The Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT) is one of the most important measures of individual differences in face recognition and for the diagnosis of prosopagnosia. Having two different CFMT versions using a different set of faces seems to improve the reliability of the evaluation. However, at the present time, there is only one Asian version of the test. In this study, we present the Cambridge Face Memory Test - Chinese Malaysian (CFMT-MY), a novel Asian CFMT using Chinese Malaysian faces. In Experiment 1, Chinese Malaysian participants (N = 134) completed two versions of the Asian CFMT and one object recognition test. The CFMT-MY showed a normal distribution, high internal reliability, high consistency and presented convergent and divergent validity. Additionally, in contrast to the original Asian CFMT, the CFMT-MY showed an increasing level of difficulties across stages. In Experiment 2, Caucasian participants (N = 135) completed the two versions of the Asian CFMT and the original Caucasian CFMT. Results showed that the CFMT-MY exhibited the other-race effect. Overall, the CFMT-MY seems to be suitable for the diagnosis of face recognition difficulties and could be used as a measure of face recognition ability by researchers who wish to examine face-related research questions such as individual differences or the other-race effect.

Exploring Molecular Genetics Research on Obesity in Malaysia: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

JMIR Res Protoc

December 2024

Endocrine and Metabolic Unit, Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Research Centre, Institute for Medical Research, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia.

Background: Obesity presents a growing challenge to public health, and its intricate association with genetics continues to be a compelling field of study. In countries such as Malaysia, where diverse genetic backgrounds converge, exploring the molecular genetics of obesity is even more imperative.

Objective: This scoping review aimed to explore the literature on molecular genetics of obesity in Malaysia.

Aims: We examined the association between sex, age, temporal trends, and glycemic control among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a multi-ethnic middle-income Asian country.

Methods: Using the National Diabetes Registry (2011-2020), we analyzed data for 221,769 adult Malaysians with T2D.We used quantile regressions to estimate the association of sex, age, and their interaction on HbAlevels at the 5th, 50th, and 95thpercentile and logistic regression to estimate the odds of good control (HbA < 7 %).

Introduction: WHO's Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) proposes we measure the functional construct of intrinsic capacity (IC) to monitor and identify individuals with age-associated vulnerabilities. Assessments of IC may be useful to address the evolving, non-HV care needs of ageing people with HIV (PWH). However, to date, its utility within the context of HIV has not been assessed.

Article Synopsis
  • * The two viruses, isolated from commercial breeder and layer flocks, were found to be multiple-genotype reassortants with genes from various lineages, indicating a new genotype distinct from earlier strains.
  • * The study suggests that the Malaysian H9N2 strain, while related to other regional strains, contains unique genetic features, including a novel PB1 gene from a Korean lineage, indicating evolving virus characteristics in the area.
