 2013 and May 2014, at nine different centres in India.
Background: Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been shown to reduce the rate of acute complications and the need for subsequent revascularization in cases where single-vessels are treated. The performance of DES in patients with multivessel disease and complex lesions, however, remains controversial. This study assessed and compared clinical outcomes following single vs.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between disparities in parental age and increased risk factor for common mental disorders in the progenies during adulthood.
Methodology: The Malaysian Mental Health Survey (MMHS) was analysed for this study.
Objective: This paper examines the factors contributing to the under utilisation of health care services in the Malaysian population.
Methodology: Using data derived from Malaysian Mental Health Survey (MMHS) information on utilisation of four basic health services in the previous three months, namely contact with health care professionals, ward admissions, having diagnostic or laboratory tests done and being on any medications were obtained.
Results: A total of 2202 out of 3666 or 60% of the MMHS participants were included in this study.
Introduction: There is evidence in the literature that there are associations between advancing paternal age and psychosis or more specifically schizophrenia, but not enough to support a strong link between advancing paternal age and common mental disorders.
Objective: This study aims to explain the association between paternal age at birth and common mental disorders in progeny during their adulthood.
Methodology: This is a sub-study from a larger survey which was planned to study the epidemiology of mental disorders in Malaysia.
