Background and Purpose: and purpose: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a significant global health concern with limited pharmacotherapy options. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized extract of in mild-to-moderate NAFLD.
Materials And Methods: This was a 12-month randomized controlled trial, in which adults with a controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score >250 dB/m and a fibrosis score <10 kPa were randomly assigned to receive a standardized extract at a dose of 3,000 mg daily (n = 112) or a placebo (n = 114).
Objectives: The relationships of Paired Like Homeodomain 2 (PITX2), Ninjurin 2 (NINJ2), TWIST-Related Protein 1 (TWIST1), Ras Interacting Protein 1 (Rasip1), Solute Carrier Family 17 Member 3 (SLC17A3), Methylmalonyl Co-A Mutase (MUT) and Fer3 Like BHLH Transcription Factor (FERD3L) polymorphisms and gene expression with ischemic stroke have yet to be determined in Malaysia. Hence, this study aimed to explore the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene expression with ischemic stroke risk among population who resided at the Northern region of Malaysia.
Materials And Methods: Study subjects including 216 ischemic stroke patients and 203 healthy controls were recruited upon obtaining ethical clearance.
The current study examined how the trends in childhood vaccination refusal in Kedah, Malaysia, changed over a 4-year period (2013-2016). Data contributed by 60 public health centers were used to determine the annual incidence rates (per 1000 newborns) of vaccination refusal, and to identify the reasons for refusal among the mothers. The trend analysis revealed a 2.
