Anaesthesia of the Malayan sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) using tiletamine-zolazepam-xylazine combination

Eight Malayan sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) were immobilised with Zoletil® (x = 3.44 mg/kg) and xylazine (x = 0.65 mg/kg). The sun bears were darted intramuscularly by using a blow pipe at muscular areas such as the rump and shoulder regions. Psychological data were recorded every 10 min throughout the immobilisation period. No antagonist drug was used. The drug combination was able to induced smooth, rapid and good anaesthesia with analgesia within 11-30 minutes (mean ± S. D. = 21.1 ± 6.44 min). Time from complete immobilisation to recovery (walking) range from 157 ± 25.6 min (range = 124 – 186 min). No pedal pinch reflex was observed in all animals. The anesthetic depth and analgesia were reasonably adequate to conduct a physical examination and perform minor clinical procedures. There were no significant clinical adverse effects observed except for hypersalivation and frothing during the reversible period

Hematological profiles of the Malayan sun bear (Heiarctos Malayanus) kept in captivity

Nineteen haematological parameters for the Malayan sun bear which include PCV, RBC count, differential counts for leucocytes, plasma protein, PT and APTT were evaluated. Twenty-six biochemical parameters were analysed namely sodium, potassium, chloride, inorganic phosphate, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose, cholesterol, total bilirubin, total protein, alanine transferase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, craetine kinase, globulin, albumin, globulin-albumin ratio, amylase, lactate dehydrogenase, lipase, lactate, uric acid, triglyceride and gammaglutamyl transferase. Comparing males and females, males showed a significantly higher value for haemaglobin. Leucocytes and segmented neutrophils were significantly higher in sub-adults. Current values showed low haemoglobin and leucocytes compared to previous data. Preliminary data on anticoagulation factors namely PT and APTT were recorded. Biochemistry showed ALT, GGT and CK were significantly higher in males. The sub-adult group showed higher values of ALT, GGT, CK, LDH and albumin. Compared to previous reports, current data showed lower values of calcium, inorganic phosphate, BUN and AST. Additional preliminary data on GGT, amylase, CK, total triglyceride, lipase and lactate were recorded

An Upgraded Transverse Electromagnetic Parallel Plates for Dielectric Measurement

A new version of transverse electromagnetic parallel plates with irregular plates’ width and plate separation has been developed for dielectric measurement. The separations between the plates are supported by four rectangular Teflon block and 1 mm of groove is proposed at the center of the upper plate to maintain the measurement repeatability. The groove enables the samples which are slightly higher than 2 cm to be fitted well between the plates without introducing extra force to the plates. Theperformance of both parallel plates has been compared in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 1.1 GHz. It is found that the upgraded parallel plate offers better return loss and insertion loss above 500 MHz compared to the previous parallel plate. It is reported from this work that the return loss of the parallel plate must be lower than -15 dB in order to achieve accurate dielectric constant. However, the insertion loss of the parallel plates does not influence the real permeability significantly. The upgraded TEM parallel plateproduces a consistent reading with a standard deviation of less than 0.05 above frequency 200 MHz. The dielectric measurement of Polypropylene (PP) has proven the capability of this upgraded TEM parallelplate

Occupational risk to tuberculosis disease among health care workers in an emergency department hospital

Tuberculosis is known as an occupational hazard for healthcare workers especially in countries with high cases of tuberculosis (TB). There is an increase incidence of tuberculosis among Ministry of Health Workers in Malaysia. The objective of this study is to identify the main risk factor to tuberculosis among health care workers in an Emergency Department of Hospital XYZ. Currently there is no specific tuberculosis prevention program in this health care facility. Employees are usually given a longer sick leave and it will have a huge impact on the department operations. It will also involve an increase in morbidity and mortality cases. This is quantitative and qualitative study where the data is obtained through observation, questionnaires and interviews. The result findings was based on the observation, questionnaires and interviews and was analysed using Risk Assessment Matrix (HIRARC) to find out what are the main factor that caused tuberculosis infection among health care workers. Through the data obtained the main risk factor is the failure to wear PPE while working followed by other factors such as environmental control and administrative control as there is currently no screening done against all health care workers. It has been proven in this study that the main risk factors are PPE usage and followed by other risk factors such as environmental control and administrative control which causes them to tend to get tuberculosis infection

Heavy metal biomarker: Fish behavior, cellular alteration, enzymatic reaction and proteomics approaches

Due to the latest industrial development, many dangerous chemicals have been released directly or indirectly which resulted in the polluted water bodies. Water rehabilitation is an alternative way to restore the quality of water, followed by the environmental management to control the waste discharge to ensure the balance of the degradation rates or detoxifying by environmental factors. However, this process consumed a lot of time and cost. Besides, most of the metal ions, especially copper which is capable to bio accumulate in aquatic organism and at the elevated level may cause physiological and biochemical alteration which leads to mortality. Environmental monitoring is the initial step presupposed evaluating the potential toxicity of effluent gushing at its purpose to discharge, avoiding the determining effects of contaminant in water bodies. Due to the high sensitivity of the aquatic life towards dissolving toxicant, the fish has been utilized as the biological measurement (Biomarker) to indicate the existence of toxicant exposure and/or the impact towards the evaluation of molecular, cellular to physiological level. Thus, this paper gives an overview of the manipulation of fish as a biomarker of heavy metals through behavior response, hepatocyte alteration, enzymatic reaction and proteomic studies which have proven to be very useful in the environmental pollution monitoring
