Abstract

Objective: This case report highlights the optimum end-of-life care of an adolescent dying of
cancer. Method: We report our experience, as part of a multidisciplinary team in managing
the cancers of a female student who died an untimely death at the age of 15. Results: Our
role of motivating her for chemotherapy of her initial treatable carcinoma, became that of
palliative care upon discovery of a second malignancy. We helped the patient "live life to the
fullest" during her last days, she helped us realize that helping her master the tasks of
adolescence was optimum "end-of-life care" as well... |

Objective: The occurrence of thrombocytopenia with valproate and clozapine
combination therapy has not been noted in the literature. This case report highlights
thrombocytopenia as a potential outcome of drug-drug interaction between
valproate and clozapine, and serves to remind practitioners that regular monitoring
of platelet counts is necessary in such combination therapy. Method: We report on a
patient on valproate therapy who developed thrombocytopenia when clozapine was
added to her treatment regime... |

Abstract

Objective: There are two general theoretical explanations for delusions, the deficit and
the motivational. In the deficit approach, scientists have argued that delusions are the
consequences of fundamental perceptual or reasoning deficits which cause the individual
to misunderstand what is happening in the world. The second approach views delusions
as serving a defensive, palliative function, as representing an attempt to relieve pain,
tension and distress. Methods: The present review article is based on literature review
about Paranoid Delusion theories... |

Objective: The number of people surviving until old age has been increasing
worldwide. Reductions in both fertility and mortality rates, better living
standards, nutrition and health care are claimed to be the key factors that
increase the proportion of aged people within the population. Nevertheless,
growing numbers of older adults also increases the susceptibility to diseases
that commonly afflict the elderly, such as dementia. In this article, we discuss
on the current issues of dementia in Malaysia and its challenge in providing a
better management and services for this population... |

Objective: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for depression is popular in
Western countries. In the context of Malaysia, CBT has been applied as an
individual session in a clinical setting. However, there is limited research in the
area of group CBT for depression among Malays. The aim of this study is to
investigate the effectiveness of Group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (GCBT)
in reducing the negative cognitions that are related to depression in a group of
Malay patients. Methods: One hundred and thirteen patients, diagnosed with
depression, were randomly allocated to either a Treatment As Usual (TAU)
group (n = 55), or a TAU plus GCBT group (n = 58)... |

have sub-threshold symptoms of brain fag and are at risk for developing brain fag
syndrome. This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable psychometric instrument that

Tobacco use is a significant risk factor for oral diseases. Periodontal disease has been known to be associated with tobacco use for over twenty years. Despite that, dentists and particularly periodontist does not include tobacco use cessation as part of their initial treatment in treating periodontal disease or placing implants in patients who use tobacco. The increase in prevalence and severity of periodontitis among smokers cannot be explained by differences in the amount of plaque between smokers and nonsmokers... |
